Abstract
Merchandise display assembly including a vertical bin having an upper filling opening and a lower dispensing opening, mounted by a suspension linkage on brackets attached to a vertical support structure, to swing the bin outwardly and downwardly from an upper storage position at which the bin rear is adjacent the support structure and the lower opening is at a height at which merchandise items in the bin can be readily removed by a consumer, to a lower filling position at which the bin rear is outwardly spaced from the support structure and the upper opening is at a height at which such items can be readily filled thereinto, while maintaining the bin vertical in any movement position thereof. The bin is usable with a merchandise display tray such as an outwardly and downwardly inclined gravity feed drawer, connected to the support structure therebelow, such that the bin when in upper position permits opening of the drawer for unhindered loading of merchandise items at its rear portion, and when in lower position for loading the bin with its items outwardly clears the closed drawer.
