Abstract

A front-loading and front-discharging, exclusively gravity-feed display device for upright articles includes an exclusively gravity-feed track of a U-shaped design in plan, a U-shaped cross-section open at the top thereof, and a generally uniform article-supporting longitudinal incline extending downwardly along the length of the track. In a preferred embodiment, the track defines a loading or supply end, and a dispensing or delivery end, the loading and dispensing ends being in generally the same vertical plane. A U-shaped bight track section is spaced from the same vertical plane. An upper track section functionally connects the loading end and the bight track section, and a lower track section functionally connects the bight track section and the dispensing end. The upper, bight and lower track sections cooperatively and successively define a downwardly-extending article-supporting incline along the entire U-shaped length of the track.
