ABSTRACT:
Cassette modules and cassette displays for merchandizing tubular articles such as spools of thread are disclosed. In the preferred embodiments, the cassette modules are formed from module halves and are juxtaposed to form a cassette display, each cassette module comprising a plurality of chambers superposed in a column for housing the articles. In one disclosed embodiment, a frame is provided in which the cassette modules are mounted and removable from to form a cassette display. In that embodiment, each cassette module is pivotable about its upper end to facilitate mounting and also to facilitate loading of the articles into the chambers of the cassette modules. The height of the chambers of an individual cassette module and/or the chambers of cassette modules may vary to accommodate articles of different tubular sizes and the cassette modules may have different widths to accommodate articles of different length. Cassette modules in a cassette display may also differ from each other in their make-up of chambers. A cassette display may thereby be assembled to accommodate, if desired, articles of different diameters and lengths by the proper choice of cassette modules. The cassette modules and cassette displays according to the invention are utilizable on counters, free standing floor displays, pegboard walls, gondola frames, build-ups and fabric display tables.
