ABSTRACT:
A device for displaying and dispensing articles above a horizontal surface includes a turntable for engaging the surface and supporting the device. A base is held above the turntable for rotation about a central vertical axis. A top is held above the base. A stack of article-holding tiers is positioned between the base and the top. Each tier has a plurality of groups of elongate stalls, each stall in a group configured to hold one article. The stalls in each group are arrayed generally side-by-side with each other and each stall has an open outboard end for removal of articles from the stall. A corresponding plurality of groups of blocking members are each associated with a corresponding group of stalls. Each blocking member is associated with one stall in the associated group of stalls. Either the group of blocking members or its associated group of stalls is a moveable group, movable as a unit between a first position wherein the blocking members substantially prevent removal of the articles held by the associated stalls and a second position wherein extraction of such articles past the blocking members is possible. The movable group is biased toward the first position.
