ABSTRACT:
A gravity feed combined display and storage unit for use in a professional salon type environment. The unit is divided into a plurality of compartments separated by a series of bottle supports, T-shaped in configuration, which includes an upright divider member and outwardly depending shoulders. The supports slope dowwardly from the back to the front of the unit where they abut a plurality of bottle stops. The sides of the shoulders are spaced apart a sufficient distance, to support a bottle by the underside of its angle and neck feed, the bottle supports being positioned at a sufficient height so that the bottles hang free and clear from any base surface. The shoulders terminate a sufficient distance from the back wall to that bottles may be placed in the rear, the shoulders supporting a number of bottles.
The bottle stops terminate just below the shoulders and the bottle neck, exposing the entire front panel. The edge of adjacent stops form a channel whose width is less than the diameter of the bottle neck, with intermediate setbacks, then forming a channel whose width is greater than the width of the neck and the cap. The distance from the bottom of the stop to the setback is sufficiently less than the distance from the bottle shoulder to the neck feed, so that slightly elevating the bottle allows it to clear the stops and be removed. Gravity will cause the bottles in back of the removed bottles to slide forward, thus exposing the label of the next bottle in sequence.
