ABSTRACT:
A display unit includes multiple vertical panels that are adapted to carry and display relatively flat articles such as roofing and flooring samples. The panels are pivotally mounted for swinging generally left and right between upper and lower retaining plates which are mounted for manual rotation about a vertical axis such that each panel passes a position at the front of the unit as the retaining plates rotate through one revolution. A ratchet-type mechanism permits relatively free rotation of the unit in one direction, such as to the right, but includes equally spaced detents to interrupt free rotation of the unit each time a panel reaches said front position. The panels are biased to swing toward, in the present instance, the right, such that the front of each panel is presented in a forwardly direction when that panel is positioned at the front of the unit. A stop mechanism is positioned to engage the panel that is approaching the position preceding said front position, and is adapted cause that panel to swing, in the present instance, to the left, such that the back of that panel is presented in a forwardly direction when it reaches said preceding position, and such that a person viewing the front of the merchandiser will see the front of the panel in the front position and the back of the panel in the preceding position.
