Title: Apparatus for the display and dispensing of merchandise

Abstract: Apparatus for the display and dispensing of merchandise with at least one vertically extending carrier supporting the goods. The carrier can be slid out of the apparatus into a position in which it extends most of the way out of the apparatus, this position being determined by a stop, the goods being readily observable in this position. The stop limiting the sliding-out distance of the carrier can be selectively manually displaced from its operative position, whereupon the carrier can be pulled out in its entirety and detached from the apparatus. The goods can be removed from the carrier only after the latter has been detached from the apparatus. Upon re-insertion of the carrier, the stop automatically snaps behind the carrier, so that no special manipulation of the stop is needed at this time.
