A display device for generally cylindrical articles all having substantially equal heights and diameters, said display device comprising:
- an upper portion defining a generally forwardly facing loading opening;
- and
- a lower portion having first and second forwardly disposed dispensing portions in the display device, the second dispensing portion being vertically positioned above the first dispensing portion;
- product support structures supported in the display device and operatively connecting with the first and second dispensing portions;
- said product support structures communicating with the forwardly facing loading opening so that the generally cylindrical articles when loaded into the forward facing loading opening proceed to the product support structures and travel thereon with an axis of the articles being generally horizontal, said product support structures being configured so that the generally cylindrical articles advance thereon by gravity towards the first or second dispensing portions;
- the first and second dispensing portions having, respectively, first and second product travel stops supported thereon, the travel stops each being configured to block forward motion of the cylindrical articles in the respective dispensing portion beyond a respective forwardmost point;
- and
- the first and second dispensing portions defining therebetween a generally upwardly-disposed space extending a horizontal distance between a forwardmost end portion of the second dispensing portion and the forwardmost point of the first product travel stop;
- and
- the second dispensing portion being supported at a vertical distance above the product support structure leading to the first dispensing portion so as to define a product passage space therebetween that is configured to allow passage of the cylindrical articles therethrough;
