Abstract:
1. A bottle and tube holder and display comprising: a first disk, substantially circular in shape, having a first side and a second side, and a plurality of generally circular first holes formed therein; the first holes are sufficiently large to accommodate the bodies of tubes of consumables; the first holes are arranged in generally radially oriented first rows of at least two holes, each of the first rows extending from a point near the center of the first disk to a point near the perimeter of the first disk, a second disk, substantially circular in shape, having a first side and a second side, and a plurality of generally circular second holes formed therein; the second holes are smaller in diameter than the first holes, and smaller in diameter than the body of the tubes of consumables, but sufficiently large to accommodate the smaller tops of the tubes of consumables; the second holes are arranged in generally radially oriented second rows of at least two holes, each of the second rows extending from a point near the center of the second disk to a point near the perimeter of the second disk; a plurality of first bars having first and second ends; the first end of the first bars may be connected to the first disk, and the second end of the first bars may be connected to the second disk, to create a first ganged pair of disks; a substantial number of the first holes are positioned substantially in alignment to the same number of second holes in the first ganged pair of disks when the first ends of the first bars are connected to the first disk and the second ends of the first bars are connected to the second disk; means for rotating the first ganged pair of disks; whereby the sides of the bodies of the tubes of consumables may be held, when placed in the first ganged pair of disks, by the first disk, at the edges of the first holes, and the sides of the tops of the tubes of consumables, when the tops are placed on the tubes of consumables, may be held, when placed in the first ganged pair of disks, by the second disk, at the edges of the second holes, and the sides of the bodies of the tubes of consumables, between and above the first and second disks of the first clanged pair of disks, may be viewed by an operator, and the ends of the bodies of the tubes of consumables may be accessed by an operator above the first ganged pair of disks.
