Abstract
A front loading and front-dispensing drop rotation tray for product display and dispensing include a pair of vertically aligned inclined tracks for supporting product thereon, the tracks generally being inclined in an orientation for fostering product movement relative thereto—namely, a first upwardly and rearwardly inclined loading/dispensing track, and a second upwardly and rearwardly inclined dispensing track beneath the first track. The first track defines a drop aperture adjacent the rear end thereof enabling the passage of product from the first track onto the second track, whereby successive forcible loading of product onto the front of the first track causes the product to pass, under the influence of gravity, to the second track for display and dispensing.
