Figure 1 Figure 1 is a perspective view of a first product display and storage assembly (101), comprising a display panel (102) with a number of ". : apertures, each aperture being associated with a first product support (103) * and a second product support (104). Each first product support (103) is ***** * detachably mounted to a corresponding second product support (104) through a respective aperture of the display panel (102), such that each * second product support (104) extends substantially from a rear lace of the display panel (102) while each first product support (103) extends substantially from a front face of the display panel (102), and products (106) may pass through the aperture between the respective product supports (103, 104).
Each first product support (103) comprises frontal flanges (105) which abut the front face of the display panel (102). Each first product support (103) also comprises rear flanges (112) (not shown) which abut the rear face of the display panel (102). These flanges (105, 112) retain the first and second product support (103, 104) in a desired position.
The display panel (102) comprises fixing holes (111) through which the assembly (101) may be attached to shelf rails or other mounting means, for direct or indirect mounting to a wall, a ceiling or a support box.
The front face of the display panel (102) is adapted to receive information for display, such as marketing, product information or pricing information.
This information may be in the form of words, or pictures, or both.
The display panel (102) in this example comprises a plurality of apertures having different orientations. Each aperture is provided with a first product support (103) and a second product support (104). Different products (106) may thus be displayed within the same assembly (101).
Figure 2 Figure 2 is an exploded view of a second product display and storage assembly (201), in which the first product support (103) comprises an :. 25 extension (205) of the second product support (204), extending forwardly through the aperture (108), and a pair of side pieces (203) being detachably mounted adjacent the extension (205) of the second product support (204).
These side pieces (203) are each detachably mounted to the extension * S (205) of the second product support (204) and to the display panel (102).
Various widths and lengths of second product support (204) may be * ****** * S mounted to side pieces (203) of a standard size. The second product support (204) in this example comprises an elongate trough. The second product support (204) is provided with a spring-loaded, longitudinally acting pusher (107) which urges products held within the second product support (204) towards the first product support (103).
The display panel (102) in this example is laminar and comprises aluminium, but other materials such as plastics, other metal or cardboard or other fibrous, ligneous composite material may be used.

Figure 4 Figure 4 shows a frontal perspective view of the third product display and storage assembly (301) shown in Figure 3. This assembly (301) has been modified to be window-mountable, rather than free-standing, and is provided with suckers for this purpose. In this example, the front face of the display panel (102) is mounted to a window while the rear face is accessible to a shop assistant rather than to consumers. Consumers may view the products (106) through the window and then enter the shop or other retail premises to purchase them.
In this example, the spring-loaded pusher (107) is located towards a proximal end of the second product support (204) adjacent the first product support (203) and is oriented to push products (106) towards a distal end of the second product support (204), where they may be retrieved by a shop assistant. A single sample of the product is then located in the first product support (203) for display purposes.
ffjqures5aand5b Figure 5a is a perspective view of the front face of a fourth product display and storage assembly (401) provided with a display shelf (110). Figure 5b is a perspective view of the rear face of the same assembly (401). The shelf (110) is mounted to a side of a display panel (102) aperture. A sample * * 25 product (106) may be mounted upon the display shelf (110), allowing *:* consumers to view or try a sample of the product (106) before deciding to *". : purchase. The consumer could then remove one or more products from the * first product support (203). The resultant space in the first product support *oflt * (203) would then be filled by another product (106) pushed forwards by the action of the spring-loaded pusher (107). * 4*te* * a
