The combination comprising:
- (a) display apparatus for supporting and displaying product on one face of a substantially vertical wall including:
- (i) a support panel;
- (ii) a floor supported on said support panel;
- and
- (iii) a prong having defined cross-sectional dimensions extending from said support panel;
- and
- (b) a suction cup including:
- (i) a cup body defining a face arranged in a substantially vertical plane;
- (ii) a stem extending from said cup body along an axis substantially normal to the plane of said face;
- and
- (iii) an aperture extending through said stem in a direction substantially normal to the axis of said stem, said aperture having cross-section dimensions adapted to receive said prong,
- wherein said prong is nested in said aperture and said suction cup is adhered to said vertical wall.
Apparatus for supporting and displaying product on one face of a substantially vertical wall comprising:
- (a) a support panel having a first face lying in a substantially vertical plane and defining first and second laterally opposed ends;
- (b) a floor supported on said support panel having a top face lying in a substantially horizontal plane;
- (c) a containment wall extending upwardly from the top face of said floor with
- (i) a substantial portion thereof spaced horizontally from and substantially parallel with the plane of said first face of said support panel and
- (ii) end portions which cooperate with said support panel and said floor to form a tray cavity defined by said floor and said containment wall;
- and
- (d) a plurality of prongs extending laterally outwardly from each of said laterally opposed ends.
Apparatus for mounting and displaying product on a substantially vertical wall comprising:
- (a) a suction cup having:
- (i) a back face;
- (ii) a concave front face arranged in a substantially vertical plane;
- (iii) a stem projecting from said back face along an axis substantially normal to said substantially vertical plane;
- and
- (iv) an aperture having defined dimensions extending through said stem in a direction substantially normal to said axis;
- and
- (b) a display shelf having:
- (i) a support panel;
- (ii) a floor supported on said support panel;
- and
- (iii) a prong having defined dimensions extending from said support panel secured in said aperture.
The method of mounting and displaying products on a substantially vertical wall comprising the steps of:
- (a) forming a suction cup having:
- (i) a back face;
- (ii) a concave front face arranged in a substantially vertical plane;
- (iii) a stem projecting from said back face along an axis substantially normal to said substantially vertical plane;
- and
- (v) an aperture extending through said stem in a direction substantially normal to said axis;
- (b) forming a display shelf having:
- (i) a support wall;
- (ii) a floor supported on said support wall;
- (iii) a prong having defined dimensions extending from said support wall;
- (c) securing said prong in said aperture;
- (d) securing said front face of said suction cup to said substantially vertical wall;
- and
- (e) mounting product to be displayed on said floor.
