Display rack

Abstract

A display rack for packages of hardware and like articles is described. The rack includes a support and a plurality of elongate elements which project outwardly from the support in generally parallel positions and from which the packages can be suspended. The elements have free outer end portions over which the packages can be slidably fitted onto and removed from the elements and the elements are arranged to incline downwardly to a slight extent away from said support when the rack is in use, so that packages suspended on the elements tend to slide towards said outer end portions under the action of gravity. An elongate stop member is coupled to the support and extends transversely of and above the package support elements adjacent their outer end portions. The elements are normally disposed in contact with the stop member when fully loaded with packages, so the member prevents the packages sliding off the elements. The elements are resiliently deflectable away from the stop member to permit removal of packages.
