Claims8
An article display stand including a pair of substantially identical vertical support members and a pair of substantially identical horizontal support members, each of said horizontal support members including retaining means on one side thereof to hold said vertical support members in position between said horizontal support members, each of said vertical support members is an integral molded element having a pair of longitudinal side edges, and said retaining means comprises four separate elements adapted to hold a portion of said side edges and each of said retaining means elements comprises a pair of leg members connected by a bight portion and said portion of said side edges is frictionally held between said leg members.
An article display stand comprising:
- a pair of substantially identical vertical support members, each vertical support member having a pair of longitudinal side edges and a concave surface connecting said longitudinal side edges;
- and
- a pair of substantially identical horizontal support members, each horizontal support member having an inner surface with four separate retaining elements on said inner surface and extending therefrom, each of said retaining elements being adapted to engage one of said longitudinal side edges and a portion of said concave surface so as to frictionally hold said vertical support members in position between said horizontal support members.
An article display stand comprising:
- a pair of substantially identical vertical support members having an inner concave surface, an outer surface and a pair of longitudinal side edges;
- a pair of substantially identical horizontal support members, each of said horizontal support members including:
- retaining means on one side thereof, adapted to hold said vertical support members in a generally vertical position between said horizontal support members by means of separate retaining means elements adapted to hold a portion of said side edges of said vertical support members;
- and
- spacer means on the same side of said horizontal support member as said retaining means and spaced apart and distinct from said retaining means, for abutting against said inner surface of said vertical support members and restraining movement of said vertical support members in cooperation with said retaining means when a load is placed on said horizontal support members.
