Transportable display module

A transportable display module for a plurality of containers each having a top and a bottom, comprising:

• a base member supporting a first layer of containers;
• a plurality of layers each comprising a tier sheet alternating with a plurality of layers of containers;
• each of said tier sheets being identical and having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a circumferential skirt surrounding said tier sheet;
• said top surface having an array of container bottom receiving recesses, and said bottom surface having an array of container top receiving recesses disposed concentric with said bottom receiving recesses;
• said base member including an upper portion comprising an addition one of said tier sheets, and a lower portion affixed thereto and including a plurality of supporting legs and reinforcing structure located along said lower portion between said legs for enabling said display module to be supported by said base member;
• said lower portion being formed as a single sheet, said legs being each formed as a downwardly depending hollow cup and said reinforcing structure being formed into said single sheet.

• a base member having a plurality of legs for said display module supporting a first layer of containers;
• a plurality of layers each comprising a tier sheet alternating with a plurality of containers;
• each of said tier sheets being identical and having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a circumferential skirt surrounding said tier sheet;
• said top surface having an array of container bottom receiving recesses, and said bottom surface having an array of container top receiving recesses disposed concentric with said bottom receiving recesses;
• a cap member positioned on top of the uppermost one of said layers of containers, said cap member being substantially the same size as said tier sheets and including a central portion having a downwardly depending cap skirt surrounding said central portion, said central portion further having formed therein means for supporting legs of another base member arranged in a manner identical to said legs of said display module, whereby a second display module may be stacked thereon.

• a plurality of layers each comprising a tier sheet alternating with a plurality of containers;
• each of said tier sheets being identical and having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a circumferential skirt surrounding said tier sheet;
• said top surface having an array of container bottom receiving recesses defining four corner recesses and parallel rows of said recesses, each row comprising an even number of said recesses, and said bottom surface having an array of container top receiving recesses disposed concentric with said bottom receiving recesses;
• said base member including an upper portion having an upper surface identical to said upper surface of one of said tier sheets, and at least six downwardly-depending supporting legs arranged to underly each of said corner recesses and between the centermost ones of said recesses of the outermost rows;
• said corner recesses being formed of a size to receive one of said legs into each of said corner recesses, said tier sheets being further formed with a portion between the centermost ones of said bottom receiving recesses of the outermost rows removed to receive therebetween one of said legs, whereby said tier sheets and said base member may be nested together when empties of said containers.
