Mobile display board arrangement

A mobile display unit comprising:

• a wheeled base having upper and lower supports disposed in vertically spaced relation and defining a storage region therebetween, said storage region being accessible from at least one side of said wheeled base, said lower support comprising a shelflike member provided with rolling elements mounted on an underside thereof adjacent corners thereof for rolling engagement with a floor;
• a pair of enlarged platelike display boards fixedly mounted on said base and projecting upwardly from said upper support, said pair of display boards being disposed generally in back-to-back relationship so that a front face of one said display board faces sidewardly of said unit in one direction and a front face of the other said display board faces sidewardly of said unit in the opposite direction;
• at least one of said display boards having at least an outer surface layer which defines said front face, said outer surface layer being of a synthetic resin so that said front face is a substantially planar and flat smooth surface capable of functioning as a marker board for permitting writing thereon with eraser ink marker pens;
• a substantially upwardly-facing tray assembly movably supported on said base directly adjacent a lower horizontally extending edge of said one marker board, said tray assembly being horizontally sidewardly movable relative to said base between retracted and extended positions, said tray assembly including an outer longitudinally elongate tray which is positioned directly adjacent and projects sidewardly outwardly from and horizontally longitudinally along said one display board adjacent the lower edge thereof when said tray assembly is in said retracted position, said tray assembly also including an inner upwardly-facing tray which is longitudinally elongated of said unit and which is fixed to and projects sidewardly and inwardly from said outer tray so as to be stored generally rearwardly of said one display board when said tray assembly is in said retracted position, said tray assembly being horizontally movable sidewardly of said unit into said extended position wherein said inner tray is positioned adjacent and extends generally longitudinally along the lower edge of said one display board and projects generally horizontally outwardly therefrom;
• and
• bracket means extending transversely between and fixedly joined to horizontally extending upper edges of said display boards for fixedly joining said display boards together, said bracket means including a horizontally elongate hanger rod which is spaced outwardly from the front face of at least one said display board and extends generally horizontally and longitudinally therealong for permitting separate removable hanger units to be suspended therefrom in the vicinity of the front face of said one display board adjacent the upper edge thereof.

An upright mobile display unit, comprising:

• a wheeled base;
• first and second enlarged and platelike display boards mounted on and projecting upwardly from said base in generally back-to-back relation so that said pair of display boards define thereon enlarged and substantially flat outer front faces which face sidewardly in opposite directions, said display boards being mounted so that lower and generally horizontally extending edges thereof are positioned in sidewardly spaced relation relative to said base, said first and second display boards projecting vertically upwardly from said lower edges and each being angled sidewardly toward the other display board so that generally horizontally extending upper edges of said first and second display boards are positioned sidewardly closely adjacent one another, and bracket structure fixedly joined between said first and second display boards in the vicinity of said upper edges, said first and second display boards defining an interior storage region therebetween which extends longitudinally of said display unit and is accessible from at least one end thereof;
• storage structure positioned within said interior region adjacent at least said one end thereof and cooperating with back surfaces of said first and second display boards for permitting supportive storage of articles within said storage region;
• each said display board including an outer sheetlike surface layer which is of a synthetic resin material so that said outer front face has a smooth and light colored surface capable of writing thereon with erasable ink marker pens;
• first and second longitudinally elongate trays positioned adjacent the lower edges of the respective first and second display boards and projecting longitudinally therealong, said first and second trays projecting outwardly relative to the respective display board and defining an upwardly-facing support surface for supporting marker board utensils thereon;
• each of said first and second trays having an inner tray fixedly joined thereto and projecting inwardly for storage behind the respective display board, said inner tray defining an upwardly-facing article support surface thereon, and a slide structure cooperating between said inner tray and said base for permitting said inner tray to be horizontally slidably displaced between an inner storage position wherein the inner tray is disposed inwardly of the respective display board and an outer access position wherein the inner tray is disposed adjacent and extends longitudinally along and projects sidewardly outwardly from the respective display board adjacent the lower edge thereof.

An upright mobile display unit, comprising:

• a wheeled base;
• first and second enlarged and platelike display boards mounted on and projecting upwardly from said base in generally back-to-back relation so that said first and second display boards define thereon enlarged and substantially flat outer front faces which face sidewardly in opposite directions, said display boards being mounted so that lower and generally horizontally extending edges thereof are positioned in sidewardly spaced relation relative to said base, said first and second display boards projecting vertically upwardly from said lower edges and each being angled sidewardly toward the other display board so that generally horizontally extending upper edges of said first and second display boards are positioned sidewardly closely adjacent one another, and bracket structure fixedly joined between said first and second display boards in the vicinity of said upper edges, said first and second display boards defining an interior storage region therebetween which extends longitudinally of said display unit and is accessible from at least one end thereof;
• storage structure positioned within said interior region adjacent at least said one end thereof and cooperating with back surfaces of said first and second display boards for permitting supportive storage of articles within said storage region;
• each said display board including an outer sheetlike surface layer which is of a synthetic resin material so that said outer front face has a smooth and light colored surface capable of writing thereon with erasable ink marker pens;
• first and second longitudinally elongate trays positioned adjacent the lower edges of the respective first and second display boards and projecting longitudinally therealong, said first and second trays projecting outwardly relative to the respective display board and defining an upwardly-facing support surface for supporting marker board utensils thereon;
• said base including upper and lower support members disposed in vertically spaced relation and defining an interior storage compartment therebetween, said storage compartment being horizontally accessible from opposite sides of said base, and said display boards being disposed with the lower horizontally extending edges thereof positioned adjacent and supported on said upper support, and said first and second trays being supported on said upper support on opposite sides of said base unit adjacent the lower edges of said display boards;
• and
• a hanger-accommodating support rod stationarily mounted adjacent a longitudinally extending upper edge of each said display board, said support rod being generally horizontally elongated in the lengthwise direction of the display board and spaced sidewardly outwardly away from the front face of the respective display board in the vicinity of the upper edge thereof.
