Abstract
A display rack including shelf assemblies which are movable between a retracted position and an extended position. Each shelf assembly includes a pair of slides adapted to slidably receive a pair of support arms extending forwardly from vertical uprights of the display rack. Each slide has a cavity therein in which one of the support arms is slidably received. The shelf may be locked in either an extended position or a retracted position.
Claims20
A display rack comprising:
- a base,
- a pair of uprights extending upwardly from said base,
- a pair of support arms fixed to said pair of uprights, each of said support arms having an upwardly extending projection,
- a shelf assembly supported by said support arms and movable between a retracted position and an extended position, said shelf assembly comprising a wire shelf and a pair of slides secured to said wire shelf, each of said slides comprising an inner bracket and an outer bracket, each of said brackets having a recess, said recesses cooperating to define a cavity therebetween in which one of said support arms is slidably received, said cavity having a first extension and a second extension, said projections of said support arms being located in said first extensions when said shelf assembly is in said retracted position and being located in said second extensions when said shelf assembly is in said extended position.
A display rack comprising:
- a base,
- vertical uprights secured to said base,
- support arms fixed to said vertical uprights, said support arms extending outwardly from said vertical uprights, each of said support arms having a projection at an outer end of said support arm,
- a shelf assembly slidably engaged with a pair of said support arms, said shelf assembly being movable between a retracted position and an extended position, said shelf assembly comprising a shelf and a pair of slides secured to said shelf, each of said slides comprising an inner bracket and an outer bracket, each of said brackets having a recess, said recesses cooperating to define a cavity therebetween in which one of said support arms is slidably received, said cavity having first and second cavity extensions, said projections of said support arms being engaged with said first cavity extensions when said shelf assembly is in said retracted position and being engaged with said second cavity extensions when said shelf assembly is in said extended position whereby said shelf assembly is moved from said retracted position to said extended position by disengaging said projections of said support arms from said first cavity extensions by lifting said shelf assembly upwardly and inwardly.
A shelf assembly for use in a display rack having a pair of support arms extending outwardly from said display rack, said shelf assembly being movable between a retracted position and an extended position and comprising:
- a wire shelf and a pair of slides, each of said slides comprising an inner bracket and an outer bracket, each of said brackets having a recess, said recesses cooperating to define a cavity therebetween in which one of said support arms is slidably received, each of said support arms having a projection at an outer end of said support arm, said cavity having a first extension and a second extension, said projections of said support arms being located in said first extensions when said shelf assembly is in said retracted position and being located in said second extensions when said shelf assembly is in said extended position.
