Modular display rack system

A display rack comprising:

• an upper rack portion comprising a first end ladder rack and a second end ladder rack and a lower base portion comprising a first end stabilizer bar and a second end stabilizer bar, wherein the first and the second end ladder racks are mechanically coupled to one another when a first lateral support bar comprising two male tabs each engages a slot in a receiving channel positioned on each of the first and the second end ladder racks, and the first and the second end stabilizer bars are mechanically coupled to one another when a cross-bar is telescopically positioned over a joining bracket located on a side edge of each of the first and the second end stabilizer bars,
• said display rack being configured to expand in size when a center ladder rack is positioned in between the first and the second end ladder racks and a center stabilizer bar is positioned between the first and the second end stabilizer bars;
• wherein when the display rack is expanded, the lateral support bar is positioned in between either the first end ladder rack and the center ladder rack or between the second end ladder rack and the center ladder rack,
• and wherein a second lateral support bar is positioned between either the first end ladder rack and the center ladder rack or between the second end ladder rack and the center ladder rack.

A method for installing a modular display rack, said method comprising:

• a) coupling a removable cross-bar having two open ends to two joining brackets, the two joining brackets being individually attached to two different stabilizer bars;
• b) fastening a ladder rack to each of the stabilizer bars at a center load bearing piece of each stabilizer bar;
• c) removeably coupling the two ladders to each other via a lateral support bar engaging a receiving channel located on each ladder rack;
• and
• d) wherein the receiving channels each comprises two sides and a base, and wherein the lateral support bar rests on the base between the two sides of each receiving channel in engaging the two receiving channels.

A modular display rack comprising a plurality of removable components including:

• a first ladder rack including a first side having a first bracket;
• a second ladder rack having a second bracket;
• a first base bar having a first edge and a first load-bearing piece for removeably supporting the first ladder rack in an upright position, the first load-bearing piece including a second edge and a third bracket, wherein the first edge and the second edge are in a generally perpendicular configuration relative to one another;
• a second base bar having a third edge and a second load-bearing piece for removeably supporting the second ladder rack in an upright position, the second load-bearing piece including a fourth edge and a fourth bracket, wherein the third edge and the fourth edge are in a generally perpendicular configuration relative to one another;
• a first lateral bar disposed between the first ladder rack and the second ladder rack, the first lateral bar having first and second ends for removeably engaging the first bracket and the second bracket of the first and second ladder racks respectively;
• a first cross bar disposed between the first base bar and the second base bar, the first cross bar having third and fourth ends for removeably engaging the third and fourth brackets of the first and second load bearing pieces respectively;
• wherein, the modular display rack may be assembled or disassembled into different configurations by engaging or disengaging the removable components.
