The stand is foldable into a collapsed condition relative to two vertical fold lines formed on the side panel and located opposite to one another. The front panel will abut the rear panel when the stand is folded in the collapsed condition. The shelves are formed by a plurality of panels formed in an upper extension to the front panel and the rear panel. These panels are foldable relative to horizontal fold lines to form the three shelves resting horizontally on stepped upper edges of the side panels. Open end slots are formed in a free end edge of end panels of the front panel and rear panel, which are engageable with upper edges of the side panels for latching the opened side shelves securely in the horizontal position.
Description
FOLDABLE STEPPED DISPLAY STAND HAVING SHELVES WITH OPEN SIDES
This invention relates to display stands, and more particularly to a stepped display stand having shelves with open sides and is constructed from a single sheet material such as card board or corrugated board.
Display stands made of card board material are convenient and economical to use.
Commonly, display stands have an upright structure with two parallel side walls to define a three sided vertical space in which a plurality of shelves are provided. A main drawback of such display stands is that the side walls would block the view of the display articles from the two sides. Furthermore, such stands consist of many components parts which the user must assembled together in use. Due to the plurality of components, they are often time consuming and frustrating to assemble. Attempts have been made to provide display stands made from a single sheet material which may be folded along various score lines to form the final stand having a plurality of shelves. A multi-shelf display stand of such type is shown in U. S. Patent No.4,311,100 to J. M. Gardner et al. However, such stand has side walls which block the view of the displayed items on the shelves from the sides, and it is awkward and difficult to set up, and it may not be folded into a collapsed condition to facilitate transportation and storage.
It is a principal object of the present invention to provide a stepped display stand which has open shelves such that the display articles are visible from the sides and even at certain angles from the rear.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a stepped display stand made from a single sheet material.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a foldable stepped display stand which is collapsible into a folded condition for easy transportation and storage.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a stepped display stand which may be set up or folded easily and quickly.
The above objects and novel features of the present invention will be more clearly and fully set forth in the following specification with reference to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a general perspective side elevation view of the stepped display stand according to the present invention.

The display stand 10 may
In the meantime, the third section 39 will abut vertically the side edges of the middle section of the side panels 14 and 15. The upper free end sixth section 42 will also abut the vertical side edges of the upper sections of the side panels 14 and 15. The fifth section 41 may then pushed downwards to engage the open slots 49 and 50 of the free end sixth section 42 with the side panels until the fifth section 41 is latched securely to the side panels and resting horizontally on the top edges 19 and 22 of the middle sections of the side panels to form the middle shelf 12.
After the shelves 12 and 13 have been formed, the various sections of the upper extension 24 of the rear panel 17 may be folded as best shown in Figure 3, and then the first section 26 is flipped forward until it rests horizontally on the top edges 20 and 23 of the side panels 14 and 15 to form the upper shelf 11. The upper shelf 11 is latched securely in place by pushing the open slots 33 and 34 of the upper end section 29 to engage with the side edges of the top sections of the side panels such that the third section 28 will be latched securely in the vertical position abutting the side edges of the top sections of the side panels. The display stand 10 may

The optional reinforcing sections 57, 58, 59, and 60 provide additional supports to the upper and middle shelves 11 and 12 as well as against any horizontal bending force exerted on the top edges 19, 20, 22 and 23 of the side panels 14 and 15. Also, the reinforcing panels 61 and 62 may be folded and secured such as by adhesive to the underside of sections 41 and 26 respectively to strengthen the upper and lower shelves 11 and 13.
Two spaced arcuate scored lines 63 and 64 may be formed on the horizontal fold line 43 such that two upstanding arcuate abutments 65 and 66 are formed at the front edge of the lower shelf 13 when the display stand 10 is in the set up condition. These abutments serve to prevent items on the lower shelf 13 from falling over the front edge therein.
An alternative embodiment of the display stand of the present invention is shown in Figures 5 to 8. In these embodiment, the reinforcing sections 57, 58, 59, and 60 have a generally trapezoidal shape with foldable generally L-shaped outer extensions 67, 68, 69, and 70 as best shown in Figure 7. Also, a vertical slot 71 is formed at the middle of the fold line 46 and extending into the sections 39 and 40 as shown, and a second vertical slot 72 is formed at the middle of the fold line 31 and extending into the sections 27 and 28 as shown.
When the reinforcing sections 69 and 67 are folded towards the middle of the display stand they form horizontal supports 73 and 74 which engage with the slots 71 and 72 to lie underneath the upper and middle shelves 11 and 12 as best shown in Figure 5.
A vertical display panel 75 may be mounted to the rear of the upper shelf 11 for displaying an artistic or descriptive advertisement of the articles placed on the display stand 10.
The optional reinforcing sections 57, 58, 59, and 60 provide additional supports to the upper and middle shelves 11 and 12 as well as against any horizontal bending force exerted on the top edges 19, 20, 22 and 23 of the side panels 14 and 15. Also, the reinforcing panels 61 and 62 may be folded and secured such as by adhesive to the underside of sections 41 and 26 respectively to strengthen the upper and lower shelves 11 and 13.
Two spaced arcuate scored lines 63 and 64 may be formed on the horizontal fold line 43 such that two upstanding arcuate abutments 65 and 66 are formed at the front edge of the lower shelf 13 when the display stand 10 is in the set up condition. These abutments serve to prevent items on the lower shelf 13 from falling over the front edge therein.
An alternative embodiment of the display stand of the present invention is shown in Figures 5 to 8. In these embodiment, the reinforcing sections 57, 58, 59, and 60 have a generally trapezoidal shape with foldable generally L-shaped outer extensions 67, 68, 69, and 70 as best shown in Figure 7.
