Definitions

• 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
• 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

• the rear panel 17 is a generally rectangular panel having the same height as the top edges of the two side panels 14 and 15.
• a generally rectangular upper extension 24 extends upwards from the upper edge 25 of the rear panel 17.
• the upper extension 24 is wider than the rear panel 17 and it is foldable relative to the rear panel 17 along the upper edge 25, and it consists of a first section 26, a second section 27, a third section 28 and an upper end section 19.
• the second section 27 is foldable relative to the first section 26 along horizontal fold line.
• the third section 28 is foldable relative to the second section 27 along horizontal fold line 31, and the upper end section 29 is foldable relative to the third section 28 along horizontal fold line 32.
• Two vertical open end slots 33 and 34 are formed at the upper edge 35 of the upper end section 29. The distance between the open end slots 33 and 34 is equal to the width of the rear panel 17.
• the third section 39 is foldable relative to the second section 38 along horizontal fold line 45.
• the fourth section 40 is foldable relative to the third section 39 along horizontal fold line 46.
• the fifth section 41 is foldable relative to the fourth section 40 along horizontal fold line 47, and the upper free end sixth section 42 is foldable relative to the fifth section 41 along horizontal fold line 48.
• Two vertical slots 49A and 50A are formed at the horizontal line 45 between the third section 38 and the fourth section 39.
• the distance between the vertical slots 49A and 50A is equal to the width of the front panel 16
• two open end slots 49B and 50B are formed at the upper edge of the upper free end section 42.
• the distance between the open end slots 49 and 50 is equal to the width of the front panel 16.
• a vertical mounting strip 56 is formed on the side of the rear panel 17.

• the partially assembled stand may be folded into a collapsed condition as shown in Figure 4 by pushing the side panels 14 and 15 outwards such that they fold along the vertical fold lines 54 and 55. In this collapsed condition, the front panel 14 will abut the rear panel 17 to provide a flat assembly which is convenient for transportation and storage.
• the front panel 16 is pulled away from the rear panel 17 so as to form the rectangular basic support frame.
• the various sections of the upper extension portion 36 of the front panel 16 is then folded as best shown in Figure 3 such that the slot openings 49 A and 5OA between the first section 37 and second section 38 become two open end slots.
• Upper extension portion 36 is flipped upwards until the third section 39 abuts the middle sections of both side panels 14 and 15; at this point, the first section 37 is pushed downwards to engage the open slots 49A and 50A with the lower top edges 18 and 21 of the side panels to latch the first section 37 securely in the horizontal position resting on the lower top edges 18 and 21 to form the lower shelf 13.
• 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
