The housing may also support external lighting units which in use illuminate the surrounding display unit.
Preferably, the housing is substantially in the form of an open fronted hollow' cube.
Description of the DrawinQs
The invention will be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: * Fig. 1 is an isometric view of a display unit module according to the present invention, Fig. 2 is a rear view of the housing of the display unit Fig. 3 is exploded view of a display unit module according to the present invention, * Fig 4. shows an alternative front frame, and Figs. 5 & 6 show alternative display stands for use within the housing.
Detailed Description of the Invention
With reference to Figs I to 3, there is shown a display unit module 10 which in use may form part of a display unit assembly of the type described in the applicant's co-pending application 0912794.5 in which display shelves are mounted to pairs of vertical wall mountings as is described in document GB-A- 2450912. The module 10 comprises a open fronted carcass or housing 12 Jvhich is substantially in the form of a hollow cube having a rear wall 13 with verticl * rear edges having prongs 11 thereon which engage apertures in wall mountings to hold the module in a chosen position in a display unit.
