This invention relates to certain novelv provements in display stands, and hasfor its principal object the provision of an improved construction of this character which willbe highly eiicient in use and economical'in man( ufacture It is an object'of this invention toV provide an yimproved article displayfstand Von which articles may be advantageously'displayed to the view of, andbe readily seen by, aprospective purchaser.

.acture, simple to set up and collapse, and

conveniently and economically transportable. A further object ofthe invention'isto provide animproved display standparticularly adapted to display advantageouslyto rospective purchasers, bread or other. baw ery products and which may besetup. on` any suitable support such, for example, as a show case or kother `support that may be available in. al grocery or like. store. s

`Another object of the invention is to provide an improvedl article display sta-nd providing a well for the reception oa quantity of articles to be .displayed and 'so arranged that an additional supply .of articles may be stackedand Adisplayed upon those in theV well Without falling or tumbling out of the stack. Other objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention consists in the novelcombination and arrangement yof 'parts to bey hereinafter .described andclaimed.

The Yinvention will be. best vunderstood yby reference to the `accompanying drawing showing the preferred form of construction, and inwhich: Y I

5 Referringtothe drawing, which illustrates a, preferred and practical embodiment of Y invention, 1Q indicates 'generall` a section 0r blank of suitable material whic" may be, Afor example, `ibrous,. such as paperboard, and

whichprovidesa frame for the diSPlay stand.

This

frameffinclu'des side wallsA

11 and 12,

rear wall 13, and fa 'front wall 14, theedges 15y and 16V ofthe blank being joined by a. conventional securing elementl7,rFig. 4.. The

old'lines in the blank 10 are shown by dotted lines in Fig. 5, and by referenceto this figure it will be seen that there areprovided aap 18 that is bent downinside .the sidewall 1.1, Va similar flap` 1,9 bent down inside the Wall 12,. -and a flap 2O that is bentdown insidethe yfront wa1l14, the

flaps

18, 19 and 20 reen- `forcing the side walls`11 and 12and' front Wallll.` .l Y

The invention includes a supporting tray,

`generally, indicated at 21 and shown' in blank in Fig. 6, wherein thefdotted linesfrepresent -the 4fold lines alongwhich'thefblank 21 =folded toform. the tray which is then inserted into the frame.` The blank 2l includes Y a portionl 22 which, `whenthe blankis inserted into the frame, provides a. back or panel that restsat an vobtuse angle `against the rear welll?) of the frame. AThe panel 22 is integral with an article supporting or tray23 that terminates forwardly oftherear walll. and providesthe supporting base or trayproperr onwhich articles may be adver-I tisedv or displayed for sale, or other purpose. flntegral with the base 22', isa pairfofside wings 24' andz25 Whichare fitted within, re-v `spectively,the reenforcing flaps 19 and 18.

y Onthe wing 24 anpear 26 that islbent up Ainside the wing `24, and preferably secured thereto by adhesive or other suitable means. VA similar ear27.is integral with the Wing 25 y and this ear is bent up inside the flap; 25 and is preferably .securedto thejiap 27-fby an adyhesiveor other suitable connectingy means.

portion 32 that In use, therefore, the bottom edges 28 of the

wings

24 and 25, the bottom edges 29 of the

ears

26 and 27, and the bottom edges 30 of the

side walls

11 and 12 will be flush with each other and will rest upon the surface that supports the display stand, whereupon the

ears

26 and 27 will reenforce the base 23 which carries the articles being displayed.

A backing 31 is preferably secured to the panel 22 by meansV of an adhesive or other suitable means. When loaves of bread or like articles are displayed on the base 23 the loaves will, by reason of the slope of the base toward the panel 22, abut the latter whereupon the backing 31 will reenforce the panel against being bent by the articles, such as loaves of bread, restingthereagainst.

` To collapse the stand for convenience in packing and transporting the insert member or tray 10 may be removed from the frame and the latter collapsed on

fold lines

32, 33 and 34, so that the

side walls

11 and 12, rear wall 13,-front wall 14, and flaps 18, 19 and 2O all lie in a common plane and substantially parallel to each other, with the flaps disposed with the side and end walls.` Thereupon the tray 21 may be collapsed by folding the panel 22 over portion 23 and on fold line 35, and then folding the wings 24: and 25 over onto the panel 22, along

fold lines

37 and 36, to form a flat collapsed tray that may then be placed upon the collapsed frame to provide a fiat package that may be readily and economically packed snugly or'in quantities, onesuperimposed upon the other, and transported.

Articles, such, for example, as loaves of bread resting on the base 23 will be inclined by the latter at about a right angle to the prospective purchasers line of vision and may therefore be readily seen. The well 39 formed by the side and end walls and the base may be filled with the articles and an additional supply of articles Ythen stacked upon those in thewell, the articles above the well being inclined back against the panel and being thus prevented from falling-off the base or tumbling out of a. stack of articles which would happen if the base-23 were horizontal.

' While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying well for the reception of a quantity of articles to be displayed and supported by said member, said member including a base inclined at an angle to the horizontal and downwardly toward the rear of the frame.

2. An article display stand comprising a frame, an article supporting member within the frame and providing therewith a well for the reception of a quantity of articles to be displayed and supported by said member, said member including a base inclined at an angle to the horizontal and downwardly toward the rear of the frame, and a panel at the rear of the base' against which the articles supported by the base are inclined by the latter.

3. An article display stand comprising a box-like frame having an open top, an article supporting base within the frame inclined at an angle from the front of the frame downwardly toward the rear thereof, and a panel at the-rear of the base inclined at an angle from the latter and resting against the rear wall of the frame.

'4. An article display stand comprising a box-like frame, having an open top, a member removably inserted within the frame and including an article supporting base inclined at an angle from the front of the frame downwardly toward the rear thereof, a panel integral with the base at the rear thereof, inclined at an angle from the base and resting against the frame, and said member including portions to support the base within the frame.

5. An article display stand comprising a box-like frame formed from a single blank of material and having an open top, a member removably inserted within the frame, formed from a single blank of material, including an article supporting base inclined at an angle from the front of the frame downwardly toward the rear thereof, and said member including a panel at the rear of the base, inclined therefrom and resting against the rear wall of the frame.
