  • Referring to FIG. 2, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a modular display rack 10 includes a frame 12 and a plurality of holding units 14. Each of the holding units 14 has a plurality of holding slots 16 for business cards or other items. The holding units 14 are advantageously prefabricated, for instance, as molded plastic units with integral slots 16.
  • Referring to FIG. 3, the frame 12 is formed of a plurality of frame elements, including first and second sidewalls 20, 22 and first and second holding unit support elements 24, 26 extending therebetween. The frame elements also include a rear wall 30 and a front wall 32. In the embodiment shown, the first and second holding unit support elements 24, 26 are arranged stepwise relative to each other.
  • The frame elements are preferably formed from wood or a composite wood product, fiberboard or the like. A veneer can be applied to the frame elements. In the embodiment shown, banding 36 is arranged on upper surfaces of the sidewalls 20, 22 and the rear and front walls 30, 32. The banding 36 has, for example, a metallic gold finish.
  • Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the holding unit support elements 24, 26 and the rear wall 30 are connected at respective ends to the first and second sidewalls 20, 22. Additionally, the first holding unit support element 24 is connected to the rear wall 30 and the second holding unit support element 26 is connected to the front wall 32. The frame elements 20-32 are connected by, for example, a plurality of cam lock elements 40, including cams and corresponding bolts.
  • To optimize the viewing angle for items in the holding slots 16 (see FIG. 2), with the frame 12 on a level surface 42, the holding unit support elements 24, 26 are connected so as to be non-parallel with the surface 42. The rear and front walls 30, 32 are arranged substantially perpendicular to their respective holding unit support elements 24, 26. The upper surfaces of sidewalls 20, 22 and rear and front walls 30, 32 define slots 44 to accommodate tabs 46 on the banding 36.
  • When assembling a modular display rack according to an aspect of the present invention, a minimum number holding slots is determined. For example, a business with ten business card carrying employees may want at least ten holding slots. A number of holding units is selected to supply at least the minimum number of slots. For instance, two six-slot holding units could be selected to supply twelve slots, two more than the minimum.
  • Frame elements are then selected that can be combined to accommodate the selected number of holding units. The frame elements are then assembled into the frame and the holding units are disposed therein. Advantageously, the frame can be assembled with cam lock, or other, connection elements not fully tightened. The holding units can be disposed within the frame and then the connection elements can be fully tightened with close engagement between frame elements and holding units maintaining the holding units in place due to friction, engagement of complementary surfaces, or the like.
  • It will be appreciated that the present invention is not necessarily limited to the above embodiment. Rather those skilled in the art will appreciate that numerous modifications, and adaptations for particular circumstances, are possible within the scope of the invention as herein shown and described.
  • For instance, the present invention is not necessarily limited to a particular size, design or number of holding units, or a particular material of construction thereof. Likewise, the present invention is not necessarily limited to a particular size, design or number frame elements, or a particular material of construction thereof. In fact, the present invention allows great flexibility in selecting a number, size or design of holding units to be used, with advantageously pre-fabricated frame elements being combinable to accommodate the holding units.
  • For example, referring to FIG. 6, according to another embodiment of the present invention, a modular display rack 110 includes a frame 112 and a plurality of holding units 114. In the modular display rack 100, the plurality of holding units are arranged side-by-side, so only a single holding unit support element is employed. It will be understood that that multiple holding support elements could be employed, allowing for a combination of side-by-side and stepwise placement of holding units.
  • Referring to FIG. 7, according to a further embodiment of the present invention, a modular display rack 210 includes a frame 212 and a plurality of holding units 214. The frame 212 includes sidewalls 220, 222 with holding unit support elements 224, 226 extending therebetween.
