BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the present invention, the display rack is formed of a pair of similar U-shaped members having the base portions pivotally secured to the legs of a third U-shaped member so that the base portion may be pivoted to its supporting position from a flat collapsed position and a T-shaped member may be slidably positioned on the upper horizontal legs of the base member in display position and packages of merchandise may be supported on the upper horizontal legs of the base member and the base of the T-shaped member.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the wire rack in assembled position;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the base portion of the rack in collapsed position;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the base portion in supporting position and the T-shaped member in position to be assembled to the base portion;
FIG. 4 is a side view of the base portion in supporting position;
FIG. 5 is a rear view of the rack in assembled position; and
FIG- 6 is a top plan view of the rack in assembled position.
DESCRIPTION OF I THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT As shown in FIG. 1, the assembled rack includes a base portion consisting of a pair of U-shaped members generally indicated at 10 of similar shape, each of the U-shaped members consisting of a base portion 12 and a pair of lower legs 14 and upper legs 16. A third U- shaped member, generally indicated at 11, consists of a base portion 18 and a pair of legs 20, the legs 20 of the third U-shaped portion being pivotally secured to each of the base portions 12 of the pair of U-shaped memconsists of a cross member 24 and a base member 26, the top of the base member 26 being welded to and midwa of e cross member 24. The cross m b 24 has a pziir o t rearwardly extending extensions heet metal couplings, generally indicated at 29, have an arcuate portion which frictionally engages the extensions 28 and the couplings 29 have a bore 30 (see FIG. 3).
' When it is desired to assemble the knock-down wire display rack, the legs 14 and 16 of the base portion 10 are swung outwardly from the position as shown in FIG. 2 to that shown in FIG. 3 and the T-shaped member 13 takes a position as shown in FIG. 3 and the upper legs 16 are positioned in the bores 30 of the coupling members 29 and the T-shaped member 13 is urged to the right, as shown in FIG. 3, to assume the position shown in FIG. 1. If desired, plastic tips 32 may be slipped over the ends of the extending wires, such as 14, 16 and 26. As shown in FIG. 1, the rack is supported on any suitable surface, such as a store displayvcounter by the legs 14 and the various parts of the rack are rigidly secured together. Packages of merchandise, such as bags, cards having blister packages thereon and the like, have apertures adjacent their top portions so that the packages and the like may be threaded onto the horizontally extending members 16 and 26 (all of which lie in substantially the same horizontal plane) for display purposes.
The rack, when in its collapsed unassembled condition, may have the T-shaped member 13 positioned adjacent the base member 11 and shipped in a flat condition in a suitable envelope.
