Definitions

  • This invention relates to a pedestal mountable to the front surface of a display stand for supporting a merchandise display case placed on the stand as well as providing stability for the stand in supporting the display case and more particularly to a pedestal for a display stand having a front panel slanted rearward.
  • the pedestal may be mounted detachably or undetachably to the stand selectively.
  • Display stands particularly cardboard display stands are commonly used for supporting a merchandise case or tray mounted to their front panel.
  • the stand usually has a front panel slanted rearward at the top to provide stability in supporting the weight of the merchandise.
  • a rectangular casing is integrally formed at the base of the front panel of the stand not only to increase its stability but also to provide a pedestal for supporting a merchandise display case placed on or mounted to the stand. Due to the complexity of the construction of the integral stabilizer and pedestal, the stand is difficult to fabricate and it is unwieldy and awkward to erect.
  • Some display stands provide a separate rectangular weight supporting box placed in front of its base for supporting the merchandise tray located on the box and leaning on the front panel of the stand.
  • the box may or may not be attached to the stand.
  • Such arrangement is problematic since the weight of the merchandise in the display case would tend to push the stand and rectangular supporting box to separate from one another thus rendering the stand unstable.
  • the supporting box requires a large amount of cardboard and a larger stamping die to fabricate.
  • supporting boxes of various heights must be provided to support the merchandise display case to locate at various heights on the front panel of the display stand.

  • a merchandise case 10 is placed on top of a separate rectangular supporting box 11 located in front of the base of the front panel 12 of a display stand 13.
  • the construction is unstable and may cause the merchandise case 10 to fall from the stand.
  • a foldable support pedestal 14 may be mounted to the base portion of the front panel 15 of a display stand 16.
  • a display stand having a side sectional triangular shape is shown as an example. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the pedestal 14 may be mounted to any vertical display stand such as a single planar board display stand supported by an easel, or a display stand having two display panels sloping in a divergent manner from top to bottom, for the same purposes.
  • the support pedestal 14 may be constructed by stamping a pattern 17, as best shown in Figure 5, on a sheet material such as cardboard or corrugated material.
  • the pattern 17 consists of a central panel 18 having two side panels 19 and 20 which are foldable relative to the central panel 18 along vertical fold lines 21 and 22 respectively.
  • Two mounting hooks 23 and 24 are formed at the outer edges 25 and 26 of the side panels 19 and 20 respectively.
  • the mounting hooks 23 and 24 may be in the form of a reverse L shape and have a vertical downward extending arm portions 27 and 28 respectively.
  • a generally rectangular panel 29 is located above the central panel 18 and it is foldable relative to the central panel along horizontal fold line.
  • a mounting tab 31 is formed at the top free edge 32 of the rectangular panel 29.
  • the pedestal may be mounted to a display stand having two vertical mounting slot openings 33 and 34 formed adjacent to its side edges 35 and 36.
  • the mounting slot openings 33 and 34 are sized to receive the mounting hooks 23 and 24 of the support pedestal 14 respectively, and they are located at the same height from the bottom edge of the front panel 15 as the height of the mounting hooks 23 and 24 from the bottom edge of the side panels 19 and 20 respectively.
  • a horizontal mounting slot opening 37 is formed in the front panel 15 of the display stand 16. The horizontal mounting slot opening 37 is spaced from the bottom edge of the display stand as the height of the distance between the horizontal fold line 30 and the bottom edge of the central panel 18 of the support pedestal 14.
  • the support pedestal 14 may be readily mounted to the front panel 15 of the display stand 16 by folding its side panels 19 and 20 rearwards to locate parallel to the vertical side edges of the display stand 16 and then slidably inserting the mounting hooks 23 and 24 into the vertical mounting slot openings 33 and 34 respectively of the display stand such that the extension arm portions 27 and 28 will latch with the lower edge portion of the mounting slot openings 33 and 34 respectively as best shown in Figure 6 to maintain the support pedestal 14 securely mounted to the front panel 15 of the display stand 16.
  • the rectangular panel 29 may then be folded rearwardly downwards to the horizontal position so that the mounting tab 31 will engage with the horizontal mounting slot opening 37 of the front panel 15 of the display stand for maintaining the rectangular panel 29 is a mounted position perpendicular to the front panel 15 so as to provide the required platform or pedestal top for supporting a merchandise display case placed onto the display stand 16 as shown in Figure 2.
  • the merchandise display case may additionally be mounted to the display stand 16 with mounting hooks (not shown) slidably mounted between the top edge of the display stand and slots formed at the rear panel of the merchandise display case.
  • the support pedestal 14 once mounted forms an integral part of the display stand 16, which provides a platform for supporting the merchandise display case with the merchandise located therein. It also increases the stability of the display stand against tipping forward due to the increased dimensions or footprint of the base of the display stand..
  • Two vertical foldable lines 38 and 39 may be formed at the middle of the side panels 19 and 20 respectively such that the side panels 19 and 20 may flex inward or outward to provide additional support to increase further the stability of the display stand.
  • the support pedestal 14 may be detached from the display stand 16 in the reverse order by first disengaging the mounting tab 31 and then disengaging the mounting hooks 23 and 24 from the vertical mounting slot openings 33 and 34 of the display stand.
  • the support pedestal 14 may also be folded to a collapsed condition along the vertical foldable lines 38 and 39 together with the display stand 16 folded to a collapsed condition to form a totally collapsed composite body which may be erected by simply unfolding the display stand and the pedestal in the reverse order.
  • the collapsed display stand and support pedestal composite body facilitate convenient transportation and storage with the merchandise display case.
  • the extension arm portions 27 and 28 of the mounting hooks 23 and 24 of the support pedestal 14 may be folded to lie juxtaposed to the main body of the mounting hooks 23 and 24 respectively prior to being inserted into the vertical mounting slot openings 33 and 34 of the display stand 16. In so doing, after the mounting hooks 23 and 24 have been inserted into the mounting slot openings 33 and 34 the extension arm portions 27 and 28 will unfold inherently from the mounting hooks 23 and 24 respectively due to the characteristic of the cardboard or corrugated board material so as to form latches for permanently and securely mounting the pedestal 14 to the display stand 16.
  • the mounting hooks 23 and 24 has a butterfly or T shape having extension arm portions 27A and 27B, and 28A and 28B respectively as shown.
  • the mounting openings 33 and 34 formed on the front panel 15 of the display stand are longer than that of the embodiment described above such that the T shape mounting hooks 23 and 24 may engage with the mounting openings 33 and 34 slidably by slidably inserting the top extension arm portions 27A and 28 A into the mounting openings 33 and 34 first and then pushing the mounting hooks 23 and 24 upwards to insert the lower extension arm portions 27B and 28B into the mounting openings until the lower edge of the mounting hooks 23 and 24 rest on the lower edge of the mounting openings 33 and 34 while the upper extension arm portions 27A and 28A will latch against the upper edge portion of the mounting openings 33 and 34 respectively to retain the pedestal 14 securely mounted in place to the front panel of the display stand.
  • the butterfly shape mounting hooks 23 and 24 prevent the pedestal from accidentally disengaging from the mounted position.
  • the extension arm portions 27 A, 27B, 28 A and 28B may be folded against the main body of the mounting hooks 23 and 24 similar to that in the previous embodiment prior to being inserted into the mounting openings 33 and 34 such that they would inherently turn to a crosswise position across the mounting openings 33 and 34 after insertion to retain the pedestal 14 permanently mounted to the display stand 16.
