Abstract: A merchandise display assembly comprising a frame of posts and struts defining recesses for groups of mens' shirts, by sizes, each recess having a pair of display racks on an extendable slide. The display racks have hinged wickets comprising elongated, channel-shaped trays, with downturned end tabs pivoted to the sidewalls of bases of the racks, and upright supports formed by rods at each end bent to form front and rear legs for supporting the shirts. The front leg has a forward closed-loop bend at its upper end and the rear leg has a laterally offset V-shaped return for rear support, and an integral bend between the legs is clamped against the open end tab of the tray by a rivot which also forms the pivot. An individual rack also shown is for countertop use.

Abstract: An improved merchandise display structure of the type having upright posts and transverse connecting struts, each post having longitudinal series of mounting slots in the bottoms of grooves formed in the sides of the posts to receive hanger brackets and other display accessories as well as panels that can be supported in the grooves in the posts and the struts. The preferred post construction is formed by two identical one-piece strips of lightweight sheet metal that are of generally V-shaped cross-sectional shape, each forming two grooved sides of a square post. The opposite longitudinal edges of each strip are formed as a channel-shaped bend and a tongue for interfitting with the channel-shaped bend of the other strip when turned end-for-end, and are secured together in a stitching operation. Each V-shaped strip has a channel-shaped corner bend simulating a tongue-and-groove joint for symmetry and extra strength.
