  • Patent number: 4871218
    Abstract: A collapsible storage and display device includes a plurality of horizontally stacked bins cooperatively connected by forwardly extending side flanges to provide limited vertical sliding movement between each pair of adjacent bins. The forwardmost bin is anchored to a base. Lifting the rearwardmost bin relative to the base successively causes each bin to rise a predetermined distance and then lift the forwardly adjacent bin until the plurality of bins forms a horizontally stacked, stair-step display position. Pivoting support members are positioned to hold the device in the display position. A transport cover surrounds and protects the device and provides a means for carrying the device.
