  • Patent number: 4068855
    Abstract: A merchandising display gondola for floor mounting has been provided with an upright frame and at least one forwardly extending bottom support frame that has a lower, floor hugging, horizontal positioning. A pair of caster wheels are carried by a front end portion of the bottom frame, and a rounded, cross-extending, floor-engaging, tubular glide member is positioned adjacent a back end of the support frame. The glide member with the front casters positions the structure in a stable, supported position on the floor and enables an easy, manual gliding type of movement of the structure, when loaded or unloaded, from one position to another. The gondola is constructed of hollow, rounded tubular members of metal or reinforced plastic material for strength and weight saving purposes, and is provided with at least one pegboard panel, whereby numerous types of shelf, hook, article-carrying or positioning elements may be used.
