Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for producing one-piece, three-dimensional shaped bodies, shaped bodies produced according to the method, and a device for carrying out the method. The aim is to simplify the production of one-piece, three-dimensional shaped bodies which can be easily produced. To these ends, the disclosure provides that a plate which is resistant to bending at room temperature is heated only in heating regions along deformation lines, especially bending lines, and is subsequently deformed freely in space, i.e. without the use of a stop edge, indentation, template or die, whereby the attained three-dimensional shape is permanently preserved after cooling during which the material blank is kept.

Abstract: A device for displaying flat and flexible objects. The device displays flat and flexible objects and is specially suitable for modular display systems, e.g. display racks or display consoles. Flat and specially non-rigid display goods are held upright, and can be reliably inserted and withdrawn. The bottom, the rear wall and the sidewalls are configured as a single-pieced plastic injection molded part. At least one of the sidewalls is flexibly configured at least in one of its segments as a clamp holding the inserted objects in an upright position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a modular column display system specially suitable for thin objects used to exhibit goods or pamphlets, and to adapter elements and angular adapters for merchandise boxes. The invention discloses a display system with multiple individual adjustment possibilities and whose modules are easy and economical to produce. To this end, the invention provides an adapter element (4) for a column display system (1) and angular adapters for merchandise boxes (7). The angular adapters for merchandise boxes (7) used in display systems comprise a stand segment (18) engaging in an adapter element (4) or in a supporting structure and a supporting segment (19) to fix a merchandise box, wherein the stand segment (18) has a rigidly configured hook-shaped retaining clamp (20) and at least one flexibly configured locking clamp (11).

Abstract: This invention relates to a merchandise presentation system of modular design, consisting substantially of a vertically upright central support pole (1) which has regularly arranged openings (2), configured for example as undercut lengthwise grooves, as well as of merchandise carriers (3) that can be mounted on the support pole (1), the merchandise carriers (3) having mounting means (4), corresponding to the openings (2), by means of which they can be mounted on the support pole (1) at the positions defined by the openings (2), characterized in that the openings (2) and the mounting means (4) corresponding thereto are arranged and configured in such a way that the individual merchandise carriers (3) can be mounted with the mounting means (4) laterally on the support pole (1) into the openings (2), the individual merchandise carriers (3), which otherwise are of any dimensions and shape, not being configured as tray-like merchandise carrier enclosing the support pole (1) in their center.

Abstract: An arrangement for displaying flat bendable objects, especially sheet shaped record carriers comprises a horizontal bottom plate, at least two upwardly open elongated compartments for receiving of objects, two substantially vertical curved side walls extending so that they approach one another to define in the compartments two withdrawal openings located near one another at an outer edge of the bottom plate. The side walls have longitudinal portions which together form a one piece wall portion. The side walls also have rear extensions which extend rearwardly of the wall portion and form inner side walls. The inner side walls are turnable about axes extending perpendicularly to the bottom plate and are spring loaded in direction toward the compartments.

Abstract: An article display stand, particularly for sheet-like data carriers, has a substantially horizontal bottom plate with an outer edge, and at least two pairs of substantially vertical lateral walls arranged on the bottom plate and forming at least two upwardly open elongated compartments for accommodating objects in an upright position and provided with object withdrawing openings in the region of the outer edge of the bottom plate, wherein the lateral walls of each of the compartments approach one another in direction toward the respective withdrawing openings, so that each of the compartments forms an angle in direction of its elongation, and the withdrawing openings of the two compartments are located near one another.

Abstract: An article display stand, has an elongated upright support with a plurality of recesses, and an article supporting element having a projection engageable in each of the recesses and including a substantially horizontal base plate arranged to support articles and a substantially upright hollow conical member connected with the base plate and fittable onto the support.

Abstract: An article display stand has an elongated upright support having a plurality of recesses which are spaced from one another in the direction of elongation of the support, and an article supporting element mountable on the support in any of a plurality of positions and having a projection which is detachably engageable with the recess of the support. When the projection of the article supporting element engages in the respective recess of the support, the article supporting element is fixed in a respective one of the positions. The recesses may be arranged in rows which are spaced from one another in the circumferential direction of the support, and the article supporting element may have several projections each engageable in the recesses of the respective row. The article supporting element may have a plurality of upright walls extending tangentially relative to a central opening through which the support extends and bounding a plurality of compartments.
