Abstract: Shelves in a collapsible shelving structure are foldable about respective fold lines extending widthwise of respective shelves to load-bearing states.

Abstract: A mobile support platform is mounted as a unit on, and is removed as a unit from, a display stand for supporting articles. The platform includes a generally planar, support panel sandwiched between a pair of generally planar, base panels of the stand. A pair of side lifts on the support panel elevates the base panels above a floor to enable access to a power-operated prong of a forklift. A pair of side wheel assemblies on the support panel enable the stand to be manually pushed and rolled from place to place.

Abstract: Merchandise is suspended from support rods reliably held against tipping by support columns of folded sheet material. Each column has opposite corners formed with holes through which the rods extend. Flaps within the columns have additional holes for supporting the rods. Facing panels overlie and screen the columns. The panels and the columns rest on a base. The assembly comprises a display stand especially suitable for supporting bulky and/or heavy merchandise.

Abstract: A display stand includes a plurality of panels which are supportably held in an erect condition by a plurality of rear support sections which are retained in a deployed condition by a pair of locking flaps which are secured in a locked condition. The stand is self-standing and resistant to tipping and overturning.

Abstract: Locking panels are employed to prevent the collapse of a merchandise display of the type having two sets of end closure flaps that arrange themselves into common closures in an erect condition of the display. Each locking panel overlies a respective closure and engages opposite walls of the display.

Abstract: A display arrangement device for displaying information about items being offered to the public includes a generally box-shaped main body, and at least one formation secured to and extending along one of the top, bottom, and side portions of the main body. This formation includes a front wall having a front surface carrying information to be brought to the attention of the observer, and a bracing wall connected to the main body at a back wall and extending therefrom to the front wall to hold the front wall, in a deployed condition of the formation, in substantial parallelism with a vertical plane to present the information to the observer's view. The bracing wall includes two sections and a hinge portion connecting the two sections to one another for folding into juxtaposition with one another in response to the application of external collapsing forces. A shipping container that holds the main body in its entirety has a wall that confines the collapsed formation between itself and the main body.

Abstract: A display rack has flat-bottomed compartments for holding stacks of generally planar, sheet material items in a manner which prevents lower ends of the items from being squeezed when the items are inserted or removed from the compartments. The rack has a back wall, two side walls, a top wall and a bottom wall that bound an upright space. A plurality of supports are secured to the back wall and support a plurality of partitioning walls, one above another, along a vertical direction in mutual parallelism along an angle of inclination. Each support has a first mounting element having an upper base surface that directly engages and supports all the lower ends of the items, and a second mounting element connected to a respective partitioning wall.

Abstract: A display stand includes a main body of a sleeve-shaped configuration including a first main portion, a second main portion, a pair of foldable side portions pivotably interconnecting the first and second main portions, a first auxiliary portion pivotably connected to the first main portion and extending across at least a part of the open upper end of the tubular formation in the erect condition, and a second auxiliary portion pivotably connecting the first auxiliary portion and depending down from the first auxiliary portion in the erect condition. At least one elastic element is connected to and extends between the lower end of the second main portion and the second auxiliary portion. This element acts directly on the second auxiliary portion and only through the same on the other portions.

Abstract: A display stand for displaying at least two types of food items includes a lower and an upper display component, each for accommodating a plurality of soft-packaged items, and a tray component for receiving a plurality of hard-packaged items. Each lower and upper component has an opening through which the soft-packaged items are visible and removable. The tray component is located between the upper and lower components and has a front opening through which the hard-packaged items are visible and removable. The tray component has an extension projecting beyond the general outline of the display stand as defined by the peripheries of the lower and upper components.

Abstract: A snack package assembly includes a package having top and bottom walls as considered in a position of use thereof, and a plurality of circumferentially adjacent main panels interconnecting the top and bottom walls. A plurality of edge portions includes a substantially horizontally extending bottom edge portion for delimiting at least one opening in at least one of the main panels for providing access to the interior of the package. At least one flap section is connected to the one main panel along the bottom edge portion and extends into the interior of the package in a substantially horizontal position as considered in the use position to subdivide the interior into an upper and a lower compartment. At least one substantially rigid container containing an edible flowable substance is accommodated in the lower compartment and supports the flap section from below to form a supporting platform.

Abstract: A display tray is formed by folding from an originally sheet-shaped body along respective weakened portions that subdivide the body into a plurality of central and lateral zones arranged in respective central and lateral columns and in respective rows corresponding to front, bottom, rear and intermediate regions of the tray as considered in a final condition of use of the tray. At least one sector is formed in two adjacent ones of the front, bottom and rear central zones that are interconnected by one of the weakened portions and extend substantially at right angles in the finished tray. The sector extends across the one weakened zone, being subdivided by it into two sector portions and is dissociated from each of the two central zones, but its portions remain connected to the respective ones of the two central zones for pivoting relative to them by respective auxiliary weakened portions.
