Abstract: An improved, knock-down, multiple-level, article storage and display rack may be assembled using article storage and shipping containers and dowel rod spacers. The containers, which preferably are molded plastic trays, each have a rectangular base and three retaining walls, one of which is a front wall. A display panel is angled forward from the container's front wall so that the bottom of the display panel and the bottom of the front wall cooperate to provide front, horizontal, support. A simple stand constructed to provide a pair of upright columns that fit into bottom-opening recesses in the two side walls, cooperate to provide a rear suppport for the display. Column-like dowels that fit into upper and lower recesses in the retaining walls of respective lower and upper trays are used to assemble the vertically disposed display rack.

Abstract: A new storage and dispenser rack is provided for quasi-cylindrical containers such as bottles, wherein the ends of the containers are of different dimension but with a belly portion of the container being substantially of the same size and shape as the large end of the container. The rack is made of molded plastic parts that are constructed and designed to snap together. The rack includes a pair of upright panels that define a bay and provide thereon tiers of tracks, each for supporting one end of the quasi-cylindrical containers. A plurality of transverse spacer shafts that connect with the pair of panels operate to provide a free-standing structural grid for the rack. The spacer shafts are of an axial length selected for the size of the containers to be supported on the rack.
