Patent number: 4976360Abstract: A display stand assembly in which the main shelves have side rims provided with rectangular collars at opposite ends thereof. Vertical side members comprising top and bottom cross beams having channel-shaped top receivers and channel-shaped bottom inserts cooperate with the main shelves. The top receivers fit frictionally and snugly into the collars of a shelf rim thereabove and bottom inserts fit snugly into the receivers of a side member therebelow, whereby a pair of side members cooperate with the collar of the shelf to provide three-wall support for the shelf therebetween. The bottom cross beams cooperate with longitudinal recesses in the shelf rim to further stabilize the assembly. Extension end shelves are provided which are frictionally attachable to the main shelf side rims for increased merchandise support area. There are floor support feet which have a similar channel-shaped receiver insertable into a collar of the bottommost shelf of the assembly.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 1990Date of Patent: December 11, 1990Assignee: RTC Industries, Inc.Inventors: Armand S.
