The pole is joined to a base support. Each of the V-shaped shelf supports is identical. Each V-shaped shelf support defines edges for supporting the shelves and contains hooks for joining the shelf support to the pole. Several variations of hooks are described. The shelf supports can be used independently of the display stand to support multiple tiers of shelves.

Abstract: An injection molded, foam plastic, knock-down display stand. The display stand is formed from two major components. A V-shaped longitudinal member supports the shelves. The shelf supports have a number of open ended parallel slots. Joining two shelf supports together forms an X-shaped, free-standing shelf support column. Each shelf has an X-shaped opening to receive the shelf support column. Rotating the shelf through the slots joins the shelf to the shelf support column. Integral camming surfaces on the shelves lock the shelves and the shelf supports together to form a substantially erect display stand.

Abstract: A plastic conduit for protecting and directing electrical and telephone cables, employing elongated barrel portions with lipped ends and a snap-on coupling collar. Partition walls intergral with the conduit walls are used to divide the internal passageway of the conduit section. The partition walls are contoured at each end to interlock with the ends of adjacent conduit sections to provide column-like support. Gasketed ends seal the joint between the conduit section and coupling collar. Flanged ends index the coupling collar and limit axial movement and deflection. Interrupted peripheral lips and an interrupted annulus within the coupling collar provide for differential flaring out of the collar ends and corresponding necking-in of the conduit ends as the two are telescoped together. The lipped edges are received within the annulus of the coupling collar and snap fit into position. The snap fitting lips lock the conduit section to the coupling collar.
