  • Patent number: 7571821
    Abstract: A display rack having a support frame and at least one tray for holding and displaying product. Each tray attaches at its rear to the support frame by way of at least one moveable suspension arm and at least two possible tray-to-frame buttress points (or stops) for every suspension arm. The at least two tray-to-frame buttress points act together as a dual-position stop, which dual-position stop is capable of maintaining the tray in two different orientations with respect to the support frame. In a preferred embodiment, each tray has two L-shaped, pivoting suspension arms, where a portion of each suspension arm is horizontal and passes through a receiving channel in the support frame.
