Technical Field
[0001] The invention concerns a foldable display stand serving to present merchandise for
sale.
Background Art
[0002] Based on the P-369047 patent description, one may be familiarized with a display
rack which consists of a one-element load-bearing slab, which upon bending along the
vertical bending lines creates a body with a back surface and sides. The sides of
the back surface are fastened lastingly and allowing them to swing along the back
edge of the shelf. The internal side surfaces of the body are fastened, on the height
of the front edges of the shelves, retaining the elements, whereas the front edges,
on their respectable sides, retaining clips are fastened and affix the shelf. The
bending of the load-bearing slab along horizontal bending lines, after straightening
them to vertical bending lines, does not extend the stand to large dimensions in the
form ready for transportation.
Summary of invention
[0003] In accordance with the invention, a foldable display stand is equipped with a body
made from a one-element cutout from cardboard plate which has two vertical bending
lines situated within the same distance from the vertical edges of the body.
[0004] Alternatively, the body folds with a back cardboard plate and its side vertical lines
may be fastened allowing them to swing in the range from minus 180 to plus 180 degrees.
Side walls may alternatively be fastened to the back side with the use of fasteners.
[0005] Cardboard shelves are lastingly fastened on the internal side of the back of the
body, each one along the back horizontal edge allowing them to swing in the range
of 180 degrees.
[0006] Alternatively, to the internal wall of the body, with the use of fasteners shelves
are fastened perpendicularly and separately.
[0007] The side walls of the shelves are affixed to the internal side walls of the body
perpendicularly and separately, each wall at least with one fastener.
[0008] Alternatively, the display stand may be equipped with a plinth which is fastened
swingingly to the front edge of the lowest shelf and to the side walls of the stand,
from their respectable inner sides with the use of fasteners.
[0009] Alternatively, the display stand may equipped with a plinth which is fastened to
the side walls of the stand, from their inner side, with the use of fasteners.
[0010] Every fastener consists of a retaining element situated on the inner side of the
bodyand an engaging element fastened by the external edge of the shelf.
[0011] The retaining element contains an oblong cubicoid element equipped with a flat collar
around an oblong base and contains an additional wall on the opposite side to the
base that builds a longitudinal pocket, with the excision in the middle of the additional
wall. The collar is fastened inside the wall of the stand's body.
[0012] Alternatively, the flat collar is equipped with holes which make the connection of
the fasteners easier and stronger.
[0013] In an alternative way of assembly, the retaining element contains an oblong cubicoid
element and an additional wall on the opposite side of the base that builds a longitudinal
pocket, with an excision in the middle of the additional wall. In the base surface,
from the side of one longer edge and both shorter ones, there is a plate for assembly
inside the wall of the stand's body.
[0014] Alternatively, a plate for assembly is equipped with holes which make the connection
of the fasteners easier and stronger.
[0015] The retaining clip contains a flat plate which has a similar size to the oblong retaining
element. On the height of the excision in the additional wall of the retaining element,
the structural element contains an oblong retaining clip outlet. On the surface of
the retaining clip's plate, from its upper side, the plate for assembly is situated
in the wall of the element attached to the stand, for instance to a shelf. there are
oblong outlets along the engaging outlet between the assembly plate and the retaining
clip element's plate; the retaining clip element's plate location is located the retaining
element.
[0016] Alternatively, a plate for assembly is equipped with holes of the element attached
to the stand, for instance to a shelf.

[0019] Alternatively, the body consists of the back cardboard wall
3 and vertical edges along its side walls
4 are fastened swingingly in the range of 360 grades.
[0020] The folded stillage constitutes a back side, side walls are in perpendicular position
(plus 90 degrees 'forward') in the relation to the back side.
[0021] On the back side of the body, from its inner side, cardboard shelves are mounted
permanently
5, each along the back horizontal edge
6 fastened swingingly in the range up to 180 degrees.
[0022] The shelves
5 are fastened perpendicularly and separately to the inner side walls of the body
4, each shelf with at least one fastener
7.
[0023] Every fastener consists of a retaining element
8 situated on the inner side of the body
4 and an engaging element
9 fastened by the external side edge of the shelf.
[0024] The retaining element contains an oblong cubicoid element
10 equipped with a mounting flat collar
11 on the side of the oblong base, and contains an additional wall
12 on the opposite side of the base creating a longitudinal groove, with an excision
13 in the middle of the additional wall. The collar is mounted inside the body of the
stillage.
