chandise to be displayed thereon. In like manner, the front panel includes a plate 26 secured in place to cover the front wheels andprovide an area for advertising material.
A shelf 27 detachably connected to the upper back section 21. A panel 29 for carrying advertising is mounted on the top of the back section 21.
In FIG. 2 the 'display unit of FIG. 1 is shown with the plates 22, 24 and 25 removed to expose the framework of the unit. The framework for the base, front panel and rear extension includes two square side members 30, square cross members 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36 extending between the side members 30, square upright side members 37 extending downwardly from the front ends of the side members, and a lower cross member 39 extending between the lower ends of the uprights 37. The side members 30 are straight where they form part of the base and their rearward portions are bent to provide a section 40 extending downwardly from the base at an angle and a section 41 which extends rearwardly parallel to the surface of the base.
Each of the wheels 14 are secured to the framework by a pair of bent square members 42 welded at one end to the cross member 32 and at the other end to the cross member 39. The wheels 14 are positioned between a pair of the members 42 and the axles of the wheels are secured thereto. The castered wheels 16 are mounted to the cross member 35.
The construction of the back will now be described with reference to FIGS. 2-6. The lower back section 20 includes two upright square side members 44 welded to the side members 30, two inwardly facing channel members 45 which provide a track in which the upper back member rides, and three cross bracing bars 46 welded to the forward edge of the channel members 45.
The reinforcing members 17 have a bent portion 47 adjacent their upper end to space the handle 19 from the rear side of the lower back portion 20. The lower end of the members 17 are welded to the ends-of the sections 41 of the side frame members 30 and the bent portions 47 of the members 17 are welded to the rear face of the side members 44.
The framework of the upper portion 21 of the back i 11 comprises inwardly facing side members 49, a downwardly facing upper channel member 50, and an upwardly facing lower channel member 51.
The channel members 49 are each provided with a series slots 52 in their forwardly facing surface for re- I ceiving the shelf 27.
The shelf 27 includes two supporting arms 54. each formed with a horizontal top flange 55, and a plate 56 screwed to the flanges 55. The base end of the arms 54 are formed with a hook 57 adapted to be passed through the slots 52 in the members 49 and moved downwardly to engage the front wall of the channel members 49 asshown in FIG. 5. The edges of the plate 56 are bent down at right angles around the edges thereof to form a peripheral edge 59.
With reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, a block 60 is welded within each of the side channel members 49. The block is bored and threaded to receive a horizontal bolt 61 and the side wall of the channel members 49 is provided with a hole 62 to allow the bolt 61 to engage the channel member 45 of the lower back portion 20. The upper portion 21 of the back is moved vertically within the channels 45 to the desired position and the bolts 61 are then screwed through the blocks 60 into tight engagement with the channel 45 to lock the upper back portion in position.
The embodiment of FIG. 1 is particularly adapted for use where it is desired to load the display stand with individual boxes of merchandise. The plates 22, 24 and 25 provide firm support for the boxes. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the plate 25 extends into the channel frame members and is positioned against the inside surface of the front walls thereof. Asshown in FIG. 8, the stand can be loaded with such individual boxes and a tube of shrink film material can be brought down over the loaded stand to floor level. The entire unit can then .be subjected to heat to cause the film to shrink and surface of the back sothat the handle can be gripped to move the display while the film is in place. When the display is delivered to the store, the film is removed to allow customers to remove the merchandise. Alternatively, the merchandise and the standcan be wrapped with any type of plastic or with paper or the like, and straps passed around, the unit over the wrapping to lock the merchandise and the stand into a single unit.
The'incline of the base with respect to the horizontal and the corresponding rearward slope of the back 11 provides an easel like configuration which cradles the merchandise to hold it securely in position.-
The inclination of the base and back is particularly important in displaying low density-packages such as boxes of soda. crackers which tend to be displaced (when stacked on horizontal surfaces) by the vibrations normally present in stores. The orientation of the base and back of the stand also tilts the faces of the packages upwardly to provide a more convenient viewing angle for the customer. While it is preferred that the base and back be inclined to the horizontal and vertical respectively at an angle of about seven degrees, this angle could be increased up to about nine degrees without materially reducing the efficiency of the unit.
The display unit can be .used singly against a wall or at the end of an aisle against the end walls of the shelf units. Two or more units can be placed side by side to form an uninterrupted large display by virtue of the fact that the wheels are positioned completely within the perimeter of the base. Two units can also be placed back to back at the end of an aisle to act as an extension of the shelf units.
In FIGS. 9, l0 and 11 there is shown another embodiment of the present invention wherein a section of wire mesh 64 is substituted for the plate 25 and framework of the lower back section 20, and the base 10 are not covered. In this embodiment, the front panel 26 may be employed for advertising purposes. This embodiment is designed for use with boxed merchandise packed in shallow cardboard trays and shrink film wrapped for delivery. The display stand can be loaded in a warehouse or the like with trays after which the unit is overwrapped and strapped for shipment. At the store the stands may be quickly reloaded with trays which are delivered to the store wrapped in shrink film. The use of the wire mesh section 64 on the upper back section 21 has the advantage of allowing the operator straight ahead visibility through the mesh while he is wheeling the stand to the display location. It will be seen from the foregoing description that the present invention provides a wheeled display stand which accomplishes all of the objects stated hereinbefore.
