Claim 5

The display case of claim 1 wherein said coupling apertures have downwardly converging side edges.

Claim 6

The display case of claim 1 wherein said rod has grooves formed therein proximate the outer ends of said rod, said grooves engaging peripheral edges of coupling apertures.

Claim 7

The display case of claim 1 wherein said rear coupling means comprises a coupling flap projecting inwardly and upwardly from said rear section, said shelf having a slot formed therein engaged by said coupling flap.

Claim 8

The display case oF claim 1 wherein each of said side sections includes at least one vertical cross piece extending from one of said side section walls to the other wall thereof and disposed between said side section front and rear edges.

Claim 9

A display case comprising transversely spaced vertically extending hollow side sections having spaced inner and outer walls, each of said side sections including a least one vertical rib extending from one of said side section walls to the other wall thereof and disposed between said side section front and rear edges, said side sections being one piece and having their ends bent to form no less than three transverse flaps, two of said flaps being joined to each other and at least one being joined to the inner surface of said outer wall, whereby said vertical interior rib is formed, a rear section extending between and secured to the rear borders of said side sections, said side section inner walls having horizontally transversely aligned coupling apertures formed therein, a transversely extending shelf located between said side sections and having a conduit extending along the front edge thereof, a support rod extending through said conduit and having opposite ends engaging said coupling apertures, and means coupling the rear of said shelf to said rear section.

Claim 10

A display case comprising transversely spaced vertically extending hollow side sections having spaced inner and outer walls, each of said side sections including a least one vertical rib extending from one of said side section walls to the other wall thereof and disposed between said side section front and rear edges, said side sections being one piece and having their ends bent to form no less than three transverse flaps, two of said flaps being joined to each other and at least one being joined to the inner surface of said outer wall, whereby said vertical interior rib is formed, a rear section extending between and secured to the rear borders of said side sections, said side section inner walls having horizontally transversely aligned coupling apertures formed therein, a transversely extending shelf located between said side sections and having a conduit extending along the front edge thereof, a support rod extending through said conduit and having opposite ends engaging said coupling apertures, and means coupling the rear of said shelf to said rear section.

Claim 11
