Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a display stand of the type commonly found in department stores which has two general forms known as wall cases and gondolas. This type of display stand has a base or platform having a height of about 6 or 8 inches from the floor. The base customarily has a base nose which has the general form of a longitudinally extending, rounded off protrusion extending from the upper portion of the base. Beneath or behind the base nose is a kick plate which, in conjunction with the base nose, forms a toe space. The invention is directed to a construction or arrangement in which it is optional for the kick plate to be installed in one way so as to be supported by the floor or in another way so as to be supported by base arms which in effect form the structural frame for the base.
