Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
234 words
A collapsible product supporting display comprising: an elongated rectangular sheet of paper board including: a first region, extending from a first end of said sheet having a first crease across a width enabling said first region to be folded into a double thickness configuration; a second crease parallel to said first crease and terminating said first region and at a distance from said first crease substantially equal to the distance between said first crease and said first end of said sheet and enabling a reverse fold to that provided by said first crease; a second region of said sheet extending from said termination of said first region to the opposite or second end of said sheet, and third, fourth, fifth and sixth creases, spaced, in that order, extending from and parallel to said second crease, in said second region, and adapted to form said second region into a basically triangular configuration base with first region as a vertical display portion and the bottom portion of said first region vertically bisecting at least a portion of the interior of the triangular configuration so formed; and clamping means for clamping a bottom portion of said folded double-thickness of said first region between two sections of said second region, one said section extending between said second crease and said third crease and the other section extending between said sixth crease and said second end of said sheet.

A collapsible product supporting display comprising: an elongated rectangular sheet of paper board including: a first region, extending from a first end of said sheet having a first crease across a width enabling said first region to be folded into a double thickness configuration; a second crease parallel to said first crease and terminating said first region and at a distance from said first crease substantially equal to the distance between said first crease and said first end of said sheet and enabling a reverse fold to that provided by said first crease; a second region of said sheet extending from said termination of said first region to the opposite or second end of said sheet, and third, fourth, fifth and sixth creases, spaced, in that order, extending from and parallel to said second crease, in said second region, and adapted to form said second region into a basically triangular configuration base with first region as a vertical display portion and the bottom portion of said first region vertically bisecting at least a portion of the interior of the triangular configuration so formed; and clamping means for clamping a bottom portion of said folded double-thickness of said first region between two sections of said second region, one said section extending between said second crease and said third crease and the other section extending between said sixth crease and said second end of said sheet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
189 words
A collapsible product supporting display as set forth in claim 1 wherein said clamping means comprises: a first pair of oppositely positioned, inwardly extending slots in the sides of said first region near, but spaced from, said second crease, and a second pair of inwardly extending, oppositely positioned, slots in the sides of said first region near, but spaced from, said first end of said sheet; third and fourth pairs of oppositely positioned, inwardly extending, notches in said second region, said third pair of notches being positioned a like distance from said termination of said first region to that of the distance from said second end of said sheet to said fourth pair of notches; and first and second locking means, said first locking means being adapted to be positioned in and hold all said notches on one side of said sheet together and said second locking means being adapted to fit into and hold together all of said notches on the opposite side of said sheet together, whereby said first region of said display is positioned and supported vertically by said triangular configuration base of said second region.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
57 words
A collapsible product supporting display as set forth in claim 1 wherein the region between said third crease and said fourth crease and region between said fifth crease and said sixth crease constitute the sides of said triangular configuration base and the region between said fourth crease and said fifth crease constitute the bottom of said base.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
A collapsible product supporting display as set forth in claim 3 wherein the area between creases constituting said bottom of said base is greater than the area between creases constituting either of the sides of said triangular configuration base.
Claim 6

89 words
A collapsible product supporting display as set forth in claim 1 further comprising at least one product rack comprising an elongated wire member having a U-shaped indentation in the center adapted to clamp over a top of said folded first region of said sheet and having turned up end regions, whereby said rack is readily positioned and held on the top portion of said folded first region and products suspended from said rack are generally retained to prevent accidentally falling off by said raised end portions of said rack.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
63 words
A collapsible product supporting display as set forth in claim 1 wherein: said sheet of paper board comprises a corrugated board having opposite outer surface layers and inner honeycomb region, all glued together; all of said creases are on the same side of said sheet; and said second crease comprises a cut, through one outer layer and the honeycomb region, of said sheet.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
27 words
A collapsible product supporting display as set forth in claim 6 wherein the corrugations of the paper board run perpendicular to the said creases in said sheet.
