Claim 8

A display stand as described by claim 5, including: a sleeve affixed to the side of the sleeve of the third leg; a fourth of the plurality of arms having a substantially normal end journaled in the affixed sleeve so that said arm is arcuately displaceable and another substantially normal end for supporting a fifth eccentrically rotatable tray at a level other than the levels of the trays supported by the first, second and third arms and the third leg.

Claim 9

A display stand comprising: a centrally disposed bracket; the bracket extends substantially vertically and includes first, second and third legs; a plurality of arms extending radially from the bracket; the arms are substantially horizontal; means associated with the bracket for supporting the arms so that the arms are arcuately displaceAble; the first and second legs supporting arcuately displaceable arms; a plurality of trays; means associated with each of the trays for supporting a tray on an arm; the trays supported on said arms are supported at different levels; the third leg has an end extending above the first and second legs and supports a tray at a level other than the levels of the trays supported by said arms; and means arranged with the arms for supporting the stand.

Claim 10

A display stand comprising: a centrally disposed bracket; the bracket extends substantially vertically and includes first, second and third legs; a plurality of arms extending radially from the bracket; the arms are substantially horizontal; means associated with the bracket for supporting the arms so that the arms are arcuately displaceAble; the first and second legs supporting arcuately displaceable arms; a plurality of trays; means associated with each of the trays for supporting a tray on an arm; the trays supported on said arms are supported at different levels; the third leg has an end extending above the first and second legs and supports a tray at a level other than the levels of the trays supported by said arms; and means arranged with the arms for supporting the stand.

Claim 11

A display stand as described by claim 4, including: a clip secured to the third leg and having a centrally disposed sleeve which surrounds said leg and at least first and second sleeves adjacent the centrally disposed sleeve; a third arm of the plurality of arms having a substantially normal end journaled in the first sleeve so that said arm is arcuately displaceable and another substantially normal end for supporting a fourth eccentrically rotatable tray at still another level; and a fourth arm of the plurality of arms having a substantially normal end journaled in the second sleeve so that said arm is arcuately displaceable and another substantially normal end for supporting a fifth eccentrically rotatable tray at a level different than the other levels.

Claim 12

A display stand as described by claim 8, wherein: the sleeves at the ends of the first and second legs and the first and second sleeves have open bottom ends; and the ends of the first, second, third and fourth arms which are journaled in the sleeves are journaled in the open bottom ends.
