Multi-position wire display rack

Claim 2

A multi-position wire display rack comprising an upright, wire support frame having a back and opposite sides, at least one package-supporting wire shelf having inturned hook means on a back edge thereof pivotally engaged with the back of the support frame, a plurality of spaced apart, depending shelf supporting protrusions on each of the opposite sides of the shelf, an inwardly extending projection on each of the support frame sides, said protrusions selectively engageable with said projections on the support frame sides to selectively support the shelf in either a horizontal position or in either of two angularly inclined adjusted positions on the support frame.

Claim 3

A multi-position wire display rack as in claim 1, wherein the back of the support frame comprises a plurality of generally parallel elongate horizontally extending wire members and some of said wire members are greater in length then the remaining wire members, the sides of said support frame comprise a plurality of generally parallel vertically extending wire members and the longer wire members in the back of the frame have hook like formations at their opposite ends pivotally engaged with the vertical wire members of the frame sides, whereby the frame sides are pivotally connected with the back and are foldable to a collapsed position for storage and shipment.

Claim 4

A multi-position wire display rack as in claim 1, wherein the back of the support frame includes a plurality of generally parallel elongate horizontally disposed wire members, and the sides of the frame include a plurality of elongate generally parallel vertically disposed wire members with the sides pivotally connected to the back of the frame and said shelf comprises a plurality of elongate, substantially parallel wire members turned upwardly at a front edge portion of the shelf and with a paiR of said wire members at opposite side edges of the shelf being joined by a closed loop-shaped hook portion which is pivotally engaged with one of said horizontal wire members of the back of the frame for pivotally supporting the shelf to the frame back.

Claim 5

A multi-position wire display rack as in claim 3, wherein each shelf has a pair of protrusions on opposite sides thereof and a plurality of vertically aligned inwardly extending projections are on the support frame sides in position for receiving the protrusions on the sides of the shelf whereby one of the protrusions is received in the projection in two adjusted positions of the shelf, and the other of the protrusions is received in the projection in a third adjusted position of the shelf.

Claim 6

A multi-position wire display rack as in claim 1, wherein said protrusions include a first downturned protrusion and an immediately adjacent second downturned protrusion, said first protrusion comprising a downturned loop having spaced legs of substantially equal length, and the second protrusion having a relatively long leg and a relatively short leg, said first protrusion engageable in a first projection when said shelf is supported either horizontally or in a first inclined position, and said second protrusion engageable in a second, lower projection when said shelf is supported in a second inclined position at a greater angle of inclination than said first inclined position.
