Abstract:

The knock down corrugated board floor display illustrated in FIG. 2 with shelves and side walls pivotally secured to a rear wall, and side wall attached ropes supporting the shelves in the display erected position. Corner panels on the side walls pivot partially inward upon collapse of the display and the balance of the side walls pivot fully to lie parallel to rear wall, sandwiching the shelves and ropes between side walls and rear wall, the corner panels becoming the sides of the reasonably flat box-like structure into which the display collapses. The display is formed from relatively thin corrugated board panels, which panels are doubled over in creation of side walls and shelves for esthetic and structural purposes, with reinforcement pieces of corrugated board being sandwiched inside the doubled over panels wherever structural reinforcement is desirable.
