ABSTRACT:
A display rack in which articles are disposed in rows parallel one to the other, each row on an upper shelf being disposed in the same vertical longitudinal plane as an underneath row on a lower shelf. In preferred form, the display rack's upper shelf is comprised of a plurality of separably operable floor frames, each floor frame being structured to serve only one row of articles. The floor frame for each of the upper shelf's rows is comprised of a right hand support section and a left hand support section, each support section being separably pivotable on a pivot axis disposed parallel to the row's vertical longitudinal plane, and the pivot axes being disposed on opposite sides of that longitudinal plane. Each row floor frame is movable between a use position in which the support sections thereof are oriented to support one or more articles in that upper row, thereby preventing the articles in the underneath row from being removed vertically out of the display rack, and a storage position in which the support sections are removed when no article is in the upper row, thereby allowing the articles in the underneath row to be lifted vertically out of the display rack. The right and left hand support sections of each row floor frame are spring loaded, the weight of at least one article on both frame sections maintaining the frame in the use attitude, and the removal of all articles from the row floor frame permitting those sections to pivot into the storage attitude.
