ABSTRACT:
A display rack for displaying boxes, especially boxes containing a plurality of smaller product packages (such as mint packages), comprising a base and a stand having a plurality of openings. Swing arms with lock slots are adapted to extend from two opposing sides of the openings and engage with the product boxes being displayed. The swing arms are moveable inward and outward within a slot in the rack and are such that the arms may be either perpendicular to the vertical axis of the rack, when the arms are adjacent to the back of the rack, or tilted downward when the swing arms are distanced from the back of the rack. Consequently, the engaged product boxes may be located in a level position at the back of the rack (a position which is especially useful for loading, transport and storage) or they may be tipped in a downward position at the front of the rack to prominently display the product. The boxes are uniquely designed to include slots which accommodate the ends of the swing arms and thus hold the boxes in place in the rack and also allow for easy replacement of the boxes in the rack. In addition, a lock tab on the swing arms is engageable with openings in the boxes to removably lock the swing arms and the boxes together.
