ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for displaying merchandise adjacent a display structure is disclosed. The apparatus includes a frame and an attachment mechanism for securing the frame to the display structure so that the frame is rotatable about a vertical axis, thereby providing access to the display structure. The frame includes a pair of nonparallel panels having a shared edge. The interior panel surfaces preferably form an interior angle between 90 and 180 degrees. The interior surfaces are suitable for displaying merchandise adjacent thereto. The attachment mechanism includes first and second brackets for connecting the frame to the display structure, a downward hook for securing the second bracket to the frame, and an adjustment mechanism for securing the first bracket to the frame at a plurality of positions, to thereby permit adjustment of the spacing between the first and second brackets. The adjustment mechanism includes a loop formed of a portion of the shared edge and an outer edge. The first bracket includes a shelf plate for attaching the bracket to a portion of the display structure, a friction clip extending from the shelf plate, and an insert plate positionable at a plurality of positions along the length of the outer edge. The insert plate is slidably insertable into the friction clip such that a section of the outer edge is captured between the insert plate and the friction clip thereby securing the frame to the first bracket. The second bracket includes a shelf plate for attaching the bracket to a portion of the display structure, and a support clip into which the downward hook is positionable. The second bracket supports the frame relative to the display structure. The extent of the adjustability in the spacing between the first and second bracket corresponds to the length of the outer edge.
