ABSTRACT:
A retail display with bowls for holding and displaying weighty small parts such as steel bolts, nuts, screwdriver bits, drill bits and the like, having a base portion and an upright portion holding the bowls. The upright portion is resiliently cantilevered to the base portion such that it flexes downwardly toward the base portion under applied weight. The bowls are supported in the upright portion in such location that they gently touch or almost touch each vertically adjacent bowl, and the bottom bowl gently or almost touches the base. When a load is applied, particularly when the bowls are filled with weighty products to be displayed, the upright portion flexes downwardly until the vertically aligned bowls firmly touch each other and the bottom bowl firmly touches the base, thereby providing strong support for the weighted bowls.
