Modular display rack

Abstract

A modular display system has a support base and a vertical post mounted on the support base. The post is formed with threaded bores. A plurality of bars, including short spacer bars for hanging display bins and hang bars for hanging clothes hangers, for example, are screwed into the post and they project radially from the post. Each of the bars has two threaded stems, one to screwed into the post, and the other one to be covered by a threaded puck. The display bins have corresponding bores aligned with the bores in the post and adapted to receive the threaded stems of the short spacer bars to reach through and for the puck to bolt the display bins to the spacer bars.

1 . A modular display system, comprising: 
 a support base;    a post mounted on and extending substantially vertically from said support base;    said post having a plurality of attachment locations defined thereon;    a plurality of bars including a relatively long hang bar and a relatively short spacer bar each formed for attachment at a respective one of said attachment locations and radially projecting therefrom; and    at least one bin to be mounted to said post via one of said bars.    
   
   
       2 . The modular display system according to  claim 1 , wherein said post is formed with a threaded bore at each of said attachment location and each of said bars having a threaded stem formed thereon for screwing into a respective said threaded bore of said post.  
   
   
       3 . The modular display system according to  claim 1 , wherein said post is rotatably and substantially centrally mounted on said support base.  
   
   
       4 . The modular display system according to  claim 1 , wherein said attachment locations are defined vertically below one another along a plurality of lines substantially parallel to an axis of said post.  
   
   
       5 . The modular display system according to  claim 1 , which further comprises a plurality of roller supports on a bottom of said support base.  
   
   
       6 . The modular display system according to  claim 2 , wherein said spacer bars include a relatively longer, first spacer bar and a relatively shorter, second spacer bar, and said bin is mounted to said post via a plurality of vertically aligned said first or second spacer bars, and said threaded bores are formed in said post at a spacing corresponding to a spacing between bores formed in said at least one bin.  
   
   
       7 . The modular display system according to  claim 6 , wherein said bin has a given width with a value substantially equal to a sum of a diameter of said post plus two times a length of said first spacer bar.  
   
   
       8 . The modular display system according to  claim 1 , wherein said bin is a multilevel bin formed with at least two floors for supporting merchandise or advertising material thereon.  
   
   
       9 . The modular display system according to  claim 1 , wherein said bin is formed with an inclined backwall and an inclined floor, for enabling printed matter and packaged product to be stacked in a nearly vertical, slightly inclined position.  
   
   
       10 . The modular display system according to  claim 1 , wherein each of said bars has a first threaded stem formed on a first longitudinal end thereof configured for screwing into a respective threaded bore formed in said post, and a second threaded stem formed on a second longitudinal end thereof configured for receiving thereon a threaded nut.  
   
   
       11 . The modular display system according to  claim 10 , wherein said threaded nut is a threaded puck, defined with a disk body having a threaded blind bore formed therein.  
   
   
       12 . A modular display system, comprising: 
 a support base;    a vertical post mounted on said support base and having a plurality of threaded bores formed therein;    a plurality of threaded bars selected from the group consisting of a relatively long hang bar, a relatively shorter, first spacer bar, and a relatively shortest, second spacer bar, each of said threaded bars having a first threaded portion configured for selectively screwing into said threaded bores of said post, and a second threaded portion;    at least one bin to be mounted to said post via one of said threaded bars; and    a plurality of threaded pucks configured to be screwed onto said second threaded portion.
