Display stand, method, and system

Abstract

A display stand has a base, sides, a display board, and plurality of frames able to support display panels. The frames are pivotally connected to the base and display board. The base has an angled front piece on which indicia is displayed; at least one height adjuster for adjusting the angle between the base and a surface on which it is placed; and a top piece having a plurality of apertures disposed across its surface. Two side supports ascend from the base and have pockets for providing objects. A display board is attached to the tops of the two side supports. Rectangular frames are pivotally attached to the base. Each frame has a bar within the frame, which forms two separate rectangular openings with a support for holding display panels on either side of the frame. A wedge prevents one display panel from abutting an adjacent display panel.

       4 . The stand of  claim 1 , wherein said base comprises 
 a top piece, said top piece comprising a plurality of apertures disposed across the surface of said top piece; and wherein    at least one of said frames further comprises: 
 a first pin integral to the frame and disposed in one of said apertures; and  
 a second pin integral to the frame and connected to said display board.  
   
   
   
       5 . The stand of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said side supports comprises a pocket for providing objects.  
   
   
       6 . The stand of  claim 1 , wherein one of said frames further comprises at least one display panel.  
   
   
       7 . The stand of  claim 6 , wherein: 
 said frame further comprises a wedge attached to said bar for keeping said display panel of said frame from abutting a display panel of an adjacent frame.    
   
   
       8 . The stand of  claim 1 , wherein said support is formed by grooves disposed on said bar.  
   
   
       9 . A method of displaying product information and samples, the method comprising: 
 providing a plurality of rectangular frames;    supporting two display panels in each side of each of said rectangular frames;    pivotally attaching said frames to a base; and    displaying information on at least one of said display panels.    
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein said information comprises product information or a product sample.  
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising the step of 
 displaying indicia on an angled front of said base.    
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising the step of 
 adjusting the angle between the base and a surface on which it sits by way of a height adjuster.    
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising the step of 
 displaying indicia on the front of a display board attached at the top of said plurality of frames.    
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising the step of 
 preventing two of said display panels from abutting each other.    
   
   
       15 . A system for displaying product information and samples, the system comprising: 
 a rectangular frame for displaying a product sample, and    means for supporting and standing said rectangular frame upright,    wherein said rectangular frame is pivotally attached to said means.    
   
   
       16 . The system of  claim 15 , further comprising 
 means for supporting a plurality of said rectangular frames.    
   
   
       17 . The system of  claim 15 , further comprising 
 means for displaying indicia above and below said frames.    
   
   
       18 . The system of  claim 15 , further comprising 
 means for adjusting the angle between the base and a surface on which it sits.    
   
   
       19 . The system of  claim 15 , further comprising 
 means for preventing two of said display panels from abutting each other.    
   
   
       20 . A stand for displaying product information and samples, the stand comprising: 
 a base comprising 
 an angled front piece on which indicia is displayed,  
 at least one height adjuster for adjusting the angle between the base and a surface on which it sits,  
 a top piece comprising a plurality of apertures disposed across the surface of said top piece, and  
 a back piece;  
   two side supports ascending from the base and comprising pockets for providing objects; 
 a display board attached at the tops of said two side supports and able to display indicia on a front side; and  
   a plurality of rectangular frames pivotally attached to said base, each of said frames comprising 
 a first pin integral to the frame and disposed in one of said plurality of apertures,  
 a washer disposed around said first pin and between said frame and said top piece of said base,  
 a second pin integral to the frame and connected to said display board,  
 a bar disposed within said frame and forming two separate rectangular openings,  
 a support for holding at least one display panel inside each of said rectangular openings, said support being formed by grooves disposed on said bar and within said frame, and  
 a triangular wedge attached to said bar for keeping two of said frames from abutting each other and for preventing two of said display panels from adjacent frames from abutting each other.
