Stackables

Abstract

The present invention relates generally to a stackable series of holders of different sizes and shapes. More particularly it relates to a holder with integral riser in the center and a universal stacking support between each level of holder primarily for floral applications.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A stackable holder comprising:
 a riser with a top side, a bottom end and side walls where said riser side walls taper outward and downward from said top side connecting,   a display platform on said top side that has a security rib around the perimeter of said display platform to,   a display holder on said bottom end, where said riser has an opening on said bottom end large enough to allow nesting of stackable holder risers into adjacent risers, minimizing required space for storage and shipping.   
     
     
         2 . The stackable holder as in  claim 1 , where said risers with holders are chosen from a group of holders that have a common riser shape and size but where said holders are chosen from a group that includes different sizes of different shapes such as round, half-round, oval, square, triangular, and rectangular. 
     
     
         3 . The stackable holder as in  claim 1  where said risers are chosen from round or square shapes. 
     
     
         4 . The stackable holder as in  claim 1 , where said risers with holders are fabricated from clear or opaque materials. 
     
     
         5 . A stackable holder assembly comprising:
 risers with top sides and bottom ends and side walls where said riser side walls taper outward and downward from said top sides connecting,   display platforms on said top sides that have a security rib around the perimeters of said display platforms to,   display holders on said bottom ends, where said risers have openings on said bottom ends large enough to allow nesting of said risers into adjacent risers, whereby required space for storage and shipping is minimized, further comprising:   universal stacking supports placed over said risers, where said universal stacking supports have top lips that extend radially inward and that rest on said display platform security ribs and bottom lips that extend radially outward where, when said universal stacking supports are placed over said tops of said first risers, and when   second risers with holders are placed over said first stacking supports, said bottom surfaces of said second risers with holders rests on said first stacking support's lower lip and   additional stacking supports and risers with holders are placed until desired height of display is attained.   
     
     
         6 . The stackable holder assembly as in  claim 5 , where said risers with holders are chosen from a group of holders that have a common riser shape and size but where said holders are chosen from a group that includes different sizes of different shapes such as round, half-round, oval, square, triangular and rectangular. 
     
     
         7 . The stackable holder assembly as in  claim 5  where said risers are chosen from round or square shapes. 
     
     
         8 . The stackable holder assembly as in  claim 5 , where said risers with holders are fabricated from clear or opaque materials. 
     
     
         9 . The stackable holder assembly as in  claim 5 , where said stacking supports are of different heights whereby variation in height between holders is obtained.
