Modular display unit and system for fabrication

Abstract

A modular display unit. The modular display unit includes a core shelving element or elements and a variety of end caps. To achieve a desired shelving configuration desired end caps are selected, and the core shelving units are attached to the end caps. In alternative examples a customer may go on line and order a custom made shelving unit by specifying a configuration, cut-out design, graphic design, and surface finish. The modular display units are easily shipped as flat sheets that may be assembled by the end user. The products are eco-friendly, and may be easily recycled as they are made of paper fiber products.

         2 . The display fixture device of  claim 1 , wherein the outer top and inner top are coupled together by their faces. 
     
     
         3 . The display fixture of  claim 2 , wherein the outer bottom and inner bottom are coupled together by their faces. 
     
     
         4 . The display fixture of  claim 1 , wherein one or more edges of the main body are cut into a curve. 
     
     
         5 . The display fixture of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more stand slot tabs and one or more shelf slot tabs are tapered. 
     
     
         6 . The display fixture of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more stand slot tabs and one or more stand slot apertures are substantially the same width and couple together frictionally. 
     
     
         7 . The display fixture of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more shelf slot tabs and one or more shelf slot apertures are substantially the same width and couple together frictionally. 
     
     
         8 . The display fixture of  claim 1 , further comprising a second main body substantially similar to the main body and configured to couple to the top and bottom parallel to the main body. 
     
     
         9 . The display fixture of  claim 1 , wherein the top is has one or more additional stand slot apertures configured to receive a plurality of additional main bodies. 
     
     
         10 . The display fixture of  claim 9 , wherein the bottom has one or more additional stand slot apertures configured to receive a plurality of additional main bodies. 
     
     
         11 . The display fixture of  claim 9 , further comprising a second bottom substantially identical to the bottom. 
     
     
         12 . The display fixture of  claim 4 , wherein the divisions of the walls are formed by scoring the main body perpendicular to the top and bottom edges. 
     
     
         13 . The display fixture of  claim 12 , wherein the main body folds parallel to the divisions to create a column with a curved opening. 
     
     
         14 . The display fixture of  claim 1 , wherein the fixture is comprised of a fiber-based material. 
     
     
         15 . The display fixture of  claim 1 , wherein the shelf slot tabs are greater in height than the shelf slot apertures are in depth and emerge on an outer side of the walls. 
     
     
         16 . The display fixture of  claim 1 , wherein the fixture is comprised of a corrugated material. 
     
     
         17 . The display fixture of  claim 1 , wherein the shelf slot apertures are positioned on the walls such that the one or more shelves are parallel to the top and bottom when the shelf slot tabs are inserted into them. 
     
     
         18 . The display fixture of  claim 1 , wherein the corrugated material has a thickness of at least one-eighth of an inch. 
     
     
         19 . The display fixture of  claim 1 , wherein the fixture is comprised of a recyclable material. 
     
     
         20 . A display fixture device comprising:
 a substantially flat and rectangular main body with a top edge, a bottom edge and two side edges divided into four sections with one or more shelf slots in each section wherein the one or more shelf slots are parallel to the top edge, one or more stand tabs on the top edge and bottom edge of each section, and the side edges are cut into curves;   one or more substantially flat and rectangular shelves with four sides with four edges and one or more shelf tabs that correspond to the one or more shelf slots along each of the four edges;   a top comprised of a substantially flat and rectangular outer layer and a substantially flat and rectangular inner layer wherein the inner layer has one or more stand apertures on its surface configured to receive a stand tap;   a bottom comprised of a substantially flat and rectangular outer layer and a substantially flat and rectangular inner layer wherein the inner layer has one or more stand apertures on its surface configured to receive a stand tap.
