Display fixture

Abstract

A display fixture is disclosed which has a rectangular metal front frame, a pair of side walls, a brace interconnecting the side walls at the rear, and a series of drawers fitted into the front frame. The drawers are supported solely from roller brackets attached to the front frame in such a manner that the drawers are cantilevered from the brackets in both the open and closed position of the drawers. The drawers each comprise a rectangular frame of extruded elements into which are fitted bottom, side, front and rear wall boards.
