Abstract
A merchanidse display system is provided which includes a plurality of wire frame members, each of which has an opening or cavity for receiving and holding goods which are to be displayed. The frames are supported on two types of base members: one for displaying goods horizontally (flat bases) and one for displaying goods on an angle (angled bases). The display system is assembled by connecting frame members to base members, and by then connecting adjacent frame members to one another to produce a unitized overall display for the goods. In certain preferred embodiments, the connection between adjacent frame members is made by means of handles formed as part of the frame members and, in particular, by the top portions of such handles. To allow frames carried by angled bases to be connected to frames carried by flat bases, the top portions of the handles on, for example, frames used with flat bases are angled so that when assembled on a flat base, the top portion of the handle lies in the same plane as the top portions of handles on frames assembled on angled bases.
