Abstract

A display rack for supporting and displaying articles, includes a plurality of elongate channels, each channel being of integral, one-piece, unitary construction formed in a single plastic molding operation. Each channel defines a pair of laterally spaced upstanding sidewalls, a substantially planar track connecting the sidewalls at the bottoms thereof, and a front member spaced above the track and connecting the sidewalls. The bottom of the front member, the front of the track, and the front of the sidewalls cooperatively define an aperture through which a substantial portion of a lead article in the channel may be viewed. The channels are secured in side-by-side, longitudinally parallel and transversely adjacent relationship. Preferably, the front of the track is devoid of any transversely extending upstanding lip or wall.
