Abstract
The display rack includes a plurality of separate and distinct longitudinally elongate channels. Each channel has a front, a track and a pair of laterally spaced, longitudinally extending sides. Additionally, each channel has on one side thereof a plurality of widely longitudinally spaced apart male engaging means (lugs) projecting laterally outwardly from the channel side; and, for each one of the male engaging means, the other channel side has an associated set of at least three relatively narrowly longitudinally spaced apart female engaging means (slots). The associated slot sets are widely longitudinally spaced apart, and each female engaging means of the associated slot sets is configured and dimensioned to receive one of the male engaging means. The male and female engaging means are configured and dimensioned to releasably retain an adjacent pair of the channels in a side-by-side, longitudinally parallel relationship in a common horizontal plane, with the fronts of the adjacent pair of channels in horizontal alignment or horizontal non-alignment depending on which female engaging means of the associated sets the male engaging means are disposed in.
