Abstract

A display rack supported by a primary rack is disclosed. The display rack may include an I-beam connector for connecting the display rack to the bottom of an I-beam of the primary rack. Alternatively, the display rack may include an extension which has holes for receiving fasteners that are used to secure the display rack 10 to a primary rack. The display rack includes an end plate secured to a distal end of a center support. The center support has a connector at its proximal end for connection to the primary rack. A lateral support element is connected to the center support and the end plate. The lateral support element preferably includes right and left side portions and a transverse portion. The transverse portion extends parallel to the end plate while right and left side portions are parallel to one another to provide lateral support for strips of material retained in the display rack.
