Abstract
In a sheet metal merchandising display stand, a base shelf is converted from a horizontal bottle support to a tilted package support merely by reversing its position. Two reinforcing channels are secured to the underside of the shelf and extend from one side to the other. These reinforcing channels have web sections both of which are located in a plane forming a 3.5 degree angle with the article-supporting surface. The web sections rest on flanges which project inwardly from the side panels of a base assembly and are located in a plane which is 3.5 degrees from the horizontal. In one position of the shelf, the two angles add together to produce a shelf angle of seven degrees. In the other position the angles subtract to produce a shelf angle of zero degrees. A strong, light-weight tiltable shelf is provided which can be adjusted in the fore-and-aft direction.
