Abstract
A knock-down newspaper rack includes side and rear walls defined by a sheet of metal which is bent along two vertical corners. The side and rear walls include horizontal flanges along their lower ends, the flanges extending inwardly and resting upon ground support legs. A front unit includes a frame and a door swingably mounted on the frame. The frame includes a pair of vertical rearwardly open channels which receive front vertical edges of the side walls. Those front edges are bent to create a firm frictional lock within the channels. A cover is positioned atop the housing and front unit. The cover includes a front edge formed as a rearwardly open channel to receive a forwardly extending horizontal upper edge of the frame to lock the cover to the front unit. Upper edges of the side and rear walls are bent inwardly, and the cover includes downwardly depending flanges which fit over, the outside faces of those upper edges to lie in frictional engagement with the side and rear walls.
