Abstract
The present invention relates to a unique mobile outdoor display cabinet which can be utilized, for example, to store and display automotive replacement parts at service stations. The display cabinet includes an open ended container adapted to contain a supply of the goods to be displayed, and a cover pivotally attached to the container for closing the open end of the container. The cover is counterweighted to stabilize and maintain the cover in either a closed position or an open position. The container includes a stop surface for limiting the pivotal movement of the cover in one direction to define the open position. In accordance with the present invention, the cover is provided with a panel section which, when the cover is in the open position, is spaced above and extends over the open end of the container to shelter the open end and protect the interior of the container. The display cabinet of the present invention includes additional features which are directed to increasing the overall weather resistance of the cabinet and providing superior protection for the goods contained therein.
