Abstract
An adjustable tilt construction for a display rack. The rear wall of the rack is provided with one or more T slots, each slot receiving one of the two parallel flanges of a respective leg, the latter generally H shaped in transverse cross section over at least a portion of its length. One flange of each leg is shorter than the other, and is asymmetrically located with respect to it so as to yield two different distances from the ends of the shorter flange to respective ends of the longer flange. This leg configuration permits three different leg heights by inserting each leg into a respective slot in three different ways. In turn, this permits three different tilt angles for the display rack. The leg and slot configuration may also be used on a table to provide height adjustment, the legs and slots operating in the same manner as in the display rack.
