Abstract
An erectable display stand includes a generally planar back panel, a generally planar shelf for supporting objects, and at least one generally planar supporting wall. The shelf and the supporting wall are connected to the back panel for movement relative thereto between their collapsed positions in which they extend in substantial parallelism with one another and with the back panel in close proximity of the latter, and an erected position in which they extend substantially normal to the back panel and parallel to each other in large-area surface-to-surface contact with one another for the supporting wall to support the shelf from below when the stand is in use. The supporting wall may have a rearward extension that transfers the area of ground contact to behind the stand proper, so that the latter may assume a rearwardly tilted attitude when in use.
