Abstract
A display stand includes a central column of a tubular configuration that assumes an upright orientation in a use condition of the display stand and includes number of vertically spaced slot rows each including a plurality of discrete, circumferentially distributed slots, and a corresponding number of support elements of shelf-like configurations separate from the central column. The support elements include respective mounting portions that extend through the slots of the respectively associated ones of the slot rows into the interior of the tubular central column. The support elements extend substantially horizontally in the use condition. When the central column is rectangular, both the slots and the mounting portions extend across the corners of the columns. The mounting portions may be lobate and neighboring ones of them may jointly extend into the associated slots in an overlapping relationship with respect to one another.
