AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0011]The present invention is a multi-shelved merchandising display made from corrugated cardboard or a similar lightweight board-like material. In its collapsed state it is substantially flat thereby minimizing the space needed for storage and ensuring easier transport. The apparatus is erected by simply pressing its exposed, transversely opposing corners towards one another, then longitudinally displacing a sliding panel to position and support attached shelves. An interlocking flap-style box closure may then be used to maintain the display in this open, ready-for-use conformation. Alternatively, the display is held open via the friction of its interfitting parts and / or the weight of the merchandise being displayed on its shelves.

Problems solved by technology

The displays can be quite bulky and difficult to transport in their assembled state and hence are generally shipped flat and assembled at the point of use.
