Benefits of technology
[0008]Unlike traditional supermarket display bases fixed in one position, the adjustable display base can be rotationally positioned. It is still another object of the present invention to expand, allowing for repositioning of displays without disassembling them.
Problems solved by technology
This presents a problem when the area below the display needs to be cleaned because the displays are difficult to move without disassembly.
Bulk or packaged merchandise is typically stacked on the floor, leaving a ring of dirt in an area when the merchandise is relocated, because the stacks could not be moved when the surrounding area was being cleaned.
It is cumbersome to maneuver around the product area.
Such adjustable mobile bases have a number of drawbacks that render them disadvantageous for use as product displays in retail stores such as supermarkets.
First, the bases require time consuming and difficult alignment of through holes, as well as insertion and removal of fasteners into and from the aligned through holes, to render the bases adjustable.
Second, the frames of the bases define open loops, surrounding a large, central area which does not support the equipment or machinery.
This open central area renders the bases unsuitable for stacking many products displayed in retail establishments.

An adjustable display base primarily for use in retail stores such as supermarkets to hold merchandise. The adjustable display base includes four equal frame members, located at the corners of the device, that support the merchandise. The base can expand at least in the x- and y-directions to accommodate merchandise of various sizes. A system of telescoping dowels and legs permits such expansion. Expansion in the z-direction is also possible. A removable center plate, supported by the frame members, provides a flat surface in the horizontal (x-y) plane for supporting merchandise. The display base is mobile, permitting the merchandise to be moved easily without having to remove the merchandise from the base. Casters enable such movement of the display base.
