Abstract:
1. Apparatus comprising: a display rack with a planar shelf surface which is inclined at a shelf angle from a front edge upwardly and rearwardly to a rear edge so that articles on the planar shelf surface tend to slide forwardly to the front edge, and a set of containers each container comprising: a base sitting on the planar shelf surface; an upstanding front wall; an upstanding rear wall; a top wall; and two upstanding side walls; the containers of the set being arranged in a row with each container immediately in front of a next container behind: so that the rear wall of said each container is butting the front wall of the next container behind; and so that a forwardmost one of the containers has the front wall thereof located at the front edge of the shelf surface; the front and rear walls of the containers defining therebetween a common width of the containers and the side walls of the containers defining therebetween a common depth of the containers; the containers having the front and rear walls thereof inclined at a wall angle to a plane at right angles to the base, which wall angle is substantially equal to the shelf angle so that, with the base sitting on the inclined planar shelf surface, the front and rear walls stand substantially upright; the top wall of each container being inclined to the base at an angle substantially equal to the shelf angle; so that the rear wall of said each container is of less height from the planar shelf surface than the front wall of said next container behind; so that, for each container of the row, a strip portion at the top edge of the front wall of said next container behind is exposed above the top edge of the rear wall of said each container; and so that, when viewed in front elevation, the strip portion of the front wall of each container in the row is visible.
