Abstract:
A device for displaying produce, comprising: a monolithic, flexible display member constructed entirely of a closed cell foam material, and having a top surface, a bottom surface, a left surface, a right surface, a front surface, and a back surface, with the top surface having a plurality of concave troughs formed into it which support produce,wherein the bottom surface is substantially planar, a plane of the top surface is substantially parallel to the bottom surface, the left surface is substantially parallel to the right surface and adjacent to the top, bottom, front, and back surfaces, the right surface is adjacent to the top, bottom, front, and back surfaces, each trough has a front edge, a back edge, and an inner surface, with the front edge and the back edge of each trough running the length of that trough and each edge being of uniform height, the front edge and the back edge of each trough being substantially parallel to each other for the length of that trough, the inner surface of each trough running from the front edge to the back edge of that trough and being curved generally downward and having a lowest segment located parallel to and between the front edge and the back edge of that trough and running for the length of that trough, and the lowest segment of the inner surface of each trough being of uniform height and of lower height than either the front edge, the back edge, or any other point along the inner surface of that trough, and each trough extends laterally from and through the left surface to and through the right surface for the entire width of the device such that the left surface is formed into scallops where it is adjoined to the top surface and the right surface is formed into scallops where it is adjoined to the top surface.
