     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS  
       [0024]    Hereinbelow, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in greater detail by referring to the appended drawings.  
         [0025]    Referring to FIGS. 2A through 2C, a display rack stand for a hairbrush  100  has a support frame  120  removably connected to a base plate  110  while standing upright on the base plate  110 , and hangers  130  protruding forward to be placed over the base plate  110 . The hangers  130  are removably connected with the support frame  120 .  
         [0026]    According to the present inventions the base plate  110  has predetermined sloping sides  111  at a front end and a back end. Thus, the base plate  110  is a plate stand base shaped substantially of a roof.  
         [0027]    The supporting frame  120  includes standing support bars  121  and  122  removably connected with both ends at backside of the base plate  110 , and a support panel  123  placed at an upper part between the support bars  121  and  122 . The support panel  123  is shaped like a bridge connecting the support bars  121  and  122 , and has a plurality of holding grooves  123   a  formed therein.  
         [0028]    Connection protrusions  121   a  and  122   a  are protruded downward from a lower side of the support bars  121  and  122 . The connection protrusions  121   a  and  122   a  stand upright and are removably connected with connection holes  110   a  and  110   b  formed in both ends at the backside of the base plate  100 .  
         [0029]    The support panel  123  is in the shape of a bridge placed between the support bars  121  and  122  in order to connect and support the upper parts of the support bars  121  and  122 .  
         [0030]    The plurality of holding grooves  123   a  is disposed at the upper part of the support panel  123 . The hangers  130  are removably connected with the holding grooves  123   a.    
         [0031]    As shown in FIG. 2C, the hangers  130  has a shape of alphabet letter ‘L’, as a front and  132  and a back end  133  of a body  131  of the hanger  130  are bent for a predetermined degree in a corresponding direction.  
         [0032]    The back end  133  of the hanger  130  is bent to be orthogonal in relative to the body  131 , and has a compressed plate shape like a front end of a chisel. The back end  133  of the hanger  130  is removably connected with the holding grooves  123   a  of the support panel  123 . Moreover, the front end  132  of the hangers  130  are bent upwardly for a predetermined angle with respect to the body  131  and protruded towards the front of the support panel  123 . According to the above structure, when small things such as the hairbrush  1  are hung on the body  131  in a certain arrangement, the hairbrush  1  can be prevented from being separated as the front end  123  is bent.  
         [0033]    In the meantime, in the present invention, it is preferable that the base plate  110 , the support bars  121  and  122 , and the support panel  123  are made from injection-molding synthetic resins. Moreover, it is advisable that the hangers  130  are made by bending a wire having a predetermined thickness.  
         [0034]    According to one aspect of the present invention, the support bars  121  and  122  and the support panel  123  of the support frame  120  can be integrally formed with each other. On the other hand, the support bars  121  and  122  and the support panel  123  can be separately made and connected with each other.  
         [0035]    Albeit not shown, when the support bars  121  and  122  and the support panel  123  are made separately, slits (not shown) can be formed inside of the support bars  121  and  122 . Thus, the support bars  121  and  122  can be removably connected to the support panel  123  by sliding both ends of the support panel  123  into the slits of the support bars  121  and  122 .  
         [0036]    The reference numeral  140  is a display panel for a commercial object such as an effect of advertisement about the product being displayed and the maker. The display panel  140  is a plate panel and can take various shape such as an arch as shown, or a square shape.  
         [0037]    The display panel  140  has a plate body  141 , and connection protrusions  141   a  and  141   b  formed at both lower parts of the body  141 . As the connection protrusions  141   a  and  141   b  are connected with grooves  121   b  and  122   b  formed at upper ends of the support bars  121  and  122 , the display panel  140  is removably connected with the upper end of the support bars  121  and  122  and the support panel  123 .  
         [0038]    As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the display rack stand  100  for a hairbrush can be manufactured having two layers as shown in FIGS. 3A through 3C.  
         [0039]    Referring to FIGS. 3A through 3C, the display rack stand  200  for a hairbrush according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention is formed to have two layers as a second support plate  220  is disposed between the base plate  110  and the support frame  120 .  
         [0040]    The second support frame  220  has the same structure as the above-described support frame  120 . The second support frame  220  has standing support bars  221  and  222  removably connected with both ends at backside of the base plate  110 , and a support panel  223  placed at an upper part between the support bars  221  and  222 . The support panel  223  has a bridge shape to connect the support bars  221  and  222 , and has a plurality of holding grooves  223   a.    
         [0041]    Connection protrusions  221   a  and  222   a  protrude downward from a lower side of the support bars  221  and  222 . The connection protrusions  221   a  and  222   a  are removably connected to connection holes  110   a  and  110   b  formed at both ends at the backside of the base plate  110  while standing upright.  
         [0042]    Moreover, connection holes  221   b  and  222   b  connected with connection protrusions  121   a  and  122   a  formed at bottoms of support bars  121  and  122  of the support frame  120  are formed at upper part of the support bars  221  and  222 .  
         [0043]    Therefore, as the support frame  120  is placed on the support bars  221  and  222  of the second support frame  220 , and the connection protrusions  121   a  and  122   a  of the support bars  121  and  122  are connected with the connection holes  221   b  and  222   b  of the support bars  221  and  222 , the overall structure of the stand becomes two layers.  
         [0044]    Hangers  130  are removably connected with the support panel  223  according to the same structure as the one layered rack stand.  
         [0045]    According to the structural characteristic described so far, the display rack stand for hairbrush can have multi-layered structure although it was not exemplified here.  
         [0046]    On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the display rack stand for a hairbrush according to the present invention can be easily carried or transported since the base plate  110 , the support frames  120  and  220 , the hangers  130 , and the display panel  140  are disassembled and put into a packing material  2  such as a box or a plastic bag.  
         [0047]    According to the display rack stand for a hairbrush having the above structure of the present invention, several effects can be expected.  
         [0048]    Firstly, logistics expenses are reduced due to easy disassembling and assembling and high storage and transportation efficiency.  
         [0049]    Secondly, since the rack stand is structured as multi-layered, display effect and space efficiency can be optimized.  
         [0050]    So far, the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described. However, the present invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments described here, and someone skilled in the art can modify the present invention without distorting the point of the present invention claimed in the claim part.
