Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present invention relates generally to a folding display apparatus, and more particularly relates to a folding display apparatus that has two spaced apart bases containing a bottom side panel, a left side panel, a right side panel, and a back side panel forming a cavity therein for receiving panel filters for display on a shelf in a selectively secured arrangement. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    Display apparatus are employed everyday in order to display merchandise to a potential customer. Panel filters are typically displayed in boxes that are usually placed on the ground or stacked on a shelf. The boxes make it difficult for the customer to retrieve a panel filter from the box, because the panel filters are tightly packed within the box. In this arrangement, it is difficult for the customer to retrieve the panel filters because it is burdensome to insert a finger in between the box and panel filter. Additionally, the box is not secured to the shelf, thus increasing the amount of difficulty in retrieving a panel filter from the box. Therefore, there is a need for a display apparatus that may be secured to a structure and that allows for a customer to easily access the panel filters.

In other words, the retention slot  60  is aligned over top of a shelf bore  102  and the retention slot  62  is aligned over top of a shelf bore  102 . Once the retention slots  60  and  62  are aligned over the shelf bore  102 , a shelf fastener  104  is inserted through the retention slots ( 60 ,  62 ) and the shelf bore  102  for selectively securing the first base  12  and second base  14  to the shelf  100 . 
         [0053]    An exemplary embodiment of the tab fastener  70  is illustrated in  FIG. 12 . The tab fastener  70  preferably has a head  106  and a body  108  that are connected by a neck  110 . The body  108  has a diameter greater than that of the neck  110  of the tab fastener  70 . The body  108  is designed to be inserted through the respective tab bore and tab bores ( 64 ,  68 ), whereby the head  106  is positioned on one side of the tab bore or tab bores ( 64 ,  68 ) and the body  108  is positioned on the opposite side of the tab bore or tab bores ( 64 ,  68 ). It should be known that any such fastener that would selectively secure the right tab to the back side panel and the left tab to the back side panel together may be utilized. 
         [0054]    An exemplary embodiment of the shelf fastener  104  is illustrated in  FIG. 13 . The shelf fastener  104  comprises a head  112  and three resilient fingers  114  extending therefrom that are spaced apart by a retention ball  116 . The three resilient fingers  114  are inserted through the retention slots ( 60 ,  62 ) and through the shelf bore  102 . The head is adjacent the bottom side panel ( 16 ,  28 ) and the resilient fingers  114  and retention ball  116  extending through the retention slots ( 60 ,  62 ) and the shelf bore  102 . It should be known that any such fastener that would selectively secure the first base  12  and second base  14  to a shelf  100  may be utilized. 
         [0055]    During use and as illustrated in  FIGS. 14 ,  15  and  16 , the first base  12  and second base  14  are designed to be selectively secured to a shelf  100  in a spaced apart arrangement. The distance between the first base  12  and second base  14  may vary depending upon the dimensions of the panel filter  118  designed to be displayed within the apparatus  10 . The panel filters  118  are intended to be placed within the first base  12  and second base  14 . Preferably, six panel filters  118  may be displayed in this arrangement. The first height extension panel  72  and second height extension panel  94  may be engaged to the first base  12  and second base  14  respectively for storing more panel filters  118 , preferably up to  20  panel filters  118 . 
         [0056]    During use, the left side panel  18  of the first base  12  is folded via the fold line and the right side panel  20  of the first base  12  is folded via the fold line  42 . The back side panel  22  of the first base  12  is folded via the fold line  44 , the left tab  24  is folded via the fold line  46 , and the right tab  26  is folded via the fold line  48 . The tab bores  68  of the right tab  26  and left tab  24  are aligned with the tab bore  68  of the back side panel  22 , as shown in  FIGS. 4 and 5 . A tab fastener  70  is inserted within the tab bore  68  forming a selectively secured arrangement. 
         [0057]    The left side panel  30  of the second base  14  is folded via the fold line  50  to the bottom side panel  28  of the second base  14 , the right side panel  32  of the second base  14  is folded via the fold line  52 . The back side panel  34  of the second base  14  is folded via the fold line  54  to the bottom side panel  28 , the left tab  36  is folded via the fold line  56 , and the right tab  38  is folded via the fold line  58 . The tab bores  68  of the right tab  38  and left tab  36  are aligned with the tab bore  68  of the back side panel  34 , as shown in  FIGS. 8 ,  9 , and  10 . A tab fastener  70  is inserted within the tab bore  68  forming a selectively secured arrangement. 
         [0058]    The present invention may be packaged as a kit for assembly and display. The kit of the display apparatus includes a first base  12  and a second base  14 . The first base  12  comprises a bottom side panel  16 , a left side panel  18 , a right side panel  20 , a back side panel  22 , a left tab  24 , and a right tab  26 . The second base  14  comprises a bottom side panel  28 , a left side panel  30 , a right side panel  32 , a back side panel  34 , a left tab  36 , and a right tab  38 . 
         [0059]    Optionally, the kit may include a first height extension panel  72 , a second height extension panel  94 , and a display panel  82 . Additionally, up to four shelf fasteners  104  may be included in the kit and up to fourteen tab fasteners  70  may be included in the kit. 
         [0060]    The terms bottom, left, right, and back may change depending upon a relative position (e.g. in some situations the right may be the left and vice versa), for purposes of orientation and to provide the detailed description herein (without necessary limiting the claims), it is understood that the relative orientation and positions will be described as illustrated in the drawings, particularly  FIGS. 1 and 2 . 
         [0061]    Although the present invention has been illustrated and described herein with reference to preferred embodiments and specific examples thereof, it will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that other embodiments and examples may perform similar functions and/or achieve like results. All such equivalent embodiments and examples are within the spirit and scope of the present invention and are intended to be covered by the following claims.
