Abstract

The disclosure provides for a display rack system. The display rack system includes a support mechanism having first and second ends. The support mechanism may be configured to be attached to a surface at the first and second ends. The display rack system may also include a track mounted onto the support mechanism. The display rack system may also include a plurality of cardholders attached to the track. Each of the first plurality of cardholders may be configured to independently slide laterally relative to the track.

Claims (41)

1. A display rack system, comprising:

a support mechanism having first and second ends, the support mechanism configured to be attached to a vertical surface at the first and second ends;

a plurality of cardholders removably attached to the support mechanism;

the plurality of cardholders being arranged at the same vertical height along the support mechanism;

a plurality of rotation mechanisms, each of the plurality of rotation mechanisms configured to hold at least one of the plurality of cardholders, each of the plurality of rotation mechanisms configured to allow at least one of the plurality of cardholders to separately rotate with respect to the support mechanism;

each of the plurality of cardholders having a front surface, a back surface, side surfaces, and a bottom surface; and

a plurality of carousel portions each configured to support a plurality of the plurality of cardholders,

wherein each of the plurality of carousel portions comprise a circular base and the plurality of cardholders are mounted to the circular base;

wherein the front surface and the back surface are connected by the side surfaces, and the front surface, the back surface, and the side surfaces being connected to the bottom surface;

wherein the support mechanism is expandable in a telescoping manner; and

wherein the first and second ends of the support mechanism further comprise ends configured to fit into slots associated with the vertical surface.

2. The display rack system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of cardholders includes a handle portion extending from the front surface.

3. The display rack system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of cardholders are configured to hold cards between the front surface, the back surface, the side surfaces, and the bottom surface.

4. The display rack system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of cardholders are configured to hold a sign on the back surface.

5. The display rack system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of cardholders are configured with an open top to hold cards between the front surface, the back surface, the side surfaces, and the bottom surface.

6. The display rack system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of cardholders includes a handle portion comprising a flat surface extending from the front surface of at least one of the plurality of cardholders.

7. The display rack system of claim 1 , wherein

each of the plurality carousel portions being configured to connect to one of the plurality of rotation mechanisms.

8. The display rack system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of cardholders are configured with an open section in the front surface, the open section configured to facilitate viewing of items located within the plurality of cardholders.

9. The display rack system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of cardholders comprise a transparent material in at least the front surface.

10. A display rack system, comprising:

a support mechanism having first and second ends, the support mechanism configured to be attached to a vertical surface at the first and second ends;

a plurality of cardholders removably attached to the support mechanism;

the plurality of cardholders being arranged at the same vertical height along the support mechanism;

a plurality of rotation mechanisms, each of the plurality of rotation mechanisms configured to hold a plurality of the plurality of cardholders, each of the plurality of rotation mechanisms configured to allow at least one of the plurality of cardholders to separately rotate with respect to the support mechanism;

each of the plurality of cardholders having a front surface, a back surface, side surfaces, and a bottom surface; and

a plurality of carousel portions each configured to support a plurality of the plurality of cardholders,

wherein each of the plurality of carousel portions comprise a circular base and the plurality of cardholders are mounted to the circular base;

wherein the plurality of cardholders are configured to hold cards between the front surface, the back surface, the side surfaces, and the bottom surface;

wherein the support mechanism is expandable in a telescoping manner; and

wherein the first and second ends of the support mechanism further comprise ends configured to fit into slots associated with the vertical surface.

11. The display rack system of claim 10 , wherein at least one of the plurality of cardholders includes a handle portion extending from the front surface.

12. The display rack system of claim 10 , wherein the front surface and the back surface are connected by the side surfaces, and the front surface, the back surface, and the side surfaces are connected to the bottom surface.

13. The display rack system of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of cardholders are configured to hold a sign on the back surface.

14. The display rack system of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of cardholders are configured with an open top to hold cards between the front surface, the back surface, the side surfaces, and the bottom surface.

15. The display rack system of claim 10 , wherein at least one of the plurality of cardholders includes a handle portion comprising a flat surface extending from the front surface of at least one of the plurality of cardholders.

16. The display rack system of claim 10 , wherein

each of the plurality carousel portions being configured to connect to one of the plurality of rotation mechanisms.

17. The display rack system of claim 16 ,

wherein the plurality of cardholders are configured with an open section in the front surface, the open section configured to facilitate viewing of items located within the plurality of cardholders; and

wherein the plurality of cardholders comprise a transparent material in at least the front surface.
