Problems solved by technology

One problem with the existing display stands is the bulk of the stands.
Since access is normally provided on both sides of the display stands, these stands tend to take up considerable space.
This is particularly a problem when the display stands are used for seasonal displays.
Once the seasonal display is no longer needed, the space occupied by the display stands is wasted.
Since space ...

case 82

[0029] Display case 82 is also secured to the cross members 60, 62 by pivot attachment mechanisms 84, 86. The display case is thus secured to the display stand while pivotal relative to the cross members. A detent mechanism is also provided to secure the display case 82 in place relative to the display stand when the display case is in the horizontal position.

[0030] In this preferred embodiment, beams 90, 92 and 94, 96 are secured to the upper end of the display stand on the vertical members 22, 24. Hanging plants may be mounted from these structure members or display cases may be mounted to these structure members. In this embodiment, the structure members or display cases are mourned permanently at an angle, although in other embodiments, the tops may be pivotally mounted as well.

[0031] In use, the display stand 10 is set up as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Since many of the plant displays are seasonal, the stand is not always needed. In that situation, the display cases 70, 72, and 82...

RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a continuation of Ser. No. 10 / 711,010 filed on Aug. 17, 2004, pending.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates to the field of watering systems for plants, and particularly to the field of a bench or table top watering system. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Garden centers, nurseries, florists and other places where flowers, plants and trees are sold or displayed use display stands for the display of those plants. These display stands may be simply tables, but can also be designed not only to display the plants but to provide watering for those plants as well. [0004] One problem with the existing display stands is the bulk of the stands. Since access is normally provided on both sides of the display stands, these stands tend to take up considerable space. This is particularly a problem when the display stands are used for seasonal displays. Once the seasonal display is no longer needed, the space occupied by the display ...
