Benefits of technology

[0010]The present invention is a multi-shelved merchandising display made from corrugated cardboard or a similar lightweight board-like material. In its collapsed state it is substantially flat thereby minimizing the space needed for storage and ensuring easier transport. When needed, the apparatus is assembled by simply squeezing its sides towards one another or displacing a central panel, thereby extending its front and rear panels causing the attached shelves to position themselves in a horizontal orientation. Locking tabs in the center panel interlock with slots formed in the side panels of the display in order to lock it into place.

Problems solved by technology

Known display devices require that apertures be cut from the front and rear panels for access to the shelves formed from the center panel, with the additional result that the waste material from creating these apertures is usually discarded.
