Abstract

A free-standing display fixture includes a main body having a top edge, a bottom edge, a right side panel, a center panel and a left side panel. Each of the left side panel, the center panel and the right side panel include interior surfaces and the interior surfaces of the left side panel and the right side panel face each other. Located between and coupled to left side panel and right panel are a plurality of uniquely arranged display components.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display fixture comprising:
an upright component including three sections having interior surfaces that are coupled together by two folds, wherein the interior surfaces of two of the sections face each other and the interior surface of one of the sections faces forward;
a center component including a front surface and a back surface, wherein portions of the back surface of the center component are coupled to and abut the interior surface of the section of the upright component that faces forward;
a plurality of shoulder bars including fixed ends coupled to and extending between the two sections of the upright component that face each other; and
a plurality of face out bars extending outwardly from and supported by the center component, each face out bar including a fixed end coupled to the center component and a free end, wherein the plurality of face out bars are oriented substantially normal to the plurality of shoulder bars.

2. The display fixture of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of shoulder bars coupled to and extending between the two sections of the upright component that face each other comprise an upper shoulder bar, a middle shoulder bar and a lower shoulder bar, wherein a distance the upper shoulder bar is located from the front surface of the center component is less than a distance the middle shoulder bar is located from the front surface of the center component and wherein a distance the lower shoulder bar is located from the front surface of the center component is greater than the distance the middle shoulder bar is located from the front surface of the center component.

3. The display fixture of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of face out bars extending outwardly from and supported by the center component comprise an upper face out bar, a middle face out bar and a lower face out bar, wherein a distance the upper face out bar extends from the front surface of the center component is less than a distance the middle face out bar extends from the front surface of the center component and wherein a distance the lower face out bar extends from the front surface of the center component is greater than the distance the middle face out bar extends from the front surface of the center component.

4. The display fixture of claim 1 , wherein each shoulder bar is directly coupled to one of the face out bars.

5. The display fixture of claim 1 , further comprising a header having a front panel and at least two downward depending tabs, wherein the at least two downward depending tabs are inserted into slots located along a top edge of the section of the upright component that faces forward, wherein a front facing surface of the front panel of the header includes indicia.

6. The display fixture of claim 1 , wherein the upright component further comprises two front facing edges that define free edges of the two sections of the upright component that face each other, wherein the two sections that face each other taper along the front facing edges from the bottom edge of the upright component to the top edge of the upright component.

7. A display fixture comprising:
a main body including a top edge, a bottom edge, a pair of side panels and at least one center panel, wherein each of the side panels include interior surfaces that face each other and the center panel includes an interior surface that faces forward;
a plurality of cross bars including fixed ends coupled to and extending between the pair of side panels of the main body; and
a plurality of face out bars oriented substantially normal to the plurality of cross bars and including fixed ends and free ends, wherein a number of cross bars corresponds with a number of face out bars;
wherein the plurality of cross bars coupled to and extending between the pair of side panels of the main body comprise an upper cross bar, a middle cross bar and a lower cross bar, wherein a distance the upper cross bar is located from the interior surface of the center panel is less than a distance the middle cross bar is located from the interior surface of the center panel and wherein a distance the lower cross bar is located from the interior surface of the center panel is greater than the distance the middle cross bar is located from the interior surface of the center panel.

8. The display fixture of claim 7 , further comprising a center component including a front surface and a back surface, wherein portions of the back surface of the center component are coupled to and abut the interior surface of the center panel of the main body that faces forward.

9. The display fixture of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of face out bars extend outwardly from and are supported by the center component at their fixed ends.

10. The display fixture of claim 7 , wherein each cross bar is directly coupled to one of the face out bars.

11. The display fixture of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of face out bars comprise an upper face out bar, a middle face out bar and a lower face out bar, wherein a distance a free end of the upper face out bar is located from the interior surface of the center panel is less than a distance a free end of the middle face out bar is located from the interior surface of the center panel and wherein a distance a free end of the lower face out bar is located from the interior surface of the center panel is greater than a distance a free end of the middle face out bar is located from the interior surface of the center panel.

12. The display fixture of claim 7 , wherein the main body further comprises two front facing edges that define free edges of the side panels of the main body, wherein the side panels taper along the front facing edges from the bottom edge of the main body to the top edge of the main body.

13. A display fixture comprising:
a main body including three panels, wherein each panel includes an interior surface and the interior surfaces of two of the panels face each other and the interior surface of one of the panels faces forward;
a plurality of shoulder bars extending between the two panels that face each other and being spaced apart from each other along a height of the main body; and
a plurality of face out bars oriented substantially normal to the plurality of shoulder bars, wherein each face out bar is directly coupled to and positioned on top of only one of the plurality of shoulder bars such that an exterior surface of each face out bar intersects with an exterior surface of only one of the plurality of shoulder bars;
wherein the plurality of face out bars and the plurality of shoulder bars support hangers on which clothes are displayed.

14. The display fixture of claim 13 , further comprising a center component including a front surface and back surfaces, wherein portions of the back surfaces of the center component are coupled to and abut the interior surface of the panel of the main body that faces forward.

15. The display fixture of claim 14 , wherein the plurality of shoulder bars coupled to and extending between the two panels of the main body that face each other comprise an upper shoulder bar, a middle shoulder bar and a lower shoulder bar, wherein a distance the upper shoulder bar is located from the front surface of the center component is less than a distance the middle shoulder bar is located from the front surface of the center component and wherein a distance the lower shoulder bar is located from the front surface of the center component is greater than the distance the middle shoulder bar is located from the front surface of the center component.

16. The display fixture of claim 14 , wherein the
