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.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A display rack system, comprising:
a support mechanism having first and second ends, the support mechanism configured to be attached to a surface at the first and second ends;
a track mounted onto the support mechanism, the track comprising parallel bars structured and arranged at a same vertical height; and
a plurality of cardholders attached to the track, each of the plurality of cardholders configured to independently slide laterally along the track relative to the support mechanism,
wherein the plurality of cardholders includes at least one wheel configured to engage and slide along at least one of the parallel bars of the track.

2. The display rack system of claim 1 , wherein the track further comprises the parallel bars forming a first set of parallel bars structured and arranged at a first vertical height and a second set of parallel bars structured and arranged at a second vertical height;
wherein a first set of the plurality of cardholders are arranged on the first set of the parallel bars;
wherein a second set of the plurality of cardholders are arranged on the second set of the parallel bars; and
wherein the first vertical height is different from the second vertical height.

3. The display rack system of claim 1 ,
wherein the track has a discorectangular shape; and
wherein the track is supported on and vertically above the support mechanism.

4. The display rack system of claim 1 ,
wherein the track is expandable in a telescoping manner; and
wherein the track is supported on and vertically above the support mechanism.

5. 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 a face of at least one of the plurality of cardholders.

6. The display rack system of claim 1 , wherein the support mechanism is configured to be expandable in a telescoping manner; and
wherein the track is supported on and vertically above the support mechanism.

7. The display rack system of claim 1 , wherein the support mechanism is configured to engage a vertically arranged rail; and
wherein the track is supported on and vertically above the support mechanism.

8. The display rack system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of cardholders are configured with a plurality of vertical walls and an open top to hold cards.

9. The display rack system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of cardholders are configured to hold a sign on one of a plurality of vertical walls.

10. A display rack system, comprising:
a support mechanism having first and second ends, the support mechanism configured to be attached to a surface at the first and second ends;
a track mounted onto the support mechanism, wherein the track is supported on and vertically above the support mechanism; and
a plurality of cardholders attached to the track, each of the plurality of cardholders configured to independently slide laterally along the track relative to the support mechanism,
wherein the track further comprises a plurality of tiered parallel bars;
wherein the track is configured to be expandable in a telescoping manner;
wherein at least one of the plurality of cardholders includes a handle portion comprising a flat surface extending from a face of at least one of the plurality of cardholders; and
wherein the plurality of cardholders are configured with a plurality of vertical walls and open top to hold cards.

11. The display rack system of claim 10 , wherein each of the plurality of cardholders includes at least one wheel configured to engage and slide along at least one of the parallel bars of the track.

12. The display rack system of claim 10 , wherein the support mechanism is configured to be expandable in a telescoping manner; and wherein the track comprises parallel bars structured and arranged at a same vertical height.

13. The display rack system of claim 10 , wherein the support mechanism is configured to engage a vertically arranged rail; and wherein the track comprises parallel bars structured and arranged at a same vertical height.

14. The display rack system of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of cardholders are configured to hold a sign on one of a plurality of vertical walls.
