A collapsible display fixture, in the nature of a shelf for displaying merchandise, the display shelf being fabricated from corrugated cardboard sheet and presenting a back wall and a pair of opposed sidewalls extending outwardly from the back wall in perpendicular relationship thereto when the display shelf is in a use condition. The sidewalls are divided into front and rear sections by a fold line whereby the sidewalls may be collapsed into overlying relationship to the back wall when the display shelf is in a storage condition. One or more shelves form a part of the display fixture, the shelves being supported between the sidewalls, in a horizontal plane, when the display fixture is in use. Each of the shelves has a forward marginal edge and a rear marginal edge and there is a wire extending between the sidewalls and through the forward marginal edge of each shelf to swingably support the same whereby each shelf may be swung from its horizontal condition of use to a vertical condition of storage. The wires for swingably mounting each of the shelves are provided with means for coupling the same with the front section of each corresponding sidewall, in the nature of a portion of the wire which is receivable within a recess in the front section, there being a stretch at each end of each wire extending downwardly from the portion and received within a channel formed in the central ply of the front section of each sidewall, with an inturned end on each stretch of the wire, all to the end that the entire display shelf may be quickly and readily moved from a condition of storage to a condition of use or, when emptied of merchandise, from a condition of use to a condition of storage and easy transportation in a flattened condition.

A collapsible display shelf comprising: a back wall; a pair of opposed sidewalls extending outwardly from said back wall in perpendicular relationship to the back wall when the display shelf is in a use condition, said sidewalls each having a front section and a rear section, there being a fold line between said sections to permit collapsing of said sidewalls into overlying relationship to the back wall when the display shelf is in a storage condition; at least one shelf disposed in a horizontal plane between said sidewalls when the display shelf is in said use condition, said shelf having a forward marginal edge and a rear marginal edge; a wire carried by said sidewalls and spanning the distance therebetween for swingably mounting said shelf whereby it may be swung from its horizontal condition of use to a vertical storage condition overlying said collapsed sidewalls and said back wall, said wire having a central length extending through the forward marginal edge of the shelf and a portion at each end extending perpendicularly to said central length, said portions each being receivable within a recess formed in corresponding front sections of the sidewalls when the display shelf is in a condition of use; and means on the rear marginal edge of the shelf for engaging the back wall, whereby to stabilize the shelf in said horizontal plane when the display shelf is in said condition of use.
