Apparatus for displaying merchandise mounted on display cards generally “C”-shaped in cross-section having an upper channel and a bottom channel, one channel being wider than the other channel, said apparatus comprising: (a) a vertical central upright having at least two faces, each face having at least one pair of upper and lower rungs of different widths that can mesh, respectively, with the upper and lower channels of a display card so that the card can be removed easily from the rungs only by sliding it from the rungs in a direction essentially parallel to the length of the rungs; (b) a plurality of vertical rotatably mounted side uprights having at least two faces, each face having at least one pair of upper and lower rungs of different widths that can mesh, respectively, with the upper and lower channels of a display card so that the card can be removed easily from the rungs only by sliding it from the rungs in a direction essentially parallel to the length of the rungs; and (c) means for rotating each side upright from a first position to a second position, the vertical sides of the side uprights being sufficiently close to the vertical sides of the central upright when each side upright is in its first position so that display cards cannot be slid free from the rungs of any face of any upright and the vertical sides of the side uprights being sufficiently distant from the vertical sides of the central upright when each side upright is in its second position so that display cards can be slid free from the rungs of any face of any upright.
