An improved molded tray for a display stand is shaped to provide a rectangular planar product-support member, whose support area is free of structural invasion by other parts of the tray. The planar product-support member is reinforced by an integral, transverse, peripheral reinforcing flange that extends vertically along the periphery of the support member. Integral, tubular corner post-receiving means are provided adjacent each corner of the support member and tangent to the peripheral flange. Reinforcing strips extend parallel to and outwardly of the reinforcing flange at two opposed sides of the tray, and are integral with the tubular post-receiving means. A horizontal top wall joins the upper edges of the peripheral flange and each parallel reinforcing strip. The underside of the planar support member is reinforced by a grid of orthogonal ribs, and the support member is apertured, between the reinforcing ribs to reduce the amount of plastic used in forming the tray. The corner post-receiving means provides an upper, reduced height, stud concentric with a sleeve for cooperation with a tubular post, and a lower, extended length stud, concentric with a short sleeve for cooperation with a tubular post. The lower extended stud length provides versatile usage.

A molded, plastic, unitary shelf member that is adapted for use as part of a display stand that is formed by a plurality of said shelf members that are vertically spaced apart by a plurality of tubular posts, comprising, in combination: a rectangular, planar, horizontal, product-support member whose upper support surface is free of structural invasions into the support area thereof, so as to maximize the product-carrying capacity of said upper support surface; a continuous, peripheral, transverse, reinforcing, flange means of rectangular configuration in plan, formed integrally along the entire exterior edgewise periphery of said rectangular support member and projecting both above and below the plane of said horizontal support member, to provide both a rectangular, peripheral, side wall retainer for retaining goods carried on the upper surface of said support member and also to serve as peripheral shelf reinforcement against bending or twisting of the shelf member; tubular, corner post-receiving, means formed integrally with said planar support member and with said peripheral flange means, and projecting transversely both above and below the plane of said planar support member, and located wholly outwardly of the inner, rectangular, surface of said reinforcing flange means; and a pair of elongated reinforcing strips lying in planes transverse to the plane of the horizontal support member, said reinforcing strips extending parallel to, and being located spaced outwardly of, one opposed pair of spaced, parallel sides of said rectangular flange means, with the longitudinal ends of each said elongated reinforcing strip being formed integrally with one pair of said corner post receiving means, for rigidifying said tubular corner post-receiving means relative to each other, and also for rigidifying the rectangular, horizontal, support member and its peripheral, transverse, reinforcing flange means.
