Apparatus for transporting and displaying goods has a frame having a base, a pair of opposed side frames, a shelf support post in each frame, and a vertical row of keyholes in each post for pivotal support of a plurality of shelves; the shelf for the apparatus has a center section for supporting a tray, a front barrier for retaining a tray on the shelf, a pair of opposed transverse arms and a key on an outer end of each arm, and a rotator lever on a back of the shelf; a tilt column is connectible to the shelf levers and as the tilt column goes up and down, the shelves pivot from a horizontal transport position to a tilted or inclined display position and back to the horizontal position. A tilt mechanism is articulately connected in between the frame and the column by a hinge on the frame and a hinge on the column, the tilt mechanism has an adjustable stop and a multi-position lock that enables positive positioning of the shelves at several angles, for example, 0, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 degrees of tilt, as the shelves pivot, the shelf levers and the column travel through an arcuate path and the column is guided through the arcuate path by upper and lower radius arms which pivot from the side frame posts, the shelves are removable and replaceable from the apparatus when the column is at its maximum height, when the column is below its maximum height the shelf keys restrainingly engage the side frame posts and provide lateral support from the side frames, the shelves may be placed in many positions and various combinations of quantities and spacings of shelves may be utilized.

A combination transport and display cart having multiple bi-stable shelves which are easily moved from a stable horizontal transport position to a stable inclined display position, comprising: a. an upright frame having opposed sides; b. pivot means in each side for pivotal support of a plurality of shelves; c. a plurality of shelves mounted in the frame, said shelves being substantially parallel to each other and being one above the other, each shelf being individually pivotally mounted in the pivot means and having a rotator lever spaced from the shelf\s respective axis of rotation; d. a shelf tilt column connected to said shelf rotator levers, said column being vertically and fore-aft movable with said levers through an arcuate path as the shelves remain parallel to each other and pivotally rotate either from the horizontal to the inclined position or from the inclined to the horizontal position; e. vertically extendible tilt means connecting the column to the frame for vertically moving the column with respect to the frame, for pivoting the shelves between the positions; and f. a first hinge on the frame and connecting the tilt means directly to the frame, and a second hinge on the column and connecting the tilt means directly to the column.
