Carrying appartus for merchandise display elements
First Claim
1. A merchandise display system comprising:
- a plurality of at least two free-standing support columns each adapted to be supported on a supporting surface and to be readily moved with respect to each other, each column having at least one coupling ring thereon located at a predetermined height above the supporting surface, each coupling ring being formed to provide an inwardly directed annular circumferential clamping space open in a radial direction;
at least one elongate cylindrical support bar having a coupling device secured to each end thereof, each said coupling device being centered at an end of a respective support bar and comprising a releasable hook mechanism dimensioned to be received in the annular clamping space of a respective coupling ring for releasably securing the support bar, at its ends, to two columns spaced from each other by the length of the support bar, said support bar having a plurality of at least two spaced apart bore holes formed in its peripheral surface oriented upwardly when the bar is in the position of use; and
at least one merchandise-carrying member for supporting and displaying merchandise, said merchandise-carrying member having at least one downwardly directed support member dimensioned to be inserted in a bore hole in said support bar for detachably securing said merchandise-carrying member on said support bar.

Abstract
The carrying apparatus for merchandise display elements is made up of substantially free-standing columns (2) with supporting bars (4) detachably fixed between neighboring columns. The said supporting bars are suspended by means of coupling devices at both their ends in coupling rings (3) of the columns (2) and contain along their surface openings (5) for receiving carrying members (6), in the form of coat hanger carriers (7, 7,'"'"') or shelf carriers (8, 8'"'"') etc., supporting the merchandise display elements.
The columns (2) and the supporting bars (4) can be used to set up on the modular principle carrying apparatuses made in linear form, interrupted in any way, or with supporting bars extending in stellar form from a central columns (sic) (2).
