Referring to FIGS. 1-4, the collapsible display bench 10 may include at least one additional notch 110 on each vertical shelf support 36. Each additional notch 110 may be provided at a substantially identical height on each vertical shelf support 36. This allows a shelf 310 to be installed at various heights and angles. Shelves 310 have hooks that can be disposed in the notches 310. Previous display benches required shelves 310 to be installed at an angle. The notches at multiple heights allow the shelves 310 to be installed at multiple heights on the vertical shelf support 36.


Referring to FIGS. 1-4, in certain embodiments, an end cap 112 is placed on the distal end of the legs 26, the upper end of the posts 40, and the tops of the vertical shelf supports 36. The end caps 112 can be made of rubber, plastic, or any material that shields the open ends of the collapsible display bench 10. The end caps 112 mitigate health and safety risks by covering exposed ends of the collapsible display bench 10. This prevents water from going into the collapsible display bench 10 preventing possible corrosion or mold growth. Additionally, the end caps 112 cover ends of collapsible display bench 10 ensuring that any sharp edges are covered preventing cuts and scrapes.


Referring to FIGS. 1-4, in certain embodiments, the vertical shelf supports 36 and posts 38 have holes 114 on the outside face of the collapsible display bench 10 to allow a banner to be fixed to the collapsible display bench 10. These banners can be promotional materials, information, decorative, or for any purpose someone sees fit. These holes 114 can be flat or threaded and a banner could be attached via a peg, bolt, string, or anything sufficient to hold a banner to the collapsible display bench 10.


Referring to FIGS. 1-5, in certain embodiments, the collapsible display bench 10 includes a rod 210, with a lower end 212, upper end 214, and at least two through holes 18 along the rod 210. The upper end of the rod 212 has a holder 216 to hold a sign 312. A tube 218 may be perpendicularly attached to the horizontal bracing 12. The interior may be the same shape as the exterior of the rod 210. The tube 218 has a through hole 18, The rod 210 is disposed within the tube 218 and fixed in a position by aligning one through hole of the rod 210 with the through hole of the tube 218 and securing with a bolt 46.


Referring to FIGS. 5-6, in certain embodiments, the holder 216 includes a U-shaped cross section 220 extended perpendicular to the rod 210. At least one backing support 222 bisects the U-shaped cross section 220. A sign 312 may be slid into the holder 216 on either side of the backing support 222 into the channel created by the U-shaped cross section 220.


Referring to FIG. 7, in certain embodiments, the plate sets 44 include two plates arranged parallel to each other at a height substantially equivalent to the height of the leg 22, arm 28, and horizontal bracing 12 respectively, with two through holes 18.


Further, referring to FIG. 7, in certain embodiments, the head of each bolt 46 is fit for a hex key, also known as an Allen wrench. This allows for the collapsible display bench 10 to be easily and efficiently assembled and disassembled yet remain secure when setup.


Referring to FIG. 8, a collapsible display bench 10 may be collapsed by using a hex key to loosen a bolt 46 from one of the two through holes 18 of each of the plate sets 44, removing the loosened bolt 46 from each of the plate sets 44; rotating the at least one arm 28 of a frame 20 inwards towards the horizontal bracing 12; rotating the at least one arm 28 of the other frame 20 inwards towards the horizontal bracing 12; rotating the leg 22 of a frame 20 inwards towards the horizontal bracing 12; and rotating the leg 22 of the other frame 20 inwards towards the horizontal bracing 12. Alternatively, the collapsible display bench 10 may be collapsed by using a hex key to loosen a bolt 46 from one of the two through holes 18 of the plate set 44 securing the horizontal bracing 12; removing the loosened bolt 46 from the plate sets 44; rotating a frame 20 inwards towards the horizontal bracing 12; and rotating the other frame 20 inwards towards the horizontal bracing 12. Collapsing the collapsible display bench 10 in this manner can be accomplished by just a few people and, as described above, with more ease due to the use of a hex key as opposed to a Phillips or flat head bolt 46. Once the collapsible display bench 10 is collapsed, the collapsible display bench 10 can be easily stored for storage or transport due to its relatively flat profile.


In further embodiments, the distal end of at least one arm 28 of a frame 20 is secured to the horizontal bracing 12, the distal end of at least one arm 28 of the other frame 20 is secured to the horizontal bracing 12, the distal end of the leg 22 of a frame 20 is secured to the horizontal bracing 12, and the distal end of the leg 22 of the other frame 20 is secured to the horizontal bracing 12. This allows the collapsible display bench 10 to securely stay in a collapsed state. This will prevent injury and make it easier to transport the collapsible display bench 10 in the collapsed state.
