Abstract: A counter-top stand for displaying merchandise, in which a tubular support pole is held in operationally upright position by a ground engaging base or pedestal and mounts at least one support member from which merchandise display racks or baskets are suspended outwardly about the support pole. The base or pedestal is provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced ground engaging legs, each having an upstanding inner end portion. The several legs are fixed to a central base ring with the upstanding ends thereof projecting upwardly for insertion into the lower interior of the pole. Connection between the legs and ring is such as to pitch the latter downwardly from the general plane of the ring and thereby angularly diverging their several upstanding end portions. Downward pressure on the base ring flexes the same to converge the upstanding end portions of the legs toward one another whereby to permit their insertion into the open lower end of the tubular pole. Upon release of the ring the end portions again diverge outwardly to tightly grip the interior sidewalls of the pole.
