DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION WITH REFERENCE TO THE FIGURES

(7) The present invention relates to display stands (10) comprising a double wall construction which is elevated by an elevated stand (13).

(8) FIG. 1 illustrates an elevated stand (13) and a rectangular double wall construction comprising an inner wall (11) and an outer wall (12). The inner wall defines an inner volume (50), and the inner wall (11) and the outer wall (12) defines a display volume (60).

(9) The elevated stand (13) is hollow and comprises an opening (30) giving access to the inside of the elevated stand and the inner volume (50) defined by the inner wall (11), thus giving access for a person to stand inside the display stand (10). Both the inner wall (11) and the outer wall (12) are transparent, such that the display volume (60) can be viewed from inside the display stand, where a person is able to view the display in a 360 degree view, and outside the display stand, where a person can walk around the display stand (10) and view the display.

(10) The display stand (10) comprises a cover (20) and an auxiliary display area in the form of shelves.

(11) The rectangular display stand has the appearance of a toy building block with coupling members in a big scale. In FIG. 1 the cover (20) is provided with four protrusions (22) in the form of coupling studs.

(12) The inner wall has a cylindrical cross section.

(13) FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate side views of the rectangular display stand shown in FIG. 1.

(14) FIG. 2 shows the elevated stand (13) comprising an opening (30). The elevated stand has a height of 0.945 meter. Above the elevated stand the double wall construction is positioned defining an inner volume (50) by the inner wall (11) and a display volume (60) between the inner wall (11) and the outer wall (12). The total height of the inner volume, defined by the elevated stand (13) and the double wall construction, is (0.945+0.545 meter) 1.49 meters.

(15) FIG. 3 shows a side view of the display stand (10) comprising a hollow elevated stand (13) connected to the double wall construction (11, 12). The inner wall defines an inner volume (50) having a diameter of 0.51 meter. Both the inner volume 50 and the display volume (60) are enclosed by the cover (20) comprising protrusions (22).

(16) In FIG. 1 the display stand (10) comprises the outer wall having a rectangular shaped, and in FIG. 4 is illustrated a cylindrical display stand (10) having a circular cross section.
