DISPLAY-FRAME.
1 Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 12,1913.
Application filed February 23, 1910. Serial No. 545,422.
' cation.
My invention relates to-a frame formed from metallic strips 'forholding magazines, post cards and other like materials; andthe object thereof is to produce a skeleton frame that will support such articles so as to display as large a surface thereof as possible.
A further object is to produce such frames with a minimum amount of material so constructed that the holders will interlock with a maximum amount of rigidity so that any desired number may be interlocked and hung from a single point of support on the wall or other support.
I accomplish these objects by the frame de-= scribed herein and illustrated in the acoom panying drawings in which,-
' Figure 1 is a perspectiveof my inproved display frame. Fig. 2 isa section on'the line 2-2 of Fig. 1 with a section of a like frame on the same line, interlocked with the first frame. F 'g. 3 is a fragmentarysection on the line 33 of Fig. 1.
In the drawings I have illustrated my display frame as adapted for holding illustrated post cards, one of which 5 is shown in dotted" lines in Fig. 1, in'position in the frame, but by changing the size thereof, it is equally well adapted for holding magazines and other articles of like character.
My-display frame is formed of the 'ver,- tical member 6 which is preferably formed from a strip of sheet 'metal of the requisite weight to give sufiicient stability to the frame tov support such articles as may be desired to, be displayed therein and of a width as desired for the completed frame. It is provided with a neck 7 and'with legs 8.
- The legs are first turned at rightv angles to tion as shown in Figs. 1 arid-2,:1nd form. bottom pockets 9. The legs form the sup-- port for the bottom of the article which is to be displayed in the frame and project on the frontside'fof the-body, Nealt the bottom of the body aiidbntending transversely and swaged therefrom to project from the back of the vertical member, is the interlocking catch 10, which is adapted to receive and retain and support the next lower frame when a number of frames are interlocked. In the neck of the vertical member is a slot 11, which is of a length and widthsufticient to pass over the interlocking catch 10 as best shown in Fig. 2. The center of this slot is enlarged as best-shown at 12 in Fig.1, so as to permit the frame to be hung upon a nail or screw projecting from a vertical support; At a sulficient distance above the legs of the vertical member and preferably upon the back thereof is secured a transverse member 13 which hasthe outer ends thereof bent first-atright' angles forwardly and then toward each otherso as to lie in a plane parallel' with the main body of the transverse member, thereby forming side pockets 14 in which the side edges of the displayed artido are received. The transverse member is provided with slots or apertures 15'th'erein through which are passed uniting catches 16, which catches are swaged from the vertical member and are then passed through the slots in the transverse member and bent down 'upon the back-thereof as best shown in Fig. 3, thereby uniting the transverse to the vertical member, and completing the frame.
- 'By this construction a cheap and rigid her near the bottom thereof at a point where such swaging does not weaken the frame, and that as it projects from the back of the vertical member when in use, it leaves' a smooth front surface. so that the articles displayed in the frame are not injured. It
her, only a sutficient distance to receive the neck of another frame and as the transverse member is secured upon the back of the ver tical member by the uniting catches which are integral with the vertical member, a comparatively smooth back is provided. The long slot in the neck and the long in terloclring catch which is received therein when several frames are united, hold the depending lovver frames much more rigidly than Would be the case if the same Were narrower.
Having described my invention What I claim is; V
l. A display frame composed of 'a plurality of members, each member comprising a vertical member having), bottom pockets at the lower end projecting from the front side thereof; an interlocking catch projecting from the back thereof intermediate and slightly above the bottom pocket, said vertical member having a transverse slot therein near the top thereof, the transverse slot of one member being adapted to receive and retain the interlocking catch of the next ox ease member; and a transverse member secured to the back of the vertical member, and having; the outer ends bent to form side pockets.
2. In a display frame composed of a plurality of similar units or members, a unit member comprising a body portion formed of a strip of sheet metal having at the top thereof a neck With a transverse slot therein and at the bottom legs bent to form bot tom pockets, said body also having a portion swaged therefrom near the bottom thereof to project rearwardly and then upwardly to form an interlocking catch adapted to pass into and be retained in the slot of the neck of another unit; and a transverse member secured to said body member, the ends of the transverse member being bent to form side pockets,
in Witness that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed mv name this 17th day of February, 1910.
