VEIL-DISPLAY RACK.
Specification of Letters Patent.
atentcd Sept. .5, i913.
Application filed September 4, 1912. Serial No. 718,602.
'1 b all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MAE FI'IZPA'IIHCK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Victoria, Province of British Columbia, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Veil Display Racks, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in veil display racks and particularly to such as are adapted for use on a counter.
An object in View is case and facility assortment of veilings and maintenance an effective display thereof.
With this and further objects in view, as will in part hereinafter be set forth and in part become apparent, the invention comprises certain novel constructions, combinations and arrangements of parts as herein specified and claimed.
In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of a rack embodying the Features of the present invention. Fig, 2 is an edge view thereof, parts being broken away and seen in section, for 'taeilitating the disclosure. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken on the planes indicated by line 3-3 of Fig. 2, looking upwardly. Fig. 4: is a transverse vertical section of a fragment of the parts, the section being taken on the plane indicated by line l4l of Fig. 3. Fig. -5 is an enlarged detail vertical section through one of the post-receiving pockets and connected part-s. Fig. 6 is a similar view showing the method of connection ot the side rods.
Referring to the drawings by numerals, 1 indicates a base plate, preferably of a ma terial of sufficient Weight to lend stability to the superstructure and largely eliminate tottering. Upstanding from the base 1 is the pivot standard 2 on which is pivotally mounted the crossed bars 3, 3 which bars are pivotally connected together and connected to the standard 2 at the point of their crossing by pivot bolt 4. The respective opposite ends of the bars 3 are connected by cross bars 5, 5. Each cross bar 5 preferably consists of a series of links, there being two intermediate links 5 lapped at their adjacent, inner end portions and pivotally connected together thereat. The outer end portion of each link 5 is lapped by the inner end portion of the respective terminal link 5 which latter links, with the intermediate links, complete the respective cross bar 5. The lapping portions of links 5 and 5" are prefof of erably formed by halving the respective contiguous parts and inclining the termini of the links to corrcspoml to opposing inclined shoulders which converge outwardly so as to Form abutments against outward pivotal movement of any of the links 5, 5 while leaving the links Free to swing inwardly from the points of pivotal connection between links 5' and 5". A rivet or other suitable pivot member 6 arranged to pivotally connect the inner ends of links 5 and to connect the outer ends of links 5 to the respective contiguous portion ol the corresponding bar 3. each of said bars being slotted, as at 7, for accommodating the passage of the respective pivot t3. Superposed on each of the cross bars 5 at the point of each pivot (i is a pocket plate 8 formed with a recess or pocket t), and the rivet or pivot member (3 is passed preferably from the inside of the recess or pocket 1) through the material of the plate 8 and through the respective bars therebeneath. l\lounted in the several pockets 5) and upstanding pre'lerably vertically there'trom are the upright posts 10, 10 each terminating at its upper end in any suitable fanciful configuration 11. It is noted that the bars 3 are of sutlicicnt length relative to the length of the bars 5 for having the ends of the rack substantially coincident with the ends oi bars 3, and a pair of posts 10 is arranged at each end of the rack, forming corner posts with an intermediate post 10 upstanding from and resting in the intermediate pocket S) of the respective cross bar 5. The corner posts 10 at each end of the rack are connected to the intermediate post at the respective end by crossed bars 12, 12 which are pivoted together midway of their length and pivotally connected to the respective intermediate post by a suitable pivot pin 13, the end portions of the bars 12 being slot-ted, as at 14, and connected by rivets or other suitable pivotal connecting means 15 to the respec tive ends of the corner posts 10.
A series of shelving bars 16 is arranged and spaced vertically along each corner post 10, each bar 16 extending from one corner post 10 at one end of the rack to the respective opposing corner post 10 at the opposite end of the rack and each bar 16 having one end resting in a recess or pocket in one of the corner posts 10 and at the opposite end lying in an aperture 17 in the supporting corner posts, the aperture 17 consisting of a transverse opening through which the respective rod 16 may be passed and having a downward depression or recess 17- into which the end of the respective rod 16 is dropped or pressed after the rod has been thrust longitudinally through the aperture 17 into its position with its opposite end engaging the supporting recess of the op' poslng post. Thus each rod 16, While effectively sustained in position, is free to be readily removed and replaced by withdrawal from and return through the aperture 17. Each of the intermediate posts 10 is formed with transverse horizontal apertures 18 corresponding in number and elevation to the number and elevation of the rods 16, and shelving rods 19, 19 are arranged with laterally turned end portions 19, 19 extending into the respective recesses 18 for affording a support for the rods 19 on the intermediate posts 10. The laterally turned portions 19 are of sufficient length to space the rods 19 apart approximately a distance equal to the distance from either rod 19 to the next adjacent rod 16, whereby a given series of rods 16 and 19, at a given elevation, comprises an openwork shelving on which veiling in the form of bolts, or otherwise, may be disposed. It is to be observed that the portions 19 fit the apertures 18 su'tliciently snugly to retain the rods 19 in place during use of the rack, but the fit is sufficiently loose to enable the rods to be withdrawn from their engagement- With the posts 10 so that any given set of rods 19 may be withdrawn and the corresponding rods 16 withdrawn, leaving a double space between the next lower set of rods 16 and 19 and the next upper ones, whereby, if the veiling is divided according to colors, as Will probably be preferable, and there is an excess of any given color, all of the veiling of that particular color may be accommodated on a single shelf though the space required may exceed that ordinarily afforded between one shelf and the next higher shelf.
It should be apparent from the foregoing that the bars 3 are collapsible by being swung pivotally in a direction causing their ends to approach each other, and the bars 12 are correspondingly collapsible so that the corner posts 10 may be caused to approach the intermediate posts 10 by forcing the pivots between links 5 and5 inwardly, whereby the parts may be readily collapsed and caused to assunie a relatively compact form especially facilitating shipment and transportation. .On the other hand, it is apparent that when the links 5 and 5 are forced outwardly to their alined position the parts will be effectively retained in operative relation. Y
Having thus described the 111V611tl011, what is claimed is:
1. A veiling rack comprising a base formed of pivotally connected bars disposed to siving upon their pivot horizontally for spacing their opposite ends, and cross bars connecting the spaced ends, each cross bar being formed of a series of pivotally connected, horizontally disposed links, and veil sustainingmeans mounted upon said base.
2. In a veiling rack, the combination, with a collapsible bar support, pocket plates mounted on the bars of said support, pivot members connecting the pocket plates to the bars of the support and pivotally connecting the bars for sustaining the given relative positions of such bars and enabling relative collapsing movement thereof, and shelvings sustained by said pocket :plates.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses MAE FITZPATRICK.
Witnesses:
J. D. OARLIN, GERALD H. SEDGER.
Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of la-tents, Washington, 110.
