display racks.

' bers 13.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a novel and efficient rack for dis playing saws.

Another object is to provide a display rack for saws which will effectively hold a plurality of saws to the view of the customer and from which a single saw can be quickly and easily extracted without interfering with the remaining saws.

7 Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a saW rack made in accordance with my invention,

Fig. 2 is an end elevation,

Fig. 3 is a top plan view, and

Fig. 4; is a section on the line H of Fig. 3.

Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing, 10 represents a horizontally disposed frame formed of hollow tubing and supported at the corners by the casters 11. Extending upwardly from each of the cor- 11ers of the frame 10 is an upwardly and inwardly inclined post 12, connected in pairs at their upper ends by the transverse Inem- Extending longitudinally of the frame 10 and connecting the members 13 is a bar 14, and extending transversely through this bar are a plurality of pins 15, said pins extending in parallel relation and at equal topics ct this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the distances from both sides of the said bar. The bar 14 has the recesses 14 in its lower face which snugly receive the transverse members 13, bolts 13 being disposed vertically through the bar 14 and the members 13, as clearly seen in the drawing. Mounted on the lower ends of the posts 12, and extending longitudinally of the frame are two channel members 16.

In the operation of the device the saws are placed with their handles resting across the channel members and with their ,blades disposed between the pro ecting ends of the pins 15. Thus a plurality of saws can be placed on opposite sides of the rack and clearly displayed to view. It will be noted that the saws can be readily removed, individually, without disturbing the remainder of the saws. The fact that the vertical posts incline inwardly insure that the saws will rest in the rack without danger of the saws falling therefrom.

What is claimed is:

A display rack including a frame having a horizontal rectangular frame composed of hollow bars, upwardly converging pairs of hollow bars connected to the horizontal frame, horizontal hollow members extending transversely of the frame and connecting the upper ends of the pairs of converging bars, longitudinally extending members having vertical flanges on their longer edges and openings receiving therethrough the lower portions of the converging bars, a solid bar having recesses in the lower face receiving the said transverse members, outwardly extending pins carried by the solid bar, and vertical bolts disposed through the solid bar and the transverse members.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature,

in the presence of two witnesses.
