Specification of Letters latent,
Patented Aug. 29, 1922.
Application filed January 17, 1920. Serial No. 352,089.
T0 @ZZ @Li/wm t may concern.:
Be it known that l, EDWARD P. llVusroN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and tit-ate of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Racks, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to thedrawings forming a part of this speciication.`
My invention relatesv to racks used for the support and display of globes, or spherical shaped jars, such as are used in connection with the vending of candy'or condiments.`
There are on the market devices designed particularly for the display of such globes, but so far as l' am advised, the present devices are not constructed so that they canbe shipped in a. flat folded shape without disassembling the parts, and in other ways are unduly inconvenient for economical manufacture and shipment.
lt is the object of my invention to provide a rack which is easily manufactured, and can be folded in a perfectly flat shape for shipment, and furthermore which requires essentially the use of two bolts only for securing the parts in position to present the rack, fully set up and ready for use. It is a further object as incidentalto the above, to provide a device, for supporting the globes or jars, which can be folded into a flat shape and when unfolded will form a strong and secured support for the base of said receptacles.
These objects and other advantages to be yindicated l accomplish by that certain construction and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more specifically pointed out and claimed.
ln the drawings,
Figure 1 is a front elevation of the device.
Figure 2 is a central vertical cross section on the line 2--2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a section on the line 3--3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4L is a. bottom plan view of the top shelf member.
Figure 5 is a perspective detail of one of the globe holding devices.
Figure 6 is a detail perspective of the bracket `for holding the globe lids, when it is desired to remove articles from one of the globes.
The frame proper of the' device comprises two side standards 1, 1, preferably of angle iron, connected by a top bar 2 of like iron welded thereto. Extending between the side standards are the supporting bars, for the globes.
'lhe bars are formed of straight bar iron, twisted sowas to present horizontal faces 3, for the globe mounting devices, and vertical faces 4;, 4, for mounting by suitable rivets to the side standards, and for mounting thereon the globe top supporting brackets The ktop shelf 6, of the device has a plurality of depending ears, 7 ,cut out and bent downwardly so as to straddle the top bar of the frame. vWith these ears acting as a supporting means, the use of a single bolt 8 is suflicient to mount theshelf on the rack, in setting it up for use.
The support for the frame comprises a pair of bars 9, 9, connected together by cross braces 10, 10. These bars 9 are provided preferably with castors 11, 11, at each end thereof, and the two bars are pivotally seed into a flat package, by merely releasing) the braces 13, and swinging the frame support on its pivots 12 to a position shown in dotted lines at A, in Figure 2. The lid brackets do not interfere in shipment of several racks together, and the shelves are placed inside of the frame during shipment,
so that a true flat package is provided, which is very simply set up.
The means for supporting the globes` are in the shape of prongs,v faced on the ends, if desiredr with rubber, and are capable of being swung into a straight line, during shipment. They comprise the two fingers 15, 15, bent up at the ends, and lying flat on the horizontal faces of the cross bars, being secured to said bars by suitable rivets or otherwise as desired.
There is a space left between the two ingers on the cross bars, of a width to seat the member 1G, which is held in place by means of a wing screw i7, set into the supiliorting bars intermediate the finger ends. The ends of the member 16 correspond to the ends ot' the finger l5, and all four ends may be equipped with rubber rings 18, if desired. These rubber rings retain the bowls in place well cushion the seat on which they rest.
Ey loosening the wing screw the member 16 m ,i be moved into a position of abutment along the i'inger members. Aand thus into a position datr with the iframe. They are secured `tast in this position during shipment, but in use are swung out at right angles to the fingers, whereupon they fall into the space between them and are held in place by the wing` screws. in a strongly braced position, as is evident from Figure 5.
The globes l!) are seated in the pronged mounting devices last above described, and the shape or these devices will. be subject to modification dependent upon the size and shape oi the globes or jars to be supported. The lids 20 of the globes or jars are normally oi. bottle stopper shape, and thus will be readily held by the brackets, above described..
lt is not desired that my invention be limited to the exact structure above described. because of my failure 'to point out equivalent mechanical substitutes 'for the parts noted.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is l. i rack, comprising single side standn ards of angle iron yand a single top member, :i frame support comprising end pieces with cross braces, the frame support pivotally mounted on said side standards to swing into positions parallel with or at asupporting angle to the side standards, braces on the frame support and means for removably securing them to the side standards.
2. A rack, comprising single side standards and a single top member, a frame sup port comprising end pieces with cross braces, the frame support pivotally mounted on said side standards to swing into positions parallel with or at a supporting angle to the side standards, braces on the frame support and means tor removably securing them to the side standards, said frame having cross members, and means on said cross members ior providing a four point mounting for al globe or. the like, said means being foldable to lie parallel to the said cross bars.
3. In a rack comprising single side standards and a single top cross bar, the combination with the top bar, or' a shelf member for mounting on said bar, said shelf having ears depending therefrom, and interspaced to straddle said bar, and a bolt for removably mounting said shelf on said bar.
4;.' In a device of the character described. the combination with a cross bar thereof, oi' a pair oi' fingers having i'iat portions permanently secured in spaced relation on the bar, said iingers having` upturned ends, a member having a, Hat portion and turned up portions at both ends thereof, said member being of a size to {it into the space between the fingers when swung` outwardly, and of a size to lie along and parallel with them when swung inwardly, and means for retaining said member in place in either outward or inward position.
