SAMUEL GOLDBERG, OF vNEGV' YORK, N. Y.. PORATION, 0F NEW` YORK, N. Y.,
ASSIGNOR TO 'UNIVERSAL FIXTURE COR- A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.
DISPLAY FIXTURE.
Application led February 23, 1921.
T0 all 'whom t may concern Be it known that I, SAMUEL GOLDBERG, a citizen of the United States, and resident of the borough of Manhattan, in the city, county7 and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Display Fixtures, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in display fixtures, and has for its objects to provide a simple and inexpensive fixture of compact construction for effectively displaying books, magazines, picture post cards, and other articles, and to provide a revolving display lfixture constructed of parts of light weight which may be lvery easily assembled and taken apart.
In the drawings, Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the fixture;
Fig. 2 a perspective view of one of the removable rows kof article-holding frames;
Fig. 3v a horizontal section on the line III- III of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 4 a vertical section on the line IV-IV of Fig. 3, onlyone row of articleliolding frames being shown. i
The base of the fixture comprises a light metal casting having three supporting legs 1 of channel form extending radially outward and downward from a central hub 2 A provided with a socket or standard-receiving passage 3. A tubular metal standard 4 has its lower end detachably and non-rotatably held in socket 3, said standard being locked in the socket by af set screw 5 threaded through the hub portion 2 ot the base. rllhe lower revolving` head ot thanxture comprises a light metal casting having a hub portion 6 loose on standard 4 and connected by radial arms 7 with a dat annular rim 8. The lower end of hub 6 of this head rests on the upper end of the central portion. or hub 2 oi the base. The upper revolving head comprises a sheet metal `disk 9 loosely mounted `on standard 4 and preferably having its periphery pressed downwardly to form a stiening rim 10.
Several vertical rows of three-sided channel frames are detachably connected to the two revolving heads, each vertical row of Jframes lying in a plane tangential to a circle described about the standard 4. Each arti- Serial No. 447,056.
cle-holding frame is formed of a single piece of sheet metal and comprises a top wall 11, a bottom wall 12, and one vertical .side wall 18. The top wall of each frame 1s provided with depending article-retaining flanges 14 along its inner and outer edges, the bottom wall is provided with upstanding edge flanges 15, and the side wall 13 is provided with inwardly extending edge flanges 16. The abutting walls 11 and 12 of all of the frames in each row are spotwelded to each other, and two vertical rods 17 and 18 are spot-welded tothe inner face of each row of `trames. Rod 17 is welded to the flanges 14 and 15 at the inner ace of each frame, adjacent the open side of the frame, and rod 18 is welded to theVr flange 16 at the inner face ofeach frame.
The upper ends of rods 17 and 18 project above the top wall of the uppermost frame in the row'and engage in apertures in the upper headr 9. The lower ends of the rods project below the bottom wall of the lowermost frame in the row and engage in apertures in rim 8 of `the lower head. The apertures in which rods 17 engage are located adjacent the outer edge of the rim, and they apertures in which rods 18 engage are located adjacent the inner edge of the rim, so that thelowermost frame is seated on the rim 8 of the lower head throughout the major portion of the area of its bottom wall. The rod-receiving apertures in the heads are so located that each row of frames lies in a plane tangential to a circle described about the axis of rotation of the series of rows of frames, and so that the side walls 13 of the `Jframes in each row are located wholly inside the open sides-of the frames in the next row, the Walls 13 of one row of frames being overlapped by the next row of frames. This arrangement permits the assembly of a large number of vertical rows of frames between heads of small diameter without obscuring any part of the open outer. faces of the frames.
The upper head 9 is held clamped upon the top walls of the upper frames in the several rows by means of a collar 19 detachably locked on standard 4 by a set screw 20 and engaging the upper face of the head 9. It will be obvious that by loosening the collar 19 and liftinghead 9, the several rows of rigidly connected pockets may be readily removed. It will also be obvious that the two revolving heads may be readily slipped on and off the standard 4, and that the standard may be readily disconnected from the base.
