H. G; THOMSON SIGN STAND Filed April 16, 1925 Patented June 9, 1925.
HERBERT G. THQMSON, OF NEW YO-RK, N. Y.
SIGN- STAND.
Application filed April 16, 1925. Serial No. 23,441.
T 0 all whom it may con-com.
Be it known that I, Hnnenn'r G. THOMSON, a citizen of the United States, and resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sign Stands, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to that type of sign stands in which a metal frame is supported in upright position by a suitable base; the object of my inventlon belng to furnish a simple, inexpensive and durable sign stand possessing great strength, rigidity and relative lightness.
To this end the invention comprises novel features of construction and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings- Figure 1 is a front elevation of a sign stand embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the base of the stand.
Fig. 3 is a detail of one corner of the frame structure, showing its connection with the base.
Fig. 4. is a horizontal section, as on the line 1-4 of Fig. 8.
Referring to the drawings, 5 designates two juxtaposed corresponding frame sections, of generally rectangular form, between which the vertical and upper edges of the sign 6 are interposed and the whole securely fastened together, as by bolts 7. Each section comprises a bar, preferably of angle iron, bent to form a top member 8 and two depending side members 9. The associated sections, with the interposed sign therein, are connected by lower cross-bars 10, 10, respectively, which clamp the lower edge of the sign, and which bars are secured together and to the side members 9, immedi' ately below the sign, by means of bolts 11, or the like, thus providing a rigid structure effectually framing and supporting the sign. This structure is mounted on and supported by a base comprising, preferably, a channel bar bent to U-form to receive and support the lower portion of the structure. The horizontal member 12 of the channel bar is provided near its respective ends with archlike supports 13, the free ends of which are bent horizontally outward to afford substantial feet 14. Each of the supports 13 is composed of channel iron, the ribs 15 of which are welded to those of the base mem' ber 12, thus ensuring a rigid integral base structure.
The lower cross-bars 10 of the frame structure are spread or spaced apart at or adjacent their ends, as at 16, and are detachably secured to the base by bolts 17 which depend between and below the spaced portions of the bars; the head of each bolt being entered into and supported by corresponding openings 18 in the bars, as shown. The base bar 12 and the tops of the respective arch members 13 are suitably perforated vertically for the passage of the depending bolts 17 and the lower ends of the latter are equipped with nuts 19 which can be screwed hard against the opposing under sides of the respective arch members in a manner to clamp and lock the frame and base structures firmly together.
The adjacent side members 9 of the associated framesections have riveted or otherwise fastened thereto tie plates 20 with depending lugs or clips 21 which are offset from said members and positioned to receive, with a tight fit, the upper ends of the adjacent upstanding side members, 22, of the base when the latter and the frame are assembled. These clips maintain the members 22 in close contact with the respective sides of the frame and contribute to the rigid and substantial union of the base and the frame elements.
My invention is not limited to the details of construction herein disclosed, as the device may be modified within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claims.
I claim- 1. A sign stand comprising two juxtaposed corresponding frame sections connected to support a sign therebetween, said sections composed of angle bars bent to form top and side members, and cross-bars secured to and connecting the lower ends of the side members of the respective bars, a base structure, and detachable connections between the cross-bars and said structure.
2. A sign stand comprising a sectional frame structure including two lower bars fastened together and having spaced apart nected With the base structure, the heads of said bolts being seated in the openings of the bars.
3, In a sign stand, a frame structure, and a base therefor comprising a channel bar bent to U-forrn and embracing the lower end of the said structure, and channel members bent into arch-form and having their ribs Welded to the said channel bar.
4. In a sign stand, a frame structure, and a base therefor including a supporting bar bent to U-form and embracing the lower end of the frame structure, means for detachably securing said bar to the frame structure, and clip members on the sides of said structure to receive the upstanding ends of the supporting bar.
5. A sign stand comprising a sectional frame structure including two lower bars fastened together and having spaced apart portions with Wall openings therein, a base including a supporting member having upstanding end portions embracing the sides of the frame structure, depending belts interposed between said bars and connected With the base, the heads of said bolts being seated in the openings of the said bars, and clip members on the sides of the frame structure to receive the upstanding end portions of the said supporting, member.
Signed at New York, in the county and. State of New York, this 15th day of April A. D. 1925.
HERBERT G. THOMSON.
