DISPLAY DEVICE.
Application filed October 8, 1925, Serial Our invention relates to improvements in display devices and the object of the invention is to construct a device in which goods placed thereon are all visible to the prospective customer and can be handled by him.
A further object is to construct a device with a series of superimposed adjustable shelves of variable depth in order that the upper shelves will not obstruct the view of the goods on the lower shelves.
A. still further object is to devise means whereby the shelves can be tilted transversely in order that the back will be higher than the front.
Another object is to devise means for plac ing an advertising card or a card setting forth the nature of the goods on the upper portion of the device, said card being removable therefrom.
Our invention consists of a device constructed and arranged all as hereinafter more particularly described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which Fig. 1 represents a perspective view of our device.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the back of the device brokenaway intermediately and showa nut ing the right hand side in section.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged elevational detail of the right hand upper corner of the back.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged vertical cross section through the back showing the means for adj ustably supporting the shelves, the shelf in this instance being shown in a substantially horizontal position.
Fig. 5 is a similar view to Figure 4, showing the shelf tilted so that the back is higher than the front.
Like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different views.
1 is the base of the display case having its front provided with a longitudinal recess 2 so as to obviate a person looking at the case from marking the base with his feet. 3 is the back of the case suitably secured to the base,
said back including the vertical side members 4 having on their inner faces the grooves 5, the upper portions of such grooves receiving the panel card 6 which is adapted to have printed thereon any suitable advertising matter such as a description of the goods on the respective shelves of the case. The upper edge of the card 6 is adapted to fit into a groove 7 in the transverse rail 8 which is provided withtongues 9 at its ends inserted into No. 61,821, and in Canada Kay 27, 1826..
the grooves 5 in the side rails. 10 are vertical rails secured to the front face of the back 3 and each rovided with apart key ole slots 11.
12 are shelves of varying depths. the up er shelf being narrower than the shelf next lielow 1t, and so on down to the bottom shelf which is the widest.
13 is a head on the forward edge of each shelf adapted to extend above the upper surgoods slipping forwardly provided on the threaded portion. The extremity of the threaded portion extends into one of the keyhole slots 11.
20 1s a bolt with an enlarged'head 21 and 22, sald bolt being adapted to extend through a vertical portion of the brackets 14 lntermediately of'the height of the same and the head 21 inserted into the keyhole slot and the bolt slid down thereinto whereby such bolt holds the bracket in place when the nut 22 1S tightened up. The lower extremit of the brace 18, which, as above describe is inserted into a. keyhole slot 11 prevents the bracket from twisting. I
23 is a subsidiary hinged bracket, the vert cal portion of which is provided with :1 Iongitudinal slot 24 adapted to receive a bolt 25 with an enlarged head 26 and a nut 27, said bolt being adapted to be inserted into a keyhole slot 11 and pushed down thereinto whereby the bolt upon the nut 27 being ti htened up holds the bracket in place, said racket being hinged to the shelf 12 as is clearly illustrated in Figures 4 and 5 of the drawing.
1 From the above description it will be noted that our shelves can be adjusted vertically as desired by merely inserting the bolts 20 and 25 into the required keyhole slots 11. WVhere it is desired that the shelf shall lie horizontally the bracket 23 is in the position illustrated in Figure 4 and the bolt 25 in the required keyhole slot 11, but where it is de sired to tilt the shelf it is only necessary to a plurality of spaced loosen the nut 25 and pull up the brackets 4 23 into the position illustrated in Figure 5 and then tighten the nuts 27 again. If a further inclination is required for the shelves 12 the bolts 25 can be removed from the particular keyhole slots 11 and placed in the keyhole slots next above.
The slots 16 are provided in the horizontal portion of the brackets 14 so that the screws 17 can slide therein when it is desired to incline the shelves 12 into the position illustrated in Figure 5.
From the above description it will be apparent that we have devised a simple and effective display, device that will enable the goods thereon to be viewed and handled by the prospective customer, and, moreover, have devised shelves that can be readily adjusted to the required position, depending upon the goods that are used in conjunction therewith, also providing means whereby the shelves can be suitably tilted to more clearly expose to view certain classes of goods.
We have, in addition, devised a display device in which the weight of the goods on-the base 1 will prevent the whole case overturning, due to the weight of the goods on the shelves attached to the back.
What we claim as our invention is:
1. In a display device, the combination with a back and a shelf, of a shelf supporting bracket detachably and vertically adjustably secured to the back, said shelf being slidably secured to the bracket in the vicinity of its forward edge, and a subsidiary bracket hinged to the. back of the shelf and adjustably and detachably secured to the back.
' 2. In a display device, in combination a back portion, a shelf supporting bracket secured to the back portion, a shelf slidably secured in the vicinity of its forward edge to the bracket, and means for raising the back edge of the shelf and securing it to the back portion at a point above Where the bracket is secured to such back portion.
3. In a display device, in combination a back ortion, a shelf supporting bracket detachah the back portion, a shelf slidably secured in the vicinity of its forward edge to the bracket, and adjustable securing means for raising the back edge of the shelf and securing it. to the back portion at a point above Where the bracket is secured to such back portion.
