This invention relates to display racks.
Objects of this invention are to provide a display rack which will support articles on exhibition on a shelf or suitable support and at such an angle as will correctly and attractively display the same.
Further objects are to provide a display rack which is made from a single piece of sheet material, which is readily attached to the end of a shelf or other support, which is provided with a brace for holding the device in its correct angular position, and which is provided with means for engaging the shelf or support to lock the device in place.
Further objects are to provide a display device which may be readily stamped from sheet metal in a simple and cheap manner, and in which an attractive appearance is attained.
An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan view of the device as it appears when applied to the support.
Figure 2 is a side view of the structure shown in Figure 1 showing the support in section. I
Referring to the drawings, it will be seen that the display rack comprises a piece of sheet metal, which is provided with a top portion 1 adapted to extend substantially horizontally from the edge of the shelf 2, as shown in Figure 1. This top portion is provided with a down ardly turned pin or burr 3 which constitutes a fastening means adapted to be forced into the shelf and such top portion preferably consists of two outer arms leaving an intermediate central portion. This intermediate portion'is punched downwardly from the top portion and provides a brace l, and the end of the brace is rounded to form 5 I a cam, as indicated at 5, and is adapted to bear against the vertical face of the shelf or support, and to thus rigidly brace or hold the device in an outwardly extending position.
The bony portion 6 of the display rack constitutes an integral continuation of the top portion and brace, and is preferably slightly enlarged at its central portion and provided with scalloped or otherwise ornamentally shaped edges, and with an upturned lip or ear 7 adapted to engage the heel of the shoe, or other article to be displayed, and hold same in position. If desired, this body portion may be provided with one or more punched openings 8 in order to lighten it and enhance its attractiveness. The lower part of the body portion 6 is preferably slightly enlarged position, shown in Figure 2, and correctly positions it for the reception and display of a 7 shoe, or other article. The shoe is placed upon the slanting portion of the rack with its heel resting against the lip? and with the toe portion resting upon the open work lower end of the body portion.
It will further be seen that a display rack has been provided which is of extremely sim-- ple and strong construction, which may be easilyapplied to a shelf or other support,
which is braced and held outwardly therefrom in a rigid and substantial manner, and which is of attractive and pleasing appearance. v
While the drawing illustrates a rack which is particularly designed for use in displaying a shoe, obviously the rack may be used to display any articles to bevended, as, for example canned goods, boxes, or the like. In some instances, the marginal portion 9, or outer end of the rack, may be bent upwardly to form a horizontal supporting shelf. It will alsobe understood that while I have shown only one tongue 7 upset from the body of the shelf, a series of such tongues in some cases may be formed for holding various articles.
The primary feature is the arrangement of the brace 4 with its circular cammed endoperating in conjunction with the tongue or burr 3, whereby the shelf is rigidly supported.
Although the invention has been'described in considerable detail, it is to be understood that the invention may be variously embodied and 1s, therefore, to be limited as claimed.
I claim A display rack formed of sheet metal and integral throughout and comprising a downwardly and forwardly extending portion, an approximatelyhorizontal top member having a prong struck downwardly and forward ly therefrom and adapted to project into a horizontal portion of a support having approximately horizontal and vertical faces, a
brace extending rearwardly from the body heel engagingv tongue struck upwardly from portion belo wthe-top' portion and approxrthe body portion. mately paralleling the top portion of the In testimony that I claim the foregoing I 10 device and having a terminal portion adapted have hereunto set my hand at Milwaukee, in
5 to bear against the vertical face of the sup the county of Milwaukee and State of Us port, said terminal portion acting as a fulconsin. crum during attachment of the device, and a ELMER A. DE KARSKE. J
