DISPLAY CASE.
Application filed June 8, 1926, Serial No.
The invention relates to improvements in display cases for advertising or other purposes, its objects being to provide display. chambers for insertion in such cases in the usual manner, which however are adjustable in size to suit all requirements, and are readily dismountable for transport. 7
With these objects in view the invention provides a display chamber comprising a rear wall and side walls extending forwardly therefrom, said walls being constructed from frames built up of interengaging side and corner pieces on which the canvas or the liketo be displayed is stretched. Preferablyv the frame pieces are each provided with squared dowel pins at one end and a corresponding hole in the other end, whereby they may be readily assembled or dismembered. The frames are simply connected at their abutting edges. It is evident that in this manner the frames can be prepared atthe factory of standard dimensions and can be supplied directly for any size of showcase, can be very readily transported and fitted up on the spot. Further they may be readily taken to pieces or made into a different size as desired.
In the accompanying drawing illustrating the invention, Figure 1' shows the device in front perspective View and Fig. 2 in plan. Fig. 8 shows one of the stretching frames in front elevation, Fig. 4 shows same in vertical cross-section, and Figs. 5 and 6 show the frame members in detail to an enlarged scale. The display chamber proper is partitioned off from the show case or display window a which is closed at the front by a window 1, by a background 3 and two side walls 4. The background 3 and walls are stood on the floor fZ of the show caseand consist of light frames on which is stretched material serving for decoration, the vertical abutting edges being provided with simple devices by means of which they can be connected so as to be readily detachable. For example, for this purpose, eyes 5 may be mounted at the top and bottom of each adjacent vertical member of the frames, so that they can be connected by means of wire or thread. The side walls t may be braced together by one or more rods, stays or wires 12 (Figure 2). These rods may be placed at the top or bottom of the side walls or both.
The frame members 6, advantageously consisting of wood, support the edges of the 114,565, and in Germany June 16, 1925.
By the assembly of the frames of such pieces economical manufacture in the production of the frames is extraordinarily facilitated. As is readily seen from four angle pieces and convenient numbers of frame pieces of two or three different lengths, it is possible to make very quickly stretching frames of different size, and thus'to prepare for any show case to be fitted, suitable rear and side Walls, which afford the desired enclosed display space by merelyeonneeting their rear abutting edges.
interfitting squared dowel connection, said corner and side pieces each having a squared pin at one end and a corresponding squared hole at the other end, the pin at the end of one piece being adapted to fit into. the hole in the end of the adjacent piece, display sheets det-aehably mounted on said frames, means for detachably securing said frames at adjaeent edges and means for bracing said frames together.
