DISPLAY STAND.
Application filed October 24, 1927. Serial No. 228,385.
placement when in the form of containers with merchandise in bulk, such for instance as candy, during the scooping up of the merchandise in dispensing.
Thus the dispenser must use one hand to steady the container while the other is operating the scoop, which is inconvenient, for
a it is desirable that one hand be free to hold,
the bag or other receptacle into which the merchandise is transferred.
One of the primary objects of the present invention is the provision of a support of the character specified, designed to a plurality of similar containers in sim lar relation, and easily accessible for dlspenslng, wherein each container is firmly supported against lateral displacement in any direction.
Another object is the provision of'a stand capable of being folded into a relatively small and compact bulk for transportatlon or storage.
Another object is the provision of a light- Weight stand of pleasing appearance, and capable of manufactureat a relatlvely small cost. 1
With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction and novel combination of parts fully described hereinafter, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims appended hereto, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion, s1 ze and minor details of construction Witlllll the scope of the claims, may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings forming a part hereof Fig. l is a perspective view of the improved stand extended.
Fig. 2 is a similar view with the stand folded. 1
Fig. 3 is a detail in perspective of a part of the stand, showing the cover connection.
In the present embodiment of the invention, the improved stand includes a pair of legs 1 of suitable material, connected at suitable intervals by cross bars 2, and pivoted at their upper ends to a support 3, in the present instance a tray. Referring to Fig. 1, it will be seen that the cross bars are in rear ofthe legs, abutting the rear edges thereof and'bent onto the outer faces, the bent portions being riveted or otherwise connected-t0 the legs.
The legs are pivoted to the ends of the support near the front thereof, and a bar 4 is pivoted to each end of the support near the rear side, the bars 4 extending substantially parallel with the legs, in spaced relation, and of less length than the legs as clearly shown.
An easel support including legs .5 is
connected to the bars, each leg 5 being pivotally connected to the adjacent leg near the top thereof, as indicated at 6. A detachable connection is provided between each leg 5 and the adjacent bar 4, the connection being indicated at 7, and including a screw bolt passing through registering openings in the leg and the bar,,and held in place by a wing nut as shown. j
The legs 5 of the easel support are connected by crossed inclined braces 8, engaging the rear edges of the legs, and having angular portions lapping on the outer faces of the legs, and riveted ,or otherwise secured thereto as shown at 9. The lower ends of the legs 1 and 5 are preferably providedwith rounded and ornamental feet shown at 10, and formed by suitable bending of the material of the legs.
The bars 4 are connected at suitable inter-- vals by U-shaped oryoke members, each in cluding a body 11 and arms 12 and 13. The arms 12 and 13 are pivoted to the bars 1 and to the legs 1. Each arm 12 and 13 as clearly, shown is pivotally. connected to a bar 4;, and to a leg 1, the connections being indicated at 14 and 15 respectively, and the members are so positioned with respect to the cross bars 2 that each member is approximately midway between two adjacent cross bars.
In the present instance four cross bars 2 are provided, and there are three spaces between adjacent cross bars. In each of these spaces a U-shaped member is arranged, and
referring to Fig. 1, it will be seen that the arm 13 of each member is of greater length than the arm 12, so that the arm 13 has an extension 16 extending above the frame constituted by the legs 1 and the cross bars when the stand is 'in extended position; Each of these extensions is longitudinally slotted as shown at 17 .for a purpose to be described, and a frame 18 is supported by each U-shaped member.
Each of the U-shaped members and the frame 18 carried thereby constitutes a support for a container, in the present instance a pail, and the frame 18 is shaped to fit the container, being circular in the present instance to fit a pail. The bottom of the pall, when the stand is in use, rests upon the body 11 of the U-shaped member, and the frame 18 embraces the container to hold it in place. It will be obvious that the frame will correspond in outline to the shape of the container it is adapted to hold.
Each of the frames 18 is held in a position with its plane at substantially a right angle to the plane of the adjacent U- shaped support by means of a strut 19. Each of the struts 19 is pivoted to the frame 18 at the rear thereof, so that it may swing into the plane of the frame, as shown in Fig. 2, ,or at right angles thereto, as shown in Fig. 1. The end of each strut remotefrom the frame has an angular perforated portion 20, which when the stand is extended, and the frame 18 at substantially a right angle to the plane of the frame of the U-shaped member will lap upon the cross bar 2 just above the frame, and the perforation in the angular portion 20 will register with an opening 21 in the cross bar. Through this opening a screw bolt is passed, and engaged by a wing nut, the connection being indicated at 22. The lower ends of the legs 10 are braced against the lowermost cross bar by inclined braces 23, and the easel support is held in extended'position by means of foldable struts 2a, which are the arms of a yoke, including the arms and a body 25. The body 25 extends between the legs 5 of the easel support, and the arms are pivoted on the rivets 9, near their connection with the body 25. The forward ends of the arms are adapted to be detachably connected with thelegs 1 below the lowermost cross bar 2, the detachable connection indicated at 26 including a screw bolt and a wing nut as shown.
During transportation or storage, the stand may be folded as shown in Fig. 2. The struts 19 are first released from the cross bars 2, and swung into the position of Figure 2, that is in the planes of the frames 18. The connections 26 are then released, and the yoke 2%25 is folded back into the plane of the easel support. The bars 4 are releasably connected with the tray, the connection being indicated at 27, and including screw bolts and wing nuts. This connection is released and enables the bars 41 to move longitudinally with respect to the bars 1, and against the same, at the same time swinging the Ushaped members 111213 so that the arms 12-13 lie in substantial parallelism with the legs 1. Afterwards the frames 18 are turned into position of Fig. 2, and the stand is completely folded into a compact form. Extending the stand is a reversal of these operations.
The containers, in the present instance pails, indicatedat 28 when placed in display position have the tops removed, and replaced by covers 29, which usually carry a plate of glass, to enable the contents of the containers to be inspected. Each of the covers is hinged to a strap 30 longitudinally slotted as shown at 31 to register with the slot 17 of an extension 16.
After the container has been placed in the frame, the strap is brought into register with the adjacent extension, and a screw bolt is passed through the registering slots of the strap and the extension, and is engaged by a wing nut, the bolt and nut being indicated at 32. This arrangement enables the cover to be swung out of position over the container to permit access to the contents thereof.
What is claimed as new is 1. A display stand including a pair of legs connected at spaced intervals by cross bars, a U-shaped member between each. pair of adjacent cross bars, each member comprising a body and arms, an open frame between the-arms of each member, a pivotalconneo tion between each arm, the frame and the adjacent leg, a link or bar pivotally connecting the corresponding arms of the U-shaped port comprising a pair of rear legs braced against each other pivotally connected to the first named legs near the top thereof, means for detachably connecting the legs of the .easel support to the links or bars to hold the stand extended, other means for detachably connecting the easel support to the first named legs near the lower end thereof, and a strut arranged between each frame and the next upper cross bar to hold the frame at substantially a right angle to its U-shaped support when the stand is extended, said strut being detachably connected with the.v
. members near the body thereof, an easel supplanes, including an easel support for supporting the stand in upright position, and means for holding the frames in a common plane.
3. A display stand including a plurality of holders for similar articles, each holder including a support for the bottom of the article, and an open frame to encircle the article in spaced relation from the bottom support and connected to said bottom support, an easel supported frame in which the holders are journaled, and mechanism to hold the holders in like relation, said mechanism including means to holdv the bottom supports in substantially the same plane, and the open frames in a common parallel plane. Y
4- A display stand including a pair of spaced-connected legs, a plurality of holders pivoted between the legs, each holder in cluding a bottom support for an article and a frame to encircle the article in spaced relation with respect to the bottom support, said support and frame being foldable with respect to each other into the plane of the frame, means for holding each holder in a definite position with respect to the frame,
and with the plane of the holding frames in parallelism, and an easel support in connection with the stand and foldable with respect to the legs.
