DISPLAY RACK FOR FOLDING TABLES OR LIKE ARTICLES Fi-ied Oct. 6, 1926 7715611282": Ml R. Chu/bbu/ck,
Patented Nov. 12, 1929 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE PAUL R. CHUBBUGK, OF STREATOR, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR T METAL STAMPINGS CORPORATION, OF STREATOR, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS DISPLAY RACK FOR FOLDING- TABLES OR LIKE'ARTICLES Application filed October 6, 1926. Serial No. 139,769.
This invention relates to display racks and more particularly to a rack for holding a plurality of folded card tables or like articles in a'neat and orderly arrangement for display purposes.
The objects of the invention are to provide a rack which will clearly display the articles to be shown; to provide a rack which will hold a number of articles of the class men- 0 tioned in a neat and orderly arrangement and permit easy withdrawal of any one of the number from the rack without scratching or marring the article, and to provide a rack which will support the articles at a distance above the floor so as to keep them relatively clean and in saleable condition.
Other objects of the invention are to provide a display rack of the above described class which may be shipped knocked-down by the manufacturer to the purchaser and which may be readily assembled by the purchaser without the use of tools; to provide such a rack which will be comparatively strong and rigid but light in weight and attractive in appearance, and in general to provide an improved display rack structure.
Other objects and the advantages of the invention will be readily understood by refer ence to the following specification in connection with the accompanying drawings in which I have illustrated a selected embodiment of my invention and wherein:
I Fig. 1 is a perspective of the complete rack, and
, Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the lower portion of the display rack.
Referring now to the drawings, a base for my improved rack comprises a pair of base blocks 10 and 11 connected by a pair of tie rods 12 whereby they are spaced apart and held in proper cooperative relation. Holding means or spacer members extend upwardly from the upper surfaces of the base blocks 10 r land 11 and comprise wickets or inverted U- shaped brackets 13, which are spaced apart at a distance sufficiently to permit the insertion {of the article to be displayed therebetween and whereby the articles may be maintained in substantially vertical planes.
I also find it convenient and desirable to provide means for displaying an advertising card or the like in connection with the article display, and for this purpose I provide a pair of upstanding rods 14 and 15, which may be secured to the respective base blocks in any suitable way and which are provided at their upper ends with means for supporting an advertising card. In the present instance I have shown these upstanding rods as being bent inwardly as at 16 and 17 and provided with "short upwardly extending portions 18 and 19, lwhich are adapted to receive sockets 20 and 21 thereover. Sockets 20 and 21 may be integral parts of a card-holder 22 on which may be secured in any suitable way an advertising card indicated at 23, which may bear any desirable advertising matter or insignia, as indicated by the words Trade-mark.
- lables T, for example, to be displayed are placed edgewise with their tops in a substantia-lly verticalplane between adjacent spacer members 13, as best shown in Fig. 2. The upstanding rods 14 and 15 are also adapted to act as spacer members, as will be readily understood from an inspection of Fig. 2. The base blocks 10 and 11, being of a substantial height, are effective to support the'tables at a distance from the floor, whereby they are kept clean of floor dirt, which otherwise would tend to collect on the lower portions of the *table tops. I
It will be understood that by providing asmall amount of clearance between adjacent wickets and the table inserted therebetween, the table maybe easily withdrawn therefrom and therefore will not likely be scratched or marred as it is withdrawn. In order to render the rack capable of being shipped knocked-down and to enable the user to easily assemble the rack without the use of tools or other equipment, I mount the connecting rods 12, spacer members 13 and upright rods 14 and 15 in the base blocks 10 and 11 by drilling suitable holes or otherwise providing sockets in the respective base blocks, so that the ends of the various members may be easily forced thereinto and yet be held therein with sufficient tightness to maintain the parts in proper operative position.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the ,broadly as possible of the art.
art that various changes may be made in the form and construction of my improved display rack without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined by the following claims, which I desire to have construed as consistent with the state I claim as my invention:
1. In a display rack of the class described, the combination of a pair of substantially like base blocks, a pair of spaced rods connecting and maintaining said base blocks in fixed, spaced relation, a plurality of spaced wickets extending upwardly from each of said base blocks to form a plurality of open ended pockets on each of said base blocks, the pockets on one base block being aligned with the pockets on the other, thereby forming spaced pairs of longitudinally separated, open ended pockets adapted to receive spaced lower marginal portions of the articles to be displayed, and means for displaying advertising matter or the like comprising a pair of supports respectively extending upwardly from the said base blocks intermediate aligned pairs of wickets on said base blocks, said aligned pairs of wickets being spaced apart substantially a double width so as to form full sized, article receiving pockets on both sides of said supports, a sign holder mounted on the upper ends of said supports, the latter extending upwardly high enough to support said sign in a visible position over the upper edges of the articles displayed, all of said pockets being adapted to receive singly, the articles to be displayed and said base blocks serving to support said articles at an elevation from the floor or other surface.
2. A display rack comprising a pair of spaced base blocks, a rod connection detachably connecting and spacing the blocks, a series of upright wall members rising from each block and successively spaced to form article receiving pockets open at their tops and at their inner and outer upright edges, the respective pockets of the two blocks being 'in mutual alignment to receive the opposite end portions of an article supported on the blocks, upright rods rising from the oppositely disposed blocks and extending above the tops of the wall members, and an advertising panel connecting the upper ends of the upright rods, said upright rods being disposed between adjacent wall members and defined therewith article receiving pockets at opposite sides of the said upright rods.
