Patented June 24, 1930 PATENT OFFICE DODSON HASLUP, GRAFTON, WEST VIRGINIA Y DISPLAY CABINET Application led January 19, 1928. Serial No. 247,940.
rlhis invention relates to display cabinets and especially to the display of articles such as stockings, socks and the like which are formed of fabric and must therefore be care fully supported in display position. n
An object of the invention resides in the construction of such a display cabinet which, although of relatively small dimensions, is capable of neatly supporting in display position a large number of articles.
Another object of the invention consists in so designing a cabinet as to permit of the ready insertion and removal of articles without disturbing other articles displayed adj acent thereto. Y
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing; in whichl Figure 1 is a front elevation of the improved display cabinet.
Figure 2 is a vertical section through the cabinet, parts being broken away to more clearly show the construction; and Y Figure 3 is a fragmentary transverse section taken on line 3 3 of Figure 1.
Referring to the drawings more specifically, the numeral 1 designates the display cabinet generally, and this cabinet includes a bottom wall 2, back wall 3, sides 4L, top 5, and a front 6 provided with a transparent display panel 7 of glass or similar material. The front wall 6 is hinged at its bottom edge as indicated by numeral 8 and is provided with latches 9 by which the same may be secured in closed position. The rear wall 3 is also hinged at its lower edge as indicated by the numeral 10 and is provided with a latch 11 for locking it in closed position. 40 Either or both the front and back wall may be provided with knobs 12 by which these members may be manipulated.V
As already stated the particular object of the present invention is for the purpose 15 of Vdisplaying in a neat, attractive and compact manner a plurality of flexible articles such as mens and ladies hose. To this end there is mounted within the cabinet in the present embodiment of 'the invention four bars 13 which are provided with pairs of perforations 14 and 15; each pair of perforations consisting of a perforation 15 adjacent the front of the cabinet and a perforation 14 higher up in the rear row of perforations 14. These bars 13 are arranged in pairs as more clearly'indicated in Figure 3 and the perforations 14 and 15 thereof Aare adapted to receive the supporting pins 16 and 17 which are arranged in two series land preferably in staggered relation as indicated in the vertical sectional view shown in Figure 2. I
As also indicated in Figure 2 it will be seen that the hose is doubled over a pair of theV pins 16H17 so as to display only that portion of the hose which extends over the pins. t will be obvious that the number of pairs of hose displayed in a cabinet of a given size may be varied according to the spacing of the pins 16-17 vertically of the bars 13, depending upon the amount of the fabric of the hose which it is desired to display. In the present instance the cabinet is designed to display forty-eight pairs of hose, where the portion displayed is reduced to a minimum.
The bars 13 are secured at the top and `bottom of the cabinet and have mounted on the forward edges thereof label holders 18 of metal or the like, andadapted to receive labels bearing any desired indicia. Also mounted'within the cabinet are a plurality of locking bars 19, these being three in number in the present instance. These bars serve to lock the pins 16 and 17 within the apertures 14C and 15 by reason of their proximity to the ends of the pins thereby limiting the longitudinal movement of the pins with respect to the apertured bars 13 in which they are mounted. The bars 19 may be mounted in various ways in the cabinet, it only being necessary that they be readily movable to clear the ends of the pins 16 and 17 so as to permit the removal of the latter. AIn the present embodiment of the invention the bars 19 are shown as provided with projections or nibs 20 on their lower ends adapted to seat in recesses 2l formed in the bottom Wall 2 of the cabinet. The upper ends of the locking bars 19 may be secured in position behind the display front 6 by means of pivoted latches 22 which engage the upper ends of the bars.
In removing the pair of hose from the cabinet it is preferred to also remove the pair of pins on which the hose is supported. For this purpose it is only necessary that the bar 19 adjacent either of the ends of the pins be moved to a position o ut of alignment with the pins thereby permitting the latter to be moved longitudinally in either direction until the respective ends of the pins clear the apertures 121-15. The pins may then be moved in the opposite direction until they entirely clear the bars 13 at which time both the pins and the hose vmounted thereon may be removed from the cabinet. Also in placing a pair of hose Within the cabinet they are first doubled over a pair of the pins and the pins inserted in the apertures o the bars 13 in a manner similar to that just described.
To facilitate the insertion of the hose in and their removal from the cabinet, it is desirable to segregate the particular pair of hose from the other hose in the cabinet and particularly from the hose adjacent to the position of the hose being inserted or removed, so as to prevent the disarrangement of the adjacent hose by contact therewith. For this purpose I preferably employ two cardboard plates 23 as shown in Fig. 2. In removing the hose from the cabinet the rear door 3 being open, the cardboard plates are inserted at opposite sides of the hose to be removed thereby completely segregating the particular pair of hose from the adjacent pairs. The latch 22 is then moved so as to release the upper end of the pin locking bar 19 and the latter moved out of the Way so as to permit the particular pair of pins 16 and 17 to be moved in the manner heretofore described, so as to release them from the supporting bars 13. The hose may then be readily removed from the cabinet and as already stated, a pair of hose may be placed in the cabinet in substantially the same manner. It will thus be apparent that the hose may be readily removed or placed within the cabinet Without in any way disturbing the hose displayed adjacent thereto.
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings it will be observed that I`have devised an extremely neat and compact construction by which a large number of hose may be attractively displayed in a small space without unduly restricting their handling for sales purposes. Furthermore, it will be apparent that I have devised an extremey novel arrangement by which portions of many pairs of hose may be displayed in substantially the same plane, thereby facilitating comparison of designs, colors, quality, etc.
In accordance with the patent statutes I have described what I now believe to be the best embodiment of the invention, but I do not Wish to be understood thereby as limiting myself or t-he scope of the invention, as many changes and modications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention; all such I aim to include in the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A display cabinet including a rece tacle, a transparent front for said receptac e, a pluralit of perforated bars disposed behind sai front and connected to said cabinet, pins arranged in pairs and havin their ends mounted in said perforations, an locking bars in said cabinet to prevent endwise displacement of said pins.
2. A display cabinet including a rece tacle, a transparent front for said receptac e, a plurality of apertured bars disposed behind said front and connected to said cabinet, pins arranged in pairs and having their ends mounted in the apertures of said bars, locking bars in said receptacle for preventing endwise displacement of said pins, and means for removably supporting said locking bars so as to permit removal of said pins.
3. A display cabinet including a receptacle, a transparent front for said receptacle, a plurality of apertured bars disposed behind said front and connected to said cabinet, pins arranged in pairs and having their ends mounted 1n the apertures of said bars, locking bars in said receptacle for preventing endwise displacement of said pins, and means for removably supporting said locking bars, said means including latches for engaging said bars.
