DEMONSTRATI NG DISPLAY STAND FOR ELASTIC BELTS Application filed June 11,
This invention relates to means for displaying such articles as belts, garters and the like, and at the same time provldlng for their ready demonstration, particularly in connection with such articles as are n tentionally resilient. An object of the 1n vention is to provide such an apparatus which shall be inexpensive, pleasing of appearance, and eificient in carrying out the purpose of mounting such articles for display upon a store counter or the like. An object of the invention also is to provide such an apparatus as will cooperate functionally to harness mechanical principles in 1 combination with a belt Or similar article for the general purpose as set forth.
The invention is pointed out more technically in the following claim, which is directed to illustrative embodiments described in the following specification and shown in the accompanying drawings solely for purposes of illustration and not limitation.
In the drawings, Fig. 1 is a perspective View of apparatus embodying the invention, and showing its combination in dash lines with an article being supported and demonstrated; Fig. 2, is a plan view of the apparatus; and Fig. 8 is a perspective View drawn to a reduced scale showing a modification.'
A supporting pedestal A comprises a suitably extensive preferably disc-shaped base 1, and an upstanding central post 2. Upon the pedestal may be mounted an advertising plate 3.
A resistor B is supported by the post 2 preferably centrally of its length, and may conveniently comprise a bow or bar thrust through and glued in a suitable perforation 3.
Horizontally spaced distenders C ar preferably formed as turned bosses to provide outwardly facing surfaces 4 and 5, the bosses being mounted in any suitable manner pref- 15 erably fixedly to the ends of the resistor B, as by thrusting the ends of the resistor into suitably formed radial perforations 6 and 7 where they may be glued. The outwardly facing parts of surfaces of these bosses 4: and

of a right cylinderof revolution it is not intended by the use of the term cylindrical surface to limit the construction to a surface of revolution, but the term cylindrical surface? includes any surface generated by a' line moving parallel to itself and following a curve; As theobject of the surfaces 4 and 5 is to hold the belt in proper position without causing sharp bends in it, it is considered within the scope of the invention,
if the surfaces d and 5 are not actually curved, to present such a contour as will not cause a sharp bendin the belt which forcibly engages these surfaces. The distenders C are preferably of substantial extent or width crosswise of their separation, that is, crosswise of the resistor B, so that when opposite spans 8 and 9 of a belt D are looped about the distender C to be curved' at its ends into curved portions 10 and 11 that the spans 8 and 9 will have substantial U separation and so that ready en agement by a finger '12 may be had with the interior face 1% of span 8 or the interior face 15 of span 9, readily to demonstrate its stretchability and so also as to give a substantially unobstructed free display of these interior faces of the belt as well as of its exterior faces.
Functionally the belt D looped about the faces of the distenders 10 and 11 exerts a forcible inward thrust or stress upon these distenders which is resisted by the resistor B which in turn supports the distenders together with the weight of the belt against gravity. In addition to the provisions of the outwardly facing surfaces for shaping the ends of the belt loop into gentle curves of a radius greater than that which can cause injury to the belt, it is preferred that positive means he provided for fixing the horizontal positioning of the belt and to prevent its slipping downwardly oflf the distenders C 1n the embodiments illustrated. This is provided by turning integrally with the distenders C an outstandin lower flange 16 for one distender and 17 or the other. It, however, is of course to be understood that this additional provision for engaging the lower edge 19 of the belt is by no means w of necessity limited to a construction intefil with the distenders.
the modification of Fig. 3 the distendare C are not supported by the resistor B, but are formed as the upper part of a wood turning, the bottom of which comprises a pedestal, A, the upper portion of which iestal provides the flanges 16 and 17. e resistor B is also shown mounted in sockets 20 and 21 providedrin the upper 20 portion of the pedestal A.
What I claim and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is 2- A demonstrating display stand for belts and the like, comprising two horizontally 5 s ced distenders, having outwardly positloned and outwardly facing surfaces free from sharp ed s capable of imparting a sharp angular nd to the belt and ada ted to engage and curve a belt isposed in two substantially parallel spans and at their ends looped about said distenders with a radius of curvature for theloops about said distenders greater than two times the thickness of said belt, said distenders being of substantial thicknose in a direction crosswise to their separation to maintain a substantial separation between said op osite spans of said belt, and said surfaces ing arranged substantiall m vertically; said distenders having outstand: retaining flanges at the bottom edge of and belt to prevent the gravity displacement of said belt, a resistor mounted to maintain the separation between said distenders and adapted to resist the inward stress of said belt upon said distenders and itself leavin space between said spans of said belt, w ereby said spans of said belt are free for finger manipulations and inspection; and pedestal means for supporting said distenders and said resistor upon a horizontal surface.
