MAGAZINE RACK Filed March 7, 1930 Patented Mar. 17, 1931 UNITED STA ADA B. WENDEL, F SMITHLAND, IOWA.
MAGAZINE RACK Application filed March '7,
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in display devices, and particularly to devices for displaying magazines, newspapers, and the like.
One object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which is constructed to permit prospective customers viewing the contents of the rack, so that a selection may be made.
Another object is to provide a device of this character which can be easily and quickly assembled and taken apart.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of a magazine rack made in accordance with the present invention.
Figure 2 is a vertical transverse sectional View on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is an end view, partly broken away.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of a of the chain showing the bar support.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, 10 represents a pair of upright triangular frames, each consisting of the side members 11, connected at their upper ends by the sock et member 12, and the horizontal transverse bar 13, at the lower ends thereof, said bar having its ends turned upwardly, as at 14, to provide bearings for shafts to be later mentioned. Carried by the socket member 12 are the screws 15, which serve to hold the end of the upper longitudinal shaft 16, which extends between the frames 10, and has its-ends seated in said socket members of the said frames. Each end 1 1 is provided with a screw 17, which serves to hold the end of a shaft 18, which also extends between the frames. It will be noted that there are two of these shafts 18. Secured to the outer face of each of the frames 10, by means of the screws 19, is a triangular plate 20. Secured to the transverse bars 13, and extending downwardly therefrom, are the legs 21, the lower ends of which are curved to facilitate easy movement of the rack over a floor or portion 1930. Serial No. 434,962;
counter top. Extending between the said bars 13, and the bearings 12, are the intermediate brace bars 22.
Fixed on each of the shafts 16 and 18, at a suitable distance from a frame 10, is a collar 23, and rotatable on the shaft is a sprocket wheel 24, an adjustable collar 25, being slidable on the shaft for holding the sprocket in position, such slidable collar being held in place by a screw 26. Trained around each so set of sprockets, at the end frames 10, is a sprocket chain 27, certain regularly spaced links of which have the laterally extending members 28. Each of these members 28 has a bearing socket 29, in its outer face, in which 65 is rotatably supported one end of a longitudinally extending shaft or rod 30. A plate 31 is removably secured to the outer face of each of the members 28, whereby to hold the rod end in the socket. Secured on each of the rods 30, and pending therefrom, is a basket 32, in which are adapted to be placed the magazines, papers, or the like articles which are displayed for sale. Certain of the baskets are provided with the weights 33, so that a proper counterbalance is obtained, whereby the baskets will not continue to rotate, when one or more of them have been depleted of the contents.
It will be understood that the device is adapted to be placed on afloor, in which event the legs would be of suificient length to elevate the rack to a level where prospective customers could readily have access to the baskets, and the contents thereof. Also, by using shorter legs, the device may be disposed on a counter, within easy reach of the customers. In the operation of the device, the customer simply grasps one of the haskets and pulls on the same whereby to cause the rotation of the chains and the sprocket wheels, until a basket is before him, containing the article desired, which he extracts from the basket.
What is claimed is:
A display rack including triangular end frames having supporting legs and each having a socket member in its apex and a bearing at each of its other angles, non-rotatable shafts "extending between and secured in the respective socket members and bearings of the frames, a triangular plate secured to the outer face of each end frame, sprocket wheels loosely rotatable on the end portions of the shafts, chains trained around the sprockets, laterally directed members carried by the chains having bearing sockets, longitudinal rods having their ends loosely supported in said sockets, means for holding the rod ends in the sockets, and article containers suspended on the rods and movable with the V chains. 7
In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature.
ADA B. WENDEL.
