Patented Jan. 5, 1932 UNITED STATES ALBERT L. WOLESON, OF NEW YORK, CORPORATION, NEW YORK, N.
N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO VIKING PRODUCTS Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK DISPLAY 'DEVICE Application filed July 12,
An important object of the present invention is to provide a novel and useful display device for supporting, displaylng and advertising articles of merchandise in an attractive manner upon a counter or within a show window.
Other objects of the invention will appear hereinafter.
In the drawings, Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the display device;
Fig. 2 a vertical section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 3 a vertical longitudinal section taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2.
The display device is a compact, portable unit providing a luminous table-like support for dlsplayed articles, and a luminous advertising sign disposed back of the supported articles. The structure of the device includes an elongated lamp casing 1 comprising a body section 2 forming the front, rear and top of the casing, .endsections 3 secured to section 1, and a flat removable bottom section 4. These parts are, in the present instance, formed of sheet-metal. Along their lower edges the sections 2 and 3 are bent inward and downward to form downwardly opening hook-like flanges 5. The bottom section 4 has its margins bent upward to form upstanding flanges 6 for'frictionally fitting in the flanges 5 and yieldably holding the bottom section in place. Knob-like feet 7 are secured to the bottom section near the opposite ends thereof and serve for supporting the casing slightly elevated upon a'support, and also for pulling the bottom section from the body section of the casing. Mounted upon one of the end sections 3 and concealed within the casing is an electric lamp socket 7 into which is screwed an elongated electric lamp 8. The latter extends throughout most of the length of the lamp casing, and apertures 9 are formed along the bottom section for ventilating the casing. Conductor cords 10 lead from the lamp socket and are provided with a plug 11 for connection with a source of electric current. The inner walls of the easing are covered with a white coating 12.
Along its upper side, directly over the lamp 8, the casing is formed with a longitudinal lamp and is defined by forwardly turned cle's to panel 20.
1930. Serial No. 467, 76.
slot 13 extending substantially the length of p the casing and defined by upwardly turned flanges 14. A similar longitudinal slot 15 is formed in the casing directly in front of the flanges 16. An upright transparent glass panel 17 has its lower edge margin fitted in the slot 13, snugly between the flanges 14, and its side margins and upper edge margins snugly fitted in a supporting frame 18. This frame is formed of sheet metal and it is secured at its lower end to the casing and supported thereby. Extending forward horizontally from the slot 15 is a frame 19 which supports a transparent glass panel 20. This frame is also formed of sheet metal and is rigidly secured to the casing 1 at its rear end. Each side thereof is substantially L-shaped in cross section to provide a ledge 21 supporting the plate 20 along its front and side edges, and an upstanding flange 22 surrounding said edges. The rear edge margin of the panel 20 fits into the slot 15 between the flanges 16. Thereby the plate is removably supported. It may, however, be permanently secured in place. Feet23, made of sheet metal, are secured to the forward edge of the frame 19 and support it in horizontal position sothat the panel 20 may serve as a support for artibe displayed. -While the lamp casing, frames and other parts described are, in the present instance, made of sheet metal, they may be made of cast metal, wood or other suitable materials. p The upright panel. 17 bears a design 24 in the'form of an advertisement, such as the name or trade mark of the articles displayed. Another design 25'is borne by the horizontal This design is preferably of. an ornamental character. Both designs are defined by light-diffusing surfaces formed upon one surface of the panels. In the present instance these surfaces are formed, upon the rear surface of panel 17 and u on the under surface of panel '20, by san blasting the panels to a material depth so that thesurfacesof the designs are indented and roughened. The light-diflusing surfaces'may be otherwise formed, however, and they may be located upon the obverse faces of the 100 panels. Each panel has its faces fiat, smooth and parallel and the field surrounding its design is clear and transparent. The inner edges of both panels are exposed within the casing 1 to the light source represented by the lamp 8, and the latter extends along the line of intersection of the planes of the panels. Light rays will, therefore, enterthe panels through said exposed edges, and be subjected to reflection back and forth therein between the smooth parallel faces without escaping therefrom. The light-diffusing surfaces defining the designs will, however, so reflect some of the rays as to permit them to escape through the obverse faces of the panels and thereby render the designs luminous.
In the use of the device it may be placed upon a counter, stand, or other support, or within a show window, and articles to be displayed Will be placed upon the panel 20. WVhen an article of merchandise is properly placed with reference to theornalnental design 25 the latter, together with the upright back panel with its luminous design, will attractively set off the article. makes a particularly good display stand for ornamental toilet articles such as bottles of perfume. A bottle suitably placed upon the luminous design will have the light diffused through it and will become luminous also. In fact, practically any small article may be displayed very attractively. The device is extremely simple in construction. It is also a compact and readilyportable unit which may be conveniently placed in an advantageous position and plugged into service. When it is desirable to change the design 25 to suit different articles to be displayed,the panel 20 may be readily removed and replaced by a panel bearing a suitable design. The device can be used to good advantage-in stores, display rooms, exhibition halls and many other public places.
