DI SPLAY RACK Filed Aug. 3, 1951 [Ill/Ir] EF'arzrzar J INVENTOR M a rr oausv Patented Oct. 17, 1933 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE DISPLAY BACK Eugene F. Connor, Seattle, Wash.
'Applicaflon August 3, 1931. Serial No. 554,840
1 Claim. (01. 312- 42)-' This invention relates to display racks and it consists in the novel features hereinafter described and claimed.
An object of the invention is to provide a dis- 5 play rack especially adapted to be used for holding small packages of merchandise as for instance chewing gum and the like so that the labels upon the packages may be seen.
With this object in view the display rack comprises side pieces mounted upon a base and being connected together by a cross bar. The side pieces are provided at their inner surfaces with inclined grooves which receive the edges of trays. A sheet of transparent material is held at the 16 upper ends of the side pieces and forms the top of the display rack. The trays are provided at their lower ends with upstanding flanges adapted to retain the packages of merchandise and each tray is further provided with a lip portion adapt- 20 ed to lie over the packages of a lower tray and to hold the same in position.
In the accompanying drawing:--
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the display rack.
Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view thereof.
Figure 3 is a fragmentary perspective view of one of the side pieces.
As illustrated in the accompanying drawing, the display rack consists of side pieces 1 which are mounted at their lower ends upon a base 2.
The upper edges 3 of the side pieces are inclined and a sheet of glass 4 is held by the side pieces along the inclined edges 3. The side pieces 1 are connected together by a cross bar 5 which is spaced above the base 2. A door 6 is hinged to the base 2 and its free edge is adapted to close against the bar 5. A catch member '1 is mounted upon the bar 5 and is adapted to swing over the edge of the door 6 and hold the same in.a closed 40 position with relation to the bar. The side pieces 1 are provided at their inner surfaces with inclined grooves 8 adapted to receive the edges of trays which will now be described.
Each tray consists of a piece of sheet metal 5 which is substantially rectangular in form. As
shown in the drawing the trays are indicated at 9. The trays are located in an inclined position between the side pieces 1. Each tray is provided at its lower end with a pair of upstanding flanges 10 and the bottom of the tray between the said flanges is extended in the form of a lip 11. The bottom of the tray and the lip 11 is provided with an opening 12. The tray being in the form of metal plates received in the inclined grooves 8 are retained in the position where their flanges 10 protrude beyond the plane of the front face of the rack by means of downtumed ears 14 formed at the rear or upper ends of the plates and at the side edges thereof, these ears abutting the rear edges of the side 7 pieces 1.
The packages are inserted between the trays at the upper ends thereof and the packages slide down the trays and the lower package on each trayrests against the flanges 10 thereof. when a package is desired the lower package in the tray is removed and the other packages in the same tray will slide down the inclined bottom thereof. The space between the side pieces 1 and the lower tray forms a compartment which is closed bythe door 8 and in which a supply of the packages may be retained.
Having described the invention, what is claimed is:-
A display rack comprising a base, side pieces mounted upon the base at opposite ends thereof and provided on their inner faces with .inclined grooves, trays comprising metal plates received in the grooves of opposite side pieces, each of said trays being provided at its lower end with a pair of upstanding flanges with an intervening lip portion located between the flanges, said lip portion lying co-planar with the bottom of the tray, each of the latter at its upper end and at the side edges being provided with downtumed ears abutting the rear edges of the side pieces to maintain the trays in place with their flanges and lip portions projecting beyond the plane of the front edges of the side pieces.
