' 2 Claims.
This invention relates to a display rack for hair clippers or similar articles although it is particularly designed and adapted for use in displaying hand hair clippers.
One of the objects of the invention is to provide a display rack of this character which prominently and attractively displays the clippers in a natural fashion and in such manner that the holders which support the clippers are effectively concealed so that the observer will, practically speaking, see only the clippers. Thus, the display of the clippers is not detracted from by the holders and the observer will not have his attention diverted by the holders.
Another object of the invention is to provide a display rack of this character which displays a plurality of clippers of different styles or sizes on one board and at the same time and displays each clipper in a position in which it is often ordinarily seen in use.
A still further and important object is to provide a display rack having holders with which the clippers are releasably interlocked. Preferably, this interlock is efiected under the influence of the spring embodied in the clipper itself so that the clipper may be put into the rack or taken therefrom by gripping the handles of the clipper in the normal way, pressing them toward each other and then sliding the cutting head of the clipper into or out of the holder.
Another object of the invention is to provide a display rack having these advantages and ca- .pacities and which is very simple and durable in its construction, susceptible of economic production and yet highly effective in use.
Other objects and advantages reside in certain novel features of the construction, arrangement and combination of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which:
Figure 1 is a view in top plan showing a display rack embodying the invention but illustrating only one hair clipper supported in the rack;
Figure 2 is a view in cross section taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1, parts being shown inclevation for the sake of simplicity in illustration;
Figure 3 is a view in cross section taken on line 3-3 of Figure 2, parts being shown in elevation for the sake of illustration; and
Figure 4 is a fragmentary view partly in top plan and with parts broken away and shown in horizontal section to further illustrate how a clipper is engaged and held in its clipper holder.
Referring to the drawings, the numeral designates a display board which may be suitably covered, as indicated at 2, and also appropriately ornamented as well as having suitable advertis- 5 ing matter applied to its exposed surface. To the upper surface of the board a plurality of clipper holders, designated at 3, 4, 5, 6, 1, and
-8, are secured. These holders are of identical construction but they are disposed on the display board in spaced rows, the holders 3, 4, and 5 making up one row and the holders 6, 1, and'8 another row. Preferably, the holders of one row are alined with the holders of the other.
Each clipper holder comprises a metal bracket arm designated generally at l0 and having an attaching portion riveted or otherwise suitably secured as at I2 to the board. Each bracket arm also has an outwardly angled portion I3, to the outer end of which a clipper holder bracket 20 of metal and designated generally at M is secured. Each bracket I4 has a strip-like body portion l5, the center of which is secured, for example, by spot welding to the outer end of the angled portion I3 of its bracket arm. The ends of the strip-like body portion have angular lugs l6 and I1 integral therewith and overhanging the ends of the body portion so that the brackets l4 provide what may be regarded as fixed generally C-shaped clamps. 30
This type of display rack is designed for especially advantageous use with hand hair clippers of the type designated generally at C. These clippers usually comprise a cutting head having a fixed blade 20 and a reciprocable blade 2|, the blade assembly being suitably interconnected with a housing 22. A fixed handle 23 is integral with the housing 22 while the movable handle of the clipper designated at 24 has a bearing 25 rotatable about a bearing member 26 provided therefor in the housing. This movable handle also has a driving arm 21 which interengages with the blade 2|. A spring 28 is interconnected with the housing and the movable handle in the conventional manner so as to tend to spread the handles 23 and 24 and thereby move the clippers to one position. When the handles are pulled together the movable blade 2| is shifted across the fixed blade in the usual way.
I The clipper construction forms no part of the present invention and is adverted to merely to make clear that the structure of the clipper includes a spring which biases the blade to one position. This spring action is taken advantage "5 pulled toward each other slightly and held in such position. While so held the blades of the clipper are slid downinto the holders, the side edges of the fixed blade 20 moving under the overhanging lugs I6 and I! and the side edges of the movable blade being disposed in between With the clipper in position in its holder the handles are released so that the left these lugs.
hand edge of the movable blade,.as viewed in Figures 1, 3, and 4, moves oyerflana' presses against the adjacent lug [6. This forces the opposite edge of the lower blade firmly in under its lug I1 and frictionally secures the clipper in place. The clipper may be released by reversing this action, that is, by grasping the handles of'the clipper, pulling them toward each other,
and then sliding the cutting head of the clipper up out of its holder.
It will be seen from the foregoing that the clippers are displayed in an attractive, natural manner and that when the clippers are in place theholders are effectively concealed. 1 It will be noted also that the displayboard has capacity for quite a number of clippers considering its size, this-being due to the row formation which permits the spread handles of the larger size clippers to straddle the cutter heads of the clippers in the adjacent row.
Another advantage is that a variety of sizes or styles of clippers may be advantageously displayed on one board and at the same time.

2. A display rack for a hand hair clipper comprising a holder consisting of a bracket arm adapted to be attached to a suitable support and having a portion extending outwardly therefrom at an angle, a bracket having a strip-like body portion extending transversely to the outer end of the angle portion of the arm and secured thereto intermediate its ends, said body portion being adapted to provide a rest against'which the bottom blade of the clipper engages, and angular lugs at the ends of the body portion adapted to overhang the side edges of the blades of the clipper to hold the clipper in position.
