Patented Mar. 1, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE DISPLAY DEVICE George O.'Kindred, Scarsdale, N. Y. Application April 6, 1937, Serial 'No. 135,211 Claims. (01. 211-135) This invention relates to display devices and particularly to that class thereof which are adapted to provide support for a plurality of articles of merchandise in display position. To that end my improvements comprise features illustrated in their preferred embodiment in the drawings accompanying this specification, wherein:
Figure 1 is an upright perspective front view of my improved display device in distended position ready for the reception on its several shelves of articles of merchandise.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of what is shown in Fig. l.
' Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the distended de-' vice shown in Fig. 1. I
Fig. 4. is a horizontal section on line 4-4 of Fig. 3 looking downward thereon.
Fig. 5 is a vertical section on line 55 of Fig. 2 looking in the direction of the arrows in Fig. 2.
Fig. 6 is a top plan view of what is shown in Fig. 1 with the device partially collapsed.
Fig. '7 is a front elevation of what is shown in Fig. 6.
Fig. 8 is an end elevation of the device folded flat for packing for shipment, looking in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 6.
Figs. 9 to inclusive are extended plan views respectively, of the several elemental members which are assembled to form my improved display, and will be described in detail later herein.
The scale is the same in all the figures of the drawings and may be the actual size of the device, but usually the device is constructed much larger in size to support and display somewhat bulky merchandise. The upstanding panels are adapted for the reception of printed display matter directed to the merchandise shown.
In devices of the class herein shown it is essen tial that the display when in distended condition, must stand firmly on its base and that the several shelves for merchandise must be suitably supported; it is also essential that the device must be readily collapsible into compact form for shipment in relatively flat condition. In the present construction these features are so designed that a high degree of stability is attained, with a practically automatic collapsib-ility. Referring now more particularly to the drawings my improved device comprises a main wall 2 divided into a plurality of major panels 3 to IE] inclusive articulated together along their vertical edges in accordion-like formation, see Figs. 1 and 9.
Vertical folding line l4 between panels 3 and 4 has a horizontal cut transversely thereof,
terminating in opposite vertical scored folding lineslZ, l3, whereby when major panels 3 and 4 are; folded backwardly, Fig. 1, minor lower panels I 5, It, may be folded forwardly on score line 2|. Along the upper edges of minor panels 5 l5, l6 are articulated, by some convenient means as cars 17, I8 glued thereto, rectangular shelf l9, Fig. 13. This shelf is divided into two triangular parts I911. and |9b by diagonal score line 29, so
that said shelf may fold upwardly along line 10 when the device is collapsed, Figs. 6, 7.
For supporting the several shelves against'collapsing downwardly when loaded with merchandise the following means are provided. At the back, Figs. 3 and 4, extending from panel 3 and articulated thereto by ear 39, to panel 9 and articulated thereto by car 40 is rear wall 4|. Said rear wall has a plurality of vertically scored folding lines as 42, 43, 44, thereby providing a plurality of upstanding rear wall panels 52, 53, 54, 55, 56 for supporting the several shelves 9, 9, l9 and 28 respectively. Said rear wall 4| is also articulated by ear 45 to panel 4, by ear 46 to panel 24, and ear 41 to panel 6. 1
For supporting shelf 31 strip 48 Fig. 15, articulated along vertical line 49 is hinged to panels 29, 3G by ears 5!], 5|, respectively.
In collapsing the device for packing, the several shelves fold upwardly along their several diagonal score lines and the main wall folds on its several vertical articulations while the rear wall folds similarly and strip 48 folds along its score line 49.
I claim:
1. A foldable display device including in combination a plurality of major panels articulated along their vertical edges respectively, said panels being foldable in accordion-like formation, a plurality of pairs of forwardly disposed minor panels, the upper edges of which are out free from said major panels and articulated thereto. at their outer vertical edges respectively, each pair of said minor panels being articulated together at their forwardly folding edges and a rectangular shelf, foldable along one of its diagonals, articulated along two of its edges adjacent the foldable diagonal to the upper edges of each of said pairs of minor panels.
-2. A foldable display device including in combination a plurality of major panels articulated along their vertical edges respectively, said panels being foldable in accordion-like formation, a plurality of pairs of forwardly disposed folding minor panels, the upper edges of which are out free from said major panels and articulated thereto at their outer vertical edges respectively, each pair of said minor panels being'articulated together at their forwardly folding edges, a rectangular shelf, foldable along one of its diagonals, articulated along two of its edges adjacent the foldable diagonal to the upper edges of each of said pairs of minor panels and means for supporting said shelves, comprising a rear wall articulated to two or more of said major panels and having panels extending upwardly for engagement with said shelves respectively.
3. In a foldable display device the combination of a pair of vertical major panels articulated along a vertical line, a pair of minor panels articulated along a vertical line and articulated along their outer vertical edges to said major panels respectively, a rectangular shelf, foldable along one of its diagonals and articulated along two of its edges adjacent the foldable diagonal to the upper edges of said pair of minor panels respectively.
4. In a foldable display device the combination of a pair of vertical mlajor panels articulated along a vertical line, a pair of minor panels articulated along a vertical line and articulated along their outer vertical edges to said major panels respectively, a rectangular shelf, foldable along one of its diagonals, articulated along two of its edges adjacent the foldable diagonal to the upper edges of said pair of minor panels respectively and foldable means articulated to the backs of said major panels respectively for supporting said shelf.
5. In a foldable display device the combination of a rectangular shelf, foldable along one of its diagonals, a pair of 'foldable supporting walls for said shelf, said shelf being articulated along two of its edges adjacent the foldable diagonal to said supporting walls respectively, and foldable means articulated to the backs of said supporting walls respectively for supporting said shelf.
