The principal ,objects of the present invention` are to provide each face of such a rackv or frame with a separate display panel l of shingles or'roong, to provide for the easy assembly of such panels in the rack and their removal therefrom, to dispensefwith the use 'of separate fasteners andbacliing panels Vfor the dis.- play panels,: 'and to provide for strength, `dur-l ability, simplicity andeconon'ly-ofI construction. f
The invention consists in thedisplay rack and in the construction, combinations and `arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, my
roong display rack comprises a rectangular: metal frame made up of a top member A, a bot-f,
tom member B, side frame members C, and two display panels D of shingles mounted back to back in said frame. t
The top member A comprises a` downwardly opening longitudinal channel l provided along its top with an upstanding medial ange 2 having a suitable hand hole 3 formed therein. One side of the vertical top fiange 2 of the top frame member is provided with a pair of horizontally spaced vertically disposed hook flanges 4 adapted to overlap and hold against said iiange a card 5 that rests on the channel I and containsdirections for applying the roofing material displayed on the Fig. 3` is a similar View loolringmat the opposite,
` Each `side frame; member C- made up of 10 separable duplicate .l sections' 9 that cooperate to` form an inwardly opening longitudinal channel I0 insaidsideirame member. @These channels in .the side 'framemembers cooperate with the channels in the top and bottom frame members 15 to form onecontinuous channel aroundthe opening in the frame 4formed bysaid frame members. The upper end portions Il of the twosections 9 ofl each side frame member C extend above the channel of lthetop frame member andare` oiset inwardly to bring saidportions in contactiiat-v wise kwith the upstanding top flange `2 ofsaid top y frame member. Thefoverlappmgend sgof the top andside frame membersxare'removably soured together-by bolts Hl2 that extend through `-`regls`` 25 tering holes provided therefor in saidfendsly The lower ends of the respective side frame member sectionsterminate in extensions in the `form of upwardly extendinghooks 13; andsaidljsections` v are provided on their opposing faces, with a-plu 30 rality of vertically spacedupwardly extending hooks l5. that are struck from openings formed `insaid sections. The 'portions of` thesections y thatare overlapped by the end portionsi of the vbottom'irame member` B--are` provided` with35` struck-up projections I6 that seat within openings I'.' provided thereforin said end'portions. In assembling and disassembling the side andbottom frame members, the endportions 8 of the bottom frame member spring apart far enough 40v to ride over the projections I6 on the sideirame members and thus permit said projections to snap into theopenings I'l insaid end portions of saidbottom frame member.
1 As shown in the drawings, each of the display 45 panels D is made up of a series of shingles; that are assembled in the same manner in which they are applied to the roof or sideof abuilding.. The shingles shown in the drawings arethreein-one strip shingles that extend across the frame `from side to side thereof with their end portions extending into the grooves in the side kframe members and with the lower edge of thelower strip resting on the hooks I3 and with the lower edges of the other strips resting on the vertically spaced hooks l5. The lower strip shingles of each panel rest in the channel of the bottom frame member B; and suitable starter strips I8 and filler strips i9 are interposed between said bottom strips and rest in said channel and extend into the grooves in the side frame members C. The uppermost strip shingles of each panel have their upper marginal portions seated in the downwardly opening groove in the top frame member A.
By the arrangement described, the two shingle display panels D ll the openingy in the rack or frame and their edges are securely held in the groove of the surrounding frame. The two. panels may be made to display different shingle patterns and color combinations, while the different solid colors of rolled rooiing are displayed by the samples mounted on the top frame member of the display. The construction dispenses with the use of backing panels and securing nails for the two shingle display panels; and the display panels may be readily removed and replaced merely by removing one of the sections of each side trarne member.
Obviously, the hereinbefore described display rack admits of considerable modiiication without departing from the invention. not wish to' be limited to the precise constructions' shown and described.
What I claim is:
l. A display rack comprising an open frame having an inwardly opening groove extending around the opening defined by said frame, and separatedisplay panels mounted in said opening with their marginal edges seated'in said groove, said panels consisting solely of ilexible roong disposed back to back, whereby each of said panels constitutes a supporting panel for the other panel. l
2. A display rack comprising an open frame having any inwardly opening groove extending around the opening defined by said frame, and
separate display panels mounted back to backv in' said opening with their marginal edges tting in said groove, each of said display panels consisting solely of overlapping flexible shingles and constituting a supporting panel for the other panel.
3. A display rack for roofing comprising an open frame having an inwardly opening groove extending around the opening defined by said frame, and separate display panels mounted back to back in said opening with their marginal edges seated in said groove, each of said display panels' consisting solely ofr overlapping flexible shingles and constituting a supporting panel iory Therefore, I do` the other panel, said frame being provided above said opening with a hand hole to facilitate carrying said rack.
4. A display rack for roofing comprising an open frame having an inwardly opening groove extending around the opening dei-ined by said frame, separate display panels mounted back to back in said opening with their marginal edges seated in said groove, each of said display panels consisting solely of overlapping flexible shingles, and means located in said groove entirely clear of said opening and aiording vertical support for the lower edges ofthe overlapping shingles of the respective panels.
5. A display rack comprising an open frame having an inwardly opening groove extending ,around the opening deiined by said frame, and
separate display panels mounted back to back in said opening with their marginal edges seated in said groove, each of said display panels consisting solely of overlappingshingles, said frame being provided with a plurality of vertically spaced prongs located in said groove and aiording vertical support for the lower edges of the overlapping shinglesof the respective panels.
6. A display rack comp-rising an open rectangular frame and separate display panels mounted back to back in the opening dened by said frame, each lof said display panels consisting solely of overlapping exible shingles and constituting a supporting panel for the other panel, said frame comprising' top, bottom and side frame members removably secured together at the corners of said frame.
7. A display rack comprising an open rectangularframe having an inwardly opening groove extending around the` rectangular opening defined by'said frame, and separate rectangular display panels mounted back to back in said opening With their marginal edges seated in said groove, each of said display panels consisting solely of overlappinglexible shingles, said frame comprising top, bottom land side frame members having longitudinal channels along their inner edges that cooperate to form said inwardly opening groove; eachof saidside frame inembers comprising a pair of separable sections that cooperate to form the longitudinal channel therein and are removably held together and to the top and bottom frame members at the corners of the frame,`each of said sections having vertically spaced inwardly extending portions that extend into said groove andy support the lower edges of said shingles therein.
