SUPPORTING STAND Filed May 12, 1958 Patented Sept. 24, 1940 I omrsp 1 STATES PATENT ()FFlCE SUPPORTING STAND Louis B. Berg, Chicago, Ill., assignor to Borg- Warner Corporation, Chicago, 111., a corporation of Illinois Application May 12,
3 Claims.
This invention relates to supporting stands adapted for supporting receptacles such as, for example, washing machines, cooking utensils, flower pots, etc., and has as its general object to provide a supporting stand which is relatively simple and inexpensive in construction and yet extremely sturdy and durable.
Another object of the invention is to provide a supporting stand, which, in addition to the foregoing characteristics, comprises an annular upper region for receiving an article to be supported, said annular upper region tapering downwardly into a plurality of spaced supporting legs, the entire stand being formed of sheet metal without any wastage.
Other objects, the advantages and uses of the invention will become apparent after reading the following specification and claims, and after consideration of the drawing forming a part of the specification, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a stand embodying the invention, with a supported receptacle indicated in broken lines;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of the sections of the stand;
Fig. 3 is a plan view of a series of blanks for forming the sections of the stand, arranged in the relation that they assume when forming part of a strip of the sheet metal stock fromwhich they are formed; and
Fig. 4 is a partial side elevation of a modified form of the invention.
As an illustrative embodiment of one form in which the invention may be embodied, I have shown in the drawing, a stand adapted to support a washing machine, indicated in broken lines in Fig. 1 by the reference numeral Ill.
The supporting stand comprises an annular upper region, indicated generally at A, adapted to receive the lower region ll of the receptacle l0, and to support the receptacle by the engagement of its upper edge [2 with a shouldered portion [3 separating the bottom portion II from the upper region of the receptacle.
The lower region of the stand comprises a plurality of spaced legs B, formed integrally with the annular upper region A.
In the preferred form of the invention shown in Fig. 1, the stand is comprised of a single sheet of metal, shown in blank form in Fig. 3, which is formed from a single strip or sheet of material, somewhat wider than the height of the stand. The single strip of material is lanced to form a pair of blanks, or successive pairs of blanks C and D as shown in Fig. 3. Each blank includes 1938, Serial No. 207,453
a continuous web portion A, adapted to form the annular upper portion A of the stand, and a plurality of spaced leg-forming portions B. Each of the leg-forming portions B comprises a narrow end portion l4, adapted to form the leg proper M of the completed stand, and a trapezoidal intermediate portion l5, joined to the web portion A by a rectangular portion Hi.
In the sheet of material from which the blanks C and D are formed, the end portions M of one blank lie between the rectangular portion [6' of the other blank, and the trapezoidal portions [5' lie adjacent each other, diverging in opposite directions alternately as shown. Thus, all of the sheet of material is used, without any wastage.
In the formation of the stand, the leg blanks B are die-formed to substantially the shape shown in Fig. 2. The end portions M are converted into substantially tubular form, and the trapezoidal portions 15 are formed to spathe shape as shown in Fig. 2.
The blank is then rolled to form the web portion A and the rectangular region [6' into annular and arcuate form, respectively, the spatheshaped portions [5 changing shape somewhat to conform to the changing shape of the rectangular portion Hi.
In the completed stand, a projected end I! of the web portion A is welded or otherwise suitably attached at I8 to the other end of the web portion A in order to form the completed annular portion A.
The spaces formed between the rectangular portions l6 by the cutting out of the end portions [4 of the complementary blank provide, in the finished stand, spaces l9 between the legs B so that the stand has a plurality of legs that are completely spaced apart from their lower to their upper extremities.
In the modified form of the invention shown in Fig. 4, the stand is formed of a plurality of separate sections, blanked from a strip of material exactly the same width as the height of the stand. In the blanking of these sections, they may be arranged in the strip of stock, in the same manner as the leg sections B are arranged in Fig. 3, the Web portions A being omitted and the edges of the strips of stock corresponding with the end edges of the end portions IA. The rectangular portions [6 are welded together, end to end, as at 20 to form the annular receiving portion A.
The spathe-shaped portions I5 joining the legs M to the annular portion A are exceedingly sturdy and rigid, and the same is true of the arcuate portions I6. Thus, a very sturdy construction is provided at a minimum of expense.
I claim:
1. A supporting stand formed of a single blank of sheet metal including a web portion forming an annular upper portion of the stand and a plurality of leg portions, said leg portions being of maximum width where they join the web portion and tapering to minimum width at their ends, and the spaces between the leg portions in the blank being substantially identical in shape to the leg portions themselves.
2. A supporting stand comprising anannular upper region adapted to receive a tub or the like,
