2,277,253 SHOE DISPLAY STAND Morris D. Pollinger, Stamford, Conn.

Application April 12, 1939, Serial No. 267,413

2 Claims.

This invention relates to a shoe display device and has particular reference'to a display stand which provides a cantilever support for the shoe so that the same is displayed in an inclined position with the shank and heel portions thereof projecting beyond the support.

The invention has in View a display stand which supports the shoe by engagement with the sole thereof and with the rear portion of the shoe projecting rearwardly and upwardly beyond the support so as to more effectively display the shoe while rendering the display stand inconspicuous and affording a clear space beneath the shoe at the rear of the base.

The invention further comprehends a display stand which includes a weighted base for preventing overtipping of the stand when supporting a shoe thereon and with a rearwardly projecting inclined support carried by the base and having means for engagement with the opposite side edges of the shoe sole for securing the shoe in position thereon with the shank and heel portions of the shoe projecting rearwardly and upwardly beyond the support and base.

The invention also provides in a display stand of the indicated character, a support having a pivotally connected relatively adjustable portion by means of which either a right or left shoe may be supported thereby with the longitudinal medial line thereof arranged longitudinally with the fore and aft axis of the base.

The invention further embodies in another of its forms a display stand including a base, an inclined shoe support and means adjustably connecting the support to the base for selectively varying the inclination of the support so that the shoe may be disposed in variously inclined positions with reference to the base.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, reference is now made to the following specification and the accompanying drawing in which there is illustrated the preferred embodiments thereof.

In the drawing:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the display stand constructed in accordance with the invention illustrating a woman's shoe supported thereon.-

Fig. 2 is a side view thereof with the shoe removed.

Fig. 3 is a top plan view.

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary transverse sectional view taken approximately on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawing by characters of reference, the stand includes an upwardly and rearwardly inclined supporting arm 30 having a semicircular rebent forward terminal portion 33 and which arm is adjustably connected with the base 3| for selectively varying the inclination of the arm by means of a clevis 32 which is riveted or otherwise secured to the upper surface of the base centrally thereof through which clevis the rebent terminal portion 33 of the arm protrudes and secures the same in fixed relation with the base against accidental or unintentional displacement thereof, while permitting of sliding movement of the rebent portion 33 between the bottom of the clevis and a pin 34 extending transversely through the clevis. The arm 30 is provided with a transversely extending sole rest 35 secured on the upper surface at the free end thereof, while a forwardly disposed sole rest 36 is secured upon the upper surface of the arm 30 forwardly of the center of the base in the region of the juncture of the arm with the rebent terminal 33. The sole rest 33 is provided with rearwardly diverging hooked terminals 31 for engagement with the opposite edges of the shoe sole.

As illustrated, the stand is adapted to support a shoe in rearwardly inclined relation so as to effectively display the same to one viewing the shoe from the front or either side thereof, while providing a cantilever support with the heel and shank portions of the shoe projecting beyond the base thereby affording a clear space beneath the shoe at the rear of the base. The base is preferably of solid weighted construction so as to prevent overtipping of the stand when supporting a shoe.

What is claimed is:

1. In a shoe display stand, a weighted base, an upwardly and rearwardly inclined supporting arm having a semi-circular rebent lower forward terminal secured tangentially to the base, a transversely arranged sole rest secured to said arm adjacent the upper end thereof, and a transverse rest having sole edge embracing hooks located at the juncture of the arm with the semicircular terminal and disposed forwardly of the center of the base.

2. In a shoe display stand, a base, an upwardly and rearwardly inclined supporting arm having a semi-circular rebent lower forward terminal, a transversely arranged sole rest secured to said arm adjacent the upper end thereof, a transverse rest having sole edge embracing hooks located at the juncture of the arm with the semicircular terminal and disposed forwardly of the center of the base, and means carried by said base for slidably receiving the rebent terminal of the arm for selectively varying the inclination of said arm.
