Patented June 16,1942
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE DISPLAY SUPPORT Paul M. Ressinger, Chicago, Ill. Application April 11, 1941, Serial No. 388,057
. the portions Hand may be held against gravity 6 Claims.
My invention relates to an improvement in display racks and has for one purpose the provision of a simple and efiicient display means for goods and containers.
Another purpose is the provision of a display means or rack which is adaptable for the display of boxed items, such as fountain pens, pencils, and the like.
Another purpose is the provision of an improved rack for display purposes, which may be associated with or enclosed in the stand or container.
Another purpose is the provision of an improved means for supporting a plurality of vertically aligned or superimposed items.
Other purposes will appear from time to time in the course of the specification and claims.
I illustrate my invention more or less diagrammatically in the accompanying drawing wherein:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of my invention;
Fig. 2 is a plan view;
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a section on the line 44 of Fig. 2.
Like parts are indicated by like symbols throughout the specification and drawing.
Referring to the drawing, l indicates any suitable base or support. It may have upstanding from it any suitable general display device, such as the block or support indicated as 2, the mirror member 3, vertical pillars 4, which may be mounted as in bosses or projections 5 from the base I, and centering members 6 for the pillars 4. This material is merely illustrative of a practical type of display cabinet with which the racks which form the subject matter of my invention may be associated.
The rack proper is shown herein as including one or more upright rod or wire members 8. In the drawing herein I illustrate a pair of rods 8, which may be conveniently connected at the top as by a loop 9, which permits them to be made of a single rod or wire element. The rods 8 may be connected by cross pieces [0, which serve as strengthening reinforcements and aligning members for the individual wires 8. They have forwardly, downwardly 'and outwardly inclined end portions l I, terminating in upward bends l2. The cross pieces [0 may be secured to the vertical wires or rods 8 in any suitable manner and may for example be welded. Preferably the cross pieces I0 and ends I I lie in a single plane, inclined downwardly and forwardly in such fashion that any suitable element may be displayed, such as the hinged container I4, and may readily rest on by the upward projections l2, as shown in the figures herein. a p 7 The rack thus formed may be positioned on the base in any suitable manner. I find it practical,
however, to provide a plurality of holes l5 in the top of the base to receive the lower ends of the wires 8. If desired, the lowest prongs or rod extensions II or their ends l2 may engage the top surface of the base to provide a multiple point support, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, which further adds to the stability of the rack as a whole. It will be understood, of course, that if desired the rack may be housed within any suitable cabinet or container.
It will be realized that, whereas I have described and illustrated a practical and operative device, nevertheless many changes may be made in the size, shape, number and disposition of parts without departing from the spirit of my invention. I therefore wish my description and drawing to be taken as in a broad sense illustrative or diagrammatic, rather than as limiting me to my precise showing.
I claim:
1. In a display element, a base and a rack upwardly extending from said base, said rack including a laterally spaced pair of upright rod sections and a plurality of -vertically aligned supports fixed along said rod sections in vertically spaced relationship, each such support including a pair of forwardly and downwardly extending fingers having end portions adapted to hold against gravity the article to be displayed, each such support being formed of wire and having a generally horizontal intermediate portion.
2. In a display element, a base and a rack upwardly extending from said base, said rack including a laterally spaced pair of upright rod sections and a plurality of vertically aligned supports fixed along said rod sections in vertically spaced relationship, each suchsupport including a pair -of forwardly and downwardly extending fingers having end portions adapted to hold against gravity the article to be displayed, each such support being formed of wire and having a generally horizontal intermediate portion welded to said vertical rod sections.
3. In a display element, a base and a rack upwardly extending from said base, said rack including a pair of laterally spaced generally upright rod sections connected at their upper ends, the base having apertures adapted to receive and support the lower ends of said rod. sections, and aplurality of spaced wire supports mounted along said rods, each such support including a generally horizontal intermediate portion welded to and connecting said rod sections, and a pair of forwardly and downwardly extending fingers having end portions adapted to hold against gravity the articles to be displayed.
4. In a display element, a base and a rack upwardly extending from said base, including a generally upright metal rod, the base being apertured to receive the lower end thereof in supporting relationship, and a plurality of horizontally extending downwardly and forwardly inclined metal wire supports fixed to said rod in vertical alignment, each such support having at its lower end an upwardly extending portion adapted to hold against gravity the articles to be displayed, each such support including a generally horizontal transverse portion secured directly to the rod, and downwardly and outwardly inclined diverging end portions, the end portions and the central portion lying in a single downwardly and outwardly inclined plane.
5. In a display element, a base, and a rack extending upwardly from said base, said rack including an upright rod section and a plurality of vertically aligned supports fixed along said rod sections in vertically spaced relationship, each such support including an upper horizontal portion secured directly to said rod section intermediate its ends, and a pair of forwardly and downwardly extending fingers extending from the opposite ends of said horizontal portion and having end portions adapted to hold against gravity the article to be displayed.
6. In a display element, a base, and a rack extending upwardly from said base, said rack including an upright rod section and a plurality of vertically aligned supports fixed along said rod section in vertically spaced relationship, each such support including an upper horizontal portion secured directly to said rod section intermediate its ends, and a pair of forwardly and downwardly extending fingers extending from the opposite ends of said horizontal portion and having end portions adapted to hold against gravity the article to be displayed, said downwardly extending finger portions being also outwardly inclined away from each other.
