2 Claims.
My invention relates to improvements in merchandise display stands, and the object of my invention is to produce a tiered stand designed to be placed upon a shop counter or the like, such stand being of a collapsible construction whereby it can be readily transported and quickly erected.
A further and particular object of my invention is to so construct the stand that no tools are needed for its erection or disassemblyl With the foregoing and other objects in view, as shall hereinafter appear, my invention consists of a merchandise display stand constructed and arranged all as hereinafter more particularly described and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the stand.
Figure 2 is an enlarged side-elevational view of one of the side members of the stand.
Figure 3 is a plan view of the side member shown in Figure 2.
Figure 4 is an enlarged vertical sectional view taken through the line 44, Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a similar view to Figure 2 showing an alternative construction.
Figure 6 is a vertical cross sectional view through the merchandise supporting tiered member.
Figure 7 is a perspective view of a fragmentary portion of the tiered member positioned to disclose the bottom thereof, and
Figure 8 is an enlarged vertical cross section through a fragmentary portion of the tiered member showing an alternative construction.
Like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different views in the draw ings.
My stand is of a simple nature and comprises a pair of side members 2 of substantially right angle triangular shape, the tiered merchandise supporting shelf member 3 being positioned substantially parallel to the hypotenuse edges of the side members 2. The tiered shelf member 3 is substantially in the form of steps of stairs and is made up of merchandise supporting flats 4 and risers 5L To support the tiered shelf member between the sides 2 the-inside faces of the sides 2, as illustrated in Figures 2, 3 and 4, carry triangular shaped supporting plates 6 whichare attached to the inner faces of the sides and are formed with lips I on their apex sides. The lips I are spaced away from the inner faces of the side members 2. The side edges of the flats 4 and risers 5 of the tiered member 3 carry tongues 8 which extend downwardly at right angles to the lower faces of the member 3 and are receivable in the spaces between the lips 1 and the inside faces of the side members 2. It will be appreciated that as the flats and risers of the members 3 are at substantially right angles to each other that the tongues 8 will become firmly seated behind the lips and retain the tiered member 3 against movement.
To support the upper and lower portions of the tiered member, suitably positioned lip members 9 are secured to the inner faces of themembers 2 to receive suitably positioned tongues ID on the upper and lower portions of the tiered member 3.
In Figure 5, I show an alternative construction wherein the plates 6 are replaced by similar plates II which are integrally formed by a connecting piece H. In other words, in the construction shown in Figure 2 I use a plurality of similar plates 6, and in Figure 5 only one suitably attached plate I2. I
If it is desired to make up the tiered member of a plurality of detachable interlocking parts, instead of an unitary member as illustrated in Figure 6, I use thevconstruction comprising a plurality of trough-shaped members as shown in Figure 8 wherein the flats l3 are formed on their forward edges with upwardly extending sides or tongues l4 which are received within inverted. U-shaped channels l5 formed by turning back the upper portions of the risers I 5. It will be appreciated that by this construction the steps of the tiered member can be readily assembled. The tongues 8 can be of angular constructionand riveted or spot Welded to the tiered member, as illustrated in Figures 6 and '7, or corresponding tongues is can be formed integrally with the tiered member as illustrated in Figure 8.
Upon reference toFigures 6 and 8 of the drawings, it will be seen that I form the tier members so that the risers 5 and I6 have their upper portions l1 and I5 extending upwardly beyond the forward edges of the flats to provide a construction wherein the merchandise is retained from accidentally being pushed off the shelves and by this construction the corners between the flats and risers are strengthened. I
From the foregoing description it will be apparent that I have designed a very simple and without departing from the spirit of my invention as set forth in the appended claims.
What I claim as my invention is: r 1. In a merchandise display stand of the character described, the combination with a pair of side members and a tiered shelf member comprising flats and risers extending therebetween,
1 of tongues extending downwardly from the side edges of both the flats and risers, triangular-- shaped platesattached to the inside faces of the side members, and lips formed on the upper side 10 trough is received.
edges of the triangular plates and spaced away from the inside faces of the side'members, the tongues being received in the spaces between the inside faces of the side members and the lips.
2. A display stand as claimed in claim 1 wherein the tiered shelf member is comprised of a plurality of trough-shaped members, one side of each trough being bent back on itself to constitute a channel in which the side of an adjacent JAMES LESLIE WRIGHT.
