1 Claim. (Cl. 211-37) This invention relates to display devices and relates more particularlyto a novel device arranged primarily although not exclusively for the display of shoes and similar articles in store windows.
An important object of the invention is to provide a shoe display device having an improved clamping arrangement for secure mounting of the sole of the shoe, such clamping arrangement being inconspicuous in appearance and which enables the shoe to be quickly afxed to the mounting structure.
A further object of the invention is the provision of novel securing means of this character which eliminates possible damage to the shoe and which securely holds the shoe against accidental dislodgement.
Another object of the invention is to provide a novel display stand which permits the article to be displayed at any desired angle.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of an embodiment of the present invention having means .for supporting a lpair of ladies sho-es.
Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof.
Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view thereof.
Fig. 4 is a broken section taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 is a section taken on line 5 5 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 6 is a top plan view of a modified form of the present invention.
Fig. '7 is a bottom plan view thereof.
Fig. 8 is a broken section taken on line 8-8 of Fig. 6.
Fig. 9 is a broken section taken on line 9-9 of Fig. 6.
Fig. 10 is a broken elevation of a part of the device.
Fig. ll is a tcp plan view of a modified form of the invention shown in Fig. 1 with means for supporting one shoe only.
Fig. 12 is a bottom plan view thereof.
The embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figs. 1 to 5, inclusive is arranged to receive a pair of shoes 9 and includes a generally H-shaped base plate having a central portion IIJ and laterally extending arms II and I2 carried at the ends thereof. Arm II is provided with curved terminal sections I3 having upturned fingers I4 arranged to contact the rear heel section I'I of the shoe. Levers I5 are pivotally mounted at one end thereof on the lower surface of the plate as shown at I6. At their opposite ends levers I5 support pivot'ed discs 20, each having an upturned finger 2|. A spring formed from wire may be carried by a pin 22 and laterally extending portions 23 of such spring are secured adjacent their terminals to ears 24 which may be struck out from the levers. The spring urges levers I5 in the direction of xed lingers I4. Terminal sections I3 each have a cut-out portion 25 to permit disc 2B and linger 2I to move inwardly to the position shown in Fig. 2.
Arm I2 is provided with a central, upstanding linger 26 and with slidable plates 30 having opposed, inturned flanges 3| which electively guide the plates in their longitudinal sliding movement relative to the arm. An upturned finger 32 is formed at the outer end of each plate. In order to' further guide the plates in'their sliding movement, a headed pin 33 carried by the arm passes through an elongated slot 34 in each plate. Plates 39 are urged inwardly by means of tension springs 35 secured to ears 35 which may be struck out from the central section of the arm. The opposite end of each spring is secured to an ear 31.
Means for supporting base plate II) may comprise a ball 4I having a stem 42 which is secured to the base plate adjacent arm I2. The ball is received in a socket which may comprise claws 43 formed from sheet metal and mounted in a coupling 44 arranged for mounting in a suitable pedestal (not shown).
To use the device the heel I'I of a ladys shoe may be placed in contact with terminal plate section I3 while lever I5 is held in its outward position shown at the right in Fig. 3. When the lever is released finger 2| contacts the front of the heel, moving it rearwardly into rm engagement with rear fingers I4. Next plate 30 may be moved outwardly against the tension of spring 35 while one side of the sole is in contact with central nger 26. When the plate is released its finger 32 contacts the opposite edge of the sole and thus provides effective clamping action. The operation may then be repeated on the opposite side of the base plate for the second shoe. It will be seen from the foregoing that the shoe may be moved into any desired position while being securely mounted in the support.
In the modified arrangement of Figs. 6 to 10 inclusive the base plate I0 is provided at one end thereof with a transverse arm II' and at its opposite end with a transverse arm I2. The arrangement on the latter arm is similar to that in the first embodiment of the invention except that the headed pin 33 and the slot 34 at each end thereof are omitted and the opposed flanges 3| are provided with inturned portions 50. At the 3 opposite end the transverse arm Il' is provided at each end thereof with a struck up nger 52 and another struck up finger 53 substantially at right angles thereto.' The end wall is provided With a square milled notch 54 which receives a nger 55 carried at the outer end of a plate 56 which is mounted Within inwardly turned anges 51 for sliding movement. A spring 6l is secured at onezendf-,thereof to `a finger 62` which may `be struckwut from the plate and at` its other end thereof to a xed finger 63 which may be struck out from the base plate I0. The shoe mayfbe attached to each side of the base plate in the same fashion as in the rst embodiment of the invention except that the nger'SS/carried onithe slidable plate 56 is simply movedl longitudinally of arm Il'. The baseplate liisfsimilarlyfprovided with ball element 4| having stem 42 which is secured to the base plate.

What I claim is:
A display device for shoes or the like comprising an elongated base plate provided with laterally extending terminal sections at each end of the base plate arranged to support a shoe or the like on each side of such base plate, each of the terminal sections at one end of the base plate being provided with spaced, upstanding fingers arranged-,to :contact the rear` heel section of the l0" shoe, a lever'pivoted oneach terminal section adjacent its point of attachment with the base plate 'and provided with an upstanding nger arranged ftp contact the front heel section, and a spring urging the lever toward the heel, each terminal section atftheopposite end of the base' plate suparranged'to contact one side of the sole of the kshoefand a fixed finger carried centrally of the base plate arranged to contact the other side of said sole.
