'ADJUSTABLE AND MOBILE BROOM AND MOP DISPLAY RACK Filed Sept. l5, 1950 ATTO QN EVS Patented Dec. 30, 1952 ADJUSTABLE AND MOBILE BROOM AND MOP DISPLAY RACK Theodore Looney, Johnson City, Tenn. Application September 15, w19-50', Serial No. 185,118
This invention relates to improvements in racks for displaying brooms, mops .andsimilarv articles.4
l Afprimary object of this invention is to provide 1 an extensible rack, which will accommodate a large or small stock of articles and to provide means for supporting the stock in a .manner to be easilyremoved, without disrupting the display arrangement and without necessitating the removal of all of the stock.
Another object of this invention is to provide a mobile display rack, which may be conveniently moved to any desired display position in a store and which is provided with stop means for rendering the rack immobile.
These and ancillary objects and structural features 'of merit are attained by this invention, the preferredembodiment of which is set forth in the following description and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein: l
V'Figure l` is a side elevational view of a` rack, constructed in accordance with the principles of this invention;
Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof;
Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary, vertical,
transverse, sectional view, taken on line 3 3 of parallel angle irons I8 and 20, which support thereon a thin metal sheet 22, the metal sheet being secured at its opposing side edges on the horizontal flanges of the angle irons and forming a portion of the bottom wall. The upper section I4 includes a pair of angle irons 24 and 26, which are positioned similar to the angle irons I8 and and which overlie the angle irons I8 and 20, the angle irons 24 and 26 similarly supporting a thin metal sheet 28, which is mounted thereon similarly to the sheet 22. The horizontal flanges of `the angle irons 24 and 26 slide upon the side portions of the top of the sheet 22 and the vertical anges of the angle irons I8 and 24 are disposed in sliding engagement, with the vertical,
flanges of the angle irons 20 and 26 disposed in similar engagement.
The vertical flanges of the angle irons I8 and 20 are formed with longitudinally spaced holes 30 and the vertical flanges of the angle irons 24 and 1 Claim. (ol. al1- 65) 12E are similarly formed with holes` 32, the holes:v fbeing selectively alignable with the holes 38 for'l`V the reception of locking bolts 3E, having wing nuts v 88 threadingly engaged on their projecting' I threaded ends.
to the vertical flanges, the 'bars frictionally enigaging the vertical flanges of the angle irons and i being normally held out of ground engagement.`
Standards, in the form of plate-like, transversely disposed walls 58 and 68, are mountedo the base sections I4 and I6, respectively, the
standards being disposed perpendicularly tothe base sections and positioned nearv the longitudinjally outward ends thereof. The standards include upstanding angle irons 62 and. 64, fixed at their lower ends to the longitudinal flanges of the angle irons of the base section, sheets 66 being disposed transversely betweenv lower portions of the angle irons B2 andl 64, with vertically spaced horizontal bars 68 and 'Hl connected to and ex tending between the angle irons 6 2 and 64 adjacent to their upper ends. The - bars 68 and 18 are provided with lower and upperbroom handleengaging means 'I2 and 14, respectively.
The lower broom engaging means 'I2 are fixed and include a series of hooks 16,",` which project outwardly from the bar 68 and overlie the outer ends of the walls 22 and 28 of both of the base sections, the handles of mops or brooms, having in erect positions.
be positioned, as seen in Figure 1, with their heads or their handles resting upon the base sections.
Horizontal angle irons S2 and B4 connect the upper ends of the vertical angle irons 62 and 64 of each of the standards, the angle irons 82 and 84 forming supports for the opposite ends Aof a longitudinally extensible top bar 86. The top member 86 comprises two longitudinal, horizontal, inverted channel bars 96 and 90 which are teleseopically and slidably engaged. ...The depending anges of the inner or lower channel bar 90 are provided with transversely aligned longitudinally elonga-ted slots 92, and the related flanges of the channel bar 88 are formed withA transverely aligned holes, for the reception of a bolt 94, -which is slidably disposed in the slots 92 and provided with a wing nut fastener 96,
, Broom handle clips H30 are adjustably and releasably .carried by the channel bars 88 and 90.
Each clip mi! comprises a pair of opposed, horizontal, resilient arms |02, |04 which are welded in confronting positions on the web |06 of a U-shaped spring clamp |08, the spring clamp being releasably engaged over the related channel bar, as shown in Figure 4.
The resilient clips project laterally outwardly from opposite sides of the channel bars 8B and 90. The clip arms are formed with 'corrugations t0 conformto the curved surface of the broom or mop handles. The free ends of the clip arms are extended laterally outwardly with respect to each other so that the handles can be easily slipped into and out of the clips without marring the surface of the handles of the brooms or mops.
Having thus described this invention, what is claimed is:
lIna display rack for brooms, a horizontal. base 4 composed of two inverted channel sections having longitudinally inward end portions sildably telescoped with each other and outwardly extending end portions terminating in outer ends, a standard fixed on and rising from each section, the standards being located adjacent to 'but spaced from the outer ends of the sections so as to denne broom head or broom handle end supporting surfaces, said standards comprising pairs of vertical bars spaced from each-other crosswise of said base, horizontal bars extending between and connected to upper portions of the vertical bars, some of said horizontal bars having broom handle-engaging means thereon for holding broomsresting upon said supporting surfaces, longitudinally inwardy extending channel bars having their longitudinally outward ends xed to others of said horizontal bars and having free longitudinally inward end portions telescopically and slidably engaged with each other so as to form, a top bar extendinglongitudinally between said standards, Said top bar having'broom handle` engaging means along its opposite sides for er1-- gagng handles of broomsresting upon said base between said standards. l
THEODORE LOONEY.
