SHOW-STAND.
SPECIFICATION forming par.: of Letters Patent No. 274,087, dated March 1e, lese.
vApplication tiled November 2l, 1882. (No model.)
Show-Stands,of whichthe following is a speciiication.` l
My invention rela-tes to improvements in stands for the exhibition of various kinds of goods, in which a series of shelves are adjustahly supported upbn a central shaft; andthe objects of my improvements are to provide means for the shelves to rest horizontally upon their supports, and at the same time protect the shaft so that its surface will not be defaced by the shelves placed upon the same. l attain 'i these objects by the constructionillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l represents a perspective viewof thestand.V Fig. 2 isal vertical section of the same.` Fig. 3 is a vertical section, on a large scale, of a portion of one ot the shelves and its snpport. Fig. 4 is a similar section, showing au modification of one Aof the shelf-supports. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of one of the shelfsupporting rings. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of one of the sheet-metal ferrules used inthe construction of the device.
Heretofore show-stands have been made with a series of shelves adapted to revolve around a standard or post, and they have been standard A are placed a series of shelves, B,
of uniform size, preferably made oflumber, and bored in the center. For this purpose two or more boards about eighteen inches longare joined together, and to their top surface are secured four cleats, b, about" one inch and a half high, and extending from one edge of the shelf to a point a little beyond its center,where they are arranged parallel in pairs to form a rectangularwell for the reception of the standard. Upon the edge of this well is secured a metal cap-plate, c, having in the center a hole about a sixteenth of an inch larger in diameter than the standard A, and to the under side of each shelf B, in the center thereof, is secured a metal plate, o', similarly perforated. To complete ea'ch shelf small boards cut in the form of brackets b are nailed to the upper edge of the cleats b, and `to one end of these brackets and the edge of the shelf are secured, w'ith nailsv or screws, scrolls or open-work brackets b2, giving to the stands an attractive and tasty ap pearance, so that they can be used as whatnots in households, as well as in stores for the display'ot' goods. The shelves can be adjusted at any desirable height by means of rings d, provided with a set-screw, d', and are secured to the shaft u-uder each shelf. As the position of the shelves may be changed often to receive different size goods, it is desirable that the surface of the standard should not be defaced by the metal cap-plates o and o ofthe shelves rubbing against it while revolved. To attain this object and cause the plates o c to lit snugly against their support, and thus increase the stability of the shelves, a Russia-iron or thin sheet-metal ferrule, e, is placed within each ring d, so thatits lower end will extend slightly under said ring d, and it is made ofsnch length that its upper end will project slightly above lthe metal cap-plate c f each shelf'. These ferrules are formed of a rectangular piece of thin sheet metal bent to form a cylinder, but with their edges left disconnected, as shown at e', so that their sides will bend under the press nre of the `set-screw d and tightly embrace the shaft, although substantially iilling the opening in the bearing-plates c and o' of the shelves. The upper end uof the supporting-rings d may also be provided with a series of lugs, el?, projecting upward, so that their upper end only rests against the bottom plate,o', ot'said shelves. To reduce the friction of the shelves upon their supporting-rings, while adding to their steadiness in revolving, these parts may be constructed as shown in Fig. 4, wherein the ring d is provided with an annular groove, d3, in its top surface, in which a few drops of oil may be placed, and the bottom plate, c', of the shelf has a series of pendent projections, o2, arra-n ged in a circular row to enter the groove d? and i ssv IOC)
2 armoe? i rest against the sides thereof, leaving a small space between the end of the projections c2 and the bottom of the groove in which the oil can remain undisturbed While revolving the shelves, but still keeping the frictional parts lubricated by capillary attraction.
Certain dimensions have been given above for some of the parts forming a stand; but the sizeof stands or parts thereof may vary to suit the demand, and the scrolls or brackets b2 can be made of sheet metal or of east metal, as well as of wood.
Having now fully described my invention, I claiml. The combination of a central shaft ofuniform diameter throughout its length, a series ot' rectangular shelves, B, of uniform size,
adapted to revolve independently of each other, and cleats b, secured upon their top surface, with perforated plates c c uniting the inner zo ends of the cleats, and shelf-supporting rings provided with setscrew, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. The combination of a stationary shaft, revolving shelves, and supporting-ring provid- 2 5 ed with a setscrew, with a sheet-metal ferrule placed around the shaft and entering the supporting-ring in front of the set-screw, substantially as and for the purpose described.
JOHN DANNER.
