UNITED STATES SHOW-STAN D.

SFECIFICATIOIJ forming part of Letters Patent No. 323,631, dated August 4, 1885.

Application filed July 13, 1884.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1', Monnis BRENNER, of New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in ShowStands; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in con nection with accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear. and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent in Figure l, a perspective view; Fig. 2, a transverse section.

This invention relates to a stand for the exhibition of neckties, designed to be used in showcases. The usual method of exhibiting these articles in boxes, and where but one or two can be seen. they lying one upon another in the box, such boxes occupy considerable space in the show-case, and in order to exhibit them to customers the whole box must be removed, as those underlying cannot be seen until those above are removed.

The object of my invention is a device which may stand in the show-case and upon which a large number of ties may be exposed to view and within a much less space than the box would occupy containing the same number of ties; and it consists in a frame provided with parallel slat-s inclined backward and upward, each slat having a series of upwardly-projecting hooks, upon which the ties may be hung and so as to expose the knot above the frame, leaving room for the ends to hang below, as as more fully hereinafter described.

A A represent two frames, which form the ends of the stand, the upper cross-bar preferably inclined. Between the frames a series of parallel bars, 13, extend, connecting the two frames. These bars are also inclined backward from the front, the lower side of the frame being understood to bethc front. Upon the upper edge of these bars a series of hooks,

(No model.)

a, are arranged, preferably made from wire, and so as to enter into a loop or some portion of the necktie upon its rear side.

The bars B B may be rigidly fixed to the frames and so that the frames and bars may be handled together as one article and set into.

a show-ease, and so that, if desired, the merchant may removeastaud entire from the showcase; or the standards may be made fast to the floor of the show-case and the bars removable from their respective slots in the frame.

The ties are arranged upon the hooks as seen in Fig. 1, each held by its own independent hoolc. There being a space between the bars, either of the ties on the frame may be removed by reaching beneath the bars and, taking hold of the particular one required, lift it from its hook, and by areverse operation it may be readily reset upon its hook or another in its place.

A show-stand of this construction, occupying no more space than would a box for half a dozen ties, will readily support three or four times that number, and expose each and every one in a neat and tasteful manner, as well as permitting their arrangement so that either may be conveniently taken from the stand without interfering with others.

The inclination of the bars forms abase upon which the tics will lie and cause their faces to be turned upward to such an extent as to properly expose them to view.

I claim A show-stand consisting of the frames A A and bars B B,extending between said frames and supported thereby, the said bars inclined backward and upward and each of said bars provided with a series of hooks, substantially as described.
