Definitions

  • a yard goods display stand has a vertically extending central support member to which at least two vertically spaced racks are secured; each rack has a series of radial slots therein which extend to the outer edge of the rack and which are vertically aligned with the slots of the other rack to permit insertion of the ends of fabric bolts in opposed slots for support on the stand.
  • a circular stand is provided on which bolts of fabric are displayed vertically in radial positions so that a customer can see a large portion of the fabric on each bolt without removing it from the stand. Once a bolt has been selected, however, it easily can be removed from the stand without disturbing the adjacent bolts.
  • the stand includes a vertically extending tubular support member on which at least two circular support racks are adjustably mounted in vertically spaced locations.
  • the racks each have slots formed on their vertically opposed horizontal surfaces which are adapted to receive the ends of the fabric bolts.
  • the slots extend radially inwardly from the outer edges of the racks and corresponding slots in each rack are located in vertical alignment so that a fabric bolt may be removably supported therebetween.
  • the tubular support member is rotatably mounted in the base of the stand to permit a customer to rotate the stand and thus view all bolts of fabric on the stand from one position.
  • FIG. l is a perspective view of a yard goods display stand according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line 2-2 of FIG. l, but with the bolt of fabric removed for clarity;
  • FIG. 3 is a planar development of a radial sectional view of one of the racks taken along the line 3-3 of FIG. 1.
  • a yard goods display stand l0 Vembodying the present invention has a base l2 including a vertically extending tubular support member 14 and four spaced racks 16 mounted on member 14 for supporting fabric bolts 18 therebetween.
  • the fabric of bolts 18 is commonly wound on a light-weight supporting mandrel 19, such as of cardboard.
  • the length of mandrel 19 depends on the width of the fabric wound thereon and slightly exceeds that width so that a portion of the mandrel extends from each end of the fabric wound thereon.
  • the width of the fabric bolt to be displayed (or the length of the mandrel on which it is wound) must first be determined and racks 16 spaced accordingly to accommodate the bolt.
  • Easy spacing of racks 16 along support member 14 is effected by moving collars 28, which support racks 16, along member 14, where they engage cooperatively with diametrically paired apertures 40 in said member.
  • display stand 10 is rotatable about its vertical axis to permit ready viewing of fabric bolts mounted thereon.
  • lower end 42 of support member 14 is engaged (e.g. by threading) with annular flange 44 attached to the top of upper support plate 46.
  • Support plate 46 is secured to a bearing assembly 43 comprising two similarly shaped reverse-facing plates 48 and 45 having a set of ball bearings 50 therebetween.
  • Facing plate 45 is attached to base plate 51 of base 12 whereby upper plate 48 is free to rotate about pivot axis 49 on bearings 50.
  • Base 12 includes vertical wall 52 which is attached to and extends around the periphery of base plate 51.
  • Racks 16 may be of any suitable material such as wood, metal or plastic. Because of the weight imparted to the display stand by the fabric displayed thereon, it is preferred to keep the weight of the stand per se to a minimum.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 of the drawings show a preferred embodiment in which racks 16 are hollow. Such hollow racks are suitably made, for example, by joining two light-weight annular molded plastic shells.
  • FIG. 2 shows two such shells joined along peripheral seam 21 and central seam 2l' in a back-to-back relationship to form rack 16 having upper face 22 and lower face 22'.
  • the shells forming rack 16 surround collar 28 and are supported by flange 30 forming part of the collar.
  • Rack 16 is affixed to collar 28 by bolts 34 extending into flange 30. Spacers 36 surrounding bolts 34 separate and strengthen the shells to prevent collapse thereof upon tightening of bolts 34.
  • the shells define slots in rack 16.
  • rack 16 may-if of a hollow construction as hereinbefore discussed-be provided with more centrally positioned corrugations 24 which serve to strengthen it.
  • corrugations 24 respectively extend into an area defined between projections of adjacent slots 20.
  • these corrugations extend from a centrally depressed area 24', having a lesser thickness than the remainder of the rack (see FIG. 2).
  • the corrugations 24 serve to further strengthen the hollow rack adjacent its connection to the central support 14.
  • the flattened radial sectional view of FIG. 3 best shows the relationship of spaced reinforcing corrugations 24 and slots 20 for receiving fabric bolts in rack 16.
  • a display stand for bolts of yard goods comprising a base, a vertically extending support member mounted on said base, and at least two hollow support racks for said bolts of yard goods secured to said support member in vertically spaced relation, said hollow racks being formed of a lightweight material and having slots formed on their opposed horizontally extending surfaces, said slots extending inwardly from the outer edge of their associated rack with corresponding slots in said racks being positioned'in vertical alignment, whereby the ends of a bolt of yard goods may be respectively received in a selected pair of opposed aligned slots for supporting said bolt in the stand; said hollow racks having a plurality of independent corrugations formed therein adjacent to the point of connection of said racks to said support member, thereby to strengthen said racks at said point of connection.
  • said racks are generally circular hollow members'each of which has an aperture formed in its center for receiving said support member and includes means for securing the rack to said support member, said slots extending generally radially about the periphery of their associated rack and said corrugations extending radially of their associated rack adjacent said support member, with at least one of said corrugations being located generally in the area between a the extended inner end of each adjacent pair of slots.
  • a display stand as defined in claim 5 wherein said means for securing said rack to said flange comprises a plurality of bolts operatively connected between said rack and said flange and a plurality of spacers contained within said rack and individually associated with said bolts for rigidifying said central circular area of said racks.
  • a display stand as defined in claim 6 including means for varying the vertical position of said racks on said support member.
  • a display stand as defined in claim 7 including means for rotatably mounting said support member on said base.
  • a display stand as defined in claim l0 including means for rotatably mounting said support member on said base.
