Definitions

  • the improved bracket assembly is dynamically stable;
  • the prong means is fixedly attached to a pivot pin which is slidably engaged within the bracket body.
  • the prong means are rotatable with the pivot pin to a non-forced locking position parallel to the perforated board.
  • the bracket body is then slid down on the pivot pin to retain the prong means securedly against the perforated board.
  • the bracket assembly is retained securedly against the perforated board without the prong means or any other part of the bracket assembly being made to undergo a forced depression or fit.
  • the present invention relates to improvements to the brackets of display units with vertical pins of bayonet shape penetrating holes in a vertical plate, the base of the pins bearing against the plate, the bayonet engaging in the hole.
  • Brackets of this type comprise a vertical part or support, at the top of which are located the bayonet shaped pins and one or more horizontal brackets serving for hanging products offered for sale.
  • the brackets In order to engage said brackets on the vertical plates provided with holes whose spacing corresponds to the spacing of the bayonet pins, it is necessary to lift the brackets in order to introduce the point of the bayonet into the plate, then to fold back the bracket integral with the bayonet or bayonets in order that the curved part of the latter is appropriately located in the holes of the vertical plate. In this manner, the bracket is retained horizontally with the end of the bayonet pins wedged behind the vertical plate and the lower part of the pins or supports bearing against the vertical plate on the visible part of the latter. To detach the bracket it is necessary to lift it whilst acting in the reverse manner.
  • brackets are fixed, that is to say that they are normally kept at right-angles to the vertical plate comprising holes which supports them.
  • brackets are fixed, that is to say that they are normally kept at right-angles to the vertical plate comprising holes which supports them.
  • the present invention is intended to remedy these drawbacks.
  • the bracket of the invention is characterized by the fact that the pin is divided into a vertical support part or base when the bracket is horizontal and into a part pivoted about a horizontal pivot pin in the manner of a lever of the first kind, with its horizontal pivot pin perpendicular to the bracket, its upper end in the form of a bayonet and its lower end being able to be locked on the support and by the fact that each of the horizontal parts of the bracket is pivoted about a vertical pivot pin on the base in order to be able to swing to the right and left so that is may possibly be folded back against the vertical plate comprising holes.
  • the pin is locked by wedging its lower end between the support and the vertical plate.
  • the pivot pin of the swinging part of the pin may move in slots allowing the lower portion of the swinging part to pass under the support, then to reascend into a locking notch between the support and the plate.
  • the pivoting of the bracket is produced by a vertical tubular housing integral with the vertical bayonet pins or the base, a housing in which a right-angled part of the bracket is engaged in order to be supported and retained therein by 2.
  • appropriate means which may be a projection of the lower part of the bracket in the tubular housing.
  • the tubular housing may be a section of tube welded to two cross-members connecting two vertical pins.
  • the tubular housing is formed by shaping the support having a U- shaped cross section in order to form a sleeve.
  • FIG, 1 is a perspective view of the bracket with the part pivoted about a horizontal pivot pin inclined with respect to the vertical part, base or support,
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the bracket with the part pivoted about a horizontal pivot pin applied against the vertical part, base or support,
  • FIG. 3, 4 and 5 show various stages of fixing the bracket to a vertical plate.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a pivoted bracket of the invention designed for the bracket securing device described in the above patent application.
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a pivoted bracket for an attachment device of customary type.
  • the bracket is constituted by a horizontal part 1 and a vertical part 2 and provided with bayonet shaped pins 3 and 4 which may penetrate holes 5, 6, 7 which have a corresponding spacing to that of a vertical plate 8.
  • the upper part of the pins 3, 4 comprises a vertical end 9, a vertical part 10, offset with respect to the end 9 and an oblique part 11 which connects the end 9 to the part 10.
  • the pins such as 3, 4 are no longer rigidly fixed to the horizontal part 1. They are divided into a support 13, base or vertical part, when the bracket 1 is horizontal and into a part pivoted about a horizontal pivot pin 14.
  • the part 14 is generally in the shape of a hairpin whose sides are connected by a pin 15 which is welded perpendicularly to said sides, which outwardly surround the support or base 13 at the point where the latter comprises vertical slots 16 in which the pin 15 passes.
  • the part 14 pivoted about a horizontal pivot pin is in the form of a lever of the first type, that is to say a lever whose fulcrum constituted by the 3 pin 15 is located between the two ends and the pin 15 is practically perpendicular to the horizontal part 1 of the bracket.
  • the upper ends of the part 14 are in the form of a bayonet exactly as has been described for brackets existing before the invention.
  • the lower end of the part 14 is able to be locked at the lower part of the support or base 13.
  • the curved part 17 of the member 14 which connects the two pins 3 and 4 may pass below the support 13 when the pin 15 is located at the lower part of the slot 16 (FIGS. 3 and 4), on the other hand, when the pin 15 is located at the top of the slot 16, the part 17 abuts against the support or base 13 either in front of or at the rear of the latter.
  • the part 17 is passed under the support or base 13 in order to wedge said part 17 between the support 13 and the plate 8 (FIG. 5).
  • a notch 18 is provided at the base of the support 13, said notch 18 having a slope ensuring the wedging of the part 17.
  • FIGS. 3, 4, 5 show that at the time of folding the part 14 downwards, it is necessary to place the pin 15 in the lower part of the slot 16 in order to slide the part 17 under the support 13 and to engage said part 17 in the notch 18.
  • the locking of the part 17 in the notch 18 between the support 13 and the plate 8 takes place by sliding the bracket arrangement (FIG.
  • bracket when it is desired to disengage the bracket from the plate 8, it is necessary to exert a sliding movement on the bracket arrangement parallel to itself, vertically along the plate 8, the reverse movement to that indicated by arrow 19, in order to disengage the notch 18 from the part 17 and to allow said part 17 to pass under the support 13 by pivoting into the position shown in FIG. 4 but in the opposite direction to arrow 20. At this time, the bracket may be disengaged virtually horizontally without disturbing the brackets located thereabove.
  • the bracket is constituted by a horizontal part 101 and a vertical part 102 with bayonet-shaped pins 3 and 4 which may penetrate holes 5 having a spacing corresponding to that of a vertical plate 8.
  • the pins 3 and 4 are pivoted by a pin 15 on a support 13 having a U- shaped cross section, to which is fixed the vertical part 102 of the bracket 101.
  • the invention consists of providing, at the time of shaping the support 13, a sleeve 21 of tubular section into which the part 102 may pass and rotate. The latter is retained in the sleeve 21 by a projection 22 provided at its lower part.
  • the refnainder of the racket is similar to that which was de- 4 scribed in the above-mentioned patent application.
  • the pin 15 may displace in a slot 16 in order that the lower part 17 may be located in the notch 18.
  • the horizontal bracket 111 comprises a vertical part 112 which pivots in a section of tube 23 welded to a cross-member 24 and to the lower part 25 which connects the two pins 3 and 4.
  • the latter comprise vertical parts 10 and ends 9 of bayonet shape.
  • the lower end of the vertical part 112 is bent in order to be retained in the section of tube 23.
  • bracket of the invention is that the locking prevents its theft from the plates of the display unit.
  • the horizontal part 101 or the horizontal part 111 may swing (arrows 26 and 27) to the right and left so that it may possibly be folded back against the vertical plate 8 comprising holes.
  • the vertical displacement of the bracket (arrow 28 and arrow 29) in the sleeve 21 or in the section of tube 23 is prevented by the projection 22 or the lower curvature of the bracket.
  • FIG. 6 it is seen how support arm 101 is pivotable about bracket body means 13, so that support arm 101 may be swung out of the way when not in immediate use.
  • the dynamic stability of the improved article-surrounding bracket assembly for perforated panels of the present ivnention is shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, which delineate the insertion of the bracket assembly of the present invention into a perforated board without the use of force which tends to knock articles off the support arm 101 during the insertion of the bracket assembly into the normally fragile, unstable perforated boards.
  • prong means 14 are partially inserted into the perforated panel perpendicular to the perforated panel while the bracket means 13 are in their final position flush against the perforated panel.
  • Prong means 14 is then subsequently pivoted on pivot pin 15 which is securely attached and both pivotally and slidingly engaged in slot 16 of bracket means 13.
  • the pivoting of prong means 14 brings ends 9 in position behind the perforated panel and end 17 parallel and flush with the perforated panel.
  • Bracket means 13 is then slid down pin 15 in the direction of the arrow 19 such that notch of bracket means 13 slides over end 17 of prong means 14 so that prong means 14 is firmly secured against the perforated panel without the use of force.
  • bracket assembly dynamically stable since previously known devices which required force to secure the bracket assembly to the perforated board tended to knock the articles off the article-receiving hook when the brackets were removed.
  • a dynamically stable article-supporting bracket assembly for perforated panels comprising:
  • prong means fixedly attached to said pivot pin
  • bracket means securely attached to said pivot pin and said prong means
  • said pivot pin rotoatably positioned within said bracket means such that said prong means may be partially inserted into a perforated panel perpendicular to the panel when said bracket means are in a final position of said bracket means, with subsequent pivoting of said prong means with said pivot pin while said bracket means remain unmoved, to a non-forced locking position of said prong means parallel to the panel;
  • said pivot pin and said bracket means being mutually slidable with respect to each other, and said prong means and said bracket means being mutually relatively sized, such that after said prong means have been inserted in the panel and then pivoted to the non-forced locking position of said prong means, said bracket means may be slid over a portion of the prong means to firmly secure the prong means against the perforated panel.
  • An article-supporting bracket assembly for perforated panels comprising:
  • prong means fixedly attached to said pivot pin
  • bracket means securely attached to said pivot pin and said prong means
  • bracket means wherein a portion of said bracket means is adapted, after said prong means has been secured behind the 6. perforated panel, to be slid over a portion of said prong means, thereby securing said prong means against the perforated panel behind said bracket means.
  • An article-supporting bracket assembly for perforated panels comprising:
  • prong means fixedly attached to said pivot pin
  • bracket means securely attached to said pivot pin and said prong means
  • pivot pin is rotatably positioned within said bracket means such that said prong means may be partially inserted into a perforated panel perpendicular to the panel when said bracket means are in a final position of said bracket means, with subsequent pivoting of said prong means with said pivot pins while said bracket means remain unmoved, to a non-forced locking position of said prong means parallel to the panel.
