HARRY FRANKEL, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
.DISPLAY-FIXTURE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 788,257, dated April 25, 1905. Application filed November 2, 1964. Serial No. 231,146.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HARRY FRANKEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Display-Fixtures, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
, My invention relates to fixtures for the displaying of hats, millinery, and other similar articles. Such articles are usually displayed on stands, on show-cases, or in show-windows and are intended for use throughout a considerable length of time. They are also subjected to considerable wear and consesequent deterioration.
I have sought to perfect a device which may be constructed economically and yet which will prove efficient in operation and be more durable and satisfactory than those in use.
I am aware that hat stands or rests have heretofore been made having three sharp vertical cast-metal points upon which the hat is adapted to rest and also constructions in which velvet or felt or rubber has been used for the supporting-surface. The cast-metal rests, having three sharp vertical points, are likely to injure the articles which are rested upon them. All those stands which employ fabric as a supporting surface deteriorate rapidly, and consequently become useless after a short time. They are all expensive to manufacture and unsightly.
My invention seeks to avoid all these difficulties. It is embodied in a stand having a supporting member formed of sheet metal with the edges turned upwardly and notched or scalloped. This affords a series of angular supporting edges which support a hat or similar article steadily and yet are not subj ected to wear or deterioration. The construction permits of a method of manufacture not heretofore known in articles of this character and which is more economical, the old forms having been made by casting or spinning. The top of the stand is blanked out with suitable dies, which form the notches in the edge. At the same time perforations may be stamped in the blank, so that the top when completed will be capable not only of supporting a hat,
but of suppbrting artificial flowers or other articles, if desired. The blank is also adapted to have its central portion stamped with a name or other device. After the blank is cut it is formed by suitable compressing-dies.
This forming process is preferably divided into two steps, the first of which partially forms the blank and the second completing it.
Details of a device embodying the principles of my invention will be found illustrated in the accompanying single sheet of drawings.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a complete stand, parts of the post, however, being broken away, so as to bring the principal elements within the limits of the drawings. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the top member of my inven tion. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the top and improved joining parts, the same being taken on a plane at right angles to Fig. l.
1 is a base suitably constructed.
2 is a tubular post secured thereto.
3 is a rod telescoping in the post 2. f is a set-screw for clamping the rod and post.
I 5 is a socket member having a tapped hole for removable engagement with the screwthreaded upper end of the rod 3.
6 is a top formed of sheet metal, preferably brass, and preferably brazed to the socket 5.
7 indicates the edge of the top member, which is cut or scalloped, substantially as shown.
8 indicates one of a series of perforations which may be provided, if desired.
The top is stamped or cut from a sheet of metal. The edges are then pressed upward convexly,lcaving a depressed central portion. Asecond operation gives a concave form about the inner edge. It will be noted that the outer edge of the top member, which is cut at substantially right angles to the horizontal in the stamping operation, is slightly inclined from the horizontal plane in the completed article. This forms a series of yielding knife-like edges for engagement with a hat or similar article. hen a hat, such as a derby, having a rather smooth inner surface is rested upon the top,
this series of edges affords a considerable frictional engagement, which while sufficient to hold the hat in position at various angles nevertheless in no way injures it. One or more of the scallops may be bent slightly to take a new shape to accommodate articles as desired.
9 is a spring attached to a vertically-slidable member 10. The spring engages with the rod 3 and is thus held in position on the rod. A card, tag, or other marking device can readily be slipped beneath the spring and held in position for display from the interior of a window, for instance.
The parts of the device are preferably all nickel-plated or otherwise finished.
The advantages of my invention other than those above suggested Will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
hat I claim is 1. In a display-fixture for hats and the like, the combination of a supporting-rod, a socket secured thereon, a top member formed of sheet metal, secured to said socket member and being curved upwardly and outwardly and having a notched or scalloped upturned edge for the purpose specified.
2. A top for a hat-display fixture formed of sheet metal and having a depressed center and a notchedouter edge integral therewith and curved outwardly and upwardly, substantially as described.
3; A top for a hat-display fixture comprising a sheet-metal body having an integral, sharp, upturned, notched or scalloped edge with a series of perforations for the purpose specified, and means for securing the top portion to a supporting rod or stand, substantially as described.
4:. In a display-fixture, the combination of a base, a supporting-rod and a top member formed of sheet metal and having integral therewith a series of curved knife-like metallic edges for supporting'a hat or similar device.
Signed at New York, N. Y., this 1st day of November, 1904.
HARRY FRANKEL.
