- Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed December 21, 1908.
Patented Aug. 3, 1909. Serial No. 468,485.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANCIS E. MARTIN, citizen of the United States, residinga't Ladysmith, in the county of Rusk and State of isconsin, have useful Improvements in Shelving, of which the following is a-specification.
This invention relates to shelving, es ecially-adapted for use in storesand the li e.
helving is usually secured to walls and is objectionable because it is fixed and cannot be adjusted to different positions, and also becauseit causes more or less injury to the walls.
By means of my invention shelving may be applied toand supported upon a counter of other base by means of standards resting thereon, saidstandar ds being provided with adjustable brackets vfor the purpose of holding-the shelves in any position desired, by which meansno injury to' the wall is done, can be accommodated to goods or articles of various sizes, more or less shelves being used as needed or desired, having advantages with respect to appearance and also effecting a saving of space, and be ing' more convenient in many other ways than the ordinary fixed shelving.
The invention is illustrated in the accom panying drawings in which Figure 1 is a front view in perspective showing the shelving applied to a counter.
2 is a rear view thereof.
In the embodiment shown a casing or counter is indicated at 6, provided with drawers 7 This forms a base for the shelving which is supported thereon.
The shelving comprises a series of standards 8 which are referably tubular and circular in form. Elech standard is cutaway for a portion of its length, at the lower end, producing a fractional or segmental part 9 which is flattened at its lower end as indicated at 10 to fit against the back of the counter or casing where it may be fastened by a screw 11. The standard is further held in position by means of a fixture consisting of a plate 12 with back .to engage over the edge of the projecting portion of the top of the counter, and upon the late 1.2 is a cuff or tubular socket piece 14 t rough which the lower end of the standard extends, said standard also extending through a hole or recess made .in the rear invented certain new and the additiona a depending flange 13 at the.
projecting edge of the counter, unuer the socket iece. A set screw 15 extends into the soc in place when it is adjusted'as desired. The fixture is attached to the counter by screws or otherwise.
The shelves'indicated at 16 are supported by brackets mounted on the standards. Each bracket consists of a sleeve or tubular part 17 of proper size to fit on the standard, and an arm 18 projecting from said sleeve and shaped to support the shelf. The brackets are fastened at adjustment or desired height by meansof set screws 19.
Obviously the brackets, and consequently the shelves, may be raised or'lowered as desired, and additional shelves can be added by slipping extra brackets upon the standards, at the top thereof. Thls allows extensive variation in the number and arrangement of the shelves, so that they can bebuilt up or arranged according to the different 0 asses of goods to be placed thereon. The standards and shelves are'supported wholly upon the counter or other base u on which they are mounted, and are capab e of being quickly put up or taken down. The supporting parts, and the shelves, if necessary, can be made in quantity and kept in stock at a factory, and being capable of application to any .Drdinary counter or cabinet, can be shipped for use without special parts or s ecial work, and in View of the simplicity of the structure, the shelving can be erected by anyone.
The standards may, if desired, be made in sections, as indicated at 20 in Fig. 1, whereby the standards can be extended to any length desired by fitting the lower reduced end of one section into the u per end of a lower section. The standards shelves leaves the whole ength or space of the shelves free, Without intervening partitions or supports, which is advantageous for the sake of a pearance and also because of space afforded. In addition to the vertical adjustment provided the brackets may be adjusted angularly on the standards, so as to support the shelving at corners or the like.
Th embodiment shown, but various the details of construction may be made within the scope of the invention.
