DIPLAYwFIXTURE.

To all whom it may concern:. 1

Be it known that I, WILLIAM EDGAR TAY- LOR, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a new and Improved Display-Fixture, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. I

The object of the invention is to provide a new and im ro'ved display fixture, more especially deslgned for advanta eously displaying wall papers and the li (e, and arranged to accommodate a number of wall papers in proper position for view and selection by a customer, and to permit of con veniently removing any one of the displayed wall papers and replacing the same by another.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same,

which will be more fully described hereinafter and then'pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in

which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a front perspeetlve view of the improvement, with all the panels except one removed; Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view of the same on the line 2-2of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a similar view of the same showing the parts in a different position.

A suitably constructed frame or support A is fastened by screws B, or similar fastening devices, to a wall C or the like, and on the said support A are arranged forwardly projecting bearings D, in which is mounted the vertical shaft or red E, set at its lower end in-a step F attached to the floor. On

the shaft E are secured brackets G, of ap; proximately semicircular shape, provided at their peripheral faces with spaced eyes H, for engagement by hooks I, secured on one side of panels J, on which are stretched and secured the wall papers K to be displayed. Now by the arrangement described, the shaft E and the brackets G form a rack, capable of being turned to bring the panels J to the front or to either side, as will be readily understood by reference to Figs. 2 and 3. By connecting the panels J with the brackets G in the manner described, each individual panel J can be readily swung on the supporting brackets, to bring the wall paper K into the proper displayed position,

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Application filed. April 15, 1909. Serial No. 490,018.

Apr. 26, 1910 as will be understood by reference to Fig.1. Thus the panels J are mounted to swing in dependcn tly one of the other on the rackxand move bodily ,with the rackwhen the latter is turned.

When the device is not in use, the rack is turned so as to bring thes'everal panels J parallel with the wall at either side of the support, so that the display fixture takes up very little room when not- 1n use. i

Each of the brackets Gris provided at the middle of its peripheral face with a in. L for the next adjacent panel J to a ut against, to allow of conveniently turning the rack and the panels into either a side or. front position, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. When the panel adjacent to one side of the pins L is swung against the pins the brackets G, carrying the panels are moved in one direction, and when the panel adjacent the other side of the'pi-ns L is swung against the pins the brackets are moved in the oppo-' site direction.

The display fixture is .very simple and durable in construction, and permits of conveniently removing any one of the panels J whenever it is desired to change the wall paper thereon, and to allow the placing of another panel in position of the removed one.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters mounted to turn and provided with horizontally disposed brackets, panels h ungsat one side on the peripheral faces of the brackets to swing thereon, and means on the brackets for engagement by adjacent panels to move the rack bodily.

3. A display fixture, comprisin a port, a rack mounted to turnon sai supporfi,

and provided with horizontally disposdfl semi-circular brackets, a pin projecting' froiii approximately semi-circular-shape secured ;on said shaft one above the other, panels tached to the said shaft one above the other,

the rack when the latter is turned.-

4. A display fixture, comprising a sup ort consisting, of vertical standards secure to a wall or the like, forwardly pro ect1ng bearings arranged on said support, va. vertical shaft mounted in said bearings, a step for the lower end of said shaft, brackets of carryingwall papers and-removably mounted to swmg on the peripheral faces of said brackets, and projections on the brackets: at the peripheral face thereof and arranged to extendetween two of said panels, for

'- the pu ose set forth.

5. A isplay fixture, comprising a support having bearings, a central shaft mounted to turn in the said bearings, brackets atpanels carrying wall pa ers and removably hung to swing on the sai I brackets, and pinson the said brackets at the middle of the peripheral faces of the brackets.

6. A display fixture com rising a sup ort consisting of vertical stan ards, secure to a wall or the like, brackets each having arms secured to said standards and projecting forwardly therefrom and terminating in a bearin a vertical shaft mounted to turn in sai bearings, a step for the lower end of said shaft, horizontally disposed semicircular brackets arranged on sa1d shaft one above the other and between the said bearings, means for securing the brackets to the shaft to turn therewith, and anels removably mounted to swing on t e peripheral faces of the brackets,

In testimony whereof I have signed my 7 name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.-

WILLIAM EDGAR TAYLOR.
