Mow/v A. Mad-LL51? J OI-IN L. MUELLER, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
OIL-CLOTH STAND.
Application filed December 18, 1916.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN L. MUELLER, a citizen of the United States, and residing at :St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Oil-Cloth Stands, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to display standsdesigned especially for handling, oilcloth or other material in rolls. 7
The invention, which follows as an improvement on that disclosed in Letters Patent No. 1,144,229, granted to me June 22, 1915, has among its objects to simplify the construction and reduce the cost of production of such devices, without impairing their strength and durability.
Further objects are to conserve in the improved stand, means for maintaining the material in neat compact form while on display and for permitting ready removal oflithe rolls .of material from the stand, at W1 WVith these and other objects in view, the invention comprises the novel features of construction and combination of parts more fully hereinafter described. I
1n the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a display tand embodying this invention;
Fig. 2 is an end elevation thereof;
Fig. 3' is a horizontal sectional plan view of the same, the section being taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a detail, perspective view of one of the clamps.
Referring to the drawing, 1 designates a supporting base preferably in the form of an open rectangular frame mounted on suitable legs 2, and carrying upright end bars or standards 3, appropriately attached at their lower ends to the base 1 and equipped at their upper ends with cross-bars or heads 4, suitably connected on the standards, as by means of struts 5, the pair of standards being in turn connected by cross-braces 6, and constituting, together with the crossbars 4, a braced superstructure or frame rigidly sustained on the base 1.
The display stand embodies a carrier adapted to receive and hold the rolls 7 of oilcloth, or other material, to be displayed. This carrier, which stands verticallv on the base 1 and serves to hold the rolls 7 in upright position, comprises carrier plates 8 and 9 connected by vertical brace-rods 10 Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Dec. 31, 1918.
Serial No. 137,677.
terminally engaged with said plates, of which the lower plates 8 rest directly upon the base 1 and are provided with recesses 11 forming seats for the lower ends of the rolls 7, while the u per plates 9, which rest on the cross-bars or heads 4, are provided with openings 12, alining vertically with the seats 11, and adapted to receive, respectively, the upper ends of the rolls of goods. At this point it is to be noted that the lower plates 8, through the agency of the seats or recesses 11, serve to support the rolls 7 axially, that is, in upright position, and to prevent lateral displacement of the lower ends of the rolls, while the upper plates 9 are adapted, through the medium of the roll receiving openings 12, to prevent lateral displacement of the rolls at their upper ends. It will also be observed that by positioning the brace-rods 10, at the inner edges of the carrier plates, as shown, they will in no wise obscure the goods on display or interfere withthe ready introduction of therolls into, or their removal from, the carrier.
The end bars or standards 3 are each connected, at a point near its longitudinal center, with the adjacent rods 10, by means of tie-braces 13'disposed between andsuitably attached to said parts for mutually bracing and strengthening them, these braces, which serve to hold the rods 10 rigid and also operate as end brackets, terminally support a horizontal clamp-retaining bar or member 14 extending centrally through the carrier frame.
The bar 14 is designed tosupp'ort a series of outwardly facing clamps 15 adapted one to each of the rolls 7 and each provided at its inner end with an eye 16 (as shown more clearly in Fig. 4) arranged to receive a bolt 17 for attaching the clamp to the bar. The clamps are each formed from a suitable length of spring steel bent into shape to provide a pair of cooperating clamping jaws 18, having grounded outer ends 19, spaced apart, as shown, sufliciently to permit ready introduction of the roll of goods between the jaws 18 which will close automatically into clamping engagement with said roll.
When arranged on display in the carrier, the rolls 7 rest at their lower ends, respectively, in the recesses 11, with their upper ends projecting upwardly through the corresponding openings 12, the rolls being at this time engaged between their ends, each with one of the clamps 15 whereby the oilcloth or other material will be maintained in vertical position and in a snugly rolled condition. It is to be understood that in thus introducing the rolls into the carrier, the upper end of each roll is first inserted upward through one of the openings 12, sufficientlv for the lower end of the roll to clear the lower plate 8, whereupon the roll may be moved laterally inward between the jaws 18 of the appropriate clamp and with its lower end finally seated in the corresponding seat or recess 11, while removal of one of the rolls from the carrier is accomplished by first lifting the roll sufliciently to disengage its lower end from the recess 11, and'then moving the roll laterally outward until it is freed from the clamping jaws 18- whereupon its upper end may be' readily withdrawn from the opening in the upper plate 9. Attention is directed to the fact that because of the clamps 15 facing outwardly, and opening laterally, as shown, not only can the rolls be readily introduced into, or removed from, the carrier, but the rolls may be placed close together within the stand, thus adapting a stand of a given size to display amaximum number of rolls.
Mounted over the upper carrier plates 9 and bolted or otherwise detachably secured thereto, is a sheet metal hood or cover 20, which covers and protects the upper ends of the roll 7 and is of sufficient depth to permit movement of the rolls in the operation of inserting them into, or removing them from, the carrier in the manner above explained. As the rolls frequently vary somewhat in length and would, therefore, present an unattractive appearance if their upper ends were exposed to view, the cover 20 serves to obviate this possible objection by concealing the upper ends of the roll from view.
without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. 7
Having thus described the invention wha is claimed is: V
1. A display stand for rolls of goods comprising, a base having end standards'provided with cross-heads, upper and lower.
carrier plates mounted respectively on said cross-heads and said base, said plates having means for engaging the ends of the rolls, constructed and arranged to support the lat-' ter axially and against lateral displacement, a clamp supporting bar connected on said standards, and outwardly facing and laterally opening clamps sustained on said bar, said clamps being adapted one to each of the rolls and for engaging the same between its ends.
2. A display stand for rolls of goods comprising a base, end standards mounted thereon, a carrier supported on said base and including upper and lower carrier plateshaving seats adapted to engage the ends of the rolls and constructed and arranged to sup port the latter axially and against lateral displacement, rods connecting said plates and braced from said standards, outwardly facing and laterally opening clamps connected and sustained in operative relation to said carrier, said clamps being adapted one to each of said rolls and forengaging the same between its ends.
