ATTACHMENT FOR T-STANDS.

ATTACHMENT FOR T-STANDS.
Application filed July 27,
T 0 all to 7mm it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN S. AnAMsoN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of San Antonio, in the county of Bexar and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for T-Stands, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is an improvement in attachments for T stands, and has for its object to provide an attachment of the character specified, especially adapted for displaying compo-board and the like, but also adapted to display articles of merchandise of any character, and adapted to be attached to a stand having a vertical rod, in such manner that the attachment may be easily attached to and removed from the rod, may be adjusted vertically of the rod, and wherein the means which engages the article may be adjusted toward and from the rod.
In the drawings,
Figure 1 is a top planview of the improved attachment,
Fig. 2 is a side view.
The attachment comprises arod 1, of suitable material, having adjustably connected therewith a clamp for engaging the rod of the stand. This clamp is supported by a sleeve 2, which is mounted to slide on the rod, and it is held in adjusted position on the rod by means of set screws 3, which are threaded through bosses at the ends of the sleeve, and on the under side thereof. The clamp comprises a fixed jaw 41:, which is rigidly connected to the sleeve by a laterally extending arm 5 at one end of the jaw and sleeve, the other end of the jaw bearing against the sleeve, as clearly shown in Fig. 1, and a movable aw 7 is hinged to the fixed jaw at the end adjacent to the arm 5.
The jaws, at the end remote from the arm, are shaped to fit about the rod or standard of the stand (not shown), the jaws being grooved transversely, as shown at 8, for this purpose, and two grooves are provided in each jaw, the corresponding member of the pairs of grooves registering, and the grooves of each jaw being of unequal depth, so that the lamp is fitted to engage rods or standards of varying size.
Each jaw, 4 and 7, has intermediate its ends a laterally enlarged portion 9, and at Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 2, 1921.
1920. Serial No. 399,225.
the said portions 9, the jaws are perforated to receive a bolt-10. This bolt passes outwardly through the jaws, and is engaged by a wing nut 11 outside of the jaw 7. It will be obvious that by turning the nut, the jaws may be clamped upon the standard or released therefrom. 1
At the opposite end, the rod has an enlarged, rounded, conical socket 12, the axis of the socket being transverse to the rod, and within this socket there fits a head 13 on a movable section 14 of the rod. The socket is cupshaped, having the small end thereof closed, and at this small end there extends upwardly an axial stem 15, which passes upwardly through an axial opening in the head, and is engaged by a wing nut 16 above the head. By loosening the nut, it will be obvious that the movable section 14 may be turned angularly with respect to the main portion of the rod and may be clamped in adjusted position by tightening the nut.
At its outer end, the rod has rigid therewith, a head or disk 17, and with this head or disk cooperates the head 18 of a screw 19, which is threaded into an axial opening in the head and movable portion of the rod.
In use, the attachments may be made in lengths to suit, and they are engaged with the standard of the T stand by loosening the clamp, and engaging the jaws with the standard. The rod may be adjusted with respect to the standard by loosening the set screws 8 and moving the rod longitudinally.
The compo-board, or other article to be displayed, is held between the heads 17 and 18, a hole being formed in the board for receiving the screw 19. After the compoboard has been engaged with the movable portion of the rod, this portion of the rod may be adjusted to bring the compo-board, or other article, in to the best display position, by loosening the wing nut 16.
It will be obvious that the article dis played may be adjusted toward and from the stand, may be adjusted vertical with respect to the stand, and may be adjusted angularly to cause the plane thereof to take various angles with resepct to the axis of the stand.
The device is also designed to be attached to a horizontal rod, and will work equally Well in this position. In addition to the adjustments above mentioned, the rod may be turned angularly in the sleeve.
I claim:
1. An attachment for display stands comprising a rod having means whereby the same may be secured to a display stand, said rod having one end enlarged and formed with a conical socket having its axis extend ing at right angles to the axis of the rod, an arm having a conical head fitted within said conical socket and having a central opening provided with smooth side walls a threaded stem extending upwardlytrom the bottom wall of said socket and through the opening in said head, a head retaining nut secured on said stem, and article engaging means carried by the end of said arm.
2. An attachment for display stands comprising a rod a sleeve adjustably secured thereon and provided with a lateral exten sion at oneend, a jaw formed integral with said extension and engaging said sleeve, a second jaw associated with said first named jaw, means adjustably connecting said aws, one end of said rod being enlarged and formed with a conical socket having its axis extending at right angles to the axis of the rod, an arm having a conical head fitted within said socket and having a central opening provided with smooth side walls, a threaded stem extending upwardly from the bottom wall of said socket and through the opening in said head, a head retaining nut threaded on said stem, and article engaging means carried by the ends of said arms.
