DISPLAY RACK.
Application filed June 17,
' This invention relatesto improvements in display racks, and more particularly to racks of the pedestal type" with adjustably swinging rods for the display of goods best shownby draping or hanging, such as piece goods, needlework, linens, table coverings, and the like.
The object of the invention is toprovide a novel construction for display racks calculated to embrace such desirable-features as simplicity and strength of construction, convenience of assembly andadjustment,- and adaptability to different classes of goods and places where the goods are displayed.
A preferred embodiment of'the invention is disclosed in the accompanying drawing, in wl1ich- Figure 1 is'a perspectiveview of the complete rack with the rods evenly distributed ina semi-circle.
Figure 2 is anenlarged detail View invert tical section through the head of the rack. Figure 3 is a top plan view of the head with the cap and some of the rods removed; and
Figure 4 is a perspective view of one of the rods.
' The rack comprises in general a pedestal 1 having a head 2 at its upper end from which 30 a plurality of horizontal swinging rods 3 radiate. The pedestal stands at a height of about two feet and the rods extend outwardly about the same distance from the pedestal, although their dimensions may vary for racks of different sizes. The pedestal consists of a solid rod 4 extending through a. square wooden base 5 surrounded by a large circular metal cap plate 6, the exact construction of the base being a matter of choice in design.
The head 2 is detachably mounted at the end of the pedestal and is preferably of solid metal body 7 of inverted cone or hell shape, having a socket 7 fitting the end of the rod 4 and held by a thumb screw 8. The top surface of the body 7 provides a circular bearing surface for the rods 3, and has an elevated sector 9 of less than a semi-circle and forming a straight shoulder 9 coinciding with an imaginary chord spaced from the center of the circular bearing surface and of a height substantially equal to the diameter of the rods 3. This shoulder 9? in the normal position of the rack faces forwardly so that the elevated sector may be regarded as being at the back thereof. At the center of the supthe boss; and still another 1927. Serial No. 199,434.
porting face is a boss 10 with tapped hole 10?- extending downwardly therein, and
around this base are grouped a seriesof holes the center of theboss 10, they; will be found to be grouped in pairs symmetrically on either side of this'line, as shown in Figure 3. One pairlies adjacent to the shoulder '9 behind the boss 10; another pair furtherioutwardly on opposite sides and slightly behind the boss; another pair'on either side and near pairiclose to and slightly forward of the boss. 1
The rods 3 have one of their ends bent at right angles to form short arms 3'5 whichfit into thesocketsll and'permit'certain of the rods to swing, there being one pair which is preferably held against swinging movement, this being therearmost pair which extends outwardly in opposite directions parallel with the shoulder 95, and held against swinging by stop pins12 inserted into the face of the supporting surface just in'front of the rods. The remaining rods, however, are free to swing within arcs limited by contact with the other arms. Thus the three corresponding pairs of arms on each side of the rack (considering the shoulder 9 as defining the back) have relatively free swinging movement in an are somewhat more than so that it is possible to arrange the rods uniformly as the spokes .of a wheel or with an irregular angular spacing by swinging the loose pairs of rods to any desired position within their normal arc of movement.
Surmounting the rod supporting head is a semispherical cap or dome 13 bearing throughout a portion of its periphery against the elevated portion 9 of said head, the 're-' maining portion of its periphery being spaced from the lower or depressed surface of the head and forming therewith a curved slot 14 through which'therods project and swing for the purpose of adjustment. The cap is re movably held in place by a cap'screw 15 extending vertically through its center and anchored in the tapped boss 10. 1 By tightening the bolt, the edge of the cap is held tightly against the rods to hold them against free swinging movement, and by loosening the same, the rods can be readily adjusted to any desired angle.
The rack as thus constructed and assembled is suitable for use in windows, counters a head mounted at the end of said pedestal and having an upwardly facing bearing surface, a portlon of sald surface being elevated to provide a sector of less than a semi-circle havinga straight shoulder, a plurality of rods having their inner ends bent at right angles for insertion in sockets formed inthe depressed portion of said bearing surface and grouped around the center thereof, a boss at the center of said bearing surface, a cap surmounting said head and bearing throughout a portion of its edgeon'the elevated portion of said bearing surface, the remaining portion of its edge forming with said bearing surface a guide slot for said rods, and a cap screw extending through said cap and anchored in said boss.
2. A display rack comprising a pedestal, a head mounted at the end of said pedestal and having anupwardly facing bear-ing surface,-a portion of said surface being elevated to provlde a sector of-less than a semi-circle having a straight shoulder, a. plurality of rods having their inner ends bent at right angles for insertion in socketsformed inthe depressed portion of said bearing surface and grouped around the center thereof, two of saidrods being held against swinging movement against's'aidshoulder, and a cap surmounting said head and bearingthroughout a portion of its edge on theelevated portion of said bearing surface, the remaining por-'- tion of its edge being spaced from said depressed portion of the bearing surface and forming therewith aguide slot for the swinging rods.
3.'A display rack comprising a supporting member having an upwardly facing annular bearing surface at its top, a portion of said bearing surface being elevated, a plurality of rods pivotally mounted, at their inner ends on the depressed-portion of said bearing surface, and a cap adjustably mounted with said head and having a portion of its edge bearing on the elevated portion of said bearing surface and a free edge portion bearing upon said rods.
45; A display rack comprising a supporting member having an upwardly facing annular bearing surface at its top, a'portion of said bearing surface being elevatedand forming a straight shoulder, a plurality of rods have ing their inner ends pivoted in sockets in the depressed portion of said bearing surface, a cap member mounted on said supporting member and having a portion of its edge bearing on the elevated portion of said bearing surface and the remaining edge portion having frictional contact with said rods, and
means for adjusting said cap.
