DCCQZ', 193.8.- I E, KARFlQL `2,141,606,
SHELF EDGING Filed Oct. 27, 1937 INVENTOR.' Edward Kdrfiol i fm/M Patented Dec. 27, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE y 10 Claims.
This application is a continuation-in-part of application, Serial No. 69,294, filed March 14, 19.36, which matured into Patent No. 2,107,669, dated February 8, 1938.
The invention relates to shelf edgings with or without an associated shelf covering portion adapted to overlie the upper surface of the shelf and the object of the invention is to longitudinally reinforce or stiften a multi-ply edging vof 10 nov-el construction by folding over upper and lower margins of one or more of the plies so as to overlie facial portions of other plies, to the end that the edging may properly conform to the edge of the shelf and present a neat, tailored l appearance.
This form of the invention is characterized by 30 as illustrative, only, and'not as defining the limits of the invention.
Figures 1, 2 and 3 are fragmental perspective views illustrating different illustrative forms of the invention.
It is felt that the invention will 'be more clearly apparent by showing thickness of the material entering into each of the plies in the form 'of a heavy dark line and by slightly spacing the parts of the respective plies apart. By this treatment, 40 the relation of the parts will be clearly apparent, but it is.to be understood that parts which are in face opposing relation are, in fact, in face abutting relation.
A In Figure 1 the edging is shown as having three plies I, 2 and 3 of any suitable material. These plies are'arranged in face abutting relation. The ply 3 is the widest, the ply I is the narrowest and the ply 2 is of intermediate width. The upper and lower marginal portions 4 and 5 yof the back ply 3 project above and below the upper and lower margins of the plies I and 2. projecting marginal portion 4 is` folded over the upper edges of both the plies I and 2 and secured in face abutting relation to the front face of the front ply, while the lower marginal portion 5 of.
free edge maybe scalloped, serrated or otherwise The upwardly the back ply 3 is folded over the lower edge of the intermediate ply 2 and secured in face abutting relation to the front face of this latter ply. It will be noted that the lower marginal portion 5 lis not attached to the front ply I and consequently 5 the depending portion of the ply I isadapted to hang freely below the portion 4.
The plies I, 2 and 3 are in' face abutting relation. They may be glued or otherwise secured together in such face abutting relation by the overall application of an adhesive between the contacting portions of their faces or they may b-e secured together by isolated spots of glue or other' f adhesive or in any other suitable way. In practice, however, I preferably secure together the l5 plies 2 and 3 in face abutting relation and secure the ply I in place in such a way that that portion thereof which projects below the edge 6 of the marginal portion 4 is loose to hang freely.
When an edging of the character specified is applied to a shelf, the front ply I, as well as the intermediate ply 2 and the marginal portions 4 and 5 of the back ply 3 are all visible to an observer in front of the shelf. It is found in practice that when thus applied the folding over of the margins 4 and 5 with the added thickness of the additional ply I beneath the margin 4, gives very strong reinforced edges, so that the edging will conform to the edge of the shelf and produce Aa neat and tailored appearance.
The structure of Figure 2 is in some respects similar to the structure of Figure 1 except that the front ply 8 is secured to the assembly by the lower marginal portion 5 instead of beneath the upper marginal portion 4, as in Figure 1. The intermediate ply 2 and the back ply 3 are the same as before. The ply 8 is secured in place as shown and hangs over the upper edge of the lower marginal portion 5 so as to preferably hang below and conceal the lower fold.
I have shown a shelf covering portion 9 as associated with the edging of Figure 2, the same being provided at its forward edge with an attachingflange I0, secured in face abutting relation to the back face of the back ply. The part 9 45 is adapted to overlie the whole or a portion of the width of the shelf and constitutes the shelf coveringportion of the assembly. .If desired the structure of Figure 1 may be provided with asimilar shelf covering portion or this shelf covering portion may be omitted from both constructions.
It is within the present invention to make the structure of Figure 1 with an added front ply 8 attached as in Figure 2, or to make the structure of Figure 2 with an added front ply I attached as in Figure 1, said latter arrangement being illustrated in Figure 3.
I have not shown adhesive, stitches or other attaching means in the figures of the drawing, as either or both may be used depending upon conditions or the materials employed, but it will be understood that the several plies, as well as the folded over edges are secured firmly in position, as, for example, by an adhesive, s0 as to give a rm structure and impart backbone to the edging. An outstanding advantage of all these constructions is that the edging is not only properly re-Y inforced and strengthened at its upper edge, but that a lowerportion of the edging is also similarly strengthened and reinforced, `as described.
It should also be understood that the material entering into the edging of this invention may be of any appropriate character and in fact diiferent plies may be made of different materials. Different plies may also be appropriately ornamented or contrastingly colored and all edges which show from the front or Yexposed face of the `edging may be ornamented by scallops, castellations or serrations, or in any other suitable way made pleasing in appearance. Embossing or perforating may be availed Yof where desired.l Y Y Y In the foregoing detailed description'and in the accompanying drawing@ have not attempted to show every possible way in which this invention may be carried out, but have sought merely -to give a sufficient illustrative showing to demonstrate the wide variety of effects which may be obtained through the employment of this invention with that coincident reinforcement and stiffening to which the present invention is pri marily directed. The invention, therefore, is to be understood as not limited to the Vstructures which have been illustrated, but is to be construed as fully commensurate with the appended claims; L
I-Iaving thus fully described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
l. A shelf edging comprising a plurality of plies, one marginal portion of the rear ply of which is folded over the corresponding edges of the other plies and secured directly tothe foremost ply while the other marginal portion of the rear ply is folded over the. corresponding edges of at least one other ply and secured in face abutting relation to a ply other than the foremost ply, whereby one edge of the foremost ply is free from direct attachment to eitherV marginal portion of the rear ply.
2. A shelf edging comprising a plurality of plies, the upperl marginal portion of the rear ply of which is folded over the upper edges of the other plies and secured directly to the front face of the foremost ply, while the lower marginal portion of theY rear ply is folded over the lower edges of at least one other ply and secured in face abutting relation to a ply other than the foremost ply, whereby the lower edge of the foremost ply is exposed to view.
3. A shelf edging comprising a plurality of plies, the lower marginal portion of the rear ply of which is folded over the corresponding edges of all of the other plies and secured in face abutting relation to the upper margin of the foremost ply to allow the foremost ply to hang freely below the other plies, and the upper marginal portion of the rear ply being folded over the corresponding edge of at least one other ply and secured to the forward face of the latter.
4. A shelf edging comprising a plurality of plies, the upper and lower margins of one outside ply of which are folded over the correspondingY edges of other plies and secured to the remote faces of the latter, and one of which latter plies has one exposed edge portion free from direct attachment to either of said marginal portions.
