2 Claims.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in display racks and it is an improvement on the subject matter of our co-pend-. ing application Serial No. 294,020, filed September 8, 1939.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide a display rack for use in display refrigerators which will serve to support meat and various other commodities in an attractive manner and wherein the rack is so constructedas to permit ornamentation to be placed thereon to pleasingly add to the display of commodities.
Various other important objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent to the reader of the following description.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 represents a vertical sectional View through the upper portion of a refrigerator showing the rack disclosed in commodity supporting position.
Figure 2 is a fragmentary top plan view of the rack.
Figure 3 is a perspective of one of the sections of the rack with the majority of the commodity supporting rods removed.
Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary detailed sectional view taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Figure 2 and showing artificial parsley or some other ornamenting substance in dotted lines.
Referring to the'drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that the rack can be made up of a plurality of sections of such construction as that shown in Figure 3. Each section will consist of an angularly constructed frame including a vertical back member a, a base member I) and an inclined member connecting the members a and 17, these frames 5 are connected at their upper corners by horizontal rails 6 and at their lower rear corners by rails I. The forward corners of the frames 5 are connected by a rail 8. Additional rails 9 and III are provided at equal distant intervals with downward offsets I I, and excepting for these olfsets I I supporting rods I2 are laid across the rails 8, 9, I0 and 6 and suitably secured thereto, as by welding.
Each of the frame members 0 has a pair of hook members l3 extending therefrom and these hook members are ofiset with respect to corresponding hook members on complementary rack sections so that they can interlap as shown in Figure 2.
On the market at present are certain artificial forms of decorative means and one in particular is an artificial parsley which has leaves I extending from a relatively rigid elongated member IS. The rigid members l5 are cut off at the proper length so that they can extend across the rack in parallel relation to the supporting rods l2 and seated in the ofiset II, with the leaves l4 extending upwardly to substantially frame commodities placed on the rods l2 or on trays or plates supported by the said rods l2.
Furthermore, it can be seen that strips of this artificial parsley can be placed in the interlapping hooks I3, also as suggested in Figure 4 and thus a multiple sectioned rack will to all outward appearance resemble a single one-piece support for the display commodities.
Obviously, the fundamental purpose for the rack is to permit a thorough circulation of cold air over and below the supported cormnodities without the rack presenting a more or less objectionable appearance to customers.
As shown in Figure 1, the rack sits upon a stepped shelf IS in the refrigerator l1 and can be readily removed.
While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and material may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.
Having described the claimed as new is:
l. A display rack comprising a frame having hook members at the ends thereof for supporting ornamental display means, a cross member bridging the frame and longitudinally extending members bridging the ends of the frame and having downwardly disposed ornamental element receiving offsets therein,
2. A display rack comprising a plurality of rack sections provided with interlapping hook members at adjacent ends thereof and an omamental member of elongated shape disposed into said interlapping hooks to fill the space between the rack sections and connect said sections together.
invention, what is FRANK W. BOFENKAMP. JAMES SABINO.
