(Cl. .2H-46) 1 Claim.
This invention relates to a display rack for rugs and other material and has for an object to provide a device of this character having superposed trays mounted in respective compartments of the rack and adapted to contain rugs which may be displayed by sliding, or drawing a selected tray endwise out of its compartment.
A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this character adapted to display two rugs in each tray, either rug being exposed to view by sliding, or drawing the tray endwise from one end or the other end of its compartment in the rack.
A further object is to provide apparatus of this character which will be formed of a few strong, simple and durable parts which will be inexpensive to manufacture, and which will not easily get out of order.
With the above and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, it being understood that various modifications may be resorted to within the scope of the appended claim without departing from the spirit or sacriiicing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification:
Figure l is a perspective view of a display rack for rugs constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a vertical sectional View of the display rack taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a detail perspective View showing the stepped formation of the side walls.
Figure 4 is a plan View of the display rack with portions broken away.
Figure 5 is a detail sectional view showing two rugs folded to be displayed in a single tray.
Referring now to the drawing in which like characters of reference designate similar parts in the various views, the display rack comprises a plurality of superposed units each having opposite stepped side walls, one on each side of the rack, each including a vertical riser Il), a horizontal tread il, a second vertical riser I2 extending downwardly from the tread, and a second tread i3 extending from the bottom of the second vertical riser I2. The lowermost tread I3 of each side wall is equipped with rollers Il! which project above the upper surface of the tread. Rollers or roller bearings can also be installed on the angular side walls I5 of the trays ii or inserted in the vertical risers I2 if so desired. The stepped side walls are stacked one 55 upon the other with the tread Il of one side wall supported upon the riser I0 of the next underneath side wall and with the tread I3 of the first mentioned side wall supported upon the tread II of the next underneath side wall, see Figure 3.
Each tray I4 comprises opposite angular side walls I5, of right angle cross section to provide a vertical flange and a horizontal flange, the
vertical flange bearing against the riser of the respective compartment wall and the horizontal flange being supported upon the rollers of the lowermost tread of the respective compartment side wall. The lowermost flanges of the angular side walls are connected together by an X shape brace I6. A plurality of transversely disposed slats Il are supported at the ends upon the lowermost flanges of the angular side walls. A sheet metal plate is supported upon the slats. Thus, each tray is open at the ends and may be slid, or drawn endwise from its respective compartment to display the rug or other material disposed in flat condition on the bottom of the tray.
The supporting frame for the rack comprises corner legs I9 of right angular cross section and intermediate legs 20 of substantially flat contour. The intermediate legs are braced by inclined braces 2| which extend upwardly and are connected to the upper ends of the corner legs i9, see Figure 1.
A substantially rectangular base frame 22, formed of angular bars 29, is secured in any preferred manner to the corner legs I9 and intermediate legs 29. The upright flanges of two opposite bars 29 are provided with cut out sockets 23 which receive the lowermost treads I3 of the stepped side walls, see Figure 2, to support vthe side walls on the base frame and legs.
A cover 24 is provided. The cover is substantially rectangular and is formed of the metal bars 2-5 of right angular cross section. The vertical flanges of the angular metal bars extend outside of the uppermost risers I0 of the stepped side walls, see Figure 3. A sheet metal plate 2B is secured at the edge portions to the underneath faces of the horizontally disposed flanges of the angular bars 25.
Each tray above described ordinarily contains a single rug. However, as best shown in Figure 5, a pair of rugs 2l may be each folded upon itself to take up one half the ordinary horizontal space and maintained in folded condition by spring clips, bars or other forms of clamps 28. The spring clips 28 are engaged with the rugs at the bight of the fold thereof. Each rug may occupy a respective end portion of a tray so that when the tray is slid or drawn endwise from the rack either rug is displayed, according to the direction the tray is slid or drawn.
From the above description it is thought that the construction and operation of the invention will be fully understood without further explanation.
What is claimed is:
A display rack for rugs comprising two side walls one at each side of the rack formed of a plurality 0f superposed stepped units, each unit having a vertical riser, a horizontal tread, a second vertical riser extending downwardly from the tread, and a second horizontal tread extending from the bottom of the second vertical riser, the units being stacked one upon the other with the vertical risers engaging the horizontal treads in such manner that the Vertical risers are in parallel planes in said side walls, rollers on the Ilowermost horizontal treads of the units, a plurality of trays including vertical walls engaging the risers of respective units and horizontal flanges supported upon said rollers, a yplurality of transversely disposed slats supported at the ends upon the anges of the trays, said trays being open at the ends and adapted to be Withdrawn endwise from the rack to display position, and a frame supporting the stepped side Walls.
