Uncas Mamlta tun in C mnann a corporation A pplicatiomMayfi; 1952, swarm. 2862 84 (Cl. nil-59) 1 Claim.
This invention relates" to en, improvement in a display device particularly adapted for displaying. rings; ring guards, and the like.
Display devices for rings; ring guards,.an'c the like. which are usually positioned at locations on sale counters to attract attention. thereto have the undesirable" eifect'of also inviting theun'a'lithorized removal of said rings from the display by prospective buyers and others.
An object of the invention is to provide a display device of the above character having means for blocking the unauthorized removal of rings from the display.
Another object of the invention is to provide a display for rings with varying diameters kept separate.
A more specific object of the invention is to provide a display device having vertically disposed uprights or posts for loosely receiving the rings in stacked relation thereon and in which lock caps will be provided for each post to block the unauthorized removal of rings from the display.
With these and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction as will be more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a ring display device embodying my invention;
Figure 2 is a fragmental sectional view taken substantially along lines 2-2 of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken substantially along lines 33 of Figure 2;
Figure 4 is a sectional view of a fragmental portion of that shown in Figure 2 but showing the locking cap in a diiferent relation;
Figure 5 is a view similar to that of Figure 4 but showing the cap and post separate from each other;
Figure 6 is a view in perspective of the locking cap looking toward the bottom thereof.
In accordance with a preferred form of the invention I provide a base of a pleasing configuration and mount thereon a plurality of uprights or posts arranged in a row. These posts are made of varying diameters for receiving and keeping separate rings of like sizes. To enhance the appearance of the display and also provide for less inventory of certain ring sizes, I make the posts of difierent heights with the post of greater length providing for the most popular size rings and arrange these posts in a symmetrical fashion in the row. For example, the post of greater height may be in the center of the row and those ci -lesser heights arranged on either side arrange, for the same to have an. interlocking engagement with the post in the mannenct'a bayonet lock. The cap has a head which-protrudes beyond? the circumference of xthe posfl a distance suflicient to prevent the rings from being slipped oif the post past the cap. Since the looking arrangement is confined within the post and not in view, it does discourage the unauthorized removal of the rings from the display by such persons who would otherwise be tempted to do so.
Referring to the drawings for a more detailed description of the invention ||l designates generally a display device having a base II with a curved and slanted edge I2 of a pleasing contour. The base is also provided with a longitudinal groove l3 at the rear marginal edge thereof in which is received a plate or rear wall M which has a mirrored surface It to additionally enhance the appearance of the device. At the front marginal edge of the base I there is provided a row of uprights or posts designated generally l6. These posts are of different lengths with the post I! of greater length adapted to receive the rings of the most popular size and with the posts I8 of lesser length on the outer portions of the row and adapted to'receive the rings of less popular size, thus providing for less inventory of the less popular size rings.
The posts It may be conveniently formed of wooden dowel stock covered with a plush or other like fabric l9 glued or otherwise secured thereto. Each post It is frictionally received in an opening 20 provided in the base Each post may be further secured in position such as by means of glue or other appropriate fastening means.
The upper end of each post is provided with an axial bore 2| opening in the upper edge of the post and a lock pin '22 is received in a bore 23 (Figure 3) to intersect the bore 2| at substantially right angles thereto inwardly of the outer edge of the said bore 2|. A look cap 24 (see Figures 5 and 6) having a head 25 has a shank 28 which is received in the bore 2|. The shank 26 has -a circumferential groove 21 which extends helically partly about the said shank 26. The shank is further provided with a flat portion 28 which extends inwardly from the bottom edge thereof to intersect the bottom of the said groove 21. The shank 26 may be inserted into the bore 2| by placing the flat 28 thereof in register with the pin 22 at which position the shank may be 3 passed by the pin 22. This will position the pin 22 into register with the groove 27 thereby turning the cap 24 in a. clockwise direction as viewed in Figure 4. The pin will engage the side walls of the groove to draw the head downwardly into firm engagement with the top edge of the post in a manner of threading, thus locking the cap in place. Turning the head 25 in the opposite direction will bring the flat portion 28 of the shank 28 into register with the pin 22 thereby permitting the removal of the cap from the post as shown in Figure 5. After the removal of the cap, the ring indicated R and shown in dotted lines in Figure 2 may he slipped oi the post. The
In order to reduce the cost of the display, the cap 24 may be cast or molded into the form described without the necessity of additional machine operation thereon, and these caps are all made of the same dimension so that the caps may be interchangeable each with the other so as to be adapted for use in any of the posts of each display.
I claim: -;A display device for rings and the like for 4 personal wear comprising a base having a generally vertically disposed post for receiving rings in stacked relation, concealed locking means on said post comprising a central axial bore opening in the upper end thereof, a look pin extending laterally through said here, a cap for said post having a shank receivable in said bore and provided with a circumferential groove for engaging said pin in interlocking relation therewith, said shank having a flat thereon extending inwardly from the bottom thereof to intersect the bottom of said groove and positionable in register with said pin for inserting and removing said cap from the post, and said cap having a head of a size to extend a distance beyond the peripheral edge of said post sufficient to block the unauthorized i I removal of said rings from said device.
