Knecht, Freeport, Ill., assignor, by mesne assignments, to Andrew F. Wintercorn, Rockford, Ill. Filed Nov. 20, 1963, Ser. No. 324,955 4 Claims. (Cl. 312140.1)
This invention relates to a new and improved combination merchandise display and storage unit whereby articles such as drapery hardware, for example, may be displayed nicely on the front of an upright panel without any evidence whatsoever so far as front appearances are concerned that ample storage space is available behind the panel for a sizeable stock of articles like those on display.
The principal object of my invention is to provide in combination, an article display panel and storage cabinet in which the display panel forming the closure for the storage cabinet is demountably hinged on the cabinet by concealed hinge means on the back of its upper end portion to swing on a horizontal axis so that access may be had to the storage compartment readily by simply grasping the lower end of the display panel and swinging it forwardly, but whenever it is desired to change the display in any way, as inevitably happens where new items are added to a line or changes are made in existing items, it is a simple matter to lift the display panel oif its hinge support to facilitate making the changes desired, after which the panel can be easily replaced. This arrangement is especially good where such display panels from at least part of the back wall of a long display counter, the display panels behind the long display counter arranged in edge to edge abutment with no hinge means visible making for a most attractive display overall, aside from affording the other important advantages mentioned.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a long display counter embodying my invention, one of the upwardly swingable display panels at the rear there-of being shown swung upwardly to reveal the storage compartment behind it, while two other similar panels nearby are shown in closed position disposed in edge to edge abutment;
FIG. 2 is a vertical section on the line 22 of FIG. 1, showing the panel in full lines in closed position and in dotted lines in open position, and
FIG. 3 is a section corresponding to a portion of FIG. 2 but on a larger scale showing a modification of the construction of FIG. 2.
Similar reference numerals are applied to corresponding parts throughout these views.
Referring to the drawings the reference numeral 5 in each instance designates generally a combination merchandise display and storage unit made in accordance with my invention, each unit comprising a display panel 6 normally disposed vertically in front of a storage compartment 7 for which it serves as a closure until it is swung upwardly, as the one panel 6 is seen in FIG. 2, to aiford access to the articles 8 stored in the compartment, two similar display panels 6 being shown in the left hand portion of FIG. -1 in closed position, to show that there is no evidence whatsoever, as seen from the front, that these panels are actually hinged and are also swingable upwardly and forwardly with respect to their associated storage compartments 7, these panels 6 being mounted in flush edge to edge relationship with no hinge means of any kind visible anywhere. The vertical back wall 9, onto which the cabinets 10 providing the storage compartments are suitably secured, extends upwardly from the back of the long display counter 11 and can be placed in abutment with the display room wall so that there is Patented Nov. 29, 1966 no waste of floor space. The front of wall '9 below cabinets 10 can be used to good advantage for display of merchandise, as indicated at 12, where glassine bags are shown suspended on books 13 on said wall. Also, the longer length cafe rods and curtain rods that cannot be displayed on panels 6 can be displayed there, although none is shown in FIG. 1. Other merchandise is shown at 14 hung on hooks 15 on wall 9 at one end of the long display counter 11 alongside the last one of the cabinets 10, and a shelf 16 mounted on the wall 9 by means of brackets 17 provides a support for an open display compartment 18 for other articles 19, while the top of the counter 11 provides space for other open display compartments 20 for additional merchandise 21. Counter 11 is suitably equipped with sliding lower front door panels 22 affording access to storage compartments in the counter 11 below the open display compartments 20. Thus, it should be clear that the provision of my improved combination merchandise display and storage units 5 in no way interferes with efiicient use of the rest of the display space on the counter and back wall, every square foot of available space being used to the same full advantage as heretofore in this general type of display and yet additional storage space is made available in the compartments 7 which can be used to very good advantage by the merchant, and the stock of articles kept in reserve in these compartments are within easy reach by the salesmen from in front of the counter 11. The present display includes three of these improve-d combination display and storage units 5; in some cases only two such units may be included, and in some other cases four or even more may be provided, depending on the overall length of the counter. The display panels 6 being of appreciable width may be used conveniently as backboards for displaying fairly long articles such as curtain rods, .as shown at 23, whereas if a door of this size was hinged on one vertical edge, in the manner of old cabinets, it would be awkward to handle and would certainly require a reliable catch for the free end of the door to eliminate likelihood of its swinging open accidentally, whereas panels 6, being hinged at their upper ends, gravitate to and stay in closed position and there is no need for any detents or catches. Pictures and advertising material pertinent to the merchandise displayed may be placed on top of the cabinets 10, as indicated at 24.
As seen in FIG. 2, each of the panels 6 has a plurality of laterally spaced hooks 25 secured to the top of a transversely extending spacer strip 26 provided on the back of the display panel 6 along but below the top thereof, the hooks 25 being generally S-shaped and being springable relative'to spacer 26 for detachable pivotal engagement over a front bar or cross-piece 27 provided in fixed spaced parallel relation to the shelf 28, which forms the top wall of the cabinet 10 and serves as a support for the aforementioned advertising material 24. Thus, it requires only a slight springing of these hooks 25 to disengage the display panel 6 from its support 27 by an upward pressure thereonfand hence the display on the front of the panel may be changed from time to time as new articles are added to the line or others are altered in certain respects, and it is also a simple matter to replace the panel 6 on support 27 afterward.
In FIG. 3, the display panel 6a has the hooks 25a secured directly to the back of the panel by means of downwardly extending vertical shank portions 29 fastened with wood screws 30. The bar or cross-piece indicated in dotted lines at 27a, corresponding to the bar of crosspiece 27 in FIG. 2, is slightly thicker in relation to the width of the entrance 31 in hooks 25a so that it requires greater springing open of these hooks to enter the crosspiece 27:: therein when the panel is assembled in place on shelf 28, thereby reducing likelihood of these hingedly connected parts becoming disconnected if the panel happens to be swung upwardly carelessly relative to the shelf to afford access to the merchandise. Notice too that the width of the cross-piece 27a is approximately equal to the diameter D of the semi-circular upper end portion 32 of the hooks, thereby assuring smoother pivoting action.
In closing, the panel indicated at 42 in FIG. 1, can be a hinged panel like panels 6 in front of another storage compartment 7 but is here shown as a fixed panel having hooks 43 provided thereon on which bags 44 of merchandise are suspected, similarly as at 12 and 14.
It is believed the foregoing description conveys a good understanding of the objects and advantages of my invention. The appended claims have been drawn to cover all legitimate modifications and adaptations.
