PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Brackets and Rods for Displaying Goods.
HARRY MAY Outfitter 158 Uxbridge Road W. do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
--
This invention relates to brackets and rods used as fittings in show-cases shop-
windows and the like, and owing to the simple but at the same time effective
construction the rods are prevented from turning round, as often happens now,
through oscillation caused by passing traffic, and overweight of the goods or
articles exposed to view, they can never get displaced.
The arms or brackets can be made to extend out any required length, and have
the usual half circles cut to carry the rod or rods used, but in this case each, or
every alternate, half circle is to be tapped in the centre of bottom, and a small
steel, or other metal pin inserted or screwed in, or can be cast with bracket, such
pins must come up just above top of the half circles. The rod or rods have holes
made at any required distances from ends, and these holes fit on to the pins,
before mentioned, in the half circles of brackets, allowing the metal pins to
protrude just through top of rod, and by this means preventing any tendency to
revolve.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Brackets and Rods for Displaying Goods.
I HARRY MAY Outfitter 158 Uxbridge Road W. do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to brackets and rods used as fittings in show cases shop
windows and the like, and owing to the simple, but at the same time effective
construction the rods are prevented from turning round, as often happens now
through oscillation caused by passing traffic and overweight of the goods or
articles exposed to view, they can never get displaced.
The arms or brackets can be made to extend out any required length, and have
the usual half circles cut to carry the rod or rods used, but in this case each or
every alternate half circle is to be tapped in the centre of bottom and a small
steel or other metal pin inserted or screwed in, or can be cast with bracket, such
pins must come up just above top of the half circles. The rod or rods have holes
made at any required distances from ends, and these holes fit on to the pins before
mentioned in the half circles of brackets, allowing the metal pins to protrude
just through top of rod, and by this means preventing any tendency to revolve.
In order that my invention may be properly understood and readily carried.
into effect I will describe the accompanying sheet of drawings reference being
had to the figures and letters marked thereon.
Fig. 1. shows one end of rod which is pierced or drilled through as A. any
required distance from end, such holes may be either round, oval, or square.
Fig. 2. shows a portion of arm of bracket and in one or all of the half circles
cut to carry the rod or rods is inserted a steel or other metal pin, as B, to fit
ID017

page_text: the before mentioned holes in rods, but such pins may however if preferred be
cast with bracket.
Fig. 3. is a sectional plan or diagram illustrating the relative positions of the
hole A. Fig. 1. and the pin B. Fig. 2.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is-
I. The arrangement and combination of parts constituting a device for the
better displaying of goods in show-cases shop-windows and the like substantially
as hereinbefore described and shewn in the annexed drawings.
II. The combination of the hole A in the rod and the pin B in the bracket
substantially and for the purpose hereinbefore described and shewn on the
accompanying drawings..
III. The construction of the rod and bracket in the manner described so as to
prevent the rod turning round in the bracket substantially and as herein before
described and shewn in the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 10th day of April 1894.
