PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Adjustable Means for Supporting Shelves or Suspending
Articles in Show Cases, Windows, and other Situations.
I GEORGE BALEY BAUGHAN of 47 Erskine Road, Walthamstow in the
County of Essex, Show Case Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a means whereby shelves, brackets, hooks and other
devices used for the purpose of supporting or suspending articles in show cases,
shop windows and other situations shall be capable of easy adjustment.
According to this invention I fit to the sides, shelves, or other desired parts of a
show case or window (for example) a plate or plates of metal or other suitable
material having a number of loops or sockets thereon, these may be formed by
cutting slits in the aforesaid plates or plate the material between the slits being
pressed out to form the said loops or sockets or the strips loops or sockets may be
cast in brass or other suitable metals.
The devices which are to be connected or attached to the said plates I provide
with a tongue or tongues which passes or pass into the aforesaid loops or sockets.
The aforesaid plates may be screwed or nailed to the show case, shelves or the
like in any suitable position so that shelves or articles may be supported or
suspended, vertically horizontally or at any angle.
Instead of having the loops or sockets on the plates and tongues on the supporting
or suspending devices I may have the tongues on the plates and the loops or sockets
upon the devices.
