COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Stand for Holding in Position Blocked Goods.
JOSHUA DAVIES, High Street, 202, Dudley, in the County of Worcestershire,
Wholesale Draper, 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:-
The object of my Invention is to provide a quick & ready mean's, whereby all
blocked good's, are able to stand firinly on their end's-so that they or their equivalent,
may be with effect exhibited for sale.
In carrying out my Invention, I take any suitable pieces of strip iron, & bend the
same, from the centre, so that both ends shall meet-1 also bend each end, of this
iron backward's, at any required distance-This iron, so bent, has the form of a tee-
square & is the stand, with a rivet to hold it rigid-Thus the iron stand, so shaped
(or its equivalent so formed in any other material aforesaid mentioned) the top
of the first bend, I push up the inside of the blocked good's, & the two ends of
the iron, which have been bent backwards, acts as feet for support-enableing the
goods to stand firmly on their end's, so as to be effectively exhibited for sale also
when, I want to use the stand so as to exhibit, a piece of the stuff from off the blocked
good's or otherwise, I add a loose strip of iron riveted or not to one of the feet &
this enables the stand to hold itsself on its own basis, & also I add two loose riveted
arm's, fixed near the first bend of the stand, each arm has a longe eye'd hole in the
end, so as to allow running along the rivet & to lodge itself for support under the
other rivet. When the stand holds the goods, the arm's & foot are hidden, one under
the feet & the arms down the side of the stand-These Stands can be constructed in
many ways & in different pattern's-Only a strip of iron or wood-& one strip from
the centre thereof or two strips-or hinged etc., etc.-& also made in any required
material, iron, steel, Brass, Wood, etc., etc.

claim is,
A Stand for holding in position block goods.. I claim also the arrangement of the
arm's as setforth, described & illustrated."
