FRAME FOR DISPLAYING oooos.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 299,586, dated June 3, 1884.

Application filed November 3, 1883.

ful improvements in window display-frames,

which consist in arranging the frames in alternate tiers, one above the plane of the other, in a window or from the ceiling of a building.

The object of my invention is to display clothing, fabrics, and dry goods separate and distinct from each other in a window or with in a dry-goods store, and, further, to suspend such goods in such a manner that a free circulation of air passes in, around, and among them, that each can be readily moved without interfering with the adjacent article. 7 I attainthese objects by means of the peculiar construction and arrangement of the different parts of my device, which will be more fully pointed out and described in the specification and claims, reference being bad to the drawings accompanyingthis application and forming part of the same, in which- Figure l is a perspective view showing my device attached to the ceiling or to the upper casing of a window. Fig. 2 is a sectional View of the same, showing the parts attached to a strip or board, the same being secured to the ceiling.

Similar letters refer to similarparts throughout the drawings.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the ceiling in a store or building where goods are usually displayed or sold; or it may represent the under frame of the top part of a windowcasing designed as a show-window in said store or building. Attached to said ceiling are a series of eyebolts, c, which are formed screwthreaded on their ends and adapted to screw into said casing or ceiling, said eyebolts being (No model.)

arranged in line and at any suitable distance apart. Hangers or suspension-strips a a a a a are formed of wood or metal and of different lengths and of any suitable shape, preferably square. One end of each of said hangers is provided with screw-hooks b, that are adapted to hook into eyebolts c, and by which said hangers are suspended, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The opposite ends of said hangers are provided with eyebolts I), having circular enlargements of sufficient size to admit the rods 03, which are rounded in form, and of suf ficient length to extend from one hanger to another and project a suitable distance outside of each, as shown in Fig. 1. The pur-.

pose of this construction is to suspend for inspection or display articles for sale, such as clothing and dry goods. Instead of the eyebolts 0 being screwed into the ceiling, when desired, they are screwed into strips B in the same manner as into the ceiling, and the strips B are secured to the ceiling or window-casing by screws or bolts, thereby placing the hangers and rods in any desired position for displ y- When desired to be used for small windows, the hangers may be secured by eyebolts to a single strip or board, said board being secured to the window-casing at the top. By this construction my device is light and portable, being easily adjusted to any required position.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim ,and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a device for displaying goods, the hangers a aa a of, formed of different lengths, and having screw-hooks b and b and cross-rods d, one above the plane of the other, in combination with the eyebolt a, secured to the ceiling, substantially as shown and specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
