jCOMPLET.E SFEOIFIOrCATION Improvements in Clamping Devices for
Shelves, Panels or the like We, FREDERICK SAGE (DISPLAY FITTINGS)
LIMITED, a Company organised under the laws of Great Britain, of
Verulam Street, Gray's Inn Road, in the County of London, do hereby
declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted
to, us, and the method by which it is, to be performed, to b.e
particularly described in and by the following statement:'The
invention relates to clamping devices for securing glass or other
shelves, panels or the like to supports or to, one another in a number
of different relative positions for use as display stands.
A clamping device for the above purpose has been suggested hiterto
comprising two bifurcated members having clamping screws for clamping
them to shelves or partitions, one bifurcated member having a socket
and the other a cooperating spigot, so shaped, for instance,
rectangular, that it can be securely held against rotation, in the
socket in different relative positions in which, the two members may
be united.
A clamping device according to the invention comprises two bifurcated
members provided with clamping means, one member having a strip or
rail formed on it and extending beyond one face against which face
either of two faces of the other member can be selectively abutted and
the two members be secured together by a screw passing through the
2. abutting faces, the strip or rail then preventing any relative
rotation.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figures 1 to 5, are, respectively, a front elevation, side elevation,
rear elevation, plan and inverted plan of one bifurcated, member;
Figures 6 to 10 being similar views of the other.
Figures 111 to 14 are isometric drawings of pairs of members united in
four different relative positions.
In the example illustrated by these drawings, each of two similar
bifurcated members 1, and 2 consist of two parallel rectangular parts
3, 4 spaced apart and, formed integrally with a square portion '5 at
one end..
One rectangular part 3 of each member is drilled at 10 and screw
threaded to, receive 50 a clamping screw 9 for clamping it to a
support or to a shelf inserted between the two parts 3 and 4.
The outer face 6 of the other rectangular part 4 and the outer face of
the square end 55 portion 5 of each member are fat..
The rectangular part 4 and the square end portion '5 of the member
1,are drilled at 11 and 12 respectively and tapped for a connecting
screw.7. (Figures. 11, 13 and '14). 60 TChe square end portion 5 of
the other member 2 has a countersunk plain hole 13 for the connecting
screw 7. The member 2 is also provided with a strip or rail 8 on one
rectangular face which extends beyond the 65 square end porton 15.
The arrangement is such that when the member 2 is applied to the
member 1 with the faces of the end portions 5 abutting against one
another in any of four positions, or is 70 applied to the flat
rectangular face 6 'of the member 1 in' any of three different
positions, the screw threaded hole 12 in the member 1 and the plain
hole 113, in the other for the connecting screw.7 will always coindide
to enable the screw to be inserted and tightened.
Moreover the strip or rail 8 on the member Z engages over the adjacent
surface of the other member,1 so that no relative movement between the
members 1, and, 2 can occur. 80 The device thus forms a clamp
permitting a shelf or other part to be removable but firmly supported
in any of a number of selected positions relatively to a standard or
other support. 85 Four different adjustments are shown in Figures
1,1---4.
