  1. 1
    Having thus described the invention, what I claim is:1. In a display stand, a base frame, pairs of uprights rising from said frame, means for connecting said pairs of uprights, means coacting with said first means, the uprights, and the frame in the support of mattresses, and means supported by said uprights for slidably supporting a bed spring between said mattresses whereby the bed spring may be moved from between the mattresses for display.
  2. 2
    In a display stand, a base frame, pairs of uprights mounted on said frame and converging toward their upper ends, bowed spring members connecting the upper ends of the pairs of uprights, braces detachably connected to the upper ends of the pairs of uprights, a tie rod connecting said braces, and means for detachably and slidably mounting a bed spring on said tie rod for This invention relates to display racks or stands, and has for the primary object the provision of a portable and foldable device of the above stated character which is especially adapted for the display of mattresses and bed springs 5 wherein the mattresses may be kept in clear view with a bed spring to be used in conjunction therewith located between said mattresses and mounted for sliding movement whereby the bed spring at any time desired may be conveniently 10 moved outwardly of the mattresses for display purposes to demonstrate to a mattress customer the proper spring to be used therewith. With these and other objects in view as will become more apparent as the description pro- 15 ceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed. For a complete understanding of my inven- 20 tion, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation illustrating a display stand constructed in accordance with my invention. Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2—2 of Figure 1. Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view illustrating the stand supporting a mattress as well as a bed spring. Figure 4 is a fragmentary perspective view illustrating a detachable and yieldable securing means for the mattress on the stand. Figure 5 is a fragmentary end elevation illustrating the upper portion of the stand.35 Referring in detail to the drawings, the numeral 5 indicates a base frame of substantially rectangular shape including side members 6 constructed of angle iron and end members 1 each including overlapping portions adjustably con- 40 nected together by fasteners 8. The sections of the end members 7 besides being adjustably connected together may also be detached when it is desired to collapse or fold the base frame. Secured to and rising from the corners of the 45 frame 5 are pairs of uprights 9 each of channel iron construction. The pairs of uprights converge toward their upper ends and are detachably connected by bowed spring members 10 and further are connected at their upper ends by 50 braces 11 which may be removed when desired. The braces are connected together by a tie rod 12 which acts as a track for pulleys or sheaves 13 carrying hooks 14 to engage with a bed spring 15. The bed spring when mounted on the hooks 58 2,273,409 sliding movement and in a depending position, and means for mounting mattresses on the frame and uprights.
  3. 3
    In a display stand, a base frame, pairs of uprights mounted on said frame and converging toward their upper ends, bowed spring members connecting the upper ends of the pairs of uprights, braces detachably connected to the upper ends of the pairs of uprights, a tie rod connecting said braces, means for detachably and slidably mounting a bed spring on said tie rod for sliding movement and in a depending position, substantially L-shaped rests carried by the frame for the support of lower ends of mattresses resting against said uprights, braces on said uprights coacting therewith in the support of the mattresses.
  4. 4
    In a display stand, a base frame, pairs of uprights mounted on said frame and converging toward their upper ends, bowed spring members connecting the upper ends of the pairs of uprights, braces detachably connected to the upper ends of the pairs of uprights, a tie rod connecting said braces, means for detachably and slidably mounting a bed spring on said tie rod for sliding movement and in a depending position, substan10 tially L-shaped rests carried by the frame for the support of lower ends of mattresses resting against said uprights, braces on said uprights coacting therewith in the support of the mattresses, and straps engageable with the upper 15 portions of the mattresses and detachably and yieldably connected to the uprights.
