Rug Display System

Abstract

A rug display system for efficiently displaying rugs. The rug display system includes a frame having a plurality of vertical members, a plurality of support members extending between the vertical members, a plurality of elongated members movably positioned upon the vertical members, and at least one first motor connected to the elongated members for moving the elongated members for lifting one of the support member. The plurality of support members are selectively engageable with the elongated members to lift an upper support member upwardly. The support members each support at least one rug to be displayed. A plurality of belts are movably positioned upon the vertical members along with at least one second motor connected to the belts for lowering the raised support members.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Not applicable to this application.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not applicable to this application.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]1. Field of the Invention[0004]The present invention relates generally to rug display devices and more specifically it relates to a rug display system for efficiently displaying rugs.[0005]2. Description of the Related Art[0006]Any discussion of the prior art throughout the specification should in no way be considered as an admission that such prior art is widely known or forms part of common general knowledge in the field.[0007]Rug displays have been in use for years. Typically, it is desirable to display all rugs without having to spend much time and physical effort to move the rugs. Rugs have been displayed using frame configuration comprised of a plurality of arms on which to hang rugs vertically. Another type of rug display requires rolling up the rugs to store the...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0011]In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of rug displays now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new rug display system construction wherein the same can be utilized for efficiently displaying rugs.

[0017]A second object is to provide a rug display system for efficiently displaying rugs.

[0018]Another object is to provide a rug display system that allows rugs to be easily loaded onto the rug display system.

[0019]An additional object is to provide a rug display system that allows rugs to be easily removed from the rug display system.

[0020]A further object is to provide a rug display system that easily lifts and lowers all displayed rugs through the use of mechanized power.

[0021]Another object is to provide a rug display system that reduces the space needed to display rugs and therefore allows more rugs to be displayed in a given space.

Problems solved by technology

Hanging rugs on frames takes physical effort to lift and then attach the rugs in place and therefore is a time consuming process.

Displaying rolled up rugs requires unrolling to actually display the entire rug and this does not allow for easy and quick visual comparison.

The rolling and unrolling generally takes the performance of at least two capable people and is not efficient if many rugs need to be compared and displayed.

While these devices may be suitable for the particular purpose to which they address, they are not as suitable for efficiently displaying rugs.

The devices described above still require much physical effort and time to display rugs.
