Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 193 words
An adjustable stocking display device comprising a plurality of stocking forms mounted on a common support such that each said form can be selectively moved into any of a number of different angular positions and said forms locked in such positions, said stocking forms having a generally leg-shaped profile with a toe end and a thigh end, said thigh end including means for mounting said stocking form on said support, said support including a common shaft passing through said common support and through the mounting means of each said stocking form; support means for supporting said shaft; a plurality of apertured disc-like positioning members each being disposed on said shaft against a respective one of said stocking forms, the disc-like positioning members and the stocking forms having mutually coacting interengaging structue to engage each other in non-rotational engagement; means on said shaft engaging corresponding means on said positioning members for preventing rotation of the latter on said shaft but permitting sliding of the positioning member relative thereto and permitting rotation of said stocking forms; and means on said shaft for releasably engaging said stocking forms, in their selected positions, against said positioning members.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 193 words
