  • Display stand for jewelry articles
    Patent number: 4390099
    Abstract: A pilfer resistant device for holding articles such as jewelry chains, necklaces and the like. The device includes a circular display member upon which the chains are positioned, by slipping them through one or more separations or spaces formed in the display member, so that the chain can be suspended over the member. Small sleeves, having the same arc as the display member, are slidably mounted on the display member for closing the gaps formed in the display member. By rotating the sleeve a small amount with respect to the display member, the sleeve can be effectively locked onto the display member.
