` SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters :Patent No. 517,342, dated March 27, 1894.
Application filed March 14, 1893. Serial No. 465,967. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
ISe it known that I, WILLIAM G. IRWIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cinclnnatl, in the county of Hamilton and State of 0h10, have invented certain newl'and useful Improvements in Show-Cases, of which the following is a specification.
lThis invention has for its object to provide a novel, simple, efficient, and economical show case particularly designed for exhibiting suspended skeinsof silk and watch chains,
.but useful for displaying many other articles and maintaining them separated from each .other so as to avoid tangling of the same when the carryingsupport is revolved.
To accomplish this object my invention conslsts in the features of construction and the .combination or arrangement of parts heremafter described and claimed, reference being made tothe accompanying drawings, in whichae Figure l is a side elevation of a show case constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 1s a sectional view taken on Ythe line o o, Flg. l; and Fig.3 is a vertical central sectlonal View taken on the line -a, Fig. l.
In .order to enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention,I will now describe the same in detail, referring to the drawings, whereinthe letter A indicates the bottom head, and B the top head of a cylinder C, which constitutes the exterior casing of the show case. Thecylinder is provided w1t h an opening adapted to be closed or opened through the medium of asliding door D, whlch is held and slides between upper l and lower segmental guides a with which the upper and lower ends of the sliding door en v gage in such man ner that `the door is firmly l opening therein.
held in place, ibut is susceptible of sliding around the cylinder to cover or uncover the l 'Ihe door is preferably composed of a glass arranged in a suitable frame, so that the articles `contained in the exterior casing are visible through the door. Wlthln the cylinder Gis arrangeda revolving cylinder E, mounted upon ashaftF which is supported by the bearings G-formed with the heads A and B. The revolving cylinder is composed of a sheet. of uniformly corru-v gated metal bent into the form of a cylinder, the construction being such that the corrugations are parallel and extend the full length of the cylinder, for the purpose of forming channels or compartments e which are separated from each other by partitions formed by the corrugations. v The longitudinal channels or compartments e are each provided with hooks b for the purpose of suspending the skeins of silk, watch chains, or other articles which are maintained separate from each other by the partitions, so that when the interior cylinder is rapidly revolved the suspended skeins of silk,`watch chains, or other articles of a similar nature, will not become tangled.
By constructing the interior revolving cylinder of Vasheet of uniformly corrugated metal I am enabled to manufacture a show case of Ythe character described very economically;
and, further, the corrugated sheet metal cylinder is light and sti, and metallic sounds are avoided, which wouldl not/be vthe case if a plain cylinder were employed with partitions attached thereto. Thecorrugatious are curved, and therefore the channels or compartments are circular in cross section, so that they are well adapted to accommodate skeins of silk, and the like.v
In practice the door D is slid to its open position, and the articles to be exhibited are suspended on the hooks h, so that the articles are located in the longitudinal channels orcompartments, and are separated from each other through the medium of the partitions formed by parts of the corrugations. When the door is closed the articles are effectually protected from dust and are preserved in a `nice condition, and when it is desired to selecta certain article or articles, the door is slid toits open position,and the interior cylinder is revolved until the desired articles appear at the door opening.
I do not broadly claima show case consisting of a revolving case having recesses toreceive the articles to be displayed; nor do I broadly claim a show case composed of a revolving cylinder arranged withinva stationary casing, as such features of themselves do not constitute my invention.4
IOC)l Having thus described my invention, what I claim iss- A show case consisting of a stationary exterior casing composed of the heads A, B, and
:o or compartments, circular in cross section,
and separated from each other by partitions formed by parts of said corrugations, and supporting pins securedin said longitudinal channels,.snbstantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set 15 my hand. t
