ARCHIBALD VILLIAM MCGONVAN, ILION, NEV YORK, ASSIGNOR OF ONE- HALF TO A. N. RUSSELL dti'SONS, OF SAME PLACE.
DISPLAY STAND OR CABINET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 551,138, dated December 10, 1895.
Application led September 12,1895. Serial No. 562,311. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, ARCHIBALD WILLIAM MCGOWAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ilion, in the county of Herkimer and State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Display Stands or Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to cabinets or stands for displaying and protecting ribbons and other similar articles which are Wound or displayed on spools or articles otherwise put up.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a perspective view of the cabinet; Fig. 2, a transverse vertical sectional view; Fig. 3, a horizontal sectional view, and Fig. 4 a perspective view of one of the trays.
The object of the invention is to produce a cabinet which will fully display and protect the goods, and at the same time allow easy and quick access to be had thereto.
A designates the base of the cabinet, B B the uprights or corner-posts extending therefrom, and O the top.
In the construction shown in the drawings the ends of the cabinet are shown closed by glass panes D D, though these spaces may be closed by panels, or in some instances Inay be fitted with trays.
The sides of the cabinet are provided with a series of pivoted trays E E. These trays comprise two angle or elbow pieces F F, the front arm or member of which is straight while the rear or inner arm is slightly curved. The front members are connected together by bars or strips G and Il, and the rear or inner members by rods a, b, and c, which form the supports for the ribbon-spools.
The trays are pivoted at (l to the uprights B B, and are of such width that when thrown back into their closed position the bars II of lthe intermediate trays close in under the bars G of the tray above, while the bar G of the lower tray closes against the base A, and the bar II of the upper tray closes against the top C.
The front of each tray is closed by a glass or other transparent pane J, so that when the trays are all in their closed positions the entire side of the cabinet willbe closed,while the goods contained therein are plainly visible.
A stop e is provided for each tray to limit its oscillation or throw. NVhen a tray is open, the stop takes against the rear curved arm of the lever F and when closed against the front member.
' I designates a spool of ribbon, which in the upper tray of Fig. 2 is shown as resting upon the bars a and b and back of the pivot d, so that the weight of the spool or spools will keep the tray closed without any fastening device whatever.
The tray shown open and as containing a spool or spools, Fig. 2, illustrates that the bulk of the weight of the spools contained in the tray passes to the opposite side of the pivot and thetray is thus kept open.
It will be noticed upon reference to Figs. l and 2 that the stops are so placed that when a tray is opened its outer edge is prevented from dropping to a horizontal position, and the spools are thus retained in their proper position and kept from rolling out.
The connecting bars or rods a, b, and c are by consequence of the curvature of the inner arms of the elbow-pieces F in different horizontal planes, the innermost bar cbeing highest and bar a the lowest. By reason of this the spools are prevented or limited in their backward roll when the trays are closed. Furthermore, resting as they do, unless too large, between two of these bars, there is little or no tendency to roll.
It is obvious that instead of the trays being provided with an open bottom the bars orrods a, l), and c may be omitted and a solid bottom substituted.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim isl. In a display stand or cabinet, the combination of aframe or body, and a series of oscillating or pivoted trays having transparent panes in their front faces, and adapted when shut, to fit in under one another and close the cabinet.
2. In a display stand or cabinet, the combination of a frame or body, and a series of pivoted trays, eachcomprising two angle or elbow pieces pivoted at their angle, and connected by bars or rods; and a transparent pane forming the front of the tray.
3. In a display stand or cabinet, the combi- IOO trays at the angles thereof; and a series of stops for preventing the front or back meinbers of the trays from swinging below a horizontal line.
In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
ARCHIBALD WILLIAM MUGOWAN.
