1'0 allywhom it may concern:
Be it. known that we, JOHN H. LESLIE and' 1 JOI-IN WV. LESLIE, citizens of the United two grooves formed, ifi desired, by turningup States, residing at Chicago, in the county of 5 Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Show-Cases, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to show-cases, a'rio ticularly such as are intended to exhibit,
while storing, grocery supplies such as rice, su var, coffee, and the like. 'Y
llt is illustrated in the accompanying drawwherein;
inep l I '15 l igure 1 is a vertical section through a desection on line 6-6 of Fig. 1-; Fig. 7, a detail section modification; Fig. 8, a vertical section of a modified form of device; Fig. 9, a cross section on line 9 9 of Fig. 8.
Like parts are'indicated by the same letter 25 in all the figures. A
A is a section open at A1 and provided with the back A1, a bottom A3, a front, preferably of glass, A4, a curved connection A5 for the bottom and back, and sides A6. The front section A4 is held in position between the inwardly turned edges A1 of the sides and 'thel ribs A1secured to the inside of the sides A1.
A8 is a transverse rod on which the glass portion A1 rests and which also supports the upper vend of an inwardly proj ecting glass portion A9.
B B are slotted bars adjustably secured in position on the inside of the side ieces by means of the bolts B1 B1. l Each of t ese bars is provided with a lower lip B2 to engage the lower end 'of the glass plate B:1 so that the latter may be adjustably secured position to form an ad'ustable extension ofthe glass section A9. n the modified formA of structure shown in Fig. 7 the glass plate B3 is dispensed with and the lower end of the extension A9 is received into sockets A1o on the insideof the side pieces A11 while a corner plate A11 'holds the upper en` 'of the part A and the lower end o the par A1 in proper position.
By taking out the upper screw B1 the bars B can be tilted, whereupon the glassesB.3 and A9 can both be taken? out so as to ive access tothe interior of the' section. 4 ractically the same thing would be accomplished in the .net in which t structure shown in Fig.` 7 by removing the' y .sockets A10.
On the side edges of the front portion are the rojecting edges C C of the side plates. In t ese grooves slides vertically the glass door C1 having the controlling knob C2. The grooves are open below so that the door can be inserted and at their upper ends the edge ofthe sides is forced downl as at C3 so as to limit the upper excursion of the door C1.
The door'is guided on the inside at its lower part by the ribs C4. The bottom A3 is turned up around its outer edge at D so as to form a groove to receive the sides A6 and the back A1 of the upper section. It is also cut away at its forwardend at D1, being bent so asl to forma ledge D2 about such opening. At D3 y an upwardly projecting indentation or slot is formed in the bottom; The opening D1 is the filling opening for. the lower section and is preferably arranged with relation to the plate A or its extension B3 'so that the angle of repose ofthe material in the upper section will not cause it to overflow through such opening in the lower section. The lowervsection, however, may be guarded by a cover E which is 1tprovided with a downwardly pro- 'ecting ri E1 and is adapted to lie upon the edge D2 beneath the sliding door-C1. The outer edge is strengthened by the rib E2. 4
The opening D1 is normally covered. Whenu the lower section'is to be filled,` the door C1 can be raised and the cover E can be removed. To facilitate the filling of the lower section undersuch circumstances, we rovide jecting bottom portion F with the sides F1 and F1. The bottom is provided with the o enin F3 to register with the openingD1 w en t e cover is removed. It has'a hook F5 totake under the edge of the bottom and a projection F'1 to engage the same.
The devices shown in Figs. l to 7 are Lintended to illustrate separate sections which are set up together and superimposed one on the other so as to form a case or cabinet of a series of sections- In the device of 7 the structure-is modified by the suppression of certain parts and the insertion'o the door G having the knob Gl and hinged at G2 on the sides ofthe section. y
The structures shown in Figs. 8 and 9 are intended to re resent a complete case or cabi- Ihe several sections arefperma# a chute which consists of the outwar ly prod nently united with each other. It is also intended to illustrate certain modifications whichcould be applied to the other form of structure. J is the back J1 the sides of a cabinet which is also rovided with an intermediate vertical partition J 2, and preferably rovided with the curved corner pieces J3. t is also provided with intermediate transv erse ortions J4. Thus a series of pigeonhole l1 e compartments is produced in the cabinet. Each compartment preferably has in front a hinged door K with a glass front K1.
This door fits against a ledge K2 on the partition J2 and against a downwardly projecting closed portion A9, the lower end 0f which is received into the sockets A10. Beneath the hinged door is a pivoted closure consisting of the side portions M M and the cross piece M1 with the curved projection M2. The entire structure is pivoted at M3 so that when the structure is in the position shown in the lower part of Fig. 8, the part M1 incloses the opening beneath the door and when it is in the position shown in the upper part of Fig. 8, the part Ml'serves as a platform leading into the compartment or section above. In this form of structure we prefer to fill from the rear and for that purpose each compartment has in its upper end a pivoted similar structure. The c osure below the door is provided with the cross bar M4 which engages the pin M5 to limit the excursion of the structure. The fillingf opening closure consists of the side walls O having the cross piece O1 and the closure or chute O2, the whole pivoted at O3 in the opening O4. The chute O2 is turned up at its outer end to form a strengtheningT rib O5. We have shown these several details of construction so as to present one practical form of our device, but it will be understood that these several structures can be greatly altered and some of the details may be omitted and one type substituted for another without departing from the spirit of our invention. We therefore wish to have our drawings taken diagrammatical rather than otherwise. Thus the glass B3 might be slidably supported by grooves impressed in the sides of the metal case to receive the edges of the glass or its support. A single compartment could be used separately.
The use and operation of our invention are as follows 2-In grocery stores it is highly desirable to have means for storing considerable quantities of the various kinds of articles which are sold. For sanitary urposes they should be stored in sealed ang closed compartments. For convenience the' compartments should be such that the goods can be taken out while exposing the remaining material to the least ossible degree. It is also of courseA highly esirable that the goods be exposed for advertising pur oses or for inspection. The question o room is also serious where space in the large cities is rented at such a high annual charge. A case of our sections or compartments set together or built up will occupy the least possible space, and can be set close to the walls if arranged to be filled from the front. When the sections are thus set together a suitable cover is put on the top case or compartment. The top compartment is filled from above and the others from the filling openings. The front is as far as possible of glass so that the interior and the material contained therein is open to inspection and observation. When the material is to be withdrawn in the case of structures shown in Figs. 1 to 6 the door is moved upwardly7 whereupon by the usual scoop moved in over the filling opening cover and thebottom of the compartment, the material can be withdrawn from below. The only exposed material is that which forms the surface which indicates the angle of repose. `The interior of the compartment is sealed by the material. Tf now the next lower compartment is to be filled it is only necessary to remove the 'cover of its filling opening, and place the filling chute in position as indicated in Fig. 2 whereupon it may be filled. Here again there is very little exposure of theinterior of the compartment being filled. When it has been sufficiently filled the cover is restored to its position and the sliding door is moved down after the chute has been removed, and thus the compartments'are again sealed. In Fig. 7 the action is the Asame except the hinged door is substituted for the sliding door, and the lower compartment canbe filled without moving such door. In the structure shown in Fig. 8 the filling takes place at another point or at the back of the compartments. We have mentioned some materials for which our invention is useful, but any kind bounded by inclosing approximately verti-v cal walls and provided with a lower discharge opening leading laterally through l ne of such vertical walls, an upper movable closure for such o ening, an inner guard for such opene ing to ocate the lower edgeof the face of the material when at its angle of repose inside of the vertical walls of the section, a filling opening in the u per part of each section located so as to fall) between such movable closure and the guard when the sections lare superimposed, a removable cover for such filling opening, said openings located so that the fi ling opening of one section is accessible from the discharge opening of the section above when the sections are assembled.
2. A show case for flowing solids comprising a -series of superimposed sections each bounded by inclosing approximately vertical walls and combining with a discharge open- .opening in the u per part of each section located so as to fal etween such movable closure and-the guard when the-sections are superimposed, a removable cover for such filling opening, such opening so placed that the lling opening of one section is accessible from the discharge opening of the section above it when the sections are assembled.
3. A show case for flowing solids comprising a series of superimposed sections veach bounded by inclosing ap roxiinately vertical walls and provided witli a lower discharge opening, an outer vertically movable closure for such opening, an inner guard for such opening to locate the lower edge of the face of the material when at its angle of repose inside of the vertical walls of the section, a filling opening in the u i )er part of each section located so as to fall etween such movable closure and the guard when the sections are superimposed, and a removable cover .for such filling opening, the openings placed so that the filling opening of one section is accessible from the discharge opening of the section above when the two are assembled.
