Inventor /3 Attorneys CLARENCE N. RGZELL, 0F MCG'OOK, NEBRASKA.
HAT-INDICATOR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 27, 1916.
Application filed April 11, 1910. Serial No. 554,814.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CLARENCE WV. RoznLL, a citizen of the United States, residing at McCook, in the county of ll-edwillow and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and useful Hat-Indicator, of which the following is a specification.
It is the object of this invention to provide a device of the class described, comprising a plurality of rotatable indicators, so mounted and inscribed, that they may at the will of the operator be manipulated to indicate whether or not a certain article is in a receptacle with which the indicators are adapted to be connected.
Another object of the invention is to provide an indicator adapted to convey definite information to a salesman the indicator be ing so constructed that it may be connected with receptacles of different dimensions.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the character hereinafter described which shall be inexpensive to manufacture, facile in operation, and devoid of complicated parts.
The drawings show but one form of the invention, and it is to be understood that changes properly falling within the scope of what is claimed, may be made without departing from the spirit, of the invention.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation; and 2 is a transverse section;
in the drawings there is shown conventionally, and denoted by the numeral 1 a box or receptacle in which merchandise of any desired sort may be stored. In its presentapplication, the device is adapted to be used in the hatters trade, although it is by no means to be limited to that end, and it will therefore be supposed that the box 1 is adapted to contain a plurality of hats of different sizes.
The device includes, as a primary and fundamental element, a support 2. This support 2 is preferably a flexible cord. Strung upon the cord 2, are plurality of blocks 3 hereinafter referred to as the inclicators. Upon one side 5 of the indicators 3 numerals are inscribed to designate the different sizes of hats which are stored in the box 1. The opposite side of the indicators 3 is left plain, as denoted by the numeral 6. At the ends of the support 2, are rings 1. These rings 4 serve to prevent the indicators 3 from sliding to and fro upon the support 2. Resilient members 7 are terminally con nected with the rings 4 at one end, the other ends of the resilient members 7 being connected with eyes 9 at the ends of hooks 8.
Disposed transversely of the support 2 between certain of the indicators 3, is a card holder, the same in the present instance being shown in the form of a straight bar, provided in its intermediate portion with an eye 1 1 through which the support- 2 is extended. A card 11 is impaled upon or otherwise secured to the upper end of the card holder 10 and a similar card 12 is mounted upon the lower end of the card holder. These cards 11 and 12 may be inscribed in any suitable manner; if desired, the upper card 11 may be inscribed with a numeral indicating the stock number of the merchandise, the lower card 12 being inscribed with the retail price of each article.
In practical operation, the stock number is inscribed upon the card 11, the price bcing inscribed. upon the card 12. The hooks 8 are then seized and the resilient members extended so that the hooks may engage opposite edges of the receptacle 1, the resilient members 7 serving to maintain the hold of the books 8 upon the receptacle. The inscribed faces 5 of the indicators 3 are then turned outwardly, to indicate the sizes of hats which are in the receptacle 1. When all of the hats of a given size are sold out, the indicator 3 which is inscribed with that particular size is rotated, so that its plain, blank face 6 is disposed outwardly. Thus, referring to Fig. l, and presupposing that the indicators are inscribed in eighth. sizes, it will be seen that all of the 6% sizes, and all of the 74 sizes, have been sold out.
By positioning the card holder 10 between certain of the indicators 8, the card holder will be maintained in an upright position. The resilient members 7 serve not only as a means for drawing the hooks 8 securely against the edges of the box 1, but, as well, permit the support 2 to be spaced at asulficient distance from the box 1 so that the indicators 3 may be successively rotated to dispose their blank faces toward the salesman.
A great number of the devices of my invention may be stored in a relatively small compass, and, when desired, one of them may be selected indiscriminately, the resilient members 7 enabling a single device to be applied to receptacles of different sizes.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is 1. A device of the class described comprising a support; a holder disposed transversely of the support and connected in its intermediate portion therewith; the holder being adapted at both ends to receive dis play elements; indicators rotatably mounted upon the support; and means for connecting the support with a receptacle.
2. A device of the class described comprising a support; a plurality of individdicators from sliding upon the support; re ceptacle engaging elements; resilient members connecting the receptacle engaging elements with the rings; a bar disposed transversely of the support and connected therewith between certain of the indicators; and display elements removably mounted upon the ends of the bar.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
