To @ZZ fwwm t may concern Be it known that i, JOHN ALEXANDER Prim, of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, in vthe Provinoe oaOntario, Canada,A have invented certain new and useful the interior of a receptacle especially when adapted for the sale of chewing gum,

whereby the different or desired flavors may he selected bythe purchaser with facility.

.z-i further object is yto so arrange the means that it will not interfere with the receptacle bci-ng kept in a closed condition.

To eect these objects l have constructed my receptacle with a series of cards radiating from a common center and extend ing from the top to the'hottom of the receptacle, and pro'ided 'with shoulders intermediate of theouter edge, whereby the upward movement ofthe cards is limited, and a handle or loopior raising the cards, each complementary card heilig labeled near the upper edge with the naine of the particular 1flavor inclosed by the complementary cards, so that the minor packages contained therein may he readily distinguished and selected, the parts, being otherwise conn strnctcd and arranged as hereinafter more particularly explained.

Figure l, is a perspective View showing a receptacle provided with my improvement. lfig. 2, is a view of 'the divisions removed from the receptacle.

it is the receptacle, which lf slow cylindrical, although it may be oi' any other form or shape and are a series of cards, which are provided with shoulders B, whereby the upper endaof the cards are reduced in size.

opposite each other. All together I show six divisions, although, of course, there may be more depending on the number of cards used. The cards are connected together preferably by a ribbon or cord C, which is sewn through holes in the cards as indicated and terminates at the upper end-in a loop C. This loop C 'forms aineans for raising the', vcards.' The shoulders B form of vthe cards, such shoulders coming in contact with a rim A as indicated in Fig. l. On the upper face of the cards within each angle is-printed the name of the particular flavor of chewing gum encompassedwithi'ri the angular space (see Fig. l).

Such a division rece tacle as l describe is very simple and eiiectuallyprovides a means tor4 separating different flavors of chewing gum, and indicaifin the I exact space in which they are located in orderigthat they may be selected with facility. i

l. The combination with a receptacle having an inturned rim at its peripheral edge, of a series of cards having shoulders, designed to come in contact with the rim upward beyond said rim.

2. Thenornbination with a receptacle having an upper rim, of a series of cards having shoulders designed to conie in Contact with the upper rim forming divisions, and extensions on the upper ends of the cards having imprint-ed thereon an indicating name as and for the purpose specified.
