THE NORRIS PETERS CO. PHOTO-LITHQ. WASHINGTON D C SHOE-BUTTON SEPARATOB.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 1, 1915.
Application filed July 17, 1913. Serial No. 779,457.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALEXANDER F. SEA- MAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Pottsville, in the county of Schuylkill and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Shoe-Button Separator, of which the following is a specification.
My present invention relates to separators and more particularly to a separator for shoe buttons, my object being to provide a simple and inexpensive device by which a number of buttons may be quickly and easily separated so that the difierent sizes may be withdrawn when desired.
In retail shoe stores the accumulation of buttons is very rapid, these buttons being usually stored ina receptacle in which various sizes are intermixed, requiring consid erable time in sorting out a number of buttons of a particular size.
Through the use of my improved separator the buttons are quickly sorted and the different sizes of buttons stored separately in such manner that a particular size of button may be withdrawn when desired without disturbing the other sizes or enabling the same to again mix.
In the accompanying drawing illustrating my invention, Figure of my improved separator.-- Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken substantially on line 2-2 of Fig. 1, and, Fig. 3 is a central vertical section taken substantially on line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Referring novv to these figures, it will be 7 seen that my improved separator is verti- 'cally cylindrical in form and made up of superposed cylindrical sections A, A, A the adjoining edges of these sections having telescoping portions a which are formed to snugly fit one another and thus hold the sections firmly together. A circular flanged cover A engages the upper edge of the upper section A central opening a through which buttons are introduced into i the separator. "The lower section A has side handles a and a closed base of, the bases a and a of sections A and A respectively being perforated to permit buttons of a desired size to pass therethrough, theperforations of the base of section A being smaller than those of the base of section A In this manner the smaller size of buttons will find their way through both perforated bases into the 1 is an elevation and is provided with a tperposed sections,
lower section A, the next smaller size being held in the section A, and the largest size will remain in the upper section A Each of, the sections is provided at one side with a lower opening a and with vertical guides a upon opposite sides of, and
extending above the said opening, these guides serving to confine a sliding door a movable to cover and uncover the opening as desired. Ordinarily, with the several sliding doors a covering the openings (1, buttons of various sizes are introduced 7 through the cover opening a and the casing is agitated to cause the buttons of smaller sizes to drop through the apertured bases of sections A and A A short time serves to complete the separation of the buttons and it will then be seen that the different sizes are separately stored for removal when desired. For instance, if a button of the larger size is desired, the door of the upper section A is raised and the desired number of buttons withdrawn without danger of mixing with the other buttons or withdrawal of any except those desired.
My improved separator will perform the desired intended functions quickly and efficiently, and serve at the same time as a storage receptacle from which buttons of selected sizes may be withdrawn at pleasure.
I claim:
1. A shoe button separator of the character described comprising a casing consisting of a plurality of superposed sections, of which the lowermost section is provided with a closed base and each of the sections thereabove has a perforated base and a portion of its wall depending below the base to telescopingly fit around the upper edge of the wall of the next lowermost section, each of the sections including the lowermost section having an independent outlet and a closure normally covering the said outlet, all for the purpose described.
2. A shoe button separator of the character described comprising a vertical tubular casing consisting of a plurality of sueach of which sections is provided with a cylindrical wall and an upper open end, and each having an independent outlet and a vertically sliding door normally closing the outlet, the lowermost section of the casing having a closed base and each of the sections thereabove having a perforated base and a portion of its said Wall depending below its basewhereby each of the upper sections may be teleseopingly engaged with the upper open end ofithe next lowermost section, all for the purpose described. V
3. A shoe button separator'comprising a cylindrical casing consisting of a plurality of superposed sheet metal sections, of Which the lowermost section is provided with a closed base and each of thesections thereabove has .a perforated base, each of said latter sectionsalso having outstanding circumferential ribs adjacent their upper and lower ends,
the lower rib of each of said the Wall ofvthe next csoopingly disposed thereon, and each of said tial groove to receive the edge of its base and th e upper -groove forming an external limiting ring to receive the lower edge of section thereabove telesections, including the lowermost section; having an outlet and a closure normally covering the said outlet.
