HOLDER non PHONOGRAPHICDISK nnconns.

To all whom it may concern: 1

Be it known that I, OT'ro GU'LLMAN, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Holders for Phonographic Disk Records, ofwhich the following, when taken in connection with the drawings accompanying'and forming a part hereof, is a specification. i i

This invention relates to a holder which may be placed in a cabinet, on a table, stand or other article, and in which a plurality of phonographic disk records may be stored, and from which any desired record may be easily obtained; and as readily returned thereto.

Among the objects of this invention are to obtain a holder of the kind to which it relates which is economically made, is durable, not liable to get out of order, the operation whereof is easily understood, and in which a. large number of records may be stored.

In the drawings, Figural is a perspective of a frame and a lever, a plurality of said levers being utilized in a completed apparatus.

Fig. 2 is av front elevation of the holder, some of the duplicate members being removed.

Fig. 3 is a side elevation, with some of the parts thereof broken away.

Fig. 4 is a top plan view, looking down.

Fig. 5 is a side elevation of a partition forming an element of the apparatus.

Fig. 6 is a perspective of one corner of a plurality of partition members, and of the separating member holding them in spaced relation.

And Fig. 7 is a side elevation ofa supportin rod, a spring and a nut positioned on sai rod, an edge elevation of a partition member, and a vertical section of a lever element.

A reference character applied to designate a given part indicates said part throughout the several figures of the drawings whereever the same a pears.

The frame of the holder comprises the base A, standards B, bars C, and cross bar D. Bars C are illustrated as respectively provided with notches or recesses E. F, F, represent rods which extend transversely from one bar 0 to the other one thereof, and said rods are held in a predetermined I Specification of Letters Patent. Patented J 311.13, 1920,

position on said bars C, C, by the ends thereof being in the recesses or notches E, E. G, G, represent partitions which aresupported bv rods F, F, and held in spaced relation by the bars H, H. Partitions G are provided with apertures through which the rods F, F, extend, said apertures being designated by the characters J, J, and the partitions are reinforced around and adjacent to said apertures by the eyelets I, I.

F represents an additional rodwhich eX tends through apertures J in partitions G; and 1 represents an additional eyelet which reinforces said partitions around and adjacent to said apertures J K, K, represent levers which are pivotally mounted on rod F between partitions G, G. In Fig. 1 a lever K is illustrated which'is curved, and in Fig. 3 a similar lever is illustrated which is not curved. "By using the curved lever which is illustrated in Fig. 1 the rod 'F maybe nearer the base A. than where the straight. lever illustrated in Fig. 3, is used; but I as the function of said levers is the same, whether a curved or a straight one is used I do notconsider one a modification of the other. 7: represents a step onthe operable end of lever K. Step Is is to per-' mit a pencil or styletto be used to force said end down whena disk is to be obtained from the holder; L, (Fig. 7 represents a space between adjacent partitions G, G, and said space constitutes a receptacle in which a .disk .(X may'loe stored, with the edge thereof resting on lever K, as is illustrated in Fig. 3. The several levers K, K, between the partitions G, G, are held in close relation (by spring M and nut N, which are mounted on the ends of said rod F to said partitions. The ends of rod F are screw threaded and the nuts N, N, may be turned on said rod to increase the tension of spring M sufiiciently to maintain a lever K in a predetermined position; that is, when the end of a predetermined lever K having step is thereon, is depressed said lever Wlll remain depressed, and when said end is raised into normal position it will remain in said normal position. Any expansion of partitions G, G, and levers K, K, is compensated for by said springs M, M.

To store a disk in said holder it is simply necessary to roll it into a space or chamber L and raise the stepped end of the lever K on which said disk rests into substantially the position which is illustrated in Fig. 3.

K which is supporting said disk is depressed sufficiently to cause said disk to roll on said lever into grasping position. Having depressed the stepped end of a lever K and taken the disk which rests thereon thereg from, said end will remain in said depressed position; and by so leaving it the space or chamber to which said disk should be returned is indicated. Upon the return of said disk to said space or chamber it will remain therein upon the raising of said stepped end of-the lever on which it rests to normal position.

I claim:

1. In a holder for phonographic disk records, a frame, partitions, means to hold said partitions in spaced relation and supported by said frame, in combination With levers pivotally mounted between said partitions, and means to yieldingly hold said partitions and levers in close relation,

2. In a holder for phonographic records, a frame, rods extending transversely of said frame and supported thereby, partitions mounted on said rods, means to hold said ;partitions in spaced relation, in combination with. an additional rod extended through said partitions and supported thereby, and levers pivotally mounted on said ad ditional rod and between said partitions.

3. In a holder for phonographic records,

a frame, rods extending transversely of said with anadditionalrod extending through said partitions and supported thereby, levers pivotally mounted on said additional rod, and means to yieldingly hold said partitions and said levers in close relation.

4. In a holder for phonographic records, a frame comprising a base, standards, bars connecting said standards, from' front to rear, and recesses in said bars, rods in said recesses extending transversely of said frame, partitions respectively.providediwwith apertures inounted "on said rods, with said rods extending through said apertures, separating members on said rods, between said partitions, arranged to hold said partitions in spaced relation, additional apertures in said partitions, and a rod extending through said additional apertures, levers pivotally mounted on said last named rod, and means to hold said partitionsand said levers in close relation, all combined as set forth. I

5. In a holder for phonographic records, a frame comprising a base, and standards, bars extending from the rear to the front standards, rods supported on said bars and extending transversely on said frame, partitions provided with apertures and means to reinforce said partitions around said apertures, separating members on said rods to maintain said partitions in spaced relation, additional apertures and additional means to reinforce said partitions around said additional apertures, in combination with a rod extending through said additional apertures, levers pivotally mounted on said last named rod, springs on said rods and means to force said springs against adjacent partitions to maintain said levers and partitions yieldingly in close relation.
