specification of Letters Patent. Pat t d 15, 192
Application filed July 27, 1920. Serial No. 399,253.
T 0 all! whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CLARA E. JoHNsoN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Remsen, in the county of Plymouth and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in PhonograplrRecord-Filing Racks, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in phonograph record filing racks adapted to have a number of records filed therein for ready and coilvenient access whenever desired for use.
The primary object of the present inven tion is to provide anextremely simple and durable rack of this kind which maybe cheaply and easily manufactured as well as easily placed into practical use.
A further object of the invention is to provide a record rack embodying one or more units composed of a plurality of hinged leaves which may be selectively swung to a vertical position for exposing the record upon the next succeeding lower leaf horizontally positioned therebelow, the leaves being hinged at their rear edges in different vertical planes so as to allow any number or all of the leaves to be swung to a vertical position without obstruction. A still further object of the invention is to provide hinges for the rear edges of the leaves formed from sheet metal so as to also provide small pockets for reception of the edges of the records so that the latter will not become easily displaced;
\Vith the above general objects in view and others that will become apparent as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.
In the drawing, wherein like reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views,
Figure 1 is a front elevational view of a filing rack of the drawer type constructed in accordance with the present invention,
Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary View in vertical section showing a portion of the device in Fig. 1 with one of the drawers in opened or withdrawn position,
Fig. 3 is a top plan view of one of the drawers removed and shown on a larger scale and broken away,
Fig. 4 is a 'sectionalview of one of theleaves taken substantially upon line IV-IV of Fig. 3, 1
Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4 taken substantially upon line V-V of Fig. :3,
F 1g. 6 is a perspective view of one of the pocket forming strips of the leaves, and
F1g. 7 1s a perspective view of one of the lungs members of the leaves.
Although the present invention may be embodied in many different forms and is contemplated to form part of a cabinet talking machine, the same is herein illustrated as aseparate and distinct cabinet embodying a frame 5 having a plurality of sliding drawers 6 arranged in superposed relation and each drawer being of similar construction and embodying a plurality of hinged leaves 7 adapted to normally assume a horizontal position for resting a phonograph record 8 thereon. The cabinet may additionally embody a lower drawer 9 for miscellaneous use such as holding an index card, needles, etc. 1
As the construction of all of the drawers '6 is identical, description of one will suflice.
The drawer 6 comprises a pair of side-members 10 which are of increased height at their rear ends as at 11 and which are connected by a bottom wall 12 as well as front and rear walls 13 and 14 respectively, the
In operation, the drawers 6 are properly indexed asare also the hinged leaves of each of the same. \Vhen arecord is desired, the proper drawer is withdrawn and the desired ones of the leaves 17 of said drawer are swung upwardly to a vertical position for exposing the desired record upon the i then uppermost horizontal leaf so that a personmay readily obtain this record for use. With the records horizontally supported upon the leaves or shelf like'members as contemplated and shown herein it has been found to be quite convenient and much more desirable than with the records vertically disposed as filed in the commonly used racks now on the market and in extensive use. p
' Fromthe foregoing description it is believed that the construction and operation as well as theadvantages of the present invention will be readily understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art.
Minor changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the inof alined openings in the web portions thereof from end to end, a plurality of horizontal rods, each having one end pivotally projecting into one opening of one of said brackets with its opposite end similarly projecting into a corresponding alined opening of the other bracket, a plurality of similar record supporting leaves, and a pair of strips tightly embracing each of said rods adjacent said brackets and rigidly fastened to each of said leaves for securing one rod to each leaf.
2. In a phonograph disk-record filing rack, a support, a pair of similar upwardly and rearwardly inclined alined brackets of channel form rigidly secured in spaced relation to said support and having a number of alined openings in the web portions thereof from end to end, a plurality of horizontal rods, each having one end pivotally projecting into one opening of one of said brackets with its opposite end similarly projecting into a corresponding alined opening of the other bracket, a plurality of similar record supporting leaves, a pair of strlps tightly embracing each of said rods ad jacent said brackets and rigidly fastened to each of said leaves for securing one rod to each leaf, and a sheet metal strip fastened against the rear edge of each leaf, each having a narrow wall extending forwardly above the rear margin of its leaf, whereby a small pocket is provided for reception of the rearmost marginal portion of a record placed on said leaf.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
CLARA E. JOHNSON.
