Another object of the invention is to providea silent salesman rack adapted to conveniently expose the name of a newspaper or other periodical and equipped also with means for the display of a card or sheet containing advertising or other matter.
It is also an object of the invention to enable the means for supporting such advertising display to be conveniently arranged for forming either a support for such advertising matter or a cover or top for the rack to protect the contents of the same from the weather.
With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter'fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims hereto appended, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion and minor details of construction, within the scope of the claims, may be re sorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the drawings, in which like characters of reference designate corresponding parts in the several views w Figure 1- is a front elevation of a silent salesman rack, constructed in accordance with this invention, the hinged top section being arranged for the display of an advertislng card.
Figure2 a rear elevation of the rack. F1gure 3 1s an end elevation of the same.
of the hinged top section, being arranged to protect the contents of the rack. Figure 5 is a detail sectional view taken longitudinally of the front wall, illustrating the means for closing and locking the coin compartment.
Fig. 6 is a detail showing the connect-ion of member 3 with member 13.
' In theaccompanyingdrawing, in which is illustrated the preferred embodiment of the invention, the silent salesman rack comprises in its construction front and rear walls 1 and 2, relatively movable toward and from each other to clamp and securely hold the contents of the rack and connected at'their upper portions by end links 3 and at their lower edges by a flexible bottom member 4, which is suitably secured to the front and rear walls of the rack and which receive and support the contents of the rack, whereby the weight of the contents will assist in maintaining the front and rear walls of the rack firmly in clamping engagement with the contents to prevent the contents from being blown away or otherwise accidentally displaced while the rack is in use. The flexible material which connects the lowermost ends of the rigid front and rear walls sags beneath the same to form a trough whereby when the trough is loaded with pa ers, magazines orthe like, the said walls wi 1 contact with and clamp the load. This will enable the rack to safely retain its contents at exposed places in windy weather. The front and rear walls may be constructed of any suitable material, either wood or metal, or a combination of both being preferably employed and the bottom section, which is shown as aheavy fabric maybe of any flexible material, either metal or fabric, which will permit the front and rear walls to have the said relative movement toward and from each other to vary the capacity of the rack and-to enable the contents to be automatically clamped between the front and rear walls thereof.
The rear wall is shown constructed of sheet metal and is provided with spaced rigid legs Figure 4: is a central vertical sectional-view 5 and a central hinged leg 6 to form an easel for supporting the rack in an upright position for use and the said rear section is provided at its ends with vertical tubular guide beads 7 for the reception of arms 8 of a pintle rod 9 on which a hinged top section 10 is mounted. The pintle rod is constructed of suitable material and the, terminal portions thereof are bent at right angles to form the arms 8 to slide in the guide beads. This will enable the hinged portion of the top section to be raised and lowered so that the top section may be arranged either flat against the front face of the rear section or at an angle thereto and project over the front section to form a top or cover forthe rack. The hinged top section is provided at the bottom and end edges with marginal flanges 11 which form grooves or ears for the reception of an advertising card 12 and the front or outer face of the hinged section is adapted to have printed, orotherwise marked thereon, the name of a newspaper, magazine or other periodical.
The side heads 7 of the rear section are provided at their upper portion with spaced perforations 13 for the reception of terminal engaging portions 14 of the links and the front or outer ends of the links are preferably provided with eyes 15 to receive pivots 16, but any other suitable means may be employed for pivoting the front ends of the links to the front wall. The front wall is preferably constructed of wood and metal and is provided with a central coin compartment 17 and it has a coin slot 18'at the upper end thereof to receive the coinsand it is designed to have printed, or otherwise marked, adjacent the coin slot the rice of the newspaper or other contents of t e rack.

The coin slot may be arrange at any other convenient point, such as the top of the front wall if desired. Instead of mounting the rack on the "easel means may be provided such as a eye or opening for hanging the rack upon a suitable support. The papers or other contents may be readily removed as an upward pull on the front or outermost paper will tend to swing the front 1 wall outward and upwardly and relieve the paper of the clamping action or pressure of the device. As soon as the paper is removed from the rack the front wall will automatically return to its'clamping position and again securely hold the contents .of the rack.
