DISPLAY CASE.
Application filed December 21, 1923. Serial No. 681,912.
ing added space for advertising, descrip-.
tive, pictorial or other matter designed to attract and hold the attention. of the purchaser and afford him more or less complete information as to the goods displayed. Although the display case of the present invention is adapted for containing and displaying various' kinds of goods, the invention is more particularly concerned with providing an improved display case for containing and displaying cylindrical packages or boxes of leads for mechanical, selfpointing, or automatic pencils. Such leadsusually vary in their degree of hardness or softness, the degree of hardness or softness of the leads depending upon the character of the work to which they are to be put. One of the features of the present invention is to provide a separate compartment for the boxes containing leads of the same degree of hardness or softness. Each compartment will be appropriately labeled and only boxes containing leads of a particular hardness or softness will be placed in that compartment. This arrangement-- conduces to convenience and a saving of time for both the salesman and the purchaser. The invention also embraces various improvements and arrangements of parts as described hereinafter and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings illustrating the preferred form of the invention Fig. 1 1s a front elevation of the improved display case; Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the display case; Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken through one of the compartments, showing the manner in which the packages are contained therein; Fig. 4 is a sectlon taken along the line 44 of Fig. 2; and Fig. 5 IS a section taken along the line 55 of Fig. 2.
the drawings, comprises a display surface or front 6 preferably composed of metal, such astinned, iron treated with japan or other finishing varnish. The lateral and bottom edges 7 of the plate from which the display surface 6 is formed are turned over rearwardly to stiffen the display surface and incidentally to lend a more pleasing appearance to these parts. The compartments 8 for holding or containing'the packages, such as the cylindrical boxes of leads, are
supported from the rear side of the "front plate 6. These compartments are vertically arranged and are long enough to hold 5 or 6,. or more boxes of leads. There maybe any desired number of compartments. In the illustrated form of the invention there are eight compartments each adapted to hold. boxes containing leads of a different degree from the very softest used up to the very hardest.
The compartments 8 may be separately made and attached to the plate 6. Prefer ably, however, the package containing compartments are formed as evenly spaced corrugations in a single plate or sheet of metal 11, so that when the rear late 11 is secured to the rear side ofthe ront plate it will form therewith a series of evenly spaced,
The improved display case, as shown in parallel, vertically arranged compartments open attheir upper and lower ends. The lateral edges 9 of the rear plate 11 project beyond the compartments to provide means for securing the compartments to the rear side of the plate 6 as by means of the rivets 10. Additional holding means is provided at the top of the compartments in the'form of a band 12; this band also afl'ording means for designating the kind of leads to be placed in each compartment. The boxes ofleads are conveniently placed in the com-.
partments by way of the open tops, in Fig. 3.
The lower partof each compartment opens into .an elongated'slot 14 formed in the lower end of the front plate 6 so as to as shown display the lowermost package or box in each compartment and present it for ready and easy removal by the salesman. The openings or slots 14 are about two-thirds or three-fourths of the length of the packages or boxes, as shown in Fig. 3. As each lowermost box passes through the opening.
The strip 19 is provided with the ears 20 by which the upper edge of the strip is held against the plate 6, the lower edge of the stri fitting under the bottom upturned edge 7 o the plate 6. Each tongue 18 is of such size that it substantially fills the lower end of its compartment, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 2. In order that the packages or boxes may slide down easily into the openings 14 when they strike the deflecting tongues 18, the adjacent parts 21 of the plate 6 over the upper ends of the slots are bellied out, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4.
The improved display case, constructed as described above, maybe hung up on the wall of the store by means of the hole 22 in the strip 12; or it may be set up for display on the counter by means of the easel 24which is secured to the case by the ears 25 struck up from the flanges 9. Over each opening 14 may be placed appropriate marks descriptive of the kind of lead contained in the boxes in the corresponding compartment. This descriptive matter is not only of con venience to the storekeeper or salesman but also informs the purchaser just what degree of hardness-or softness the leads have and how these different degrees of hardness and softness are distinguished one from the other so as to enable him toseeure the kind of lead best adapted for the particular purpose in hand. On the strip 12 and opposite the top of each compartment may also be placed the appropriate description corresponding to the descrlption over each opening 14 to enable the Storekeeper or salesman to place in each compartment the boxes of lead for which it is intended, the boxes, of course, being fur nished with corresponding descriptive matter. When a box of leads is sold and removed the next box falls by gravity down through the opening 14 and comes to rest on the shelf 15. The relatively large and a clear space above the openings 14 and raised portions 21 maybe occupied by any kind 0f pictorial, advertising or descriptive matter best adapted to attract the attention of the purchaser and inform him concerning the nature of the goods displayed for sale.
Having thus described the invention what I claim as new is .1 A display case for cylindrical packages comprising, a front plate, a series of vertically disposed tubular compartments arranged on the rear side of the plate and having open tops for the reception of the packages, the front plate being provided in its lower portion with slots opposite the lower ends of the compartments, and having portions of the plate above the slots swelled outwardly, a deflector located in the lower end of each compartment to deflect the articles out through the slot and a shelf below each slot to hold the lowermost article in-position to be removed.
2. A display case for cylindrical packages I comprising, a front plate, a rear plate having a series of evenly spaced parallel corrugations of uniform depth secured to the rear side of the front plate so as to form therewith a series of vertically arran ed' tubular compartments, said front plate being provided in its lower end with a series of openings opposite the'lower ends of the compartments, means comprising tongues extend fleeting. the packages contained in the compartments out through the openings, and
means for holding the lowermost package in each compartment in position to be removed.
3. A display case comprising, a front plate having a series of openings in the lower end thereof, a portion of the front plate below each opening being deflected to form a shelf to support a package in position to be removed, a series of vertically disposed compartments arranged on the rear side of the plate and having their lower ends in register with the openings and a series of deflectors for deflecting the articles from the compartments out through the openings.
4. A display case comprising, a front plate having a series of elongated slots in its lower end, the material of the plate being struck up at the bottom end of each slot to provide a shelf to upport an article in position to be removed, a series of vertically arranged compartmentson the rear side of the plate having their lower ends in register with the openings in vthe front plate, and a strip of material secured to the lower rear Side of the plate and having upwardly projecting tongues projecting within the lower ends of the compartments to deflect the packages in moved, a rear plate having a series of corprojecting from substantially the bottom of rugations formed therein so that when the the slots upwardly and rearwardly into the rear plate is secured" to the rear side of the lower ends of the compartments to act as 10 front plate it forms therewith a series of deflectors to deflect the articles in the comtubular, vertically arranged compartments partments out through the slots and onto the having their lower ends in register with the, shelves,
slots in the front plate, a series of tongues JULIUS E-RDOES.
