' applicativa manila;
The present invention has reference to self-service stores and aims to provide a" device of this character to be known as the 2 shop easy system so constructed that the purchasing of articles on the `self-service plan will be greatly facilitated;
Animportant objectof the invention is i to provide carriers to receive the articles removed from the shelves by the purchasers, the carriers being so constructed thatthey may be moved from place to place by 'the purchaser, thereby eliminating the necessity of the purchaser lifting and carrying` baskets heavilyladened withrarticles" o mer chandise. j i j A. further object of" the invention is to provide shelving arranged in circular forma- Y tion and a plurality of ariuslpivotally supported centrally ot the circle defined by the arrangementfof shelves so that `wheny the arms `are rot-ated the carriersliat the ends thereof will move in proximity to the shelves, to the end that thepurchaser may place the articles Vin the carriers withfa- T cility.
A still further object of the invention is` i to provide carriers mounted at theends` of the arms for swinging movement so` that one carrier may be moved or swung inwardly or outwardly toperinit the same to pass another carrier. v
With the foregoing and other objects in View which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departingfrom the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawings:
Figure 1 is a plan View illustrating shelving and carriers constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a sectional view through the shelving, and salesroom.
Figure 3 is an enlarged sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Figure 2. j
Figure 4 is a sectional View taken on line 4 4 of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is an enlarged sectional view through one of the carriers and its supporting arm.
Figure 6 is an elevational view illustrating the bearing members12.
The reference character lindicates the ma serial no. "191,442,
the carrier support, the carrierbeiugshown Y in section.
"Referring to` the drawings iu` detail, the reference character 5 designates the shelving wluch 1s circular 1n formation, the'same enibodying a plurality of superposed shelves 6 spaced throughout their lengths by means of i the partit-ions 7 and j defining compartments 8% in which the various articles for sale may be. placed. V f
Supported centrally of the circle "defined by the shelvingfis a vert-ical hollow post 9` which has internal threads at its upper end for the reception of the threaded extremity ofthe bearing member 10, thc "upper end of the hollow post providing a rest or supportl for the disks 11 which are superposed" and provided with openings to receive the bearingmember 10.
,Bearings 12are positioned between disks to ,hold the disks in proper spaced` relation `witheach other, the bearingmembers 12`beingheld against movement by the frictional `Contact of the disks at the end of supporting arms which embody spaced members, the free ends thereof being formed into hoolirsf` 1.4 to receive the bails 1.5 of the carriers 16,. tothe endthat the carriers maybe readily and easily removed, or may be swung inwardly or outwardly out of the path of travel of the adjacent carrier permitting persons to pass while moving near the shelves to remove articles therefrom.
Bearing members 17 are secured to the arms and lit over the Atubular bearin members 12 to move freely thereover. lig on each arm 13 is a plate 18 which is `curved slightly to 4conform to the curvature of the supporting disk on which it is mounted, there being provided rollers" 19 at the ends of the plate and adapted to rest on the disks to support the weight of the arms.
Cooperating with the rollers 19 is a roller 2O that extends from the rear end of each arm, the roller 20 being designed to engage the Linder surface of the adjacent upper disk to insure against binding of the rear end of the arm with which it is associated.
Thus it will be seen that due to this construction, a purchaser may take hold of one of the carriers and walk adjacent to the shelving removing packages therefrom, placing the packages in theY carrien At the rear of the room defined by the circular shelving,
ounted is a checkers desk 21, and it is contemplated in carrying out the system to have the checker examine the packages, place the amounts and cost thereon so that as the person moves towards the exit indicated at A, the cashier seated at the desk 22 may add the amounts of the various packages and receive the pay understood that it is within the scope of the invention to provide the bails with hooks to be hooked over the arms.
I claim:
1. A self-service store system embodying f a salesroom, clrcularshelvlng arranged within the salesroom, supporting arms pivotally mounted centrally of the salesroom, the free ends of the arms moving` adjacent to the shelving, carriers mounted to swing 'on the free ends of the arms, and said arms adapted to be moved by persons making purchases.
2. A self-service store system embodying a salesroom, circular shelving arranged in the salesroom, a post supported centrally of the salesroom, arms mounted on the post and adapted to swing in the are of a circle, the free ends of the arms operating in proximity to the shelving, and removabley swinging carriers mounted on the free ends of the arms.
3. A self-service store system embodying shelving arranged in the Jform of a circle, a post supported centrally of' the circle, arms radiating from the post and adapted to swing around the post, the free ends of the arms being disposed adjacent to the shelving, and' swinging carriers mounted on the free ends of the arms. Y
4. A self-service store system embodying shelving arranged in the form of a circle, a post arranged centrally of the circle, a plurality of spaced superposed disks mounted at they upper end of the post, carrier arms supported by the post, wheels on the carrier arms and contacting with the disks to support the arms, and removable carriersrmount ed at the outer ends of the arms and adapted to move in proximity to the shelving.
5. A self-service store system embodying shelving arranged in the form of a circle, a post supported centrally of the circle formed by the shelving, arms supported by the post andadapted to rotate around the post, said arms having downwardly extended free ends, carriers, said carriers having bails, and
hooks at the free ends of the arms to accommodate the hails.
self-service store system embodying shelving, a post supported adjacent to the shelving, arms mounted for rotation around In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed 'my signature.
