IMPROVEMENT-1N TICKET AND LABEL HOLDERS.
" Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 209,285, dated October' 22, 1878; `application filed muy 1,1878.
To all 'whom it may c "om'cra l 1 l `Be itknown that I, JOHN HENRY MITCHELL,
of Bloomfield, in the county` of Davis and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ticket and Label Holders, ofi
as a holder for labels cards, or tickets for varions other purposes. l
Heretofore it has been customary for druggists to keep their labels in a drawer divided into compartments for the various kinds of labels, and under that system considerable inconvenience is experienced in consequence of the misplacement of labels and the delay occasioned ,in looking for the desired label. Moreover, the labels are liable to be blown about by the wind whenthe drawer is opened, or to be soiled Aby various substances which may be spilled upon them. These and other disadvantages are obviated by the use of my invention.
The accompanying drawings represent a cabinet embodying my improvements, Figure l being a transverse vertical section, and Fig. 2 a front view.
Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts. v
The cabinet or casing A may be of any desired size and of any suitable shape-either round, square, or polygonal. It is here shown as of a form somewhat resembling, in general appearance, an ordinary book-case surmounting a desk, being square in its front view and oblong in its horizontal section, with a desklike extension, A2, at the bottom.
The casing A is divided longitudinally by a vertical partition, b, into twochambers, C D, and its rear side is provided with a hinged door, e. The front chamber, C, is divided transversely by vertical partitions f into a number of verticalcompartments, side by side, which again are subdivided into compartments G, one above another, by means of bars H, attached to the sides of the,` partitions j', and plates J, running across the front edges of said partitions. In the compartments Gr which are next to the ends of the casing A one of the bars H of each pair is attached tothe partition f, and the other to the inner surface of the end wall of the casing. The bars H are preferablyinclined downward toward the front of the casing, as shown in' Fig. l, and their outer surfaces are inclined toward the surfaces of the partition j'. lIhe plates J are attached by screws or nails passing through them and into the front edges of the partitions fr The' lower edge of each plate is slightly face of the follower K is a staple, l, in which works the front end of a lever, M. The end of the lever bears upon the upper surface of the follower, and the staple l holds it in place and prevents lateral vibration.
The lever M passes through a slot, u, in the vertical partition b, and is pivoted about midway of its length by a wire, p, having its ends secured in said partition. The rear end of the lever is formed into a hook, m, to which is attached one end of a spring, S, the other end of which is attached to a hook, t, projecting from the partition b above the lever. This spring pulls upward on the rear end of the lever, so as to cause its front end to bear downward on the follower K. The spring may'be arranged in any suitable manner which will cause it to operate as desired on the lever, and it may be of coiled wire or of rubber, such as the one shown, or of any other suitable mate rial and construction.
The door e allows access to the rear chamber, D, in order to adjust the levers and springs, when desired.
The plates J may have marked on their outer surfaces the names of different drugs, chemi cals, preparations, and other articles such as are sold by druggists and labeled when put up, and also words and figures corresponding with certain forms employed when a label has a portion of its title printed and a portion left blank, to be lled up by writing when the label is used. Each of these word-sor titles occupies a portion of the plate immediately in front of one of the compartments G, as shown in Fig. 2, and the labels which correspond with each title are placed in the compartment indicated thereby. For example, the labels for castor-oil are placed in the compartment which has castor-oil marked on the plate immediately in front of it, and the title Loil of or essence of 7 indicates that in the compartment immediately behind it are labels on which corresponding'words are printed and the remainder of the title left blank, to be filled in by writing.
The labels o are placed inthe compartments Gr, so that their two opposite-sideedges'will rest upon the upper -surfaces of the bars H, and the follower K is placed over the uppermost label, so that the lever M will causeit to press them down irmly and hold them in place.
The distance between the loweredge ofthe plateJ and the upper surfacesof the bars H at their front ends is slightlygreater than the thickness ofthe label, so that there is j ust sufcient space for the :passageof a-single label between lsaid plate and said bars.
readily pulled entirely out of the compartment by taking it between the thumb and nger.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A label cabinet orholder divided by a vertical partition into a front and rear chamber, the former having compartments,in each of Awhich is a follower and lever, while the latter contains" therear ends of thelevers,l thelsprin gs, and a door,-substantially as shown and described.
