CASE FOR HOLDING MEDICINE-BOTTLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 242,417, dated May 31, 1881. Application filed April 8, 1881. (1\ o model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THOMAS A. LONG, of the city and county of Philadelphia, inthe State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cases for Holding Medicine-Bottles and other Articles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to cases of the class used for holding, in a way convenient of acto cess, medicine-bottles-which may contain substances possessing different characteristics or properties, or other articles which may differ in their characteristics, and which, owing to their number, it may be desirable to keep sep- 1 5 arated or in classes.
The object of my invention is to provide a compact case, which, if it is to be used for holding bottles containing medicine or substances of different kinds, will permit the bottle holding the particular medicine or substance desired to be readily reached and handled without necessarily disturbing any of the others, and then readily replaced, each bottle in the case occupying its appropriate position, and
being held thereto separate from the others; or, if the case is to be used for holding other articles, will permit them to be placed in particular positions, so as to be separated singly or in classes, so that either article or class of articles desired may be readily reached and handled without necessarily disturbing the others.
The subject-matter claimed is recited at the close of the specification.
In the accompanying drawings I have shown a holding-case embodying my improvements in the best way now known to me.
Figure 1 is a view of the folding case opened to expose the pivoted holders, which are shown 0' at the left-hand side as longitudinally hollow and as containing medicine-bottles, the upper ends only of which are visible, and at the righthand side as plain holders to receive, for instance, dental rubber dam-clamps, which are 5 of various types, (several forms being shown in Fig. 3,) the various forms or sizes of clamp being numbered and slipped upon their correspondingly-numbered holders. Fig. 2is a longitudinal section through a portion of the case on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a face view of the exhibition-card of the case opened. showing several forms of clamp as illustrated and numbered, the name of the originator of the clamp being also given.
The frame of the case consists of two wings or portions, A A, hinged together at their adjacent edges, so as to fold together like a box or jewel-case to form an inclosing-space, a lock, a, being provided to lock the case when necessary.
In the interior of each wing A A there is shown in this example two transverse rows of holders, B, four holders to eachrow. These holders are independently pivoted, at their lower ends preferably, to suitable partitioning cross-pieces I), so that each holder may lie down closely in its frame or portion, as shown clearly in Figs. 1. and 2, or be rocked upward at its upper end, as shown clearly in dotted lines in said last-mentioned figure. 7'0
If the case is to be used for holding medicine-bottles, all the holders will be preferably constructed like those shown at the left hand of the case in Fig. 1-Ihat is to say, longitudinally hollow to receive the bottles-as clearly shown in section in Fig. 2. The number of holders will,of course, be determined by the number of bottles to be held, and may be greatly varied. Each holder at its base will preferably bear the name of the substance which the bottle it is to hold contains, and may, in addition, be numbered.
Each holder, being independently pivoted, may be rocked upward to permit its bottle to be removed and replaced independently of the others in the case, and the holder may then be rocked down to its normal position parallel with the top and bottom of the case, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. It will be observed that when rocked downward the bottles are se- 0 curely held in their holders and prevented from escape by the cross-piece b of the row of holders or of the frame immediately above it.
The case is preferably provided with a card, Ofor instance, a folding cardlike that shown 5 in Fig. 3-which contains a list of the bottles in the case or of their contained substances. The list preferably shows the name of the sub stance in each bottle and the number of the holder in which the bottle containing a particular substance should be found. The card is inclosed in the case, being held in place therein, for example, by the pivoted fastenings 0, (shown in Fig. 1,) the free ends of which, when the card is fitted in the case, are moved over the card to hold it in place.
Below the bottom row of holders in the case I preferably form a series of compartments or spaces, (1, by means of the short longitudinal partition-pieces 0. These partitioned spaces are intended for various uses, one of which may be said to be to receive such additional bottles or articles as the holders of the case were not originally provided for. They are, in other words, extra receivingspaces in the case.
A highly useful purpose to which my im proved case may be put is to fit it for holding rubber dam-clamps for dentists use. These clamps are of various forms or types, and in some of the forms various sizes make up a class in itself.
In order to keep each form or type of clamp separate, and also each particular size, so that they will not be mixed if put in compact space, and to obviate the use of separate boxes to contain them, I provide the case with aholder for each form or size, and number the holders from one upward, each number corresponding with the number borne by a particular clamp.
The clamps are generally of ring form, so that they may be slipped endwise on the pivoted holders when rocked upward, or readily removed therefrom as many at a time as may be desired.
I have shown clamp No. 1 of the Allen type, and also illustrated other forms in Fig. 3 of the drawings. The holders will preferably be smooth plain ones, such as shown in Fig. 1 at the righthand side of the case.
The exhibition or list card shown in Fig. i
3 when the case is organized for holding rubber dam-clamps, will preferably contain an illustration of each different clamp with its number and the name of its originator, so that upon viewing the illustrations and selectinga clamp the clamp itself may be readily found by the number of its holder.
Such clamps as the holders are not adapted to receive may be placed in the extra or partitioned spaces 6?, before referred to, with which the case is provided.
I do not wish to be understood as claiming to be the first to have provided an inclosingease with pivoted or hinged article-holders, as cases of that kind were suggested long prior to my invention.
I claim as my invention- 1.. The combination, substantially as hereinbefore set forth, of the case composed of two wings or portions hinged so as to form an inclosing-case, with rows of independently-pivoted article-holders carried by each of said wings, said holders, when the case is closed,
lying parallel with the top and bottom of the case, while each holder, when the case is thrown open, is exposed to view, so that any one ot'said holders may be rocked upon its pivot independently of the others to permit its particular article to be removed or replaced.
2. The improved case hereinbefore described, consisting of the folding wings having a series of independently-pivoted marked article-holders in each wing, a series of partitioned spaces, an exhibition or list card fitting said casing, so as to be inclosed thereby when the case is closed, and the fastenings for said card within the case.
' In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name.
