  • the present invention generally relates to devices or installations that make it possible for a merchant to sell his ware on public ways or in places where crowds gather such as fairs, exhibitions, market places,
  • stalls exist in all sizes generally having a parallelepipedic shape, provided with a single-slope roof and made up of wood panels, capable of being mounted and dismounted rapidly.
  • Such devices comprise either a sales wicket or complete removal of one of its wide faces.
  • the part that opens may be a canvas which, in raised position, acts as an awning.
  • the opening may be obtained by two panels of different sizes, the smaller one located in the lower portion of the opening. being movable to horizontal position to act as a shelf for display or sale, the other panel being mov able upward to act as an awning.
  • Other installations consist in the use of trailers having a top that can be raised and extensible panels or boxes, the person responsible for the sales protecting himself of the sun or rain by means of an independent sunshade.
  • the constituting elements do not interconnect or close with a proper seal and are not tamperproof.
  • the stall of the invention makes it possible to avoid these drawbacks. Indeed, in the use of the stall of the invention, the complete display is visible by eventual buyers who have complete access to it.
  • the stall is, on the other hand, constructed in such a way that in closed position taking up a reduced space, the equipment inside is sheltered against any infiltration while opening of the access door is impossible in that position thus making it-possible to leave the stall outside in any season for any extendedperiod of time.
  • the stall of the invention broadly comprises a hollow body made up of an upper shell to act as a roof and a lower shell to act as a store and sales counter.
  • the upper shell is movable between two positions, a closed position wherein it is sealed against the lower shell along merging edges of the shells and a service position wherein it stands away and above the lower shell to act as a roof, means being provided to displace the upper shell between these two positions.
  • the body closes with the shells abutting one another with their merging edges lying in a horizontal plane at about mid height of the body.
  • the body is a hollow sphere in closed position so that each shell is hemispherical.
  • the displacing means comprises a pair of elongated vertical members mounted at the center of the shells and having one end fixed to one of the shells respectively while their other ends are movable into one another.
  • one member is a threaded rod while the other is a tube having a threaded bore inwhich the rod can be screwed.
  • one member is a cylinder ,while the other is a rod sealingly and telescopically received in the cylinder, the cylinder and rod being parts of a lifting jack.
  • the lower shell is formed with a cutout terminating substantially in the above-mentioned horizontal plane and a groove along the cutout.
  • a door fits in the said groove along its edges facing the groove so that the door may only be opened when the stall is in service position.
  • FIG. 1 is an elevation view of a stall made according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the stall shown in service position
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view of the stall taken along the hori- FIG. 4 is an elevation view of the stall mounted on a wheeled chassis.
  • the stall comprises a hollow body made up of two hemispherical shells, an upper one 1 and a lower one 2, closing one over the other along a horizontal diametral plane.
  • the upper shell 1 is bent outwardly to define a flange 3 which is received in a rabbet 4 formed along the upper contour of the lower shell 2.
  • the upper shell comprises a, metal frame 5 made up of a base ring and bows converging toward a central ferrule 6 in which a central screw 7 is secured.
  • the latter formed with circular groove threads for instance, screws into a nut 8 located at the top of a central post 9 of which the lower end is fixed at the junction of the arms of a cross frame 10 made from shapes or square cross-section tubes, for instance.
  • a cylindrical hoop 1 l is secured over this cross frame 1*!) to act as a bed for the lower hemisphericalshell 2.
  • This allowance for oscillation of the tubular post 9 makes it possible, on the other hand, properly to register the two hemispherical shells in closed position.
  • the lower shell may comprise an interior arrangement to suit the intended use of the stall.
  • the stall is intended for the sale of iced food, ice creams, sorbets or other frot zen food products. It is thus that in the instant case, half of the inner volume of the lower shell 2 may be used to house the cooling apparatus and to store the products to be sold.
  • this housing comprises a thermal insulation 12, the upper part of the shell being provided with a door 13 giving access to the cooling apparatus and two lateral doors 14 giving access to the storedproducts.
  • a posting device having simple grooves in which a card giving the various prices may be slid.
  • Spherical cavities 15 may also be provided for picking up money.
  • a floor 16, a pivoting seat 17 as well as two or more shelves 18 may be provided in the remaining space of the lower shell 2.
  • each branch of the cross frame 10 may have a screw-jack 22 allowing stabilization of the stall over the ground whatever be the flatness of the latter. By operating these screw-jacks until they bear against the ground, it is thereafter possible to withdraw the wheeled chassis.
  • Several stalls may be transported according to the same mounting assembly on a trailer having predetermined dimensions and one or several levels.
  • the stall assembly may be secured in a permanent manner on its wheeled chassis.
  • the screw-jacks 22 are on the chassis itself.
  • the wheels may either be removed, retracted or folded and the towing drawbar is removable in order not to hinder the access to the sales booth.
  • the vertical translation of the upper hemispherical shell may be obtained by a jack incorporated in the central tubular post 9 and actuated by a foot control, the sliding rod of the jack replacing the central screw 7 initially provided.
  • the abutting edges of the two shells may be polygonal, each of the constituting parts then being like orange slices.
  • the stall body may be in the form of a cylinder, of a truncated cone or of any volume of revolution. The inner arrangement may differ in accordance with the use intended for the stall.
  • the stall vof the invention may be used in all cases where sales or distribution booths are required on public ways and places, beaches, kermesses or others wherein the sales booth must be easily moved in accordance with an assembly which is compact, closes tightly and is tamperproof without the inner arrangement having to be modified and wherein it must be placed into service rapidly.
