11 T/VESSES IWVEWTOi? W :2 Ta/zM/WSMJSE UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ALBERT J. FISHER, OF PONTIAC, MICHIGAN.
WINDOW-DRESSER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 440,554, dated November 11, 1890.
Application filed June 18, 1890. Serial No. 355,907. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALBERT J. Frsnnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pontiac, in the county of Oakland and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Window-Dressers, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to that class of furniture which is used more especiallyin the windows of stores for the purpose of displaying goods and wares, termed window-dressers, and. in which facility for new and novel changes to relieve from the sameness in effect from day to day is desirable; and it especially provides for such changes being made without the necessity for the removal or the derangement of the articles displayed thereby; and it consists in the arrangement and combination of a series of preferably curved shelves supported by standards and so pivotedtogether as to permitof their arrangement with respect to each other and that the form of the dresser may be varied at will, in the manner and for the purposes more fully hereinafter described.
In the figures similar letters refer to similar parts.
Figure I shows a skeleton elevation of the frame-work of my improved window-dresser. Fig. 2 is a top view of it arranged in one form. Fig. 3 is also a top view showing it arranged in another form, Figs. 2 and 3 being for the purpose of illustrating the facility with which the different portions may be so shifted so as to form different styles and present new sides to the window in which the same is placed.
In the figures, A, B, O, A, B, and 0 represent shelves, which may be made of wood, metal, or wire woven in the proper form, and which are preferably curved more or less-to suit the size and location of the dresser, and which may be, if desirable, covered with plush or upholstered in any form, manner, or color to suit the fancy of the user; or they may be supplied with auxiliary shelves or baskets or hooks for the reception of the articles to be displayed.
D andE are supporting-standards, preferably made round and of any suitable material and preferably made higher than the other standards F, G, H, and I. The standards D and E pass through the shelves A, B, and O in such manner as to form pivots at d and 2. They are also shown as supporting the shelf A and two circular shelves at the top a a. Standards F, G, H, and Iperform the office of supports for the curved shelves B and B and C C, respectively. It is obvious that shelves B and 0 might be extended inwardly and engaged with the standards D and E in a similar manner to the curved shelves B and O, and thus form pivots on the upper tier of shelves without departing from my invention. It is also obvious that any number of shelves may be supported and pivoted one above the other in a similar way. Preferably the supporting-standards may be arranged upon casters, thus facilitating shifting in making the changes and the forms.
Having thus described my invention, what I desire to secure by Letters Patent is As a new article of manufacture, a windowdresser consisting ofhorizontal shelves supported by and turning in horizontal planes around vertical supporting-standards, the said shelves being madein short sections and the sections being connected together by means of the vertical standards, as described, whereby the form of the dresser may be changed, as described.
ALBERT J. FISHER.
In presence of- J. E. SAWYER, H. R. BOSENBARK.
