CHARLES A. TROESCHER, OF JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY.
TRAY FOR RINGS.
SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent N0. 499,264, dated June 13, 1893.
Application filed February 9, 1893. Serial No. 461,565. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, CHARLES A. TROESCHER, a citizen of the United States, residing in Jersey City, Hudson county, and State of New.
Jersey, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Trays for Rings, &c., of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to trays, frames and similar devices used to contain and exhibit rings and other articles of jewelry, &c.
Heretofore trays and frames for exhibiting jewelry and analogous articles have had the frame or tray lined with silk, satin or velvet and the like, and were provided with spaces or openings to contain and exhibit the various articles of jewelry, &c. The objection to this class of frames and trays is that the materials used for linings are not only costly but also are easily soiled and destroyed by frequent handling and exposure.
The object of myinvention is to provide a simpler means of holding the articles to be exhibited andat the same time a cheaper and more serviceable case. By my improvement- I provide a tray or frame which if soiled canbe readily cleaned, and also by reason of its construction will securely hold therein the articles exhibited.
In the drawings Figure 1 represents a plan View of a tray or frame for exhibiting rings. Fig. 2 represents a similar view with the top plate removed. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of Fig. 2 through the line X X.
In the drawings similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all figures.
A, designates a frame block made preferably of wood cut in the shape desired and provided with a series of one or more slots or openings so that the desired number of apertures b, for exhibiting the articles may be arranged therein.
B, B designate narrow strips of celluloid or other analogous flexible material each respectively secured to the opposite sides a a of the top of the aperture b preferably by small tacks or nails c,-and extending downward therein, where by reason of the resiliency of the material they will press outward each against the other. The portion of the frame block at the sides of the aperture on the top of the frame block may be somewhat countersunk as at so that when the strips of celluloid or similar material are secured thereto, the surface of the frame block will be flush.
Instead of employing a frame block provided with an aperture, and securing the strips of flexible material at opposite sides on the top thereof, substantially the same result may be obtained by employing atop plate of celluloid or like material of heavier body and having arranged therein openings of suitable size, andsecuring to the under side of said plate at the opposite sides of the arranged apertures, narrow strips of celluloid by the use of celluloid cement. It will be seen that the employment of this means is substantially the equivalent of "the use of nails in securing the narrow strips to the frame block, the only difference being, in the latter case the separate frame block is dispensed with, as the top plate being of heavier body can be inclosed in the caseand will be of sufficient rigidity to support any articles to be exhibited on the tray. Of course it will be obvious that frames may be made of any desired size by duplicating the rows or increasing the number of apertures and the whole inclosed within a case or box, or that the tray may bemade in any ornamental shape or dethe frame or tray by taking a sheet of celluloid or like materialD which is first provided with openings corresponding to the apertures in the frame block and likewise securing the same to the top of the frame block by suitable celluloid cement. It will readily be seen therefore that my improved frames or trays can be readily washed or cleaned if soiled and at the sametime any article of jewelry, &c., which may be inserted in the apertures for exhibition will be securely held therein by reason of the resiliency of the strips of the flexible celluloid or analogous material extending down in the apertures. Also that the apertures in the frame block maybe made of anysuitable size according to the article to be exhibited.
I am aware that pyroxylin'e in its various.
forms has been used for the lining of jewelry,
cutlery and similar frames and trays, such lining being the form of a shell or shells having corrugated sides forming the apertures and such I do not claim.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. As a new article of manufacture a jewelry tray having the display openings therein, regulated and formed by securing preferably on the top of the frame block and countersunk therein, narrow strips of flexible material such as celluloid &c. on opposite sides of a cut or slot in the frame block and into which the said narrow strips project downward so that the resiliency of the material may cause said strips to press one against the other substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.
2. 111 a jewelry tray the combination of a frame block having a suitable opening therein, of narrow strips of flexible material such as celluloid &c. extending downward therein and secured on the top of said frame block at opposite sides, and a top plate provided with openings corresponding with the regulated apertures in the frame block substantially as described.
3. The herein described jewelry tray composed of the frame block A, provided with a cut or opening, narrow strips of flexible ma terial B B such as celluloid (lac. countersunk in and secured to the top of said frame block A, by nails 0 and a top plate D, substantially as shown and described.
4:. In a jewelry tray, the combination with a top plate having display openings therein, of narrow strips of flexible material such as celluloid &'c. secured on the under side of the top plate on opposite sides of the display openings in said plate and so arranged that the articles to be exhibited when inserted in the display openings will be held therein by the resiliency of said strips pressing against the articles so inserted, substantially as described.
