C. S. PALM.
STORE FIXTURE. No. 600,238. Patented Mar. 8, 1898.
@ww/Moz Wiesn/o 7 IIIHIIII ii'" TATES PATE STORE-FIXTU RE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 600,238, dated March 8, 14898.
Application filed .Tune 30, 1897. Serial No. 642,979. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, CARL SEG-ERROT PALM, residing at Elgin, in the county of Bastrop and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Store-Fixture, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has relation to certain improvements in store-iixtures.
l The object of my invention is 15o-provide a store-fixture comprising a support for bins or like receptacles and with improved mechanism for facilitating the withdrawal and Wei ghing of the contents of said bins.
lith this object in view the invention conn sists in certain novel features of construction and in combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter fully described, and afterward specifically pointed out in the appended claim.
In order to enable persons skilled in the art to which my invention most nearly appertaius to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, reference being had to the acco1npa nying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective View showing my improvement in use. Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view. Fig. 3 is a `cross-sectional view.
Like letters of reference mark the same parts wherever they occur throughout the various figures of the drawings.
In carrying out my invention I have shown acounter A, provided on its upper portion with a track B, on which a scale C is freely movable back and forth.
D indicates a rack consisting of the uprights E and the horizontal bars F, which are secured to the uprights in any suitable manner.
F represents a flooring secured in any desired wayto the top part of the rack, the saine being provided with openings G, extending therethrough, the purpose of which will be shortly described.
Arranged on the iioor and preferably in parallel rows are the bins H or receptacles to contain the merchandise, the bottoms thereof being concaved, as shown, and provided with openings registering with the openings of the floor to permit of the merchandise contained in the bins being discharged therethrough into a hose or tube connection I, a rubber collar or sleeve .I being employed to freely slide thereon.
W'hen it is desired to use my device, the bins arranged on the iiooring are iirst filled with the desired quantity of sugar, meal, rice, peas, or the like, and when a call is had for some particular kind of merchandise the scale is moved along the track of the counter or shelf until the same is directly below the bin containing the goods desired. A package to receive the contents of the bin is then placed on the scale and the hose or tube connection taken hold of by the salesman. The rubber ring or sleeve is moved upwardly, permitting the lower end of such hose or tube to drop down, thereby permitting the contents of the bins being withdrawn therethrough. One hand is generally used for holding the hose, so that after the desired quantity of goods has been withdrawn and weighed the same can be pressed together, stopping the flow from the bins and permitting of the end of the hose being turned over onto the rem aining portion thereof, when the ring can be placed over the same, as clearly shown in Fig. 3.
From the foregoing description it will be seen that I provide an exceedingly cheap and simple construction of store-fixtures, in which provision will be made for the storage of a large quantity of merchandise and the same discharged therefrom in the desired quantities and in an easy manner without the ein-- ployment of scoops, die., that are now generally used in stores.
It should also be observed that by reason of the peculiar-shaped bottoms of the bins when such bins are arranged in parallel series the discharge-tubes from the bins will be brought closely together, so as to be within easy reach of the operator.
While I have not described the use of an y particular kind of material in constructing the bins, it will of course be understood that any suitable material can be employed for the purpose.
I do not care to limit myself to any partien ular shape of bins nor to the exact arrangement of rack, as it is evident that various slight changes might be made in-the forms, constructions, and arrangements of the several parts described without departing from.
IOC)
the spirit and scope of my invention. Hence I do not care to limit myself to the exact construction herein set forth, but consider myself entitled to all such changes or variations as might fall within the limit and scope of my invention. A
Having Jrhus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-
A store-fixture comprising a counter, a Inetallic framework extending above the counter, a shelf superposed thereon having two series of openings, the openings df each series being inclined toward the center line of the counter and iiooring, two series of bins arranged upon the floor having con caved bot- CARL SEGERROT PALM.
