WINDOW-SHADE EXHIBITOR AND CABINET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 623,543, dated April 25, 1899.
Application filed June 30, 1898. Serial No. 684,843. (No model.)
To CLZZ whom, t may concern:
Be it known that we, LEANDER P. HAMILTON and HEZEKIAH K. MOURNING, citizens of the United States, residing at Altamont, in the county of Labette and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful lVindoW-Shade Exhibitorand Cabinet, of which t-he following is a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in window-shade exhibitors and cabinets.
The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of devices for eX- hibiting window-shades and to provide an inexpensive and efficient combined cabinet and rack adapted to receive a large quantity of window-shades and capable of advanta geously displaying samples of the same.
A further object of the invention is to protect the stock from dust and afford ready access to the same without interfering with the samples displayed, and to arrange the latter so that they will indicate the character of goods in the various compartments.
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of a display-rack and cabinet constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view. Fig. LL is a horizontal sectional view. Fig. 5 is a detail sectional view of one of the slides, illustrating the manner of mounting the same on the cabinet.
Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings. A
l designates a cabinet provided with suitable legs 2, preferably arranged at the front and back of the cabinet and provided with curved feet or bottom pieces; but any other desired arrangement of legs may be employed. The cabinet, which is oblong in vertical and horizontal section, is provided with a central vertical longitudinal partition 3, and has a vertical series of horizontal shelves 5o el at each sido of the partition 3 to divide the 'this arrangement of the brackets.
spaces between the partitions and the sides into compartments for the reception of window-shades. Each compartment is designed to be of sufficient size to accommodate one dozen shades.
The front end of the cabinet is provided with hinged doors 5, preferably provided with glass panels, as shown, and hinged at their inner edges to a vertical strip or'piece arranged at the front end of the vertical partition 3; but the doors may be hung in any other desired manner. The outer edges of the doors are provided with eyes 6, which are engaged by hooks 7 for holding the doors closed, and suitable handles are provided to facilitate opening the doors. Instead of employing the hooks and eyes any other suitable forni of locking device may be provided for holding the doors closed.
The window-shades 8, which are displayed, are arranged in a horizontal position at the sides of the cabinet, as clearly illustrated in Figs. l and 4 of the accompanying drawings,
and they are located adjacent to and in line with the compartments in order to indicate the color and character of the window-shades contained in the various compartments, whereby the handling of the window-shades in t'rade is greatly facilitated. Each windowshade 8 is supported by brackets 9 and lO, mounted, respectively, on a vertical strip ll and a horizontal slide l2, and each side of the cabinet is provided with this construction. The vertical strip or bar 1l is arranged adjacent to the front of the cabinet, and the brackets 9 carried by it are fixed. Theslides 12, which are located near the back of the casing, are provided at their upper and lower edges with anges l3,`which engage upper and lower grooves or recesses of anged strips l-il, which form ways for the slides and which are secured to the cabinet. As the window-shades vary in length it is necessary to arrange the supporting-brackets at various distances apart, and the slides which are capable of horizontal adjustment provide for By adjusting a slide horizontally in the ways the distance between its bracket and the com panion bracket on the vertical bar or strip l) may IOO be varied and increased or diminished as desired.
The brackets 9 and l0 are of the ordinary construction, and the slides are secured at the desired adjustment by screws l5, passing through them and engaging the cabinet. The window-shades are rolled up, as illustrated in Fig. l of the accompanying drawings; but any one of the window-shades may be readily unrolled and displayed without interfering with the other shades.
The invention has thc following advantages: The combined cabinetand rack, which is simple and comparatively inexpensive in construction, is adapted to contain and protect from dust a large number ot windowshades, and it is capable of displaying a large variety of shades advantageously and of arranging the samples to indicate the color and character of goods contained within the various compartments. The sildes upon which the rear brackets are mounted are capable ot' ready adjustment on windoweshades ot' ditferent lengths.
Changes in the form, proportion, and minor details of construction may be resorted to wit-hout departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages ot' this invention.
What we claim isl. A window-shade exhibitor and cabinet comprisinga cabinet or casing provided with a vertical series of interior compartments for containing window-shades, a vertical series of fixed brackets sustained upon one side of the cabinet upon the outside thereof in linc with the respective compartments, and a second and corresponding number of. brackets disposed upon thc opposite side of the casing in line respectively with said first-mentioned series and adjustably supported, the fixed and adjustable brackets being adapted to receive and display window-shades, and whereby Window-shades of differcntlengths can be supported by the manipulation of said adjustable brackets, substantially as described.
2. A window-shade exhibitor eomprisinga cabinet provided with a vertical series of interior compartments for containing shades, two independent series of brackets disposed upon the outside et the cabinet at opposite sides thereof and in line with or opposite the respective compartments, whereby sample shades can be supported upon brackets opposite the compartments containing corresponding shades, and a vertical series of horizontally-adjustable slides mounted upon one side of the cabinet and adapted for supporting one of said series of brackets, whercbythe latter can be independently adjusted toward and from the complemental brackets, suhstantially as described.
A window-shade exhibitor and cabinet comprising a cabinet provided with a series of interior compartments for containing window-shades, and two series of brackets disposed upon the outside of the cabinet at opposite sides thereof and in line with or opposite the respective compartments, whereby sample shades can be supported upon brackets opposite the compartments containing corresponding shades, substantially as dcscribed.
