\VILLIAM H. HALL, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO ALVARADO T. BENSON AND HARRY J. CASSADAY, OF SAME PLACE.
ADVERTISING-CABINET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 625,105, dated May 16, 1899.
Application filed July 2, 1898. Serial No. 685,012. (No model.)
To all whom, zit may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. HALL, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Advertising- Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an advertisingcabinet such as is now extensively used upon hotel-counters and which has receptacles for holding stationery, ink-wells, pens, shot, telegrams, laundry-lists, and the like and which also has provision for displaying advertisingcards. The modern and preferred form of these cabinets has the advertising displayed upon metal cards, the cards being engraved and confined within slideways, so that they may be removed or shifted as changes occur among the advertisers. Sometimes and most frequently the metallic advertising-cards are covered by a protecting-plate of glass, which will prevent the scratching or soiling of the cards. An objection exists, however, to the present construct-ion,wherein the glass plates are used, not only because of the labor and expense involved in assembling the parts and effecting changes and substitutions in the cards, but also because the glass plate rests uponthe surfaces of the cards, the result being that the lacquer or varnish on the cards undergoes changes due to the contact of the glass and metal and resulting in the destruction of the highly-polished surfaces and the rendering of the advertisements indistinct.
It is the object of my invention to provide a cabinet of improved construction wherein the metallic advertising-cards are made readily interchangeable and at the same time securely covered and protected by the plate of glass, which is supported parallel to the faces of the cards and in close but without actual contact with the surfaces thereof, whereby the surfaces of the cards will retain their highlypolished and finished appearance and are protected both from soiling and from tarnishing.
My invention also provides for the ready removal of the card-holders and enables the holders to be taken out and the cards readily shifted and then the holders replaced with the cards newly arranged.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is I a plan view of a cabinet embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation thereof on a line 2 2 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 a sectional elevationat right angles to that shown in Fig. 2 and taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4: is a broken plan view, and Fig. 5 an end view of one of the card-holders removed from the cabinet.
My invention is applicable to a cabinet whose body is composed of either woocl,metal, or other material, but for purposes of illustration is shown in a cabinet having a hollow body suitably braced upon its interior and provided with a series of receptacles for the conveniences or accessories of'a hotelcounter.
In the drawings, 6 represents the body, having sunken or depressed receptacles or holders 7 8 9 10, with provisions for holding inkwells 11, a space for a bell at 12 and for a match-scratcher 13', with cups for matches and tooth-picks at 14. The remaining space on the top of the cabinet may be utilized for the reception of advrtisingcards. As a means for conveniently holding the said cardsl preferably employ a holder such as shown in Figs. 4c and 5. The body of the holder may be ablock of wood 15 of a length corresponding substantially to the rectangular panels at the sides of the cabinet, as shown in Fig. 1. In order to form slideways upon this holder, I preferably employ strips of metal 16 17,tacked or screwed to the sides of the block and having their upper ends folded over and embrac ing between the flanged or folded portions the edge of a strip of felt 18, the felt preferably covering the top of the flange and extending along down the side of the strip. The
space below the flange of the strip 16 forms a slide or guide way in which the cards 19 may he slipped. After the cards are arranged within the holder the latter may be dropped in place in the cabinet, resting on the bottom 20 of the receptacle therefor, which bottom may be solid or composed of metal strips having knee-pieces 21 to maintain the holder in a central position. Over the holder is placed av sheet of glass 22, preferably of greater width than the holder and having its edges beveled or outwardly inclined. The glass maybe con- :00
fined in place by the beveled strips 23, and the latter may be removably secured to the cabinet by means of the bolts 24.
From the foregoing description it will be seen that the glass will thoroughly protect the cards and at the same time is maintained out of contact therewith, so as to provide a space,
as shown at 25, for the circulation of air. It will also be seen that the body of the holder is depressed below the surface of the cabinet and that the glass plate is flush therewith; but the holder need not be depressed as much as shown in the drawings and the glass plates may project above the surface of the cabinet forthe purpose of giving a better finish or improved appearance thereto. I prefer to make the glass wider than the cards and to bevel the edges thereof, so that any dust or liquids sifting or flowing through the joint between the glass and the beveled strips will thus be directed beyond the cards and the latter will at all times be preserved fresh and bright. Obviously the details of construction may be considerably varied. While I prefer in all cases to make the holder removable bodily from the cabinet, it is not essential that it should be removed in order to place the cards, providing it is so arranged that access may be had to the end of the slideway, so as to insert and remove the cards. As all parts of the holder are covered and concealed by the cards with the exception of those portions covered by the felt, the holder may be made of inexpensive materials and does not need to be finished. I prefer to use the strip of fabric to cover the slideways of the holder because it will exclude the entrance of foreign materials to the cards and at the same time form a suitable and attractive setting for the cards themselves.
Without limiting my invention to precise details of construction orcombination of parts, except in consonance with the claims hereinafter written,
I claim 1. In an advertising-cabinet, the combination with the body thereof, having depressed receptacles for the cabinet accessories and spaces between said receptacles and below the surface of the body, and removable holders for advertising cards, said holders being adapted to said spaces between the receptacles and having slideways therein to receive and support the cards in substantially uniform plane, and a transparent cover-plate for the cards supported above and out of contact with the cards and parallel to the faces thereof, substantially as described.
2. In an advertising-cabinet, the combination with the body thereof, provided with depressed receptacles and interchangeable metallic advertising-cards, of a holder for the latter, having flanged strips forming a slideway along the upper surface of said holder, strips of fabric covering said flanges, and a glass plate adapted to rest upon said flanges out of contact with the cards beneath, said holder-and said plate being suitably supported within the body of the cabinet, substantially as described.
