INVENTOR 62m 0? M EDWIN P. GRESH, OF NORRISTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA.
SIGN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters latent No. 643,124, dated February 13, 1900.
Application filed August 16, 1899. Serial No. 727,352. (No model.)
To (all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWIN P. GREsH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Norristown, in the county of Montgomery, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Signs, of which the following is a true and exact description.
My invention relates to advertising mediums, and has for its'object the provision of a new and useful sign adapted for advertising any article of commerce, said invention being of a character fully shown in the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure 1 represents a perspective view of myimproved sign, wherein a number of cigarboxes are represented piled together in pyramidal form. Fig. 2 represents a like view wherein such boxes are presented as arranged in a diamond form, and Fig. 3 represents a like view having the appearance of a number of tomato-cans arranged in pyramidal shape.
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
In detail my invention consists in forminga body, either solid or hollow, from any suitable material into various shapes and form sa diamond, a pyramidal, asquare, or any other shape, but of thesame shape as the article to be represented-and then covering the same with suitable labels or devices whereby the said article will have the appearance of a number of the articles to be sold or the receptacles containing them piled together, the said device to be used as a sign or advertising medium instead of the articles themselves, as heretofore.
In Fig. 1 a hollow body A is formed with a front 13 and step-like sides 0 O. This form is covered with suitable labels or devices used in attaching to cigar-boxes. These impart to the article the appearance of a number of such boxes D piled together in pyramidal form, having a base-row E, appearing to contain three boxes, a shorter row F immediately above it, composed of two boxes, and one box G superimposed upon the two; but the device may be made of any height, depending upon the length of the bottom-for instance, a lower row may be of such a length as to represent four boxes and a still lower row five boxes, and so on.
In Fig. 2 the device is formed into a diamond or Maltese-cross shape, having points or arms II, I, J, and K. This is so covered by dal shape, but it is covered with the labels or devices used for attaching to tomato-cans, whereby there is imparted to the article the appearance of a number of such cans piled together into such a form or shape.
A square or any'other form can be used and covered with the label or Wrapper of any article of commerce, and the sign will have the appearance of a pile of such articles formed into that particular shape. The body may be either solid or hollow, but the latter is preferred, and its shape will be that of the article to be represented. Any suitable form so covered by labels or'otherwise as to impart an appearance of a pile of the articles being sold will be within the essence of my invention.
My device is easily constructed and greatly advantageous in handling, avoiding the te .dious method heretofore necessary in piling separate boxes or cans together into the forms shown, and it is particularly useful in that it can be hung outside a store or in any conspicuous place, which would be impossible in the case of the articles themselves.
Having now described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A device of the character specified comprising a hollow shell or casing, projections or ledges formed thereon adapted to receive and having a stamp label or print mounted thereon, the same being arranged to give the appearance of a multiplicity of packages piled together, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
2. A device of the character specified, comprising a body of the shape of a number of like articles piled together, and suitable stamps or labels attached thereto representing those articles.
EDWIN P. GRESII.
