Application tiled June 1l, 1900. Serial No. 19.906. (No model.)
To (L17/Z tch/011e it muy concern: n
Beit known that we, NATHAN B. LEVY and KALMAN LEVY, citizens of the United St-ates, residing at Scranton, in the county. of Lackawanna and State of Pennsylvania, have Vinvented a new and useful Display-Tray, Jof which the following is a specilication. A
This invention relates to a jewelers displaytray; and the object of the same is to provide a simple and effective device of this character adapted to be opened and closed and supported on case or counter in elevated position, and when opened the cover serves as a receptacle for receiving the goods in showing them to customers and acts as a protect-ion from injury by dust, dto., which collect on the counter. Furthermore, when the device is closed it is dust-proof and protects the goods displayed from dust, gas, and other substances which might tend to tarnish or soil the said goods, and when placed on the case or counter for inspection the goods cannot he handled by the customer, as the tray would not loe apt to be opened by any one without the assistance of clerks, and the device also protects the goods displayed against the nefarious practices of kleptomaniacs.
The invention consists in the construction and arrangement of the several parts, which will be more fully hereinafter described and claimed and is subject to a wide range of modification Within the purview of the invention, and contemplates changes in the form, size, proportions, and minor details. Y
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a display-tray embodying the features of the invention and shown open. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section of the improved device, shown closed. Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view showing the means for fastening. the rim to the back.
Similar numerals of reference are employed to indicate corresponding parts in the views.
The numeral l designates a back, which is preferably formed of Wood and, as shown, is circular, though other shapes will be adopted at will. The front face of the said back is recessed, as at 2, and this is attained by cutting the material out at the front to leave a surrounding inwardly-beveled shoulder 3, having its outer portion formed with a seat 4 to receive a circular card 5 of the proper dimension and held in place by a rim 6 of metal. The said rim is fitted over and secured to the periphery of the back and has an inwardly projecting flange 7 bearing against the edge of the card 5, and said rim also has an outstanding Bange 8. To the lower central portion of the rim 6 an annular or ring frame 9 is connected by a hinge or analogous pivotal device 10, and secured therein is a glass plate 11 of the same form, the said frame 9 being proportioned and disposed to snugly and removably tit. over the flange 8 to form a tight joint to prevent the entrance of gases and dust or other injurious substances to the tray when closed.
To the rear face ot' the back la rest or prop l2 is pivotally' or otherwise secured and has a broad bearing unattached end to contact with the su rface of a counter or case to thereby elevate the entire tray and maintain it in an inclined position for display purposes. The contents of the tray will at all times be observable through the plate ll, carried by the plate l0, and the two last-mentioned p'arts form a cover for the improved device, and when let down, as shown by Fig. l, provide a convenient receptacle for receiving the goods or articles of jewelry in an easily-accessible examining position and to protect them from injury by dust, grit, or other substances that may be present on the case or counter. Furthermore, the disposal of the goods for display purposes in the cover when let down preventsthe said goods from b ecoming scattered and retains them always under inspection of the salesman or clerk, who will thereby become quickly informed of the unnecessarily long withdrawal of any piece or article. A
The card 5 is provided with a plurality of supporting devices or catches 14 for holding the articles of jewelry in display position, and it is intended that these devices or catches be varied to suit application thereto of different kinds of goods; but under all conditions the.
said card stands out clear of the major portion of the front face of the back l by reason of the cut-out construction set forth to facili- 4tate the insertion or attachment and With- IOG and is thereby also reinforced sufficiently to sustain considerable weight, andthe material best adapted for this use is Celluloid, though other substances can be adopted at will.
When the device is closed, the goods therein are prevented from becoming tarnished or soiled and the annoyance incident to the practice of kleptomaniacs is obviated, and
the display of goods in this manner will bey When stored or both attractive and artistic. packed in bulk, the trays will occupy very little space, and the cost of manufacture -is comparatively small. card advertising matter may be applied, and in this connection the improved device can be profitably 'utilized for introducing a particular kind of goods, which may be `thereby caused to have adistinctive display.
a spring-catch l5 is used, and for the p`l`lrpose of supporting small articles of jewelrysuch as link cuff-buttons, pins, and the like-- the card is shown as formed with outstanding catches in the form of tongues 16, which are free at one end and interxnediately bent. These tongues are cut from the material of the card and arranged in concentric circular alinement, and when the buttons 'or other small jewelry are disposed therein present an ornamental appearance.
The rim 8 is `removable from the back 1, and to arrive at this operation conveniently for the purpose of substitutingr one card for another said rim has a series of flat metal strips 1G, secured thereto, which extend over In the center of the` Tohold the cover closed on the rim Varound the back,
the periphery of the back and `have removable fastenings 17, extendingthrough the` same, as clearly shown by Fig. 3.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new isr i 1. In a display-tray of the character set forth, the combination of a back recessed at the front, to provide asurrounding inwardly-Y beveled shoulder', a supporting device having its peripheral edge rested on `the said shoulder and provided with a pluralityof holders in `the `body thereof, 'a surrounding rim on the back to hold the supporting device in place,
and a frame movably attached to the lower portion of said rim and having a transparent plate, the back also having a prop to hold the entire device in elevated position.
2. In a display-tray of the character set forth, the combination of a back, a card applied 'thereftoand provided with a plurality 'df catches, a' surrounding rim on 'the back to hold the card in place, and an annular or ring frame hinged to the lower portion of the rim and having a transparent plate to expose the card and `the devices carried thereby, the
`back being provided with a prop to hold the entire device in `elevated position.
In testimony that we claim the foregoing as `our'own we havehereto affixed our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
