ALFRED N. VARREN, OF TOLEDO, OHIO.
CARTON SPICE-CABINET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent. N o. 691,990, dated January 28, 1902. Application filed January 3, 1901. Serial NO- 42.02 (NO model-l To all whoiit it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALFRED N. WARREN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and 4useful Improvements in Carton Spice-Cabinets; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will .enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates toA improvements in cabinets for containing and delivering cartons of spices, pepper, and the like of different sizes and provided with means for retaining the cartons in different compartments and withdrawing oneY carton at a time from a compartment, the cabinet to be placed in a suitable placein a store and employed as a convenient means of keeping and handling the goods and also serving as an advertising means for the manufacturer of the goods.
The invention consists in certain novel constructions, combinations, and `arrangements of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.
Inthe accompanying drawings, Figure lis a perspective View of a cabinet constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken through one of the compartments and showing the construction and arrangement of the operatin g mechanism.
1 in the drawings represents the casing of the cabinet, which is provided with a series of vertically-arranged compartments 2,a horizontal base 3, which is preferably extended to form a shelf 4, a series of rearwardly-projecting extensions or housings 5 for the ac-V commodation of the ejectors 6 when the latter are in a retracted or withdrawn condition,
and a series of apertures or openings rat the lower ends of the compartments 2 for the withdrawal of the cartons from the respective compartments.
The cabinet may be of any suitable dimensions, two or two and a half feet high by four feet long, and may be constructed of any suitable material, but preferably light wood and provided with any suitable number of compartments, and all the compartments maybe of the same dimensions; but the apertures 77 at the lower ends of the same are preferably varied, so as to admit of dierentsized cartons-aa for instance, one-ounce packages or two-ounce packages-beingwithdrawn from the respective compartments. The cabinet is also provided with a hinged cover 8, and the rear compartments 5 are also preferably 'provided with hinged covers 9. The hinged cover S prevents the dust from getting into the cabinet andadmits of the insertion `of new packages into the cabinet. The hinged covers 9 facilitate the insertion and removal of the ejector 6 into position within the cabinet and its removal for repairs. The front of the case may be provided with glass, if desired, to exclude dust, the lower front ends of the compartments of course being left open for the forcing out of the packages by the ejectors 6 onto the shelf 4.
For holding the packages 10 within the compartment and yet admit of their being seen from the outside and to disclose how many packages are still in each compartment each wall 11 of the cabinet has attached to its front edge a vertically-arranged strip 12, extending on opposite sides of each wall or partition 11, with the exception of the end walls or partitions, in which case the strip extends only in one direction.
The ejector 6 is made of slightly less height than the height of a package to be removed, so that only one package will be engaged at a time and the ejector will be free to be moved back and forth. A recess 14 is provided in the rear of the ejector, in which recess the spring 13 is located and connected by one of its ends to said ejector, while its other end is connected to the wall16 of the cabinet, which is therear vert-ical wall of the compartment 17. By this construction and arrangement the spring can be accommodated within the aperture 14 when the ejector 6 is in its returned condition and will also serve to hold the ejector in said condition until it is drawn forward by the operating-rod 18, connected to said ejector, and automaticallywreturn the ejector into the chamber or compartment 17 as soon as the hand of the operator is removed frorn the rod 18. The bottom or iioor 3 of the cabinet is provided with a series of longitudinally-extending slots 15. Within each slot an upturned projection of'an operating-rod 18 works, the said upturned pro- ICO jection being attached to the under side of the ejector 6, the rods being held iny position and guided in their movements by passing through apertures provided in the cabinet, as clearly shown in the drawings. The provision of the shelf 4 forms a receptacle for retaining a package or packages as they are Withdrawn from the cabinet, and thus avoids any liability of the packages accidentally falling on the iioor or requiring the operator to immediately withdraw a package as soon as it is ejected from the cabinet. It will also be observed that with my construction and arrangement the ejectors are never drawn outside of the cabinet when being operated, but are always contained within the cabinet, and it will further be observed that the ejectors are made of such asize and so located as to always push out a single package at a time and that as the ejectors are automatically returned to the compartments 17 other packages are automatically lowered to positions in front of the ejectors.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is-
A cabinet for containing and delivering cartons, comprising a vertical housing and a rearwardly-projecting horizontal housing, said housings having compartments formed in them which are open at the top, hinged covers for closing both of the said housings, the compartments of thehorizont-al housing opening into the lower ends of the compartments in the vertical housing, and the vertical housings having outlet-openings at their lower ends, a series of ejectors arranged in the compartments of the horizontal housing, a rod for pulling each ejector forwardly into the lowerjend of the vertical compartments, and springs connecting the ejectors with the rear Wall of the horizontal housing for automatically returning the ejectors in the said housing aftera carton has been forced out of one of the vertical compartments, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aflx my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ALFRED N. VARREN.
