eHow-CASE.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 716,410, dated December 23, 1902. n Application led August 8, 1901. Serial No. `71.322I (No model.)
.To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ALBERT D. GUIBERT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Allegheny, in the count-y of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Show-Gases, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved show-case. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view on the line II II of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the shelf or slide partially extended. Figs. 4 and 5 are detail views of portions of the slide, hinged door, and the operating connection thereto in closed and opening positions, respectively. Fig. 6 is a hori-` zontal sectional view, indicated by the line VI VI of Fig. 3. Fig. 7 is a detail view, partly in section, showing the sliding connection of the operating-pitman on one side of the hinged door. Fig. Sis a detail view, partially in section, of the slide-operating spring.
My invention relates to the class of showcases; and it consists of a case adapted for the purpose of displaying and vending small articles-such as cigars,druggists Sundries, dac-'- with means for opening the case and extending a portion of the structure adapted to support the contents.
The object of the invention is to so place the contents of the case before the purchaser that he may make his own selection without disturbing any of the boxes in the case, as is the present practice, by removing several such boxes or articles through doors at the back of the case for the purpose of placing them before the customer.
Referring now to the drawings, 2 is the main body portion of the show-case, in the interior of which are mounted one or more sliding shelves or tables 3, upon which the goods are supported and displayed.
The top of the case and also the ends are pro vided with the usual glass panels 4, the back having movable doors 5,while in the front are provided one or more movable doors 6,which may be hinged or suitably mounted in the frame. The upper one of such doors is preferably hinged and so arranged as to be operated with the sliding shelf to open and close in conformity with its outward and inner movement. The hinge 7 for the upper door is preferably a spring-hinge, so as. to counteract the weight of the door,and the slide 3 is connected with the door by means of pitmen 8, pivoted to each end of the slide or shelf at 9, the pitmen terminating in inwardly-turned heads 10, mounted in slots 11, in which they have a sliding engagement, the inner groove of the slot being enlarged to receive the heads and to retain them against disengagement. By this construction when the slide 3 is forced outwardly the upper door 6 will be thrown down upon its hinges to a level position, as shown in Fig. 3, the shelf 3 being free to move tothe desired extent. Movement is imparted to the shelf by means of rod l2,terminating in a handle 13, and pivotally connected at 14, so that 'when the shelf is drawn backward, as shown in Fig. 2, the rod may be dropped vertically out of the way. When the shelf is drawn back, the head l0 bears against the inner end of the slot, as at 15, assisting in the raising action of the door, which will close up to the position shown in Figs.2 ande when the shelf is clear back.
For the purpose of assisting the shelf 3 outwardly I have provided a coiled spring mounted in a case 16, secured in the interior of the framework, provided with a winding tensionstrip 17, secured to the under side of the slide at 18, which spring constantly exerts an outward pulling pressure upon the slide. The slide is mounted upon rollers or other bearings in suitable guideways, so asto facilitate its movement. A water-pan 19 may be 1ocated at any convenient position for the purpose of moistening the air. The lower portion of the case may be divided into various compartments, as 2O and 21, for the purpose of displaying and storing stock.
The construction and operation of the showcase will be readily understood from the foregoing description, while the advantages of such a case will be apparent to all those accustomed to the use of this class of store furniture. While it is particularly designed for the purpose of holding and storing cigars, cigarettes, and tobacco, it is obvious that it is well adapted to other uses to which it may be put.
Various changes and modifications in the IOO design, proportions, or details of construction may be made by the skilled mechanic without departing from my invention, and I do not desire to be limited to the exact construction shown and described, but to include all such changes within the scope of the following claims.
What I claim is- 1. A show-case provided with an inner horizontal sliding shelf adapted to support and display goods, a front door, means connected with the shelf and door for moving the door to open the case, and independent means at the back of the case for horizontally projecting the sliding shelf outwardly through the door-opening and for withdrawing the sliding shelf and closing the door, substantially as set forth.
2. A show-case provided with a lower stationary display-compartment, an upper compartment, an outwardly-traveling horizontal slide therein, a door adapted to be lowered out of the way, means connected with the shelf and door for moving the door to open the case, and independent means at the back of the oase for horizontally projecting the sliding shelf outwardly through the door-opening, and for withdrawing the sliding shelf and closing the door, substantially as set forth.
3. A show-case provided with a sliding display-shelf, a spring for drawing the shelf forward, a movable front, a connection between the shelf and front, and means for actuating the slide and front, substantially as set forth.
4. A show-case provided with a sliding display-shelf, a spring for drawing the shelf forward, a hinged front partition, pitmen connected with the slide and with the partition, and a jointed operating rod or handle, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ALBERT D. GUIBERT. Witnesses:
