CASE FOR THE RECEPTION AND DISPLAY OF SALABLE ARTICLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 721,874, dated March 3, 1903. Application filed December 16,1902. $eria1No 135,375. (No model.)
borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State 5 of New York, have invented an Improvement in Cases for the Reception and Display of Salable Articles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a case for the reception and display of salable articles- -such as pens, leads, and other small articles of merchandise-in stores and upon counters, with the object of holding such articles in series of receptacles in rows and indicating the kind and grade or number of the same, storing the surplus stock, and when the goods are not displayed covering to prevent the same becoming shop-worn, &c. I provide a boxbody and a cover of about equal depth. The body is divided by a transverse partition, and
a lid hinged thereto along one edge extends over an approximate half of the body from the edge that is hinged to the transverse partition. The other part ofthe body is provided wit-h horizontal partitions that are par- I allel to each other and parallel to the bottom of the body, each partition having series of alining apertures in rows for tubular metal receptacles to be placed therein in a vertical position. These receptacles carry the goods to be sold, and each has a grade-number on the cover, and the rows extend from'the side of the body to the transverse partition. Upon the lid and in line with the respective rows of receptacles are illustrations of the articles in the tubular metal receptaclesand numbers which correspond with the grade-numbers on said receptacles. The portion of the body beneath the hinged lid is employed for surplus stock. a
In the drawings, Figure 1 represents by a plan view the box-body complete withoutthe cover. Fig. 2 is a cross-section through the same at about the center, and Fig. 3 isa side elevation representing the box-body and cover in the relation occupied by the parts for display. r s V The box-body ais of substantially rectangular form, as is also the cover b, and these parts for convenience oftheir positions are approximately of the same depth; These parts are preferably formed of cardboard surfaced with paper in the usual manner of making this class of goods. There is a transverse partition a dividing the box-body into substantially equal parts and a lid (1 connected bya hinge 2 to one edge of the body, said lid extending from said edge across and over one portion of the body to the transverse partition 0 and forming beneath said lid and within the walls of the body and the partition 0 a receptacle in which may be placed boxes h of surplus stock. In the other portion of the body I provide horizontal partitions of, the one superimposed upon the other and the partitions parallel to one another and parallel to the bottom of the box. These partitions are each provided with a series of apertures in rows, the respective apertures of the partitions alining. I have shown these partitions as provided with overturned edge portions which not only hold the partitions frictionally between the sides of the box and the transverse partition 0, but determine the distance of the partitions from one another and from thebottom of the box.
I provide tubular metal receptacles g, which for a compact structure are advantageously of the height of the box-body and of slightly less diameter than the diameter of the apertures in the partitions 6 These tubular metal receptacles are preferably of a size to hold a predetermined quantity of such small articles of merchandise as pens, leads, colored crayons, &c., and I prefer to place a grade-number or indicating-mark upon the covers of these tubular metal receptacles indicative of the size or other characteristics of the goods contained therein, and I place upon which" said forms and sizes are designated,
and upon the tops of the receptacles in the rows are placed corresponding grade-numbers.
As an illustration of the use of this device a dozen of these pens may be placed in each tubular metal receptacle. When a customer purchases a dozen pens, one of these receptacles is removed and the same with the pens are delivered as an article sold. When any particular row of pens of a given grade is exhausted, the stock is replenished from the boxes h beneath the lid d, where'the surplus stock is stored.
I do not limit myself to employing these receptacles for pens or to illustrating pens upon the lid (1, as other small articles of merchandise, such as hereinbefore stated, may be employed, and, in fact, receptacles of this description may be made up for dilferent articles, all of the parts being the same except the goods sold and the illustrations of the goods on the lid (1.
When the goods are simply on exhibition or on exhibition and sale, the box-body a is preferably placed in the inverted cover b in the position shown in Fig. 3, in which the cover I) occupies a horizontal position and the box-body a an inclined position, the bottom of the box at one edge resting upon the upper edge of the cover, thereby giving to the boxbody an inclined position for the better display of the goods. Ordinarily the cover I) will pass entirely over and down upon the boxbody a for storage and transportation.
I claim as my invention- 1. As a new article of manufacture, a case for the reception and display of small articles of merchandise to be sold, comprising a boxbody and cover, the body being divided by a transverse partition and at one side provided with a lid and at the other side provided with a series of receptacles for small articles of merchandise to be sold and suitable supports for the same and with illustrations or other designations upon the lid of the body.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a case for the reception and display of salable articles, comprising a boxbody and a cover adapted to fit over the same and substantially equal in depth, said box-body being divided about centrally by a transverse partition, a narrow lid hinged along one edge to the edge of the box-body and extending across to the transverse partition and forming in this portion of the box-body a receptacle for the storage of surplus stock, horizontal partitions in the other portion of the box-body parallel to one another and to the bottom of the box-body and superposed one upon the other and having series of alining apertures in rows and tubular metal receptacles placed in said apertures for the small articles of merchandise to be sold.
3. As a new article of merchandise, a case for the reception and display of salable articles,comprisingabox-body and a cover adapted to fit over the same and substantially equal in depth, said box-body being divided about centrally by a transverse partition, a narrow lid hinged along one edge to the edge of the box-body and extending across to the transverse partition and forming in this portion of the box-body a receptacle for the storage of surplus stock, horizontal partitions in the other portion of the box-body parallel to one another and to the bottom of the box-body and superposed one upon the other and having series of alining apertures in rows and tubular metal receptacles placed in said apertures for the small articles of merchandise, and gradenumbers or indicating devices upon the covers of the tubular metal receptacles, and illustrations in line with the rows upon the lid of the box-body indicating the goods in the receptacles and the character thereof and their grade-number.
Signed by me this 12th day of December, 1902.
