LABEL-CASE.
Specification of Letters Patenz.
Patented Dec. 18, 1906. v
Application filed April 11, 1906. Serial No. 311.161.
To all whom, it IN/(by concern.-
Be it known that we, ISAAC G. HUsToN and CLIFFORD R. BURNETTE, citizens of the United States, residing at Mount Blanchard, in the county of Hancock and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Label-Case, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to label-holders and its object is to provide a compact device of this character which will hold a large number of different labels where they can be quickly located and conveniently removed.
WVith the above and other objects in view the invention consists of a casing in which are disposed tiers of receptacles each of which is adapted to hold a number of labels, and the front wall thereof is so constructed and arranged that the labels can be readily removed from each receptacle one at a time and without disturbing the remaining labels.
The invention also consists of a drawer located in the bottom of the casing for holding quantities of labels adapted to replenish the receptacles after they have been emptied.
The invention also consists of certain other novel features of construction and combinations of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described, and pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings is shown the preferred form of the invention.
In said drawings, Figure 1 isa plan view showing the drawer open, portions of the cover and walls of the compartments being broken away; and Fig. 2 is a transverse section through the closed device, labels being shown in one compartment.
.Referring to the figures by numerals of reference, 1 is a casing having a cross-strip 2 connecting the front edges of the sides thereof at a point above the bottom. Slidably mounted on the bottom of the casing is a drawer 3, the front of which is adapted to close the space between the bottom and the cross-strip and has one or more handles 4, whereby it may be readily moved into opened or closed position. Within the drawer is arranged one or more receptacles 5, which are formed by parallel partitions 6, the rear ends of said partitions being connected by an inclined back strip 7, which extends from one side to the other of the drawer.
The front wall 8 of each receptacle is inclined so as to overhang the bottom of the drawer, and a slot 9 extends vertically along the center of the front wall of each receptacle and is of suflicient width to permit the insertion of the end of the finger thereinto. Each receptacle 5 is of suflicient size to permit a label to rest flat therein, and a large number of labels may be piled in each receptacle. As the front and rear walls of the receptacle are inclined and parallel, the front ends of the piled labels will of course be held out of alinement and the end of the top label will project a very short distance beyond the end of the next succeeding label.
Disposed within the casing 1 between the sides are shelves 10 arranged in. tiers, and each shelf has partitions 11 thereon connected at their rear ends by a back strip 12, the space between the partitions constituting compartments for the reception of labels. The front ends of the compartments are provided with walls 13, which are slotted throughout their height, and the front walls of the upper tiers overhang the adjoining tier therebelow, so that several tiers of shelves can be disposed in a very compact space. A cover 14 is hinged to the cross strip and is adapted to extend over the front of the tiers of shelves and compartments so as to close the casing.
Labels are adapted to be placed in the various compartments with the printed matter up, and different kinds of labels may be placed in the different compartments. As all of the labels are disposed within a small space, a desired one can be readily located, and by placing a finger on the top label in the proper compartment pulling forward thereon said label will slide upward on the inclined front wall of the compartment in position where it can be conveniently grasped within the slot in the front wall. A small weight 15 is preferably located in each compartment for the purpose of preventing the labels from curling or becoming displaced but these weights will not interfere with the withdrawal of the labels in the manner described. Labels are adapted to be removed from the compartments on the shelves whenever it is desired to affix them upon a receptacle, and when any one compartment becomes emptied the same can be filled by removing labels from one of the compartments in the drawer.
What is claimed is- A label-holder comprising a casing, parallel series of label-receptacles arranged in tiers Within the casing, the bottom of each tier or receptacle being disposed in rear of the top of the next lowest tier, the front walls of said receptacles being inclined forward and upward and slotted from the top to the bottom of the receptacles, said slots and the upper ends of the receptacles adapted to receive the fingers of the user, a drawer mounted below the tiers of receptacles, label-receptacles
