OFFICE.
SAMUEL GOLDBERG, OF NEW YORK, N. Y. MERCHANDISE-EXHIBITOR,
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL GOLDBERG, a
citizen of the United States of America, and
a resident of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mer-' chandise-Exhibitors, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a device intended to be hung on the wall for the purpose of successively bringing into view cards on which may be pictures, printed matter, or other art esigns.
The object of the invention is to provide an improved construction of a picture exhibitor that will project very little from the wall of the room when not in use, that will occupy only a little wall space, that may be closed I like a book, and that may be easily manipulated for lookin at a series of pictures, laces, or similar merchandise.
The general nature of the or anization comprises a plurality of superpose su porting frames for the objects, an additional frame serving as a base, two hinges, whose stationary butts are held by said base, and Whose pintles extend along the edges ofthe central frames inthe closed condition of the device; and rotary hinge butts, successively longer and longer in pairs, and attached at their-ends alternately to the frames from the pintles outward in both directions.
Figure 1 is a perspective elevation of the complete device, partly open. Fig.2 is a View from the same direction of the same device wholly closed. Fig. 3 is a perspective elevation of one of the hinges by itself. Fig. 4 is a cross section intended primarily to illustrate the preferred position of the frames when the device hangs on the wall and not in use, the phase seen in Fig. 2 being the condition of the devicefor carrying or packing. Some of the minor details are omitted in Fig. 4 as they are more clearly apparent in Figs. 1 and 2. Remarks similar to those regarding Fig. 4 apply to Fig. 5 which, in addition, includes a modification. Fig. 6 is a detail view of the hook and attachments for hold ing the sections of the base frame extended. The base is indicated at 1 and consists of a rectangular wooden frame 2, covered with cloth 3. The other frames 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 1 1 have a similar construction, are preferably of the same size as each other, and, in the normal condition, as seen in Fig. 2, are evenly Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed Decernber29, 1906. Serial No. 350,031. g
construction of the hinges I secure Patented June 18, 1907.
superposedupon each other, forming a parallelopipedon.
By means of draftsmans tacks, objects may be attached on both sides of each frame; or the same maybe fastened .to the cloth by means of any convenient clamping or safety pins without entering thewood of the frames. I provide a pair of hinges, each of which has two fixed butts 12 and 12 respectively, at-
tached to the'protruding portion 13 of the base 1, which is larger than any one of the other frames. The pintles 14 and 15 of the hinges have their extended axes coincident and lie longitudinally of the edges of the central frames, and contiguous thereto.
Upon the pintle 14 is a series of rotary butts 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23, successively in pairs longer and longer, and, in the order named, alternately fastened to the frames outwardly from the pintle 14. A similar construction is apparent for the other hinge. More particularly, the frame 8, nearest to the pintle on one side is supported by one of the two shortest rotary butts 16. The nearest frame 7 on the other side of the pintle, is supported on the next succeeding rotary butt 17, and so on; a similar construction being provided also for the lower hinge. Each rotary butt consists of an L shaped strip of sheet metal, with one arm of the L attached to the side of a frame, while the end of the other arm is bent to loosely encircle the pintle. By this the important result of having the frames lie very near together and of having them evenly disposed like the leaves of a book when closed. By having the pintles centrally arranged as described, half of the number of the frames may remain evenly superposed on the base 1, while the otherhalf contiguously, as shown in Fig. 4, so as not to occupy much of the space measured perpen dicularly from the wall.
The operation consists simply in manually turning the'frames like the leaves of a book for bringing the pictures successively into view. l
The invention maybe modified without departing from the spirit'thereof, forexample as shown in Figs..5 and 6 the base is made arger by means of frames 1 and 1*. These frames 1 and 1 are held rigidly together with their edges in juxtaposition by means of a hook 24, pivoted at 25 and hooking a pin 26. In this case one of the fixed butts 28 of maybe evenly superposed IIO . each hinge is attached to the frame 1, the
cover or-last frame of the series, the frame'l being the first of the series.
I claim as my invention:
nation of a plurality of equally sized rectangular frames, evenly disposed to forma iparallelopipedon, an additional andlarger frame forminga base for :the other framesiand lprov truding to one side thereof, a pairofhinges the fixed butts of each of said hinges being fastened to the protruding portion of said base,-and having such ilength that the pintles of each of said hinges have their "extended axes coinciding "with each other, and lying longitudinally of the edges of the central frames, each hinge having L shaped rotaryv butts of difierent lengths, the vertical faces of which are alternatelyfastened to the edges 0f the frames located successively farther and farther :fromsaid ,pintleszand each frame being attached to one rotary butt of each hinge.
2. In a merchandise exhibitor, the combination of a base and a plurality of superposed supporting frames, a pair of hinges, fixed butts for each of said hinges being attached to the base, the pintles of each of said hinges E lying longitudinally of the edges of one of the 1. In a merchandise eXhibitor,'thecombi-;
frames, rotary butts for each of said hinges and each frame being attached to one rotary butt of each hinge, the rotary butts having different lengths for attachmentto the frames locatedfarther and farther from said pintles,
:and each rotary butt consisting of an L- shaped piece of sheet metal the vertical face of which is fastened to the edge of a frame,
and having one endthereof bent around one of said pintles.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
