LAWRENCE ABRAHAM, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
PACKING-TAB LE Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 26, 1908.
Application filed March 21, 1908. Serial No. 422,4;51.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LAWRENCE ABRAHAM, a citizen of-the United States, and a resident of the borough of Brooklyn, county of Kings, city and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Packing-Tables.
My invention relates to packing tables such as are used in large department stores and has for its object to so construct tables of this description that articles which have been sold are wrapped and passed to the delivery department in the order in which they have been purchased.
With my improvement packages which have been sold first are sent out with the early deliveries and are not at the bottom of the heap of later sales and thus sent out last as is at present the case.
My invention will be fully described hereinafter and the features of novelty will be pointed out in the appended claim.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1. is a front view of myimproved table and Fig. 2. is a sectional view thereof on a line 22 of Fig. 1.
In the drawings A represents the top board of the table which is secured to end standard B so as to leave a free space under said top board A.
C and C are standards secured to the top board A in any suitable manner near the back edge thereof and connected by a cross bar D to form a suspending frame. The standard 0 has secured to its upper end a disk 0 bearing the designation on and the standard C has secured to it a similar disk, D having the designation ofi thereon.
E. are bags made of canvas or other suitable material and provided with eyelets E near the open end thereof. One end of hooks F is arranged to hook into these eyelets E the other end of said hooks being ada ted for engagement with the cross bar D.
is a box or rece tacle located in the space under the top bar in which the bags E are laced when not in use. A rod H is carried by brackets H which are secured to the receptacle G on which hooks F are hung when sald hooks are idle.
In using the device the articles which have been sold are carried to the person in charge of the wrapping desk, who places said article or articles in one of the bags E and then adjusts one of the hooks F in position on said bag and hangs the same on the cross bar D b near the pedestal C marked on As the neXt article is bought to the person in charge of the table, the operation is repeated and the second bag also hung on the rod D. to the left of the first hook, or, in other words, between the first hook and bag and the pedestal 0. Thus each succeeding article which is delivered to the table is placed in a bag, which bag is hung on the rod D to the left of the next preceding bag, so that the line of bags with the articles therein is gradually moved to the right in Fig. 1. or, toward the pedestal marked off in the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 1. As the person in charge has time, the bag nearest the pedestal C is removed from the bar D and the contents thereof wrapped up for delivery, after which the empty bag is placed in the receptacle G and the hook F 1s hung on the rod H for future use. With my improved table the articles which have been sold are successively wrapped and are at all times handed to the delivery department in the order in which the sales have taken place. In the event of a special delivery such article is marked in any suitable manner according to the system in use in the particular establishment and is laced in a bag which is then immediately hung on the bar at the head of the line of preceding bags. This special delivery sale is thus wrapped up as-soon as it is received by the wrapper and immediately handed to the delivery department for delivery.
With my device the line of bags moves continually toward the pedestal marked 0H, thus always leaving room near the on side of the device for new purchases. By having the hooks movable from the bar D the necessity for placing new goods in front of articles sold prior to such purchases, as would be the case if the hooks F were fixed to the bar D, is done away with. The hanging cloth bags keep individual sales absolutely free and separate from other sales and do away with the necessity for the packer to carefully read the sales slip. The old method required a heaping up of sold goods, so that the top of the heap would receive first attention and the goods which were sold first and which were at the bottom of the heap received last attention. Further it was necessary for the packer to read each sales slip very carefully and select his merchandise from the description on the slip,
this resulting very often in Wrong deliveries. By keeping the unwrapped merchandise away from the packers table and suspending same on a rod, the packer can handle only one customers purchases, that is the contents of a single bag at a time ,thus preventing mix-u s which occur with the present methods. y having separate hooks for each bag, the bags and the hooks may be kept in a separate receptacle so as to be continually available for use. By having the receptacle for containing the empty bags adjacent to the packer, the empty bags may be returned to the supply box at once, thus maintaining a steady supply of bags. The suspension of merchandise in bags rior to being packed prevents delicate artic es from being crushed, as is the case when the goods are piled in a heap. The bags also keep the merchandise from the soil and dirt of the packers table.
Various modifications may be made withsss,as1
out departing from the nature of my invention as defined in the claim.
I claim:
The combination of a packing table, a suspending frame secured to said table and eX- tending upwardly therefrom, hooks arranged to move along said frame, bags ada ted to contain articles of merchandise an to be suspended from said hooks so as to be consecutively removable, a receptacle secured to said table and adapted to contain the bags when not in use, and a bar extending lengthwise of the receptacle on which said hooks may be hung when idle.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 18th day of Mch. 1908.
