Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 21, 1908.

Application filed May 22, 1907. Serial No. 375,156.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN ARTHUR CHIL- sTRoM, of Winthrop, in the county of Sibley and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cabinets for Laces, Trimmings, &c.; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in cabinets for laces, trimmings or embroideries, the obj ect of the invention being to so.

construct such a cabinet that it shall be sectional and adapted to contain allsizes of stock.

A further object is to provide a cabinet of the character above stated in which the stock can be arranged in regular order; so that it can be readily adapted for stock of various sizes and so Vthat the goods can be readily placed therein and easily removed therefrom.

A further object is to produce a cabinet for laces, &c., which shall be simple in construction, cheap to manufacture, and neat 1n appearance.

With these objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts as hereinafter set forth and pointed out in the claims. i

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cabinet showing an embodiment of my improvements; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through two sections of the cabinet; Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view through one drawer; Figs. 4 and 5 are fragmentary views illustrating the guideways 5 and 7 Fig. 6 is a perspective view of one of the cores or tins on which the goods is wound, and Fig. 7 is a sectional view of said core or tin.

1 represents a cabinet, comprising several sections 2, placed one upon another and each containing a drawer 3 which can be -withdrawn from either side of the cabinet,

and each end of each drawer is provided with a glass panel 4, through which the goods can be viewed. Each drawer is provided interiorly along its respective sides with a number of guide-ways 5 for the rece tion of the cores or tins (hereinafter descri ed) on which the goods is wound. These guideways 5 may be conveniently made by means of saw kerfs in the lower thickened portions of the sides of the drawer. Each 4drawer may be divided into any desired number of compartments by means of longitudinally disposed movable partitions 6, and each partition may be conveniently made of wood and provided in each face with a series of transverse saw-kerfs, which when the partition is in place will be disposed vertically and constitute guide-ways 7 to aline with the guide-ways 5 in the side of the drawer or with similar guide-ways 7 in another partition. contain a single row of laces or it maybe divided by means of the partitions to contain two, three or four rows. The drawers may be made of any desired length, but I prefer to make them ofy such size that they will accommodate about twenty-three pieces of goods in a row.

The cores 8 on which the goods are wound are preferably made of sheet metal, such as tin, and readily enter the saw-kerf guideways in the sides of the. drawer and the partitions. Each core or tin is provided at its respective ends with depending lugs 9 which rest upon the bottom of the drawer, and between these lugs, the metal of the core is turned upon itself as shown at 9a to protect the lace wound on the core. The upper edge of the core is provided at each end thereof, with integral extensions which are bent into triangular form and constitute holders 10 for cards 12 of celluloid or other material, and these cards are held in place by means of clips or covers 13 having holes 14 through which data on said cards can be viewed. On one of the cards 12 the price of the goods may be written and the other card may have written or printed thereon, the number of the piece of goods on the core. These numbers will be made to correspond with those in a sample book so that a clerk in making a sale to a purchaser from the sample book, can readily and quickly locate the piece desired in the cabinet.

The metal of the core between the holders 10 is bent upon itself as shown at 15 to protect the tap on the core.

Slight changes might be made in the details of construction of my invention and also in the kind of material which may be Thus a drawer may be arranged to employed without delparting from the spirit of the invention or lmiting its sco e, and hence l do not wish to restrict myse f to the precise details of construction nor to any particular kind of material.

Having fully described my invention what l claim as new and desire to secure byLetters- Patent, is-

l. Means for holding laces and the like, comprising a core piece provided with a labe holder forming a permanent part thereof, said label holder disposed above the upper edge of the core piece and at an angle to the side faces thereof, and means for supporting the core piece in position to expose the label holder.

2. Means for holding laces andthe like, com rising a flat core piece provided with two label holders to receive labels containing data indicating the price of the goods and the number of the piece of goods on the core, said label holders being disposed parallel with the upper edge of the core and at right angles to the sides of the core, and means for su porting said core in position to exposel both abels.

3. Means for holding laces and the like, comprising a sheet metal core piece, having the metal bent upon itself at its upper and lower edges, and having portions projecting above and below the top and bottom edges respectively, at the ends of the core iece.

4. Means for holding laces and t e like, comprising a -flat core piece, iiXed label holders projecting above the upper edge of the core piece at respective ends thereof, said label holders being disposed parallel with said upper edge of the core and at right angles to the sides of the latter, and lugs projecting downwardly from the lower edge of 40 the core vpiece at respective ends thereof.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
