DISPLAY-BOX.
Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed 27, 1906. Serial No. 314,078.
Patented Aug. 25, 1908.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY G. Knox, a citizen of the United States, residing at-Peoria. in the county of Peoria and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Im-' provem'ents in Display-Boxes; and I do herey declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which ertains to make and use the same. his invention relates to a display box for bakery oods .and the like wherein a sign is designate the kind of goods contained therein to ether with a transparent plate through W ich the goods may be seen and inspected.
My invention relates to certain details of ita . construction in which simplicity of arrange ment is taken into account without losing sight 'of certain requisites as'regards the fixityof the removable plates which cover the openings of said box.
In the appended drawing forming part of this application Figure 1 is a perspective view of the display box. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of aportion of the interior of the box showing my invention. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the box front. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a portion of ocket or ig. 5 is a guide for holding a sign plate. vertical section of the ox showing a portion of the front wherein a slightly modified form ofspring is used for holding 111 place a transparent plate. Fig. 6 is a vertical section of thefront of the box shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 7 is a view showing a modified form of spring for holding'the said transparent plate.
The box is indicated by the letter A which is of rectangular form and provided with the usual hinged cover or lid B. The front of the box.is provided with an u per and a lower openin C and D respective y, the former for indicatlng the class of goods by means of a sign or goods-indicating late E positioned therebetween, the latter eing covered by a glass-plate F as in similar boxes having two set as shown in Fig. 4, and soldered or otherwise attached to said front just behind the window or openi'n C at the top. As shown in Figs. 3 and 4 t e lower edge of the guide ,referred to which rests u the box between the sai the finger or'thumb is placed G is bent rearward and downward as shown at H and then returned u ward and forward upon itself, the resulting orizontal projecting ed e J terminating as shown substantially ush with the front wall of the box and upon which the sign-plate E is supported and from which it can be removed only by first lifting the lid B.
At each front corner of the bottom of the I box .below the line of the opening D 1s soldered or otherwise attached the end of a Wire loop K substantially in the form of. an'inverted U. In Fig. 2 this loop, which is preferably of moderately stiff spring wire, is provided with two upward bends L which extend upward behind the depending lip H of the guide G. Between said upward bonds is a downward bend M also extending outward as at N inFig. 3 to provide a fingeriece. The extremities of the loop K are ormed'with the off-sets D by which the vertical portions of the ,wire are held away from the front of the box as to create a space between said vertical portion and said front as shown in Figs. 3 and '6. Within the space thus leftis inserted the glass plate F already on the bottom of off-set portions 0 of the wire. It is now to be understood that the top loops or bends L of the loop-member K normally rests behind the dependin lip H of the hide G orbetween it and the oxfront, an thereby the glass-plate is held so that it cannot be pushed inward at its top by pressure thereagainst from the outside and since the extremities of the loop K are secured to thebox-front it is quite evident that the glass is also immovable at its bottom edge. Said glass can only be moved after springing the loop K by reaching inside the box and s ringin that member in such a way as to ower t e portions L'thereof sufficie'ntly to permit them to pass forward beneath the said lip H described. To do this u on the outwardly extending finger-piece byand a pressure downward thereon will shorten the height of the member as shown in dotted lines. Then a pressure on the glass from the outside will cause the same to move inward at the top edge beyond the lip H and the thumb and finger can then gras it and withdraw it from the box, the resi ienc of the wire carrying that member against t e lip H.
each in place.
In replacing the glass the wire is drawn away removal of the pressure allows the wire to regain its norm expanded form, the lip H again holding it and the glass as already de scribed. In my box the two plates are entirely independent of one another, neither being dependent upon the other for assistance there being separate means for holding The construction is therefore quite simple and of low cost. v
' 'Fi s. 5 and -6 show a modified form of the mem er K in which there is a central bend a to engage the lip H which may be de ressed to release it as in the other form. n this *formthe glass is rested upon the ofi-sets b of the wire as shown. In Fig. 7 is another form of the spring member, the depending loop 'c of which allows the wire to readily be sprung for the purposes hereinbefore described. I have exaggerated the amount of extenf sion of the lower projection of the guide G in order to make the idea of said extension understood and it is, therefore, to be made much smaller in pro ortion tothe other parts. In addition to this it is the desire to'make it clearly known that the various members "entering into the construction of my inven -'tion may be changed at. will without depart- 111%f1'0111'l the spirit of said invention.
