WARREN S. YELL, OF WARTRAGE, TENNESSEE.
PHONOG-RAPH-RECORD CASE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 27, 1908.
Application filed May 2, 1908. Serial No. 430,624.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WARREN S. YELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at lVartrace, in the county of Bedford and State of Tennessee, have invented new and useful Improvements in Phonograph-Record Cases, of which the following is a speciiication.
rlhis invention relates to phonograph record cases the object in view being to provide a simple, practical and economical holder for the purpose specied embodying any desired number of individual compartments or receptacles 'for the phonograph records, including selfclosing shutters, one for each compartment, whereby the records are securely retained in their respective coinpartn'ients and yet rendered easy of access.
lith the above general object in view the ii'iventioli. consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts herein fully described, illustrated and claimed.
ln the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a phonograph record case embodying the present invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section through the same. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of one of the label holders.
For the sake of economy and in order to impart the necessary strength, durability and rigidity to the case, the holder is preferably constructed in the main out of wire of suitable gage. ln the make-up of the case l employ a series of rectangular frames each embodying top and bottom bars 1 and 2 respectively and end bars 3. These rectangular frames are provided with rounded corners as shown at i and the corresponding corners of all of said frames are securely connected together and relatively braced by means of corner stringers 5 each preferably concave-convex shape in cross section clearly shown in Fig. 1, said stringers being soldered, brazed, welded or otherwise permanently connected to the said rectangular frames, all of the frames being thus held in perfect alinement. In addition to the bars above described, each of said rectangular frames is provided with vertical and horizontal intersecting cross bars 6 and 7 respectively which divide each of said frames into a corresponding number of meshes to form the individual compartments above referred to, it being understood that the vertical and horizontal cross bars of all of the frames lie in corresponding planes so that each record-holding compartment thus comprises a series of top and bottom bars and a vertical side bars. The vertical bars 6 of the rear frame are set out of alinementl with the bars 6 of the frames in front thereof so that the bars 6 form back stops to prevent the records from slipping out of the backs of the compartments, the arrangement referred to being clearly indicated in Fig. 1..
At the front of each compartment there is arranged a self-closing shutter which is composed of a suitable length of spring wire bent into substantially U shape and having the opposite upper end thereof coiled one or more times around the top bar of the front frame as shown at 8 thereby forming shutter-closing springs, the extremities 9 of which are caught behind the vertical bars of the front frames as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The tension of the springs 8 is sutiicient to hold the shutters closed with the lower ends 10 thereof resting against the next adjacent or lower horizontal bar of the front frame as is clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The arrangement described permits the shutter to be easily raised by the finger to allow the record to be removed from the case or replaced therein.
To each of the shutters there is applied one or more label holders one of which is illustrated in detail in Fig. 3. It is preferred to mount two of such label holders 11 and 12 on each shutter, one to contain the name of the record and the other to contain the number referring to the record appropriated to the respective compartment guarded by the shutter. Each label holder is shown as formed out of a strip of sheet metal with the opposite extremities thereof recurved as shown at 18 and bent around the side portions of the shutter while the holder is provided along its longitudinal edges with inturned flanges 14k forming retainers for a suitable label which may be slipped beneath the 'flanges 14 and held frictionally thereby.
It will be understood that the record-holding case above described may be made in any desired size embodying any desired number of compartments and that the compartments may be varied in size to suit the dimensions of the records to be placed therein.
Having described the invention, l claim,
1. A phonograph record-holding case comprising a series of rectangular frames embodying intermediate cross bars intersecting each other at right angles, corner stringers connecting said frames, and self-closing shutters mounted on one of the `outside frames controlling the entrance to the record-holding compartments formed by said frames and the intersecting cross bars thereof, stibstantially s described.
2. A phonograph record-holding case einbodying a plurality of record-holding conipartments, in combination With a plurality' of shutters one for eachcompartment, each shutter consisting of a piece of spring Wire bent into substantially -U shape and having the ends thereof' coiled vto forni' shutter-clos ing springs, one or more label holders for each :slni'tter7 each label holder consisting of a strip' of sheet metal having the opposite ends thereof connected to the opposite portions of the shutters and provided with label retaining flanges, substantiallyas described.
In testimony whereof I aliX my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
