STORE OR SHOP FIXTURE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 416,980, dated December 10, 1889.

Application filed March 12, 1889- Serial No. 303,028. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MICHAEL HOFFMAN \VILSON, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Store or Shop Fixtures, of which the following is a specification.

My improvement is particularly adapted for use in barber-shops.

I will describe in detail a store or shop fixture embodying my improvement, and then point out its novel features in claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of a store or shop fixture embodyingmyimprovement. Fig. 2 is ahorizontal section thereof, taken 011 the plane of the line a a, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken on the plane of the line y y, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a Vertical section, partly broken away and showing a modification. Fig. 5 is a horizontal section taken on the plane of the line .2 Fig. l.

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures.

A designates a frame adapted to be set against a wall. This frame may be composed of wood. It is provided at intervals throughout its length with rearwardly-extending recesses B, formed, as here shown,by partitions a, extending between the front of the frame and its back or the wall. ithin these recesses are arranged receptacles C. These receptacles comprise a central hub or shaft Z) and radiallyextending partitions b. The outer edges of said partitions are, as shown, coincident with the peripheries of shelves D, which shelves are circular in foi m and are arranged in tiers. As here shown, said shelvesguard-rail (1 tends to prevent the articles from being moved accidentally from said recesses. Each of the receptacles is journaled at top and bottom in suitable bearings arranged concentric therewith, in such manner that the receptacles can be readily rotated in order to bring any of the articles contained thereon into a position for removal, or to bring any of the recesses in the receptacle into a position for inserting an article. It will be observed that each of the receptacles extends into one of the recesses B, formed in the frame A; in fact, at all times nearly onehalf of the receptacles are within said recesses B. The portion within the recesses is hidden from view by the frame. Between the receptacles O mirrors E are arranged in the frame A. As the frame at the side edges of the openings to said recesses extends into close proximity to the said receptacles, the axis of rotation of the receptacles is, as shown, approximately coincident with the plane of the mirrors.

In Figs. 1, 4i, and 5 I have shown that the upper portion of each of the receptacles may be provided with a number of revolving receptacles F, which are independent of the main receptacle, except that they are journaled therein. In these independent receptacles F bottles and articles of such height that they could not be advantageously contained in the smaller recesses of the receptacles may be received.

By myimprm ement means are afforded for rapidly obtaining access to any article desired, while the receptacles for such articles occupy very little space and extend but a short distance into the room. The entire fixture may be constructed before being placed in the store or shop, and be subsequently erected therein.

\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

1. A store or shop fixture comprising an upright frame provided with rearwardly-extending recesses, revolving upright receptacles for articles ex tending for about half their diameter into said recesses, vertically-extend ing shafts upon which said receptacles are right frame provided with rearwardly-extending recesses, revolving upright receptacles for articles extending for about half their diameter into said recesses, vertically-extending shafts upon Which said receptacles are journaled, shelves arranged in tiers on said shaft, and Vertically-extending partitions extending radially from said. shaft and dividingthe shelves into compartments, the frame at the side edges of the openings to said recesses extending into close proximity to said receptacles, substantially as specified.

3. A store or shop fixture comprising an upright frame provided With rearWardly-extending recesses, revolving receptacles for articles extending for about half theirdiameter into said recesses, vertical] y-exteud in g shafts upon which said receptacles are journaled, the frame at the side edges of the openings to said recesses extending into close proximity to said receptacles, and independent revolving receptacles arranged upon the receptacles first named and journaled therein, substantially as specified.
