HIRAM R. DAVIS, OF HERKIMER, NEW YORK.

TELESCOPIC SHOW-CASE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 670,404, dated March 19, 1901.

Application filed July 18, 1900. Serial No. 24,119. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Hiram R. Davis, a citizen of the United States, residing at Herkimer, in the county of Herkimer and State of

New York, have invented a new and useful Telescopic Show-Case, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in show-eases; and the object of the invention _o is to provide a show-case in which the placing and displaying of the goods in the case are facilitated. I attain this object in the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which—

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved show-case, showing one of the sections partly opened. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the case, showing both sections partly opened. Fig. 3 is a transverse section through line 3 3, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the guide-clasps for the sections.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

A represents the foundation or platform of 25 the show-case and which is provided with two longitudinal rails A', having inner and outer grooves A² and A⁸, adapted to receive the guide-clasps on the slidable sections hereinafter mentioned.

B and C represent two slidable sections, each comprising two sidesand a top and having open ends. These sections, which form the show-case proper,are slidably mounted on the rails A' and adapted to slide one inside the other, the lower portions of the sections 35 being provided with guide-clasps B' O',adapted to engage the grooves A² and A⁸, above referred to.

D and E represent two stationary ends, which are secured to the platform and against 40 which the open ends of the slidable sections are adapted to be placed when the show-case is closed. The sections being made to telescope each other permits the contents of the case to be readily exposed and accessible. 45
