Improvements in Ticket Racks or Pigeon Holes
I, VICTOR MUILER of 50, Rue de Châteaudun, Paris Fiance Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
This invention has for its object new arrangement for the purpose of avoiding
all loss of space and utilizing the entire suriaces of metallic or other distributors
that is in a distributor having a certain number of boxes of cases containing
determined number of tickets, can be placed by this new method a larger number
of the said boxes or cases each containing the same determined number of tickets
without increasing the superficies of the distributor or at will the same number of
boxes as before may be used, but larger and consequently capable of containing a
greater number of tickets
In order that this invention may be clearly understood reference can be made to
the annexed diawings in which
Fig 1 is a front view of three large boxes and three small ones superposed the
metallic bands G G¹ being taken off
Fig 2 is a side view of Fig 1
Fig 3 is a front view of the metallic band G
Fig 4 is a font view of the metallic band G¹ and
Fig 5 is the inferior part of the boxes or cases sten in plan
In all these figures the same letters of reference indicate corresponding parts
A is a metallic bottom plate mule of two parts (see Fig 2) which may be fixed
by screws to the back of a press, a door or any other convenient place
On this plate A are fixed intermediary partitions B and a lower partition C
On the intermediary partitions are placed metallic bands D which are destined to
prevent the tickets fiom falling out, these metallic bands as seen in Fig 1 do
not rise to the top of the intermediary partitions B Over the intermediary
partitions B there is a narrow horizontal band E to keep in the tickets when the
boxes or cases are quite full, these different parts form the metallic frame of each
box or case
The following is the way of introducing tickets into the boxes and also of
getting them out
A determined number of tickets which are to fill the box is taken they are
introduced by fractions through the top surface of the box or case by superposing
them until the box oi case is quite full, the same operation is repeated for each box
oi case, then the boxes or cases are hermetically closed in front by means of a
metallic or other band G which takes the form of the proble of the boxes or cases
as seen in Fig 2 This band G is held in its place at its two extremities by two
convenient springs H and is punched in front of each box oi case so as to produce
an open space G2 the use of which will be explained hereafter
On this band are rivetted ticket-holders for receiving moveable labels capable of
containing all necessary particulars and in the example represented in the drawing
boxes or cases intended for railway use and having on the label or bill the name of
the station and a table of prices are shown
In order to take a ticket the following is the way of proceeding A button J
pivoting round a sciew K is turned upwards
On the shank of this sciew is a coil
sping intended to hold the button J in any position whatever, the ticket is then

tops of the boxes whilst now by the new ari ingement they are introduced by the
top of the front it is no longer necessary to have an intervening space to introduce
the tickets into the boxes, whence a large space is gained which is very important
in places intended for such ust

1, VICTOR MULI FR of 50 Rue de Chateaudun, Paus France Manufacturer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement
This invention has for its object new arrangements for the purpose of avoiding
all loss of space and utilizing the ertue surfaces of metallic or other ticket racks
or pigeon holes that is in a ticket rack or pigeon hole having a certain number of
boxes containing a determined number of ti hets can be placed by this new method
a large number of the said boxe, each containing the same determ nel number of
tickets without increa ing the superficies of the ticket rack or pigcan hole or at
will the ame number of loxis as before may be used but large nd consequently
capable of contaming a giciter number of tickets
In order that th
the nexed drawing

In all the figure the same letter of icference indicate corre ponding perts
And Are I talle bic pl to m du of two prits sce (Lig 2) which may be
fixed by screws to the back of a press, a door or any other convenient place
On this plate A are fixed intermediary partitions B and a lower partition C
On the intermediary partitions are placed metallic bands D which are destined to
prevent the tickets from falling out, these metallic bands as seen in Fig 1 do not
rise to the top of the intermediary partitions B Over the intermediary partitions B
there is a narrow horizontal band E to keep in the tickets when the boxes are quite
full, these different parts form the metallic frame of each box
The following is the way of introducing tickets into the boxes and also of metting
them out

introduced by convenient quantities through the tony surfe of T by
superposing them until the box is quite full, the same operatio 11-1 +1 for L

band G which takes the form of the profile of the boxes as seen in Figure 2
This band G is held in its place at its two extremities by two convenient
springs H and is punched in front of each box or case so as to produce an open
space G2 the use of which will be explained hereafter On this band are rivetted
ticket-holders for receiving movable labels capable of containing all necessary
particulars and in the example represented in the drawing, boxes of cases intended
for railway use and having on the label or bill the name of the station and a table
of prices are shown
In order to take a ticket the following is the way of proceeding A button J
pivoting round a screw K is turned upwards On the shank of this screw is a coil
spring intended to hold this button J in any position whatever The ticket is
then diawn out by introducing the finger into the notch L (seen in Fig 5) and as
the boxes or cases are immediately superposed as seen in Figs 1 and 2 in order to
facilitate the more complete introduction of the finger, the upper part of the
Cover G is punched so as to form an open space G2 as hereabove said and as seen
in Fig 1 After those explanations relative to the introduction and the extraction
of the tickets it is very easy to understand that by these new dispositions allowing
the placing of ticket-boxes directly over each other the place formerly lost by the
intervening spaces is utilized, then, indeed, the tickets were introduced through
the tops of the boxes whilst now by the new arrangement they are introduced
rough the top of the front, it is no longer necessary to have an intervening
pace to introduce the tickets into the boxes, whence a large space is gained which
is very important in places intended for such use
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
--

plite A, intermediary partitions B and a lower partition C substantially as above
described and illustrated
2 In a ticket rack or pigeon hole cases of boxes formed by a metallic bottom
plite A, intermediary partitions B and a lower partition C combined with metallic
binds D and a narrow horizontal band E substantially as above described and
illustrated
3 In a ticket rack or pigeon bole cases or boxes formed by a metallic bottom
plite A, intermediary partitions B and a lower partition C, metallic bands D and a
nrrow horizontal band E combined with metallic or other band G punched in
front of each case oi box so as to produce an open space G² and held in its place
by spings H, substantially as above described and illustrated
4 In ticket rack or pigeon hole, buttons J pivoting round a screw K. placed
before each case or box, the lower part of sud case or box having a notch L,
made to facilitate the extraction of the tickets, substantially as described and
