I, WILLIAM PARNALL of 108 Victoria Street in the City and County of Bristol
Grocers Outfitter do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to Show Cases with pivot centred vertical door or doors, the
object being to display goods that may be quickly and easily removed.
The Case is provided with circular or other glass front, the top and bottom of
case carries the vertical door or doors. An extra bottom or shelf or shelves are
attached to the pivot centred door or doors so that the act of revolving the door or
doors exposes the goods resting on the extra bottom or shelves and withdraws said
goods from the interior and presents them outside the Show Case immediately in front
of the operator.

page_text: I, WILLIAM PARNALL of 108 Victoria Street, in the City and County of Bristol,
Grocers' Outfitter, 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 relates to a show-case provided with one or more centrally pivotted
vertical doors each carrying one or more shelves so that the goods displayed thereon
may be quickly and easily turned into or out of the case.
The accompanying drawing is a perspective view of a show case constructed
according to my invention and provided with one pivotted door carrying one shelf.
A is the case-front which is preferably wholly of glass bent to a semi-circular form
and B is the top and the bottom of the case. D are two standards or pieces of
wood uniting the top and bottom at the back of the case and against which abut the
vertical edges at the rear of the front A or preferably into grooves in which the said
edges enter the top and bottom edges of the front A being similarly fitted against or
into the top B and bottom C. E is the door which by the vertical pivots F is hinged
between the top B and bottom C. G is the shelf or false bottom carried by the door E
and H is a spring or other latch for locking the door in its closed position.
To stock the case with goods the latch H is released and the door E is moved
on its pivots so that the shelf G is turned to the outside. The goods are then
arranged on the shelf G which may then again be turned into the case thus leaving
them exposed to view through the front A.
Although by preference I construct the before described show case with a semi-
circular glass front I desire to explain that I may make the said front of other
form.
It will be observed that the door E may be divided at any portion of its
height so as to form two or more doors each of which may be fitted with one or
more shelves.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In a show case a centrally pivotted vertical door such as E substantially as herein
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
2. In a show case the combination with a centrally pivotted vertical door such as E
of one or more shelves or bottoms such as G secured to and moving with the said
back substantially as herein described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
3. The complete show-case substantially as herein described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawing.
