PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Means for Displaying Goods for Sale and for
Advertising.
I, JOSEPH PEPPER WRIGHT, of 37, Ravenswood Road, Redland, Bristol, Com-
mercial Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:―
The improvements in means for displaying goods and for advertising consist
substantially of a rectangular box. There are two windows on the upper portion of
each side-eight windows in all. These windows open outwardly and are fixed at
right angles to the structure and are kept in position by being attached to pro-
jecting shelves which are hinged or otherwise attached to the body of the structure
and which shelves serve for the display of goods for sale. Upon the windows are
painted or otherwise displayed any desired advertisements. At night the windows
are closed and a lighted lamp inside the kiosk renders the advertisements
visible.
Improvements in Means for Displaying Goods for Sale and for
Advertizing.
I, JOSEPH PEPPER WRIGHT, of 37, Ravenswood Road, Redland, Bristol, Com-
mercial Traveller, 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 improvements in means for displaying goods for sale
and for advertizing.
On each side of any rectangular box A' and A are two windows B and B
which can be fixed at right angles to the structure. This box can be placed upon.
a base at any desired heighth from the ground. Upon the windows can be
painted or otherwise inscribed any desired inscription. A counter C¹ and C on.
each side, folding from the inside of the box, keeps the windows when open in
proper position, and is used for displaying goods for sale. The windows being
closed and the structure illuminated, the inscriptions are visible at night.
At the
Figure is the elevation of such a structure, being mounted on a rectangular
base indicated by the dotted lines. A is the interior of the upper box.
sides of this box, two window frames B₁ are fixed by means of hinges D¹ which
enable them to be closed or opened as desired.

page_text: The windows being opened at right angles to the box, they are kept in that
position by the counter C which is hinged to the bottom rail of the box, and
folds from the inside. The windows being opened, the counter keeps them at right
angles to the box by means of the bolts E¹.
Figure 2 is a plan of the structure showing the windows B open and the
counters C folded outwards, and kept in their proper positions by the bolts E.
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:
(1) Novelty for the disposition of the counters inside the box, and
(2) For the windows opening at right angles to the structure and kept in that
position by the counters, so that inscriptions on the windows may be read from any
position.
