  • Patent number: 4432170
    Abstract: This outdoor telephone booth has translucent side panels which extend substantially the full height of the booth. The side panels, and front and rear header panels as well as the interior of the booth are illuminated through a diffuser by a single source of illumination. The diffuser has a horizontal panel as well as two oblique side panels disposed at 30.degree. with respect to the vertical for substantially uniform illumination of the full-height side panels of the booth. The sloping panels of the diffuser are held down by snap-in retainers, eliminating separate fasteners, and making the diffuser highly resistant to tampering. The illumination assembly depends from a bridge which extends across the upper end of the booth. The bridge is held down by a removable cover.

  • Patent number: 4332204
    Abstract: In a sheet metal merchandising display stand, a base shelf is converted from a horizontal bottle support to a tilted package support merely by reversing its position. Two reinforcing channels are secured to the underside of the shelf and extend from one side to the other. These reinforcing channels have web sections both of which are located in a plane forming a 3.5 degree angle with the article-supporting surface. The web sections rest on flanges which project inwardly from the side panels of a base assembly and are located in a plane which is 3.5 degrees from the horizontal. In one position of the shelf, the two angles add together to produce a shelf angle of seven degrees. In the other position the angles subtract to produce a shelf angle of zero degrees. A strong, light-weight tiltable shelf is provided which can be adjusted in the fore-and-aft direction.
