Specification forming. part -or Letters Patent NW10-4,263, dated June 14,1870.'
Be it known that' I, vWILLIAM H. BUTLER.,
of 'the city,county, and State Vof NewYork, have invented certainne'vvV and useful Im-.
provements in SaieDeposit Boxes; and l' do hereby, declare that the ifollowing is a. full, clear, and exactdescription of the same, reference being had to the accompanying draw ings, making partof this specification.
My improvements'relate' to the manner of constructing the small safeswhichare let to' separate individuals in safe'fdepositinstituf' tions. These safes'pr safe-deposit boxes are built togetherin systemsV or nests, whichv occupy a portion of, or the entireV sideor sides of, a room. Each small safe is provided with` asyeparate door',l .through whichisintrodneed the. drawer or tin .box containing'the" papers,
securities, &c. Itis desirabletomakefthe" boxesin a secure, simple, and cheap manner,
which will utilize' as. much space-as possible. y.
In avusual` method of construction aV series of pigeon-holes are A,formed .of iron plates by running'long plates parallel Witheach otherto form the horizontal l'or' vertical!"divisions,v and connecting such plates byzshorter ones, which are eithenanged at their edges' yand riveted to the .others or left flat andsecured d Thesel plans involve con-r. siderable labor and expense and waste a large l with .angle-iron.l
amount of space. Generally, also, a casting is secured, by means of'lugs thereon, tothe front of the boxes, to form-the doorlframes, and materially reduces the-size of each openlug- Aln my Improved boxes the horizontal vdivis-` ionsare formed of long platesand the Verti cal divisions by short plates set-between the horizontal ones, and the doors r are hung on `pintles'secured in projecting portions of the latten so that no door-frameis necessary. .The horizontal plates are tied together by ilat bars passing vertically through holesin the plates, thefends of4 whichbars are riveted over outside the top and b ottom plates. To these bars. also, the vertical partitions are riveted. The front tie-bars answer, moreover, as `strikingbars. for the doors.
In thedrawings, Figure l represents ar plan view of asystem or nest of boxes containing four units', the top plate being partially out away to show the interior of the upper boxes. Fig. 2'is'a front view ofthe same -wit'n the several doors in/diiiferentpositions; l FigQ is a longitudinal vertical section through A. a in' Fig. l. Fig; 4 is an enlarg View, shwing a vertical cross-section at B bin 5 and the Vedges-ofthe bars against whichA thefdoors' strike. Fig. isialso an enlargedfviejv, s owing a vertical'longitudinal sectionvatvG c," ig.
4, and the ilat side of one of the'striking-bars.
D D Dare horizontal plates,\vhich for-m the top andl `bottom Walls of` the boxes. .'llhese plates may be extended totheright or leftto connect any desired number ofV boxes.l Q QQ are the vvertical partition-Walls,' which are made of iron 1 plates equal in vvidth to the' heightl of. the' single `boxese- By-the sides of the vertical partitions, at .intervals across the jbox, are placed. vertically flat tielbars vgi g g,"
"Stm, which pass through Inortisesin the hori-l zontalfplates D, D, and D, andarerivetled'at #their-"ends over the voutside -`0I" the'top and bottoxnplateaor [intosuitable counter'sinlrs in suh'plates'; or said bars maybe provided with screwed "ends, on which nuts may be yplaced.- To-the flat sides ofthe bars-yg 585e., are-riveted or4 screwed the vertical plates QQ Q, `so that these bars tie the whole-struct# iure iirmlytogether.` Y v v rI he rear of several `ofthe boxes is generally covered vby one large plate, rwhich isV secured by screws passing through it into' theedges of the nearest ybars g g g. s The horizontal plates D D D extend farther in front than the vertical ones, andto the projecting port-ions vor 'ledges E E the doors G Gr2 G3 G4 are hinged. The front barsfgifg &c., are set back, from the ends of platesQ Q a- `distance equal j to the thickness of the doors G G, Sto., andforrn V:not only tie-rods but striking-bars, against-Which the l doors shut. `'lhese'i'ront barsfare'also provided with Inortises or notches on theirrear-edges, as shown in Figs. 3 and 5, which receive iat one side the bolts of the locks Z Z and atthe other the dogs- .or catches n n.
The tiebarsg gare arranged inside of the these bars may be varied according to circumstances and the strength required.
Each front bar, g, on one side of an inner -A partition, runs through the horizontal platos, and extends from top to bottoni, forming both ya tie and striking-bar. On the other side,
' however, of the innerpartition the striking bar may be a full length tie-bar, or a short piece, h, .equal in length to the depth of a single box, and simply riveted through the plate to the tie-bar on the other side.
In Figs. et and ,5, g is the combined tie and striking bar, and h thel short striking-bar.
The door-hinges are on the outside inthe usual way, and the pivots or pintl'es'upon lwhich they turn pass 'through the projecting portions E ofthe horizontal plates at points nearly opposite the centers of the vertical partitions. The effect of this is that each door,
' when shut, is flush vWith the ends of said verg goccur on both sides of the interior, I in some instances secure a thin plate of metal inside the bars r/ y', as shown at S in Fig. 1, which furnishes a smooth surface to guide the inner box back into its place.
l" 2'l v torneos NVhen desired', the` bars y y may be covered in the saine manner in all the boxes. rIhe plate S is perforated opposite the notches in g,'so that the bolt of the lock and the dog a will catch into the striking-pieces.
By the method of construction herein shown and described,.the entire space between the horizontal plates is utilized, as none is occupied by a door-frame, and the side space wasted is no more than is necessary for the striking-pieces. The construction isv also strong, exceedingly simple, and costs much less than any other with which I am familiar. My plan of construction may be modified by running the long plates vertically and the short plates and tiebars horizontally.
I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent ,1. The tie-bars g g g', &c., combined and connected with the top and side plates of the box, substantially as described.
2. The bar g', so combined and arranged as to act as a tie-rod, to secure together the top and side plates of the box, andvalso as a striking-piece for the door, substantially as described.
3. The inner plate, S, combined with the bars g g'g, and arranged substantially as and for the purposes specified.
