. tionhaving particular ref rence to novel injury by contact with metal parts of the meansfor supporting and hinging trays of trunks or the like.

While we shall in this specification, here inafter refer to the invention-in connection with trays of trunks, we wish it to be understood that we do not wish to be limited with respect to a trunk per se but that the invention may be used in connection with CEtSES, boxes, or inclosures having other names wherein a member is removahly supported.

An object of this invention is to provide i a trunk having a tray, the said trunk having tray supporting members provided with novel means for protecting the edge of the trunk and forming a support for the tray hanger whereby the protecting device sup ports the fastening devices for the purpose of retaining the'tray support in proper position and at the same time reinforcing the .fasteners of the tray support.

A still further object of this invention is to provide novel means associated with'the tray support whereby an interlocking connection is formed between the tray support and the tray hanger and whereby the said tray support may'be made from a single piece of metal stamped from a strip of ma terial.

A still further object of this invention is to 1.:ovide a tray hanger adapted to cooperate and coact with the tray support whereby the said tray hanger is swingingly mounted on'the tray support in order that a tray 'to which it is attached may be swun on its. pivots or lifted from the support an bodily removed from the trunk, the invention further contemplating the provision of novel means for protecting the tray against s. port. r

the foregoing and other o hjects in View the invention consists in the details on-construction and In the arrangement and Figure 1 illustrates a View in elevation of a fragment of a'trunk .Withthe invention applied thereto; F 1g. 2 illustrates a perspec- I .tive view of a. fragment of a tray with the hanger in place thereon; Fig. 3 illustrates a perspective view of a fragment of a trunk with the tray support applied thereto; and Fig. s illustrates a sectional view on th line 4- 1 of Fig. 3.

In these drawings we have shown the tray support as comprising a plate 6 having straps 7 integral therewith which are adept ed to he bent on themse ves to form eyes or bearings 8 having a pin or bar 9, the said straps being preferably ofii'set with relation to the plate (3 in order that the bar may stand from the side of the plate to form a clearance for the tray hanger (to be presently explained). The plate 6 has an integral lip 10 which extends between the straps 7, the said lip being bent to form a hook-shaped member which embraces the upper edge or" the trunk forming a protectingplate and acting as a partial support for the tray support. By reason of the formation of the lip and its relation to the edge, of the trunk, the fasteners '11 which extend through the plate, and straps for securing the plates to the trunk, are relieved of considerable strain and therefore, the said hanger and fastener cooperate or coact to hold the tray support in place.

\Vhile we have limited the description to one tray support, it is to be understood thatthese trav supports may be duplicated and that ordis" two or more of such devicesare used in each trunk.

The comprises a. plate. 13 which is secured to the tray 1%, the said plate having a cut-away portion formingia tongue 15 which is bent to. lie parallel with the plate 13 but is spaced therefrom to form a clearance for the reception of the bar 9 on which it is hung. The portions of the plate on each side of the cut away portion serve to engage the lip '10 when the, tray is swung .pwardly, thus preventing the bruising of or injury to the tray 01' the trunk, when the parts are manipulated and the lip 10 is thereby useful in guarding the upper edge of: the trunk When the tongue 15 formed by the cutaway portion is ire eerted on the rod or bar. It is apparent that should. the end 01? the tongue become distorted slightly that it would he apt- 110 injure the upper edge of the trunk but for the presence of (he lip which offers protection to the edge of the trunk and also ae'te :15 :1 guide for directing ihe tongue to its seat between the P041 or bfil and the phiie. The plate 13 is secured 10 the fire y T epprw prime fnsi'e'nings 16 which may he in he form of rivets or ethee securing devices.

We claim- L In a support for trays 6f trunks piate having straps, said straps being shaped in form 10n1:-s,'1ueuns-: for securing the gt laie in the trunk a rod in the hxuie tongue pmjecting from the phlte and fil'nbl'flfii a the efige of the trunk, a hanger COJZ'APXTi-HQQ plate-end a tongue 0.11 the plate adapt" t0; embrace and engage the red of the support, the said support and. hunger having: metehie cementing sm'ii'uees for pmteeiilig the tray and trunk.
