Specification of Letters Patent.
Patent ed Sept. 2, I913.
Application filed July 25. 1912. Serial No. 711,548.
To all wc/mmit may concern lie it known that l, JonN ll. lnmonn, citizen of the United States, residing at Troy, in the county of Rensselaer and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Medicine-Gabi that they may be swung out of the cabinet thereby permitting: the desired bottle to be obtained without it being necessary to remove the remaining bottles, as is necessary where the bottles are all placed in a cabinet not providedwith swinging receptacles.
Another object of the invention is to so construct. the receptacles that the. receptacles will hold each other in a closed positionand the inner receptacles be prevented from swinging out when the outer receptacles are opened. I
Another object of the invention 15 to provide a device which will hold the bottles upon the shelves of the receptacles thereby preventing any. danger of their dropping when the. receptacles are swung outward.
In the accompanying drawings:--l*igure 1 is a perspective. view of the cabinet. Fig. 2 is a front elevation showing: the outer com mrtmcnts swung open. l ig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 with the inner receptacles also swung outward. Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view with the receptacles closed. Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4 showing the outer receptacles open and indicating the manner in which one of the inner receptacles holds the renuiinina ones closed. Fig. (i is a view similar to Fig. 5 with one of the inner receptacles partly opened prior to opening the remaining inner receptacle. Fig. 7 is a vertical sectional view through the cabinet. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of one of the pivot pins which is used inmounting the inner receptacles. Fig. 9 is a sectional view showing the pivot pin in place. Fig. .10 is a :t'ragmcntary view showing the latch which holds one of the outer receptacles in a closed position. Fig. 1'] is a fragmentary elevation showing the construction of the device for holding the bottles in position.
This invention comprises a. cabinet having the enlarged lower mrticn 10 forming a cupboard provided with the frontdoors 1]. This cupboard 10 may be used for any material desired. such for instance as bandages, absorbent cotton, and other materials which take up a considerable amount of space. The upper portion 12 of this cupboard forms a shelf upon which bottles taken from the receptacles may he. placed until the desired number of bottles have been moved from the receptacles. The upper portion of the cabinet contains the bottle receptacles and comprises the rear wall 13, side walls 14, top 1. and forward receptacles l6 and 17, which as can be seen form the front doors of the upper portion of the cabinet.
and it) between which the shelves 20 are mounted. Vertical flanges 21 are at the outer edges of the shelves 20 and are fitted into grooves 22 so that the outer faces of the flanges do not extend beyond the side walls. Hinges 23 connect the outer receptacles with the side walls 14 so that the outer receptacles may be swung to the open 7 Each of these forward re ceptacles 1s provided with the side walls 18 a position shown in Fig. 2. A bolt 24 is carried by the receptacle 16 and fits into a socket formed in the top 15 to hold the receptacle 16 in a closed position, and a lock 25 is carried by the receptacle 17 in order to hold the receptacle 17 in a closed position, as shown in Fig. 5. Glass windows 26 are carried by the outer receptacles so that the contents of the outer receptacles may be seen through the. windows, tlms indicating that the cabinet is a medicine cabinet.
The inner receptacles 27 and 28 are pivotally mounted between the shelf 12 and top 15 by means of pivot pins 29 which are sscured to the inner receptacles as shown in Fig. 2.. The ivot pins are reduced and pass through bcar1ngs31 which form the sockets to prevent the platform 12 and top 15 from being worn to such an extent that the inner rcceptiusles would not work properly. Each of these inner receptacles is divided into two sections by means ofthe vertically extendinc partition 32 having its edge portions positioned in grooves formed in the side walls of the inner receptacles. Shelves 33 similar to the shelves are mounted to each side of the partition 32 and are provided with flanges 34 at their outer edges which are positioned in grooves similar to the manner in which the flanges 21. are mounted. From ins ection of Figs. 4, 5, and 6, it will be see that the end walls and 36 of the receptacles 27 and 28 respectively are wedge shape in cross section, the wall 36 being provided with a curved face. By this construction the receptacle 28 may be swung outwardly as indicated in Fig. 6, the curvature of the wall permitting the receptacle to be swung outwardly without coming into contact with the wall If, however, as shown in Fig. 5 the receptacle 27 attempts to move out before the receptacle 28 has been opened its inner end portion will come in contact with the thickened wall 36 thereby stopping the movement of the receptacle 27 and prevent its being opened beyond a certain amount. It will thus be seen that after the receptacles 27 and 28 have been swung inwardly and the receptacle 28 locked by means of the locking pin 37 that the two inner receptacles will be securely held in a closed position. It will also be seen that even if this pin 37 were omitted that the outer receptacles would hold the inner receptacles in place when closed, since the inner edges of their walls 19 come in contact with the walls and 36 as clearly shown in Fig. 4, thereby holding these receptacles in a closedvposition.
Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new, is
1. A cabinet comprising a body portion, inner receptacles pivotally mounted between the side walls of said body portion, the inner walls of said receptacles being thickened to form oppositely inclined wedge shape walls to cause one of said receptacles to prevent the opening of the other of said receptacles when said receptacles are in a closed position, the wall of said first mentioned receptacle being curved to permit the receptacle to be swung open, means for holding said first mentioned receptacle in a closed position, and doors for said cabinet closing in upon said inner receptacles.
2. A cabinet comprising a body portion,
receptacles pivotally mounted in said body portion, pivot pins at the upper and lower ends of said receptacles and provided with reduced free end portions passing through bearings carried by the top and bottom of said cabinet, the inner end walls of said receptacles being thickened and wedge shape in cross section whereby one of said receptacles will hold the other of said receptacles in aclosed position, and doors for said cabinet engaging said receptacles when in a closed position to hold the receptacles stationary.
In testimony whereof I hereunto allix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
