CHARLES A. PUCKETT, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

SUPPORTING-TABLE.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES A. Pn'oKET'r, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Supportinglables, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in supporting standards or tables and more particularly to a stand which is adapted to be arranged within the sink to support the dish pan in spaced relation with the bottom of the sink, the object of the invention being to provide a stand or table, which is adapted to support the dish pan out of contact with any greasy slops or waste, which may be poured into the sink.

Another object of this invention is to provide a device of this character which will possess advantages in points of efficiency and durability, is inexpensive of manufacture and at the same time is simple in construction and operation.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel features of construction and the combination and the arrangement of the parts to be hereinafter more fully described, pointed out in the claim and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective View of a supporting table constructed in accordance with my invention; and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 indicates the top of the table which is constructed of galvanized sheet iron or any other suitable material of this character, the marginal portions of which are flexed to afford the downwardly projecting flanges 2. Formed at one side of the top and centrally arranged is a suitable opening 3 which may be used as a drain opening when the device is in use or may be used to receive a nail or hook for suspending the table from Specification of Letters Patent.

the wall when the device is not in use. Ar-

ranged at each corner of the top 1 are the tubular supporting legs, 4, said supporting legs being soldered or otherwise secured to the top and further braced by means of the angular corner pieces 5, the upper ends of which are soldered or riveted to the downwardly projecting flanges 2 and the lower ends thereof tapered and secured to the legs t upon the outer sides thereof whereby it will be readily observed that a convenient and effective means is provided whereby adjacent ends of the flanges are held against separation or distortion.

Arranged within the lower end of the tubular supporting legs 5 are the shanks 6, which are formed integral with the supporting feet 7, said shanks and feet being prefe'ably cfmstructed of rubber, as shown in the a i:comp:mying drawings, so that when the device is placed in a sink lined with enamel or other similar material, the same will not become marred or scratched by the constantmoviugabout of the table. In washing dishes, it a very convenient custom to place the dish pan in the kitchen sink on account of the convenience to the drain board, but many objections are made to this operation on account of the sink being too low.

It is the principal object of my invention to support the dish pan at a sufficient height so that the bottom of the dish pan will be practically upon a level with the drain board. It will also be apparent that the dish pan is supported in spaced relation with the sink so that any greasy waste, which may be placed in the sink will not come in contact with the dish pan. It will also be apparent that my device is extremely simple in construction and can be manufactured at comparatively low cost.

While I have shown and described the preferred form of my invention, it will be obvious that various changes in the details of construction and in the proportions may be resorted to for successfully carrying my invention into practice without sacrificing any of the novel features or departing from the scope of the appended claiin.

What I claim is 5 A device of the character described including a top having its marginal portions flexed to form depending flanges, supporting legs soldered to the top and the inner faces of the flanges at adjacent ends of such 10 flanges, and angular brace plates soldered to the outer faces of the flanges at adjacent ends and overlying and soldered to the supporting legs whereby such flanges are held against distortion.

ln testimony whereof I hereunto my 15 signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
