Y The' horizontal `frame is hungf'atone end 'upona rod, 4 c, inserted in the upper end` of a frame-work, D,

hinged upon one side of the receptacle A, so that it may be closed within the receptacle A and stillallow the door a? to be closed freely.

To the opposite end of the side strips c a rod, c 'is Vatizaeliedover `which are passed and secured the plates c5, through the forward ends oi' which a second rod is passechjits ends projecting beyondthe plates cs and receiving the ends lof the side strips c, lemployed, in

connection with v the cross strips, to form the vertical frame, the side strips .being free to move upon this rod so as Vto allow the secoudpframe to befolded directly beneath the irs't one.

The horizontal frame used may, after the second Vframe has been placed parallel with it, be turned inwnrdor downward into a vertical position,}and thus beclo'sed within the frame D when'desired, carrying with it the second frame previouslyfolded beneath ite' Such being the construction, the operation will readily understood y i l j The shelves of the receptacle are-intended to receive clothes or other articles that may be placed f there.
