ADJUSTABLE' PIECE 0F FURNITURE.
Application led March 24, 1911. Serial No. 616,691.
To all whom it may concern.'
Be it known that'I, SREN PETER RINGER,
Ea, subject of the King of Denmark, residing at Copenhagen, Denmark, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Pieces of Furniture, of which the following is aspecification.
The object of the presentinvention is an adjustable piece of furniture namely a bureau fitted with one or more doors hung on hinges, pins or the like and adapted to be swung in against the bureau, when not in use, while, when the bureau is to be used, they may b swung out` doing service as working table, writing desk, side-board, drawing table or the like.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 being a vertical llevel, fitting the bureau for use as ay drawing table, Fig. 4 the same, with the door placed in the topmost position and sloping,
whereby the bureau isvadapted for use as a desk.
f Referring to the drawingLa is the door, b a pin provided at each end of the door in the side walls of the bureau andvserving as pivot for the door, c is ya slot provided in the doorv and engaging the pin b.
d is one or more arms fastened to the door, there being usually two, namely one at each end of the door. These arms may suitably be extended across the door forming cleats for the latter, e is a hook or the like fastened to the end of the arm d.
The door is swung down by turning it about the pins b in the direction of the arrow f, Fig. 1. -Thereby the arms d, as shown in Fig. 2, will rest against the shelf or the like g, provided in the piece of furniture, and the hooks` e enter corresponding depressions therein, thus ysecuring the door in position, when it is swung down.
h, are various pins or the like fixed into 'the side walls of the bureau opposite the Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 2, i915.
vhook e engages then the rear pin t and secures thedoor firmly, so that it may not be drawn out, unless it has first been raised. The door may be placed at various different levels, horizontally or with an inward or outward slope, all according to the requirements. The bureau being also provided with the rear series of pins t, (Figs. 1 to 4:) it is adapted to receive a door at the rear side, as well as at the front side. If only onedoor is used, a larger or smaller portion of the rear side may be omitted, in order that the door after having been removed, maybe inserted at the rear side, if for some reason this might prove preferable.
The main distinguishing feature of the invention is the provision of arms d lending the entire construction a strength, simplicity and cheapness of manufacture never known before. The use of the arms d has the vfurtheradvantage that the door easily and conveniently may be removed and again inserted at various 4levels and inclinations. The arms d are located in vertical slots or narrow cavities in the bureau and occupy but a very small space. The remaining space may be utilized as desired for shelves, drawers and the like. The door may be fitted, in known manner, with lock and other metallic fittings. A bureau may suitably be fitted with two such doors, one at either side, the doors may be adjustable as to level, and they may also, if desired, be located at the rear or side-wall of the bureau or piece of furniture. The door is especially useful in book cases where the door, when swung down, may rest against one of the shelves and be supported thereby. The door may then be utilized for placing a lamp, books or the like thereon.
Having now particularly describedand ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, Ideclare that what I claim is and closing the door,A supports engaging said arms to limit theswinging of the door around, said journals whereby said door below and above said arms respectively, thereby permitting the adjustment of the 4detached door in a plurality of positions b oth as to height and angularity, Whenserving as an external shelf.
' lThe foregoing specification signed at Copenhagen this 10th day of March, 1911.
