Referring tothe drawings in detail, 7

denotesfa back, 8 and 9 sides which` are secured 'to the back and each of which has 'y `toniplate which is ofinaterially less width than the portions 10y of the sides andthe said bottom plate 12 is secured to. the back 7 and the sides 8 and 9. f

Mounted upon the shoulders 11 is a plat-y v form 13, which projects from .the portions 10 of the side walls 8, 9 and abuts against a vertically disposed ,partition plate` 14, which normally abuts againstA the sides 8, 9

and provides a compartment l5 anda chamber which is divided by the shelves 16 `into a plurality oi' compartments 17. Mounted upon andsecured to the platform' 13 `and' also secured tothe shelves 16 and to a spacing member 18 is ra front frame 19 hinged at oneAA side, as at 20, tothe wall 9. Hinged to the 'trent frame, as at 21, is a pair of oppositely disposed doorsr which, when closed are connected together by latches 23.

The ytop plate 24 has connected Vthereto a vertically disposed top piece 25 for ornamental Arranged within the lower portion of the chamber 15, are vertically disposed uprights 27 Vto each of which is pivotally connected, as at 98, the inner pair 29 of a series of pairs of levers 30, 31 and 32 forming a lazy tongs.

The levers of the pairs 30, 31 are pivotally l connected together as at 33, the levers of the pair 31 `are pivotally connected to the levers of the pair 30, as at 34, and the levers of the pair 3l are pivotally connected to the levers of the pair 32, as at 35, and the levers of the pair 30 are pivotally connected tothe levers of the pair 29, as at 36. The lazy tongs which are pivotaly connected to one upright 27 oppose the lazy tongs pivotally connected tothe other upright 27.`
