Description
E. GREEN-L improvement in-Side Tabies. No, 124,811, Patented Mums, 1872.
y'ml. I
mvaenrea FIC- IMPROVEMENTJN SIDE-TABLES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 124,811, dated March 19, 1872.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ELMER GREEN, of North East, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Side or Wall Table, to be used for ironing-table, card-table for railroad cars, and other like purposes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
The nature of my invention consists, first, in providing a wall-fastening for a wall or side table which shall permit the table to be quickly and easily removed, and which shall permit the table to be turned up against the wall out of the way, and shall automatically lock itself so it will remain fixed in an upright position; second, to provide an ironing-board which shall be so attached to the wall that it shall offer no obstruction in the form of legs to the work of ironing skirts, shirts, 850.; and which shall permanently sustain itself until removed by the operator in the manner hereinafter described.
. The following is a description of the construction and operation of my invention:
A and B are intended to represent, respectively, the floor and wall of aroom. r
The figures in the drawing are as follows:
Figure 1 shows one of my tables in position,
a is a sustaining-brace, which has its lower end in the angle of the floor and the wall, and its upper end is hinged to a stay-block on the bottom of the top board 0. This constitutes the construction of the table itself, which I do not claim as new in itself. The table is attached to the wall by the following device, which is seen in Figs.1 and 2, and is shown in detail and on a larger scale in Fig. 3: It consists of the attaching-hooks E E, which are inserted in the top board 0 firmly, but leaving a long shank out. Attached to the wall B are two eyes, F F, each of which are provided with washer-plates G G, which prevent the hooks from wearing the wall, and also give a solid bearing for the hook in its operations, and also a stop for the table 0, as shown in Fig. 2, when the same is thrown up againstthe wall. In Fig. 1 the hooks are shown sustaining the table 0, working in conjunction with the brace D. In Fig. 2 the hooks E E are shown (as also in Fig. 3) with their shanks shoved down into the eyes F F, and in that position they hold the table firmly against the wall, and the hinged brace D falls down out of the way, as seen in Fig. 2. The relative positions of the hooks E E, eyes F F, and washer-plates G G, are shown in their ofiice of sustaining the table firmly against the wall and out of the way. The dotted lines in Fig. 3 show the position into which the hook must be thrown to be removedfromthe eye; so when it is desirable to unhook the table from the wall the operation consists in raising the table high enough to permit the brace D to be drawn forward. This will allow the board to drop to the floor at its outer end, which will bring the hooks into the position shown in Fig. 3 by the dotted lines, and when in that position it can be unhooked.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:
. 1. The attaching device E F G, in combina tion with the table 0 and brace D, as described, for the purposes set forth.
2. The hook E, in combination with the eye F and washer G, for the purposes described.
ELMER GREEN.
