WARDROBE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 26, 1918.
Application filed March 1, 1917. Serial1i'o. 151,705.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANCIS N. BARDWELL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Passaic, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Wardrobe, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relatesto portable or collapsible wardrobes and it has for its general objects to provide an improved and simple construction of attractive and pleasing appearance and so designed that both the front and rear resemble a screen having a plurality of folds or panels.
A-more specific object of the invention is the provision of a wardrobe composed of a plurality of hingedly connected sections of which one at least is a compartment for holding wearing apparel and the other section or sections may be compartments or panels which can beset at any desired angle, so that the wardrobe has the appearance of a screen rather than a cabinet for holding articles.
With such objects in view, and others which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention comprises various novel features of construction and arrangement of parts which will be set forth with particularity in the following description and claims appended hereto.
In the accompanying drawing, which illustrates certain embodiments of the invention and wherein similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a combined screen and wardrobe of the two-compartment type;
Fig. 2 is a horizontal section thereof;
Fig. 3 is a plan view of a multiple section wardrobe and screen, of which one of the sections is a compartment and the other sections simply screen panels; and
Fig. 4 is a horizontal section of a simple combined wardrobe embodying a single compartment and a single screen panel section.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing, A designates a combined wardrobe and screen made up of two sections 1 and 2 each in the form of a compartment for holding wearing apparel and each compartment has a full-length panel 3 extending from the top to the bottom, which serves as a door. The other sides of each compartment are fulllength panels which may be hingedly or detachably connected together so that the sectlons of the combined wardrobe and screen can be folded together compactly for shipment. The details of construction of each compartment whereby collapsibility is provided, are not shown, as they form no part of the present invention. The two sections 1 and 2 are movably connected by hinges {i which permit the two sections to be adjusted one with respect to another, like a four-panel screen. In Fig. 2 the sections are so disposed that the walls of the compartments are at forty-five degrees to a plane passing through the coincidin diagonals of the sections, but of course t e sections can be adjusted so that adjacent walls form difl'erent angles. If desired, the two sections 1 and 2 can be adjusted back to back so that in plan view the wardrobe will be of rectangular form in outline instead of an outline of two squares or rectangles with their corners meeting.
In Fig. 3 the screen A is made up of three sections 5, 6 and 7, which are connected by hinges 8 and 9, the section 6 being shown in Fig. 3, the article presents the appearance of a screen with the four panels arranged zigzag at ninety degrees to each other when viewed in front, and with four panels arranged in two planes at rightangles to each other when viewed from the rear.
The combined wardrobe and screen A Fig. 4, comprises two sections 11 and 12 which are respectively compartment and screen panel sections connected by hinges 13. In both the forms shown in Figs. 3 and 4 the panel sections can be folded back against the compartment section so that the wardrobe will have the appearance of a simple cabinet and will thus take up less room.
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, the advantages of the construction and method of operation will be readily understood by" those skilled in the art to which the invention appertains, and while I have described the principle of operation, together with the article which I now consider to be the best embodiment thereof, I desire to have it understood that the article shown i it ll is merely illustrative and that such changes may he made when desired as fall within the scope of the appended claims.
Ha ring thus described my invention, I
5 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
1. A combined wardrobe and screen comprising a section in the form of a compartment having one wall as a door, and each of 10 the other walls of substantially the same size as the door, and another section hingedly connected to the first-mentioned section, the door and adjacent wall of the first section and the said second section being designed to represent panels of a screen \\-'hereby the compartment of l he lirst section is concealed.
2. A wardrobe composed of a plurality of sections hingedly connected together, and each section hein in the form of a compartment, one side o'l. which is a hinged door, the door and walls of each compartment constituting panels of a screen, whereby the compartment featnres of the sections are conceeled.
