To all whom 1f/may concern;

Be it known that ll, ARTHUR C. CIMAGLIA,

a citizen of theUnited States residing in the city of Mount' Vernon, county of Westchester, `State of New York, have invented anewv and improved Working-Drawer for Jewelry Workers. y

It is well known among makers of jewelry and other `substances `of precious metals, that a considerable amount of metal filings and scrapings are l.lost by blowing away during the work and that it is very difficult to collect the metal dust.

The'object of this invention is to provide a receptacle for receiving and collecting the metal filings and to reduce the loss of same to a minimum. 1

l obtain this object by providing a drawer having its front face recessed and curved toward the interior with its central portion raised somewhat above the three other sides, and the ends somewhat lower, being shaped thereby like an apron. i The drawer is suitably supported below the work bench so that it can be pulled out. The workman generally performs his work in a sitting position with the front end of the drawer supported upon his knees and the apron shaped front fitting around his body, while his arms are supported on the depressed portion of the front and the two sides. The usual working pin is fixed at the front of the work-bench in such a position that when the drawer is pulled out the pin is above the drawer. 1n this manner all metal filings and scrapings fall into the drawer and are thereby retained. Another importantl feature of my device is that the bottom and three sides of the drawer are made of one piece of metal forming jointless edges and thereby making it very easy to collect the very fine metal dust which would collect at the joint between the sides and bottom of the drawer.

Other features andadvantages will be apparent from the detailed description and the accompan. ing drawings forming a part of this speci cation and in which similar numerals refer to similar parts in all the views and in which, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my device; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of my device showing a man in position at work; Fig. 3 is a plan view of the metal forming the drawer, before the sides are turned upwardly; Fig. t is an elevation of the metal forming the front of the drawer before it is bent to shape; Fig. 5 Yis a side elevation of the drawer; Fig. 6 is a front elevation of the drawer looking in the direction of line 6 6 Fig. 5 and Fig. 7 is alongitudinal sectional elevation of the drawerfshown in perspective.

Referring to Fig. 3, the bottom 1 and the sides 2, 3 and tof the drawer are made of one sheet of metal by being bent up at the edges 5, 6 and 7. The bottom 1 has a semicircular cut 8 into which thecurved portion of the front side of the drawer is fitted.

The drawer is supported on the runners 12 fixed beneath the bench 13 by means of the vertical irons 12a and is prevented from being pulled off the runners 12 by means of the stop pieces 11. The working pin 14 is fixed at the front of the bench 13 so that it is over the center of the drawer.

rlhe operation of the device is clearly shown in Fig. 2. rlhe workman 15 is seated in front of the drawer with the bottom 1 resting upon his knees and the curved apron shaped front piece 9 fitting snugly around his body, while his arms rest over the depressed portion of the front piece 10 and between the depressed portions 15 and 16 of the sides 2 and 3. It will now be evident that all metal filings and scrapings will fall within the drawer and will be retained therein; after which it can be readily collected.

Having thus described my invention, l claim as new and wish to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A device of the character described comprising a drawer having its front face curved toward the interior and the central portion of said face somewhat higher than the sides for the purpose shown and described.

2. A device of the character described comprising a drawer having its front face curved toward the interior and the central portion of said face somewhat higher than the sides and sloping downward toward the ends for the purpose shown and described.

3. A device of the character described comprising a drawer having its front face curved toward the interior, the central portion of said face being somewhat higher than the ends and the two sides of the drawer being depressed somewhat near the front face for the purpose shown and described. n

4f.. A device of the character described higher than thegends, the two sides of the drawerbeing .depressed somewhat near the front face for thepurpose shown and described.

f 6.-A device ofthe. character described comprising a working bench, a drawer .slidingly supported beneath said bench having itsfront tace curved toward the interior and its central portion somewhat higher than the sides for the purpose shown and described. 1

7. A device of the character described comprising a working bench, a drawer slidingly supported beneath said bench having its front 'face curved toward the interior and its central portion somewhat higher than they sides for the purpose shown and described, and a working pin fixed atthe front of said bench approximately over the center line of said drawer.

Signed at the city of New York, county of New York and State of New York, this 7th day of August 1917.
