Specification of Letters Patent.

Apjolication filed January 5. 1918. Serial 1*2'0. 9316.562.
To (ZZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Trioiazis R. CHENEY-i, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jacksonville, in the county of Duval and State of Florida, have invented new and useful Improvements in Display-Cabinets, of "which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to furniture, and more especially to display stands; and the object of the same is to produce a cabinet having a number of trays pivotally supported between the cover and base of the cabinet and occupying very little room when so disposed, while they are capable of be ng swung to open positions when desired to dis play their contents.
This object is carried out by constructing the cabinet so that it will stand in a rig t angular roormcorner, all as more fully hereinafter described and claimed and as shown in the drawings wherein Figure It is a perspective view and Fig. 2 is a side elevation of this cabinet,
Fig. 3 is a perspective detail of one tray, and
Fig. 4; is a plan view showing the cabinet as standing in the square corner of an ordiuary room.
in the drawings, the numeral 1. designates a base which is herein shown as ornamental and having some considerable thickness, the numeral 2 designates a cover which is herein shown as flat on its top and ornamented on its edge, the numeral 3 refers to a series of trays herein shown as of identical construction and size and provided with internal partitions i sub-dividing them into comparb merits herein shown as identical in the several trays, although that is not necessary, the numeral 5 designates an upright shatt'and is fixed at its lower end in one angle of the base as at 6 and extends upward loosely through the corresponding angles of all the other elemerits, the numerals 7 are nuts on the shaft although other means could be employed for holding it in place. and the numerals 5% are washers or other spacing devices between. the various elements.
Attention is invited to the fact that the several elements of this device are substautially equilaterally triangular in contour. it is essential that the sides, as 10 and ll. oi any element shall form an angle 12 with each other which is acute or less than a right ans lo, whereas the remaining side 13 which is m efieet the front of the, element and is herein shown. also as flat, might; have othei configuration or possibly be ornamented Without departing from the principle of my invention. I would prefer, however, that all elements have the same contour hatever it is, and also that all elements be of substaxr tially the size excepting perhaps for the ornamentation on the cover and the base; although the trays might difier in depths and, as above suggested,the disposition of the partitions 4-. within the trays is optional and the several trays in the series may "be variously sub-divided. The materials and sizes of parts. are not essential.
lVhen the parts are nested or arrangedin exactly superposed relation as seen in Figs. 1 and 2, they occupy very little space. The cabinet may be set up against aflat wall, or it may be set in an angle between two walls as shown in Fig. l. At this time the acuteangled base 1 will of course pass close up into the angle at the corner of the room and even a righbangul'ar base would pass into a right-angular corner. But the fat that the other elements are of acute angularity per-.
mits them to be swung from side to side as shown in Fig. 2. If they are formed in the shape of equilateral triangles shown, any tray A may he swung to one side whereas all others as B may be swung to the other side within the corner of the room, and at least one-half of the tray A will be exposed; and
then by reversing the position of alltrays,
the other half of the tray A will be exposed. Thus an angular cabinet whose sides form acute angles, or at least form less than right angles, may he stood in a right-angular corher and operated successfully to permit access to the various trays or display of the contents if any.
When this devi e is disposed in the center of a room or store, itis quite obvious that the several trays may be swung around their common pivot which is theshaft-S, and their contents exposed or displayed to a large degree, whereas at other times the trays may he nested or superposed as seen in Fig. 1, and the entire cahioet will occupy but very little room. I prefer to use the washers 8 between the pivots of the various elements so that the latter will not strike each other as they are moved from side to side. -Changes in details and elaboration in the elements or features of the invention may he made Without departing. from the spirit of the inventioo.
What I claim as new is the member, each tray resting directly on A display cabinet having a base of trianand acting as a cover for the subadjacent gular form, a top of similar form, a pivot tray, the trays individually or collectively 10 member arran ed in one corner of'the cabi being capable of swinging in either direction 5 net and eXten ing from the top to the base, on the member Without interruption.
and a series of correspondingly-sized trays In testimony whereof, I affix my signature. of a triangular form pivotally mounted on TH OMAS REEVES CHENEY.
