. Boronnns BLOCK.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FREDERICK J tary, durable and efiicient butchers 101001;. intended to be used in the cutting up of meat or other food or less moisture.
. Butchers blocks are I contract owing to changes in the temperature and to the absorption of more or, less products containing more 7 moisture from the articleror articles being cut thereon, and such blocks if made'of a solid piece of wood mam to crack and permit the flow into the cracks of organic matter which is apt to decompose and become extremely offensive to the smell and utterly insanitary. Moreover, the expansion of such blocks is apt to cause injury to th containing frameand to create cracks or V crevices which are objectionable for the reasons hereinbefore stated,
According to my present invention 1 pro-- vide a composite or built-upblo'ck made of aseries of wooden segments securely fastened together so as to form a substantially homogeneous mass, and this block is so mounted in the frame that it may expand and contract horizontally in all directions, without injury to, the main frame. l
I also provide a special arrangement for the convenient handling of the tools. required in the. business in which the block is used The outer-parts ofthe main framework are also provided withsuit'able enameled plates which may be readily cleaned and are wholly sanitary.
I also provide adisappearing drawer conveniently mounted in the space inside the main frame and beneath the composite block, in which may be kept the additional knives or other tools or implements needed in the business for which the block is intended. t

being shown I p tion. apt to expand or .of a' portion of'the main frame, carrying the Patented Dec.-2, 1919.
.My invention? will be mo-re fully understood after reference to the accon'ipanymg drawings, in whichsimi'lar parts are indicated by llke reference numerals through- 1 out the several views, and 111 wli1cl'1:- I

Fig. t shows a section throughthe main frame along the line of .Fig 2, and looking down," the disappearing drawer in the normal or hidden posi- Fig. 5 shows asection on a larger scale knife rail, and the-adjacent portion of the block showingthe clearance space to allow for expansion or contraction. I
Figs. Band '7 are similar views to Fig. 5, but show modifications in the construction 1 or the mainframe and the means of'securmg the enameled platesthereto.
Fig. 8is a plan view'on a largerscale of a corner of the knife frail, parts being broken away; and v I Fig. 9 is a similar view toFig. 8, but
shows a modification. 1
The main frame comprises the side boards 1 mounted on the supporting legs/2 and covered on the outside with the, enameled plates 3, having the corners" secured tegether bythe plates 4,"which may be enameled, or coated with,non corrosive metal, suchasnickeh Thls main frame 1s prov ded with cleats which the bottom board .6 is secured, :and'. on which board the mam block 7 is. mounted and to which 1t may be secured in any convenient wayfas by see Fig.2. This bottom piece 6 and the side boards 1 form a rectangular box open at the top the screwsv 8,
7 is made up of a series of segments 9, secured together by diagonal dowel pinslO, split at the ends 11, and provided with wedgeslQ so that these dowel pins firmly hold the blocks in place. These dowel pins are preferably of the same material as the in which the block 7 loosely fits. This block d blocks-themselves so that they will expand" and contract with the blocks, and with the samecoefiicient of expansion. 7
any. convenient way, either directly as shown-in Figs. 6 7, or upon an; interposed block15, asshown in Fig. and these knife rails arerpreferably curved in their center, as at 14k, and are held against warping on one edge by the cleats16 and on the other. edge by. the splin plate 17. These knife rails form a convenient shelf .sur-.
rounding the main'block and into which the knives of the operator, or little pieces of meat, bones, or other material may be con- 7 veniently placed.
1 Theknlfe rails are secured together at] theirupper corners in any convenient way,
as by means of the splin pins 18, see Figs. 3 and 8, or the dowel pins'l9, see Fig. 9.
The knife rails form a. complete rectangle I surrounding the lolock and projecting partly into the recess 13in said block,and may be I preferably arranged so as to be detachably mounted on the top ,of; the Sideboards 1 of the main frame, as shown inFigs. 5 to 7.
. In order to provide'a disappearing drawer in the empty space. beneath -thebottom I drawer, but when this springis drawn for-.
andin'full lines in Fig 1. 7
As a convenient attachment to the v construction described, I provide a detachable tool 'holder shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, in which represents a block" with a slot 31 adapted to hold the butchers cleaver. 32
represents vertical board which carries near its ends brackets 33 to support the saw, and 34; indicates a rail withholes 35 Y therethrough to permit the insertion of the knives, skewers, steel saws or other implements used by" the operator. .This tool holde'ris adapted to rest on the kniferail and may be applied to any side of the block that may be most convenient, but is preferably on th frontofthe drawer 24.5
fThe'ent-ir e exterior portion ofthefblocki's {intended tolbe smooth and' polished, with- "out any cracks or crevices into which any insanitary matter, may accumulate.
