Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 30, 1920.
Application filed. November 15, 1919. No. 338,340.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD BLAIsE, a citizen oi the United States, and resident of the borough of Brooklyn, in the city and Eltate 01? New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cabinets tor Talking- Machine Records, of which the following a specification.
This invention relates to a cabinet tor talking machine records, and has for an object to provide such a structure which includes means for very compactly holding a large number of records when out of use and for simply and quickly exposing the said records for separate withdrawal for use.
Another object consists in providing such a structure in which the records are held when out of use in flat horizontal position, and in substantial parallelism with each. other; while the said records are positively presented for witl'idrawal in substantially vertical position and tan-like arrangement.
Another object consists in providing such a structure which relatively cheap and simple to manutacture, easy to operate and sigrhtly in appearance.
it. turther object consists in providing certain improvements in the form, construction and arrangement of the several parts, whereby the above named and other objects may be effectively attained.
it practical embodiment of my invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a detail tace view of the cabinet showing record holding elements in open and closed positions.
lTig. 2 represents a horizontal section, partly broken away, taken in the plane of the line lI-ltl cit Fig. 1, looking in the direction 01'' the arrows.
llig. 3 represents a detail section taken in the plane of the line Hl[III oi. Fig. 1, looking; in the direction ot the arrows, parts bein shown in different 10811110118111 full m i and dotted lines.
Fig. 4r represents detail section taken in the plane ot the line H of Fig. 3, looking in the direction of the arrow, and
Fig; 5 represents a detail section taken in the plane ot the line Vot' Fig. 3, looking), in the direction of the arrow.
The structure includes an outer casing which hasa rear wall 1 and side walls 2, 3; the said casing being designed to support and inclose a number of drawer-like elements which incorporate my invention. On the insides of the walls 52, 3 slats 4L, 5 are secured in spaced relation by screws 6, these slats being; horizontally disposed and serving drawer-like because they are adapted to be slid in and out of the casing like drawers, and each of the said elements includes a member which I call the drawer and a member which I call the receptacle.
The drawer is composed oi. side members 7, 8 and a rear member 9. Upper longitudinal members 10, 10* are secured to the tops ot the side members and lower longitudinal members 11, 12 are secured to the bottoms of the side members. Cross bars :13, 1 1: are also provided running beneath. and secured to the lower longitudinal members 11, 12. The arrangement ot the said parts is clearly shown in the drawing; and it will be understood that they may be secured together in any desired manner so as to constitute a drawer of skeleton "formation. Since the cross bars 13, 14: lie in a plane below the lower longitudinal members 11, 12 they are fitted to rest and travel upon the slats 5' secured to the inner side walls or the casinn; and it will be observed that the side members 7, 8 are cut away so as to accommodate the slats 4., 5 and thereby enable each drawer to lie in close contact with the adacent drawers in order to economize space.
The front of the :asing 1., 2, 3 has a series o't cross pieces 15 that are horizontally arranged and let int-0 notches 16 formed in the sides 52 and 3 so as to be flush with the front thereof. These cross pieces are so arranged that one will lie between each pair trudes a little more than half its length from the casing. H V
The receptacle comprises a front member 19, side members 20, 21 and end members 22, 23. The end members 22, 23 are flanged and secured to the front member 19 by screws 24. The other extremities of the end members are perforated to receive screws 25, 26 that are fitted in the side members 7,
8 of the drawer. As a result of this arrangement it will be seen that the receptacle is pivoted to the drawer. The side members 20, 21 are provided at their lower corners with clips 27 that carry trunnions 29, which enter complementary apertures in the end members 22, 23, thus providing an articulated receptacle which has the capacity of opening in a fan-like manner. The front member 19 of the receptacle may be composed of wood, like the drawer and easing, but the side members may conveniently be composed of some fibrous material, such as binders board, and the end members 22, 23 of sheet metal.
The edges of the side members 20, 21 are provided at points located from the clips 27 a distance about equal to the length of the end members 22, 23 with additional clips 30 connected by strengthening bands 30*, that also carry trunnions 31 fitted to enter grooves 32, 33 fashioned in the inner faces of the side members 7, S of the drawer. It will be observed that theiclips 30 on the side member 21 are slightly father away from the front member 19 than are the clips 30 on the side member 20, see Fig. 3. The shape of the grooves 32, 33 is clearly shown in this same figure and it will be observed that they are curved and that each one has a slight almost straight extension at one end; this extension being at the upper part of the grooves entered by the trunnions 31 on the side member 20 and at the lower part of the grooves entered by the trunnions 31 on the side member 21. Thesegrooves lie on each side of the pivot point formed by the screws 25, 26 and are eccentric to an imag nary circle struck with the said screws as its center. The said grooves may be conveniently formed by screwing or otherwise fastening properly shaped ribs or cleats 3 1. 35' to the inner faces of the side members 7, S, and it will be seen that't-he srrews 26 serve as this fastening means in part.
' The size and shape of the front member 19 of the receptacle corresponds substantially with the cross sectional size and shape of its drawer and, by referenee to Fig/3., it will be seen that the extremities of the straight portions of the grooves 32, 33 are, in the caseof each pair of said grooves, separated' by a distance substantially equal to the height of the front member 19: while the opposite extremities of each pair of said grooves are much farther apart; I This arrangement insures that when the trunnions 31 are at the extremities of the straight portions of the said grooves, the side members 20, 21 will be in substantial parallelism with each other and sufficiently close together to enable the receptacle to be housed within the drawer. On the other hand, when the trunnions 31 are in the opposite ends of the said grooves, the side members 20, 21 are spread apart so as to cause the receptacle to assume a, fan-like shape.
From the foregoing description it will be seen that when the receptacle is swung about the pivots 25, 26 until its end members 22, 22, are substantially parallel with the side members 7, 8 of the drawer. the receptacle will be housed within the drawer as shown in dotted lines, Fig. 3. This movement of the receptacle will cause the trunnions 31 on the side members 20, 21 to travel to and be seated in the extremities of the straight portions of the grooves 32, 33; this motion being effected by the eccentric formation of the said grooves. By pushing the drawer inwardly into the casing 1, 2, 3, the receptacle will be caused to retain this position owing to the engagement of the side members 20, 21 with the adjacent drawers. This is shown in the lower part of Fig. 3. As soon. however, as the drawer is pulled out to the position shown in the upper part of Fig. 3, the receptacle will, when released. automatically swing down from the dotted position into a position substantially at right angles to the drawer (shown in full. lines, Fl 3) and this movement will, owing to the eccentricity of the grooves 32, 33, cause the trunnions 31 to travel to the opposite ends of said grooves and thereby positively and automatically open the receptacle into fan-like shape. Thus it is only necessary for the user to seize the handle or knob 36 on the front member 19 and pull the drawer and receptacle outwardly from'the casing until the cross bar 14 engages its complementary cross piece 15 and then let go of the said knob, in order to open the drawer and receptacle for withdrawal of the records. In returning the parts to closed position it is simply necessary to grip the knob 36, swing the receptacle up into the dotted. position shown in Fig. 3, and then force the drawer and re ceptacle inward y until housed by the vasing. The cross plate 37 which is secured to the bottom of the drawer serves to limit the downward movement of the side 20 of the receptacle and to also hold the same against warping when housed within the drawer. Thus the records are kept compactly and yet may be exposed for convenient examination and withdrawal.
It will be understood that the receptacle 19-23 is intended to hold the talking machine records, which latter will be incased in a suitable envelop designed for the purpose.
Various changes may be resorted to in the form, construction and arrangement of the several parts, without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention; and hence I do not intend to be limited to the details herein shown and described except as they may be included in the claims.
hat I claim is:
