UNITED STATES- LOUIS DIAMOND, OF NEW YORK, IN'. Y.
wAnDnoBn-TRUNK.
naaavsa;
To all wlw/Ht t may concern Be it knownthat I, Louis DIAMOND, a resident or' New York city, county and State ot New York, and a citizen oi the United States of America, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wardrobe- Trunks, of which the following is a specification.-
This invention relates to improvements inv Yfeatures of improvement" will hereinafterap" pear.
l will now proceed to describe my invention in detail, the novel features `of which l will point out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure l isa tacevle'w ofmy improved trunk, illustrated as standing on end'and open- 2 is a sectional view, the section being taken on line 2`--2 in Fig. l, looking downwardly, the cover being broken oli Fig. 3 is an end view, looking downwardly of the body portion of the trunk;
Fig. a is an enlarged sectional view, the section being taken on line 4.-4 in Fig. 3;
5 is a fragmentary sectional view, the section being taken on line 5-5 in Fig. 6;
Fig. 6 is an end view, looking downwardly, illustrating the top compartment as opened or swung outwardly; and
Fig. 7 is a fragmentary face view of a modified form of my invention.
In the drawings, whichillustrate my invention, no particular structure has been resorted to, the idea being to illustrate a trunk made up of a body portion and a hinged cover therefor, both elements being, o course, well known. My particular invention has or an object to provide a body portion 7 et trunk with a plurality of pivotJ Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed april 22, 1921. Serial No. 463,569.
ally mounted trays or containers 8, which can be swung out oi the body portion, as illustrated in Fig. 6, in order that ready access can be `haul to the contents thereof. Each container S will lit within a compartment9, said compartments being formed by placing partitions 10 in the body portion 7 ottheltrunk. Each tray or container 8 will be provided with hinge-members 11 toon# gage cooperating hinge-members 12 carried by a plate or strip 13 which in! turn is liastened to the inner surface oi vthe wall let of the trunk and adjacent the outer edge there# oi. Each hingemember 12,- on bar 13, will carry a pin 15 to loosely engage an open` ing 16 in a cooperatinghinge-member 11 on containers 8. The containers may be swung upon pin 15 and at any time removed therefrom `by being lifted upwardly (see dotted lines Fig. 5), after they have been swung clear of the body portion 7 'Fo-arrange the trays or containers so that they can be swung outwardly, the outer end wall of each tray will be disposed at an angle relative to the other walls ot the tray, said angular ends being indicated by 17. ln other words, the outer end wall 'ot each tray will haveto be arranged so that thetrays can be moved upon their pivots. To do this the said end walls cannot be in parallelism with the innerv end wall lii the iront wall 19lis to fit the spaceQ when the tray is closed or moved into its normal closed position.
When the end4 wall 17 is angularly disposed, a space 2O will be lett between said end wall 17 and side wall 21 oi` the body portion of the trunk when the trays are closed. In order to utilize'this space, l pass a tube or chamber 22 through the partitions 10 in the corner of the body portion, said tube being adapted for the storage of canes, umbrellas, etc. ln order to have access to said storage tube, I provide the end 23 of the trunk with an opening 24tcontaining a threaded bushing 25 to receive a threaded plug 26. The inner end of plug 26 carries a boss 27 having a flat surface 28 to be engaged by a block 29 carried by the top tray 8 (see Figs. 3 and 4), when said tray is closed, whereby the plug is held against rotation and consequent removal. So long as upper tray 8 is closed, plug 26 will be locked and cannot be removed.
Various means may be resorted te tot locking the trays closed, but I have herein indicated a locking bar 27 engaging, at its lower end, a socket 28 in the trunk body, and also a plate 29 intermediate its ends, the bar being locked to the end wall 23 of the trunk at its upper end by a lock mechanism 30.
' When the trays are to be opened, the bar 2T will be unlocked and removed. This is a well known locking means, but I do not limit myself to its use.
Instead of employing an opening having a closure in the end wall of the trunk to gain access to the storage tube, I may hinge the end wall 31 of the trunk (see Fig. 7) as at 32 to the wall 33, a suitable lock mechanism 3av being employed to secure said hinged end wall to the side wall 35. To gain access to the storage tube 36, the wall 3l will be swung upwardly (see dotted lines Fig. 7 The body portion of the trunk, in both forms, will be provided with the usual hinged cover or top 37.
By arranging the trays 8 so they can be removed from their pivots and carried away, a very convenient structure is provided because it frequently happens that it is more convenient to remove a tray from the trunk, than the contents of a tray therefrom,
In order to mount the tube 22, I provide each partition 10 with an opening 38. As said openings will be in alinement, the tube 22 can be readily inserted therein. If desirable, the tube may be omitted, in which case umbrellas orv canes will be mounted in the openings 38.
llfhat I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is l. In a wardrobe trunk, a body portion having a rectangular cross section, trays within same arranged for removal therefrom, one end wall of each tray Vbeing angularly disposed relative to the opposite end wall, whereby a space between said angular end wall and adjacent wall of the' body portion of the trunk will be provided when said trays are in closed position, and a tube for umbrellas or the like located in said space.
2. In a wardrobe trunk, a body portion, trays removably mounted within saine, locking means for the trays, a storage tube located at one corner of the body portion and within same, one of the end walls of the body portion having an opening alining with said tube, a closure for said opening, andV means associated with one of the trays to lock said closure against operation when said trays are lo'ked.
3. In combination with a trunk, a tubular container for umbrellas or the like, extending substantially the length thereof, one end of said tube being open and extending through one end of the trunk, means to cover the open end of the tube, and means to lock the covering for the open end of the tube.
4. In a wardrobe trunk, a body portion,
trays removably mounted within same, locking means for the trays, a storage tube located at one corner of the body portion and within same, one of the end walls of the body portion having` an opening alining with said tube, a plug having a threaded engagement with said opening, and means carried by the adjacent tray arranged to Contact with said plug to prevent rotation thereof, when said tray is locked. v 5. In a trunk, body portion, said body portion being divided into a plurality of independent compartments, and a tube for umbrellas or the like passing through said compartment and accessible through one end of the trunk.
6. In a trunk, a body portion having a plurality of partitions, each partition provided with an opening in one corner thereof, the openings being in alinement, and means located in said openings arranged to retain umbrellas or the like.
LOUIS DIAMOND.
