Description

Patented July 15, 1924 anna HANS P. DANA, or rnoolvm,'wasm-i\ie'ronl COMBINATION CABINET AND TABLE.
Application filed July 30, 1923. Serial No. 654,698.
To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, HANS P. DANA, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tacoma, in the county of Pierce and State of Washington, have invented a new and useful Combination Cabinet and Table, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in combination cabinets and tables and the principal objects of my invention are to provide a cabinet with a front door forming a substantially fiat surface when in the closed position and when opened said door assumes the form of a table with side benches and legs. Other objects are to provide a combination cabinet of simple and durable construction, that is compact and convenient for camp, auto-tourist, and kitchenet use, and which may be manufactured at comparatively small cost.
With the above and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of the novel construction, adaptation, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed. These objects are accomplished by devices illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure I is a view in front elevation showing the device in its closed position;
Fig. 2 is a view in central transverse vertical section of the same; and
Fig. 3 is a view in perspective showing the device in its open position.
Referring to the drawings throughout which like reference numerals designate like parts, the numeral 5 designates the main body portion of the cabinet and 6 indicates a plurality of shelves disposed therein, while the numeral 7 designates a chest secured tov the bottom of base board 8.
The outer board 9 of the chest 7 forms part of the front surface of the cabinet and a relatively large rectangular board 10, hingedly secured to the upper edge portion of said outer board, forms the table member when in the open position. A pair of legs 11 is pivotally secured to the upper or outer end portion of said table member and a transverse cleat 12 is fixedly secured to said legs, as at 13, extending the full length of said front surface clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings.
At either end portion of the front surface relatively wide boards 14 are hingedly secured at their bottom or inner end portions to the base board 8. Said boards areflush with the outer board 9 and legs 11 in the closed position and form the side bench members in the open position.
Referring to Fig. 1 of the drawings it will be seen that the board 9, table member 10, legs 11, and bench members 14 collectively form the entire front surface of the cabinet and that said members are functionally arranged to form a substantially flat surface in the closed position by means of the pivots and hinges together with the cleat 12.
Referring to Fig. 2 it will be obvious that.
the front surface may be converted into a table with legs and benches by a single operation in swinging the respective members to the open position, with the benches 14 securely resting on the cleat 13, and the entire cabinet conveniently accessible for use in serving meals.
By virtue of the flat front surface together with the compact arrangement, the device is particularly adaptable for use in the camp or kitchenet and may be readily secured to the running board of an automobile for convenient and ever ready use by auto-tourists.
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings the form of construction and method of use of my combination cabinet and table will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which the invention relates, and it will be understood that the apparatus shown is merely illustrative and that such changes may be resorted to as are within the scope and spirit of the invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. The combination with a cabinet of a folding side wall comprising a table top member and bench members hingedly secured to said cabinet, leg members pivotally secured to said table top member, andsaid table top, bench, and leg members arranged to form a flush closure for said cabinet in the closed position substantially as specified. 2. The combination with a cabinet of a folding side wall comprising a table top member and bench members hingedly secured to said cabinet, leg members pivotally secured to said table top member, a cleat secured to said leg members arranged to support the outer free ends of said bench members in the open position, said cleat arranged to retain said bench members While in the closed position, and said table top, bench, and I leg members arranged -.tocollectively form a flush closure fOITSaid cabinet in the closed position substantially as specified.
HANS P. DANA.
