ADJUSTABLE AND, o'oLLArsIBLE WALL FIXTURE.
Application filed November 4, 1924. Serial No. 747,819.
To all whom it may concern: I
Be it known that I, EARLE W. GU MINes, a citizen of the United States, residing at Santa Barbara, county of Santa Barbara, State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Adjustable and Collapsible Wall Fixtures, of which the following is a specification.
My invention has for its object a service board fixture adapted to collapse or fold into a wall cabinet positioned between conventional wall studding or to be outfolded therefrom into the room into any of a plurality of elevations.
My invention is particularly adapted to ironing boards and the like.
By referring to the accompanying drawings my invention will be made clear.
Fig. 1 illustrates my invention applied to an ironing board wherein the several parts of the structure are shown in their outfolded position.
Fig. 2 is a reduced front View of the device of Fig. 1 enclosed or collapsed witlnn the wall cabinet and with the doors closed.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary diagrammatic side view of the partsof Fig. 1 in outfolded position.
Figs. 4:, 5 and 6 are similar to Figs. 1, 2 and 3 respectively except that a different type of door and a strut separated therefrom is employed.
Throughout the figures similar numerals refer to identical parts.
A conventional wall recess cabinet is indicated by the numeral 1 adapted to be positioned between the studding and built within the wall of a conventional room. In a preferred form of my invention I provide an upper hinged paneled door 2 and a lower panel 3, the latter adapted to swing outward upon an axis 4 and serve as, or be attached to a compression strut for supporting the service board member 5 when extended, and which in this case is indicated as an ironing board.
A spacing bar is shown at 6 hinged at 7 to strut 3 and at 8 to the ironing board 5 so that when the board 5 is pulled down from a vertical position rotating about its pivot 9 the bar 6 controls the movement of the strut 3 causing it to swing outward and against the stop lO when its upper end contacts with the board 5. The stop 10 is here shown as a cleat secured to the under side i.
of the boar-d5, though it is evident that it may-consist of any device adapted to locate the free end of the strut 3 in proper position against the board.
In the sides 11 and 12 of the cabinet 1 are provided channel ways 13, 1 1, from which a pluralityof sockets extend right and left at various elevations for ieceiving the axle 4 as at 15, 16 or 27 and for receiving the axle 9 as at 17, 18 or 26. The distance between the axles 4 and 9 is a fixed distance and the entire assembled structure 5, 6, 3, when outfolded into the room may be displaced with its two axles of movement carried in any of a plurality of sockets opening from the said channels 13, 14., thus providing different elevations of the member 5 when outfolded in the position of Fig. 3. Thus with the parts in the position as shown in Figure 3 the ironing board 5 occupies the highest position, if however the axles t and 9 be slipped out of their respective sockets and displaced to the new socket positions 15, 18, respectively the board will occupy an intermediate height, and if the axles 4 and 9 be put in the socket positions 16, 17 respectively the board will occupy the lowest position.
When in this lowest position the panel or strut 3 in combination with the door 2 fully closes the cabinet opening when the members are folded.
In Figs. 4, 5, 6 there is employed a single door 20 adapted to fully close the cabinet and a separate compression strut 21 anda single channel way 10 from which a. plurality of sockets 22, 23 and 2 1, 25 open right and left therefrom.
The operation is as follows. The door 2 or the door 20 is first opened and the upper end of the board 5 is then pulled forward pivoting about the axle 9. The bar 6 now forces the strut 21 or panel strut 3; depending on which form of my, invention be employed; forward about the axle 4, until its free upper end rests against the stop 10 as in Figure 6, except that the axles 4 and 9 25 and 23. V p
At such times the parts if built in accordance with Figs. 1, 2, Will be as shown in Fig.
. 3, except that the axle 9 Will be in the socket 17 and the axle 4 in the socket 25, the board 5 being then in its lower position.
To raise the board into the position of Fig. 3, it is pushed horizontally backward until the axle 9 falls Within the channel 14 and at the same time the axle 1 is pulled forward into the channel 13. The axles may now be shifted through the channel Ways into any new socket position. For example I claim:
The combination of a vertically collapsible and horizontally extendible service board With an angularly disposed strut and spacing bar therefor pivoted at its ends respectively to said board and strut intermediate their ends all arranged to form When extended an assemblage for vertical movement as a unit, and mounted between the vertical Walls of a recess having vertically spaced notches opening into channels, projections from the strut and board engaging the channels and adapted for positioning selectively into various of the notches upon bodily moving the assemblage to various points of elevation.
