IMPROVEMENT IN LOOKING-GLASS ATTACHMENTS FOR BUREAUS, 84c.
Specification forming partof Letters Patent No. 158,422, dated January 5, 1875; application filed March 23, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN ADAMS KNIGHT, of Auburn, in the county of Androscoggin and State of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Attachment of Looking-Glasses to Bureaus, Wash- Stands, and other articles of household furniture, of which the following is a specificatiOn:
My invention relates to an improved means of attaching a looking-glass to a wash-stand or bureau, so that the glass, when not in use, is contained, secure from injury, in a recess in the body of the wash-stand or bureau, and at the same time is capable of being raised or slid upward, so that its lower end, by the employment of supplemental slides, may be raised above the top of the stand, and inclined as desired, by which construction I am enabled to employ a looking-glass the height of which is equal to that of the wash-stand or bureau, as hereinafter more fully set forth.
Figure 1 is a front view of the washstand, showing all of its parts extended. Fig. 2 is a front view of the same when closed.
The drawer A has a supplemental slide, B, on each side that admits of its being drawn out its full width, although it extends nearly the entire width of the stand. The frame of the lid or desk surface 0 is hinged at the front of the drawer, that its inclination may be altered to any required degree, either by resting on the edge of the stand, as shown in Fig. 1, or on a prop hinged to the inner side of the drawer, directly under the lid. The end drawers, D and E, are opposite and in the same plane; but by arranging the slides of D, as at f, on the upper parts of the sides of the drawer, and that of E on the lower parts, as at g, both drawers may work on extension slides without interference one with another.
The frame K, that carries the looking-glass L, s
has supplemental slides M M, that admit of its being drawn up its entire depth, allowing the glass to be swung so that its lower edge may rest on the top of the stand and held there for use, as shown in Fig. 1.
The frame may also be held up by spring catches.
By returning the glass to a vertical position the frame can be readily returned to its place, and the glass concealed by means of the pro jeotion of the frameK, as shown in Fig. 2. The frame 0 of the lookingglass L is pivoted at p p to the frame K, as seen in Fig. 1, by which construction the inclination of the glass can be varied at pleasure. In the shelf N is a slot, 0, designed to hold the water-basin in a vertical position, so as to leave room for the ewer to be placed on .the shelf at its side.
By this arrangement the interior of the stand affords ample space for packing, when not in use, all the utensils required for two persons.
I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination of the frame 0, provided with the looking-glass L, of the frame K, and supplemental slides M M, substantially as described, and for the purpose specified.
JOHN ADAMS KNIGHT.
