TRUNK surronr Ann GUIDE.
Application filed June 1, 1925. Serial No. 34,263.
This invention relates to a support and guide designed particularly for use in connection with wardrobe trunks, and adapted to provide an independent wholly separable element on which the trunk may be supported, and on which it' maybeguided in the usual opening and closing," without permitting the usual trunk rollers coming into direct contact with the floor or floor cover- 111 TVardrobe trunks are comparatively heavy, and as known, are supported on end and on rollers or slides which rest directly upon the floor or floor covering, and which move over the latter in the Opening of the trunk. WVith the best type of such movable support, the continued opening and closing of the trunk in the use of the latter will quickly mar, the floor or wear through the floor covering. The present invention is' in the nature of a wear plate, particularly designed for properly supporting the trunk, and permitting it to be opened or closed in" the usual manner, with the wear strain of such movement taken by the plate and the'usual marring of the floor or wear of the floor covering entirely prevented;
The wear plate of the present invention is constructed as a separate element, .of general triangular shape, with means at'the apex end, combined with a trunk carried element in line with the hinge, for pivotallysupporting the trunk on the wear plate, the opposite end of the wear plate providing a track section on which roller supports of the trunk are adapted to travel in opening and closing the trunk section.
The invention is illustrated in the accom: panying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the improved wear plate.
Fig. 2 is a plan of the same, the wardrobe trunk being shown thereon in dotted outline.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the same, on line 3-3 of Fig. 2, a broken view of the trunk being shown in position.
The wear plate proper comprises a metal-- lic section of general triangular form in plan, shaped to provide a central or platform section 1, which at the forward end is extended downwardly in the form of an abrupt shoulder 2, of a height approximating that of the rollers with which the trunk is supplied. In advance of the depending corresponding to the plane of movement of the trunk rollers, as will later appear.
The ends of the track section are preferably turned upwardly-to form limit stops 4 t0 limit the opening movement of the trunk sections.
At the rear end, the plate is formediwith furtherdownwardly extending shoulder 5, corresponding tothe shoulder 2, beyond which the plate, is extended rearwardly to form a bearing section 6, that portion of the plate beyond the bearing section being formed in a return bendfto provide .a (supporting section 7 in the plane of'the-platform section 1, the supportingsection being formedwith an opening 8,. The trunk, in-
dicated at 9, isformed in line with, the hinges 10 with a ball extension 11, of EP'SlZBYt/O seat partly in the opening 8, and form a rotating bearing support for the trunk. The respective trunk sections are formed or'provided near their meeting edges on their, lower sides with rollers 12, here shown as ball rollers, which, when the ball extension. 11 is in the opening'8, areadapted to rest on the track 3. l: i
With the trunk positioned .on the wear plate as described, it is apparent that. the cooperation of the ball extension 11 with the opening 8 in the wear plate, will pivotally support the trunk at this point, while the rollers 12 at the forward portions of the sections of the trunk may be freely moved on the track section 3 of the wear plate in the opening and closing of the trunk. These rollers 12 are preferably arranged near the inner edges of the respective trunk sections, so that the maximum opening of the sections is permitted before the rollers engage the limit stops 4.
If desired, and as preferred, the lower surface of the track section 3- of' the wear plate, and the hearing section 6, may be provided with suitable material, as rubber or the like, indicated at 13, to prevent sliding of the wear plate on the surface on which it may be placed, thus rendering the trunk and wear plate a substantial fixture when in applied positions. r
The wear plate is constructed of metal of substantial thickness for the purpose noted,
the similar dimension of the trunk.
and it is to be particularly understood that,
. as will be clear from Fig. 2 of the drawings,
the maximum width of the plate: isless than that of the trunkwhen closed, and that the maximum length of the plate is less than Thus the Wear plate'may form a desirable adjunct of the wardrobe trunk as completed for the trade, may be readily stored 'in'th'e trunk 'until it is desired for use.
The use ofthe wear plate dispenses to a considerable extent with the number of supporting rollers hereto-fore deemed necessary to carry the weight of the trunk and permit its movement in opening and closing. In
this connection, it is to be noted that with the wear plate there are but three points of support for the trunk, and that but twoof these are rollers. This is a direct result of providing the Wear plate with the platform section'l, which, when'the trunk' is posi- 'tioned' on the wear plate, is so close to the lower surface of the trunk as to prevent any liability of the trunk tipping when in closed position.
Claims:
1. A guide and Wear plate for wardrobe trunks formed at one end with an opening to receive and support one end of'the trunk, the opposite end of the plate being formed to provide a track to movably support the sections of the trunk in their opening and closing movements.
2; A guide and wear plate for ward-robe trunks formed at one end with an opening to receive a ball extension in line with the hinged connection of the trunk sections, the
oppositeend of the plate providing a track to receive and guide rollers. carried by the movable sections of the trunk.
3. A wardrobe trunk support and guide, comprising a member of substantially triangular form in plan, a trackway at the forward end of said member, a raised platform in rear of the trackway, and a supporting section in rear of the platform.
4. A wardrobe trunk support and guide, comprising a member of substantially tri angular form in plan, a trackway at the forward end of said member a. raised latform in rear of the traclrway, a bearing section in rear of the platform, and a supporting sectlon overlying the bearing section. v f
5. A wardrobe trunk support andguide,
comprising a member ofsubstantially triangular form in plan, a trackway at the forward end of said member, a raised platform in rear of the trackway, a bearing section in rear of the platform, and a supporting section overlying the bearing section, and
means carried by the. trackway and bearing sections to prevent the support and, guide slipping on the surface to which itisapplied.
6. A guide and wear plate for wardrobe guide, comprising ai'substantially triangular V shaped section formed at the apex to support the trunk in line with the hinged connection between the sections and formed on the base line to guide the trunk sections in their relative movements. s
