STORAGE RACK.
Application filed November 17, 1923. Serial No. 675,323.
This invention relates to a kitchen stora e receptacle for vegetables, fruit etc. and t e general object thereof is to provide a receptacle of this type which is of particularly rugged, as well as useful, construction.
Another object of the invention is to provide such. a receptacle which may cheaply 4 and easily be made.
A further object of the invention is to provide such a receptacle which although made of rough material will present smooth edges so as not to catch or tear the clothing of the person coming in contact with it.
Other objects and features of the invention are to generally improve the construction of kitchen storage receptacles all as will more fully appear from the following description and accompanying drawings.
In order to give an understanding of the invention I have illustrated in the drawings a selected embodiment thereof which will now be described after which the novel features will be pointed out in the appended claims.
Fig. 1 is a perspective of the finished receptacle;
Fig. 2 is a perspective of the one piece open work unit used to form the back and sides of the receptacle and'the open work fronts of the baskets.
Fig. 3 is a lan view of the parts of the receptacle rea y for assembly;
Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional detail of an upper front corner of the upper basket;
Fig. 5 is an enlarged horizontal sectlon through the corner of the rack.
Fig. 6 is a horizontal sectional 'detail of a lower front corner of the lower basket.
The receptacle has an upper basket 1 and a lower basket 2 made from a one piece open work unit which forms the entire back 3 and sides 4 and 5 of both baskets, and
separate spaced sections 6 and 7 of open The open work which forms the back,-
sides and fronts of the baskets is preferably expanded sheet metal lathing and the backand sides of the baskets are formed of a single piece ofthe open work which extends from the lower horizontal partition or hotrough and likely to catch in and tear the clothing of persons who happen to rub against it. In order to prevent this from happening the up-turned edge of the bottom of the lower basket is positioned outside of the lower edge 12 of the one piece unit to present a smooth outer edge. All other of the cut edges of the open work which are exposed are covered with a marginal sheath-- ing 13 folded over said edges. This marginal sheathing is preferably made of strong metal which will serve not only as a covering for the rough edges of the metal lathing to present a smooth edge which will not catch in the clothing of persons coming in contact with the receptacle but also as strengthening bars to assist in giving rigidity to the entire structure.
Each basket is preferably divided into I compartments by division Walls. These. di-. vision walls are made from open work similar to that used for the back, Sides and front of the baskets and marginal sheathing is folded over the edges of the walls in order to make them more rigid and also to provide smooth edges therefor. The division walls are held in place by angles 14 which are riveted to the metallic sheathing of the division walls and the baskets. Similar angles 15 connect the division Walls to the bottoms of the baskets and serve further to strengthen the structure as well as to prevent the bottoms of the baskets from sagging when the baskets are full. The division wall 16 of the upper basket is preferably rectangular in shape and entirely fits within the basket while the lower division wall 17 is made so that at the rear it extends above the front of the lower basket and abuts the bottom 8 of the upper basket thus dividing the lower basket into two compartments which may be filled entirely to the level of the bottom 8 of the upper basket without the articles which are in the compartments mingling and supporting the bottom 8 of the upper basket.
\ tends vertically from the bottom of the baskets to the top of the front.
A particular corner construction is used in making the receptacle which ensures the rigidity thereof and enables the open work securely to be fastened in position. The front corner construction of the upper basket is illustrated in detail in Figs. 4 and 5. The front edges 20 of the one piece open work unit are extended and bent over as shown in Fig. 5 to lie along the front of the basket and are positioned in between the web 18 of the leg 10 and the basket front the basket front being slightly bent for th1s purpose. The
marginal sheathing along the sides ofthe baskets stops at a point 21 in the corner of the angle iron in order to provide a corner construction which is no larger than necessary but which will give a rigid construction. The open work which forms the fronts of the baskets merely extends into the corner but is not long enough to be bent over along the side of the basket. The inner angle braces 19, however, are fastened with one edge 22 under marginal sheathing of the front and the other edge 23 extending along the sides of the basket in order to provide a solid body which may be secured in position by rivets. Y
The parts of the device are securely held together by rivets. Rivets 24- and 25 are used at the upper front corners of the receptacle. Rivets 24 pass through the side webs of the angle iron le s and through-theopen work 5 and margina sheathing thereof and through the ed e23 of the inner angle brace .and are heade over againstsaid brace.
Rivets 25 pass through the front web of the angle iron and through the front edges 20 of the one piece open work unit, through the mar nal sheathing of the front and the open wor of the front and through the inner angle braces. These rivets are headed over against the marginal sheathing of the frorit. Rivets-26 are used on the rear corners of the receptacle and pass through the webs of the angle irons and through the open work and mar al sheathing of the sides and back of the askets. Y
The, construction of a lower frontfcorner of the lower; basket is illustrated in Fig. 6.
The upturned edges 11 of the basket bottom are placed next to the webs 18 of the angle iron with the lower edge of the one. piece unit lying inside of and next to the upturned edges. The open work of the basket front lies inside of and next to the front edge 20 of the one piece open work unit. Rivets 27 are used to hold the bottoms of the baskets in place and pass through the up-turned edges of the basket bottoms and webs of the angle irons. In the front of the baskets where the open work is inside of the u turned edges of the bottom, the inner ang e braces come down to the bottoms of the baskets and lie inside of the open work. Thus the rivets 27 bear on the outside against the webs of the angle irons and on the inside against the angle braces and firmly hold in place the edges of the openwork.
A receptacle having the parts above described is extremely easy to assemble. The
parts ready for assembly are shown in plan view in Fig. 3. The one piece unit which forms the back and sides of the receptacle is made up with a marginal sheathing folded over the upper edge. The division walls are made separate with the marginal sheathing in place and angles 14 and 15 riveted to them. The basket bottoms are completely formed and are of a size to exactly fit in place when the receptacle is assembled. The basket fronts are made with the sheathing in place clamped over the inner angle braces 19 which holds the angle braces in place ready for riveting.
In assembling the receptacle the open work unit is riveted at its upper end to-the two rear legs which serve to hold the unit in proper position. The lower basket unit comprising the bottom 9, front 7, and division wall 17, is next assembled and slipped into place and riveted to the legs. The upper basket unit is then assembled, put in place illld riveted to the upper part of the-front egs.
Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
1. A storage rack having upper and lower baskets and comprising four posts, two horizontal partitions supported by the posts and forming the bottoms of the baskets, a onepiece open Work unit secured to thevposts and forming the backs and ends of both baskets, separate spaced sections of open work joined to the front ed esof said oneiece unit and forming the ronts of the bas ets, the bottom of the lower basket having an upturned edge which is positioned outside of the lower edge of said one-piece unit to present a smooth, outer edge.
2.
