UNITED STATES JAMES P. DUNN, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
SHOE-SHINING CABINET.
Application filed January 19, 1926. Serial No. 82,813.
My invention relates to a new article of manufacture comprising a shoe shining cabinet, wherein a foot support may be moved or projected to ahorizontal operative position to support a foot and shoe thereon being polished, and also adapted to be moved within said cabinet to an inoperative position and to be retained in said position by the closed door of the cabinet, said support being also arranged to render accessible an open box of shoe polish detachably mounted thereon, when in an operative position and to automatically close said box of polish when said foot support is moved to a closed position. i I The primary object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved article of manufacture comprising a shoe shining cabinet.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved shoe shining wall cabinet arranged to automatically render accessible an open box or can of shoe polish when the cabinet is opened for use, and to also automatically close said box or can of shoe polish when said wall cabinet is closed, to prevent evaporation of the contents of the box of polish, during the period it is not required for use.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a new article of manufacture of the character described which may be inserted between the studding of a wall, and thus form a wall cabinet for shoe shining purposes, which will be practically flush with the wall and thereby occupy a minimum of space.
I accomplish these and other objects by means of the improved device disclosed in the drawings forming apart of the present specification wherein like characters of reference are used to designate similar parts throughout the said specification and drawings, and in which Fig. 1 is a front elevation of my improved shoe shining wall cabinet, partly broken and with the door open and the foot support in an inoperative position within said cabinet;
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1, in the direction indicated, but with the door of the cabinet closed port disclosed extended to an operative position;
Fig. 4 is a broken vertical. sectional view of the lower portion only of the cabinet, as shown in Fig. 2, but with the door open and the foot support extended to a horizontal or operative position; and
Fig. 5 is an enlarged broken sectional View disclosing the manner in which an open can of shoe polish is detachably mounted upon the upper surface of the said support.
Referring to the drawings the numeral 1 is used to designate-in general, a wall cabinet arranged to be inserted and supported between two adjacent studs 2 of a wall or the like, as disclosed in Fig. 3 of the drawings.
he back wall 3 of the cabinet 1 has the lower edge thereof arranged in spaced relation with the lower end 4 of the cabinet, the purpose of which will hereinafter be more fully set forth. A suitable cross-bar, 6 is arranged across the lower front portion of the cabinet 1, as disclosed in Figs. 2 and 4c of the drawings, and the upper edge or end of said cross-bar is arranged slightly below the lower edge or end of the back wall 3 of the cabinet 1.
A suitable foot support 7, having the usual shoulder 8 against which the heel of a shoe, not shown, is placed when said shoe is being shined, is pivotally mounted within the cabinet 1 as at 9, said pivotal point being positioned betweenthe top edge of the cross bar 6 and the bottom edge of the back wall 3, the purpose of which will hereinafter be more fully described.
This foot 7 is arranged-to be projected or extended vertically on its pivot 9 to an operatix e position as disclosed in Figs. 3 and a in which position the rear end of said support 7 will bear upon the lower edge of the rear wall 3 while the portion of said support in front of its pivotal point 9 will rest upon the upper edge of the cross bar which becomes a fulcrum. Thus is the foot support 7 rigidly supported while in a horizontal or operative position. When moved its pivot 9 to assume a vertical or operative position within the cabinet 1 the said support 7 rests approximately midway between the cross bar 6 and the back wall 8 of the cabinet 1.
The footsupport 7 has detachably mounted thereon one or more holders 11 provided with circular apertures 12 of different diameters to receive standard boxes or cans 1d of shoe polish, as disclosed in Figs. 2, 3, 1-. and of the drawings. As disclosed in greater detail in Fig. 5 oil the drawings these holders 11 have their apertures 12 of a diameter large enough to receive the body of the box H but slightly smaller than the diameters of the annular flanges 16 with which such boxes or cans lei. are usually supplied. The holders ll engage the boxes ll above the flanges 16 thereon and thereby ett'ectivelv retain said boxes it accessible upon the upper surtaee of the foot support 7 when the same is extended horizontall as disclosed in Figs. 3 and 4. ot the drawii'igs.
The holders 11 have their edges slidably and detachably engaging suitable flanged members 17 mounted upon the foot support T in order to facilitate renewal of exhausted shoe polish boxes let.
The back wall of the cabinet 1 is provided with a suitable resilient cushion 18 against which the upper edge of the open boxes 1-l are pressed when the support 7 is raised or moved to an inoperative position within the cabinet 1 as disclosed in F ig. 2 of the drawings, thereby effectively and automatically closing said boxes it when the said support is moved to an inoperative position and during the period the polish is not required.
In order to insure retention of the inoperative position of the foot support 7 and the consequent retention of the open ends of the boxes 14: against the. cushion 18, during the period the cabinet is not being used, a rubber or other resilient material button 19 is fastened to the under side ot the outer or tree end of the said support 7 which button 19 then becomes positioned between the said support 7 and the inside surface of a suitable door 21 hingedly mounted upon and arranged to close the cabinet 1, when said support 7 is raised or moved to an inoperative position. as disclosed in Fig. 2 of the drawings. This rubber or resilient button 18 also serves, being pressed by the inner side of the door 21 when closed, to automatically retain a constant pressure of the shoe polish cans or boxes 14 against the cushion 18 and thereby effectively close said cans or boxes 14 when not in use.
In operation the door 21 is opened and the foot support 7 is lowered or moved to a horizontal or operative position as disclosed in Figs. 3 and -'l of the drawings. thereby moving the open ends of the shoe polish boxes 14 away from the cushion 18 and auton'iaticallv rendering said boxes of shoe polish accessible for use.
fitter the operation of shining or polishing the shoes has been completed the foot support 7 is again moved to an inoperative position and the open ends or .l'aces o'l' said boxes are autoniatically moved, against the cushion ill to close said. boxes.
The door 21 is then closed so that the inner surface thereof engages the resilient button ltl on the adjacent face ol. the inoperatively positioned foot support: 7 and presses the open ends of said cans or boxes more tightly onto the cushion in lo ellectively close the said cans and thereby prevent evaporation oil. the contents of said. cans or boxes 14:.
