IMPROVEMENT IN OFFICE-DESKS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 172,362, dated January 18, 1876; application led June 28, 1875.
. and State of Indiana,have invented a new and useful Improvement in OfceDesks, of
which the following is a full and complete specification,reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
The object of my invention is to utilize more of the desk for the purpose of shelving and pigeon-holes than is available in the usual 'methods ofconstruction, and, at the same time, render the portion devoted to such use convenient and easy ot' access to the occupant. The general form ot' my desk is like, or similar to, the cabinet office-desk in com mon use, having,I a recess in front. 1
To accomplish my object I locate in the wings or ends ofthe desk-cases or chests of a rectangular shape, provided with shelves or pigeon-holes, as may be desired, as shown at A in the front elevation of Figure l. At the other end or Wing of the desk the chest or case is shown as when closed. These chests or cases, as shown in the end elevation of Fig. 2, and also iu the plan view of Fig. 3, are hinged` or pivoted (c and c)at a point about central of their greatest width to the end paneling of the desk,
nearly all the space at the ends ot' the desk yis utilized for the purpose desired.
Thus it is apparent that the occupant of the desk can, from his seat, readily swing` open the chests or cases, presenting them to him in a position accessible to their contents, or as readily close them.
The front portion ot' the paneling, that incloses the central space of the desk, is on a curve, as shown at B and B', Fig. 3., to accommodate it to the circular movement of the chests or cases. The central portion D may be use d for shelving` or pigeon-holes, as in the ordinary cabinet-desk.
What I claim isrIhe hinged or pivoted chests or cases A-and A, located in the wings or ends of the desk, and operating substantially iu the manner described, for the purpose set forth.
