HIRAM SMITH, OF J'AMESTOWN, NEW YORK.
IMPROVEMENT IN FOLDING WARDROBES.
Specification'forming part of Letters Patent No. 172,513, dated January 18, 1876; application filed May 14, 1875.
T 0 all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, HIRAM SMITH, of J amestown, county of Chautauqua, State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Wardrobes, of which the following is a specification:
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents an elevation of the front of the wardrobe. Fig. 2 represents the side elevation. Fig. 3 represents a plan of a rib or frame for holding the wardrobehooks. Fig. 4 shows a plan of a shelf, the frame or rib of which also holds hooks to hang clothing upon.
The letters a a or represent the face-casings of Fig. 1. I) b b I) represent the ribs of the frame in Fig. 2. 0 represents the upright standard, as shown in Fig. 2. 01 represents the shelf, as shown in Fig.4. 0 e c'represent the butts or hinges, as shown in Fig. 3. The dotted lines f, as represented in Fig. 2, show the position of the wardrobe when folded. The ribs of the frame I), as shown in Fig. 2, are secured to the back of the face-casing a by suitable hinges 6. these hinges being on the top of the rib or bar. These ribs are secured at the other end to the upright standard c by hinges" e, which are placed on the lower side of ribs 12. This, when desired, allows the whole frame, which is represented by Fig. 2, to fold upward closely against the front elevation shown in Fig.1 by the dotted lines.
The accompanying drawing represents a wardrobe for the corner of a room; but the principle is intended to apply to a. square wardrobe for the side of a room, also.
The distinguishing feature of my invention is the construction of a skeleton frame for a wardrobe, so that it may be folded closely together, in order that it may take up very little room in transportation.
Moreover, its peculiar construction requires but comparatively a small amount of lumber, making it light and cheap. These wardrobes may be varied in material or design.
Having thus described my invention, I claim-- The folding wardrobe consisting of the facecasing a, standard 0, and ribs 1), connected together by hinges c, all constructed substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
HIRAM SMITH.
