o vs'rA'ras EBLEY E. MIIIZILIEJR',v 0E MIDDLETOWN, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE MIAMI CABINET 1 COMPANY, A lCORPORATION' 0F OHIO CABINET application mea 0mm- 15, 192s. serial my. 312,418.

Myinvention relates to wall cabinets and 1s articularly addressed to'providing a wall cabinet with means whereby articles suoli as razor blades and similar waste articles which cannot safely be left lying around may be" easily disposed of.

In the drawings Fig. 1 is a front v iew of a cabinet showing door open. Fig. 2 1s 'an enlarged cross section the central portion o f which has been removed, and Fig. 3 is a. similar view to Fig. 2 showin a modificatlon.

In the drawings, A is t e back of the cabinet, B is the door and C is the sides. As shown the cabinet is made of metal although any desired material could be used, but in making it of metal the outer edge of the sides and top and bottom C are'bent in rectangular form so as to form the bead or edge D to which the door B is attached as shown in Fig. l by the hinges F. In placing these cabinets it is usual to place them so that they are attached to studdin-g Gr with the beading D as the only portion that extends beyond the wall. In other words, the cabinets are usually embedded in the wall in this way. On the back wall of the cabinet over an opening I attach` a plate'Hf;

Fig. 1- having its upper portion free but adapted to rest against the back C of the,I cabinet is provided, the lower portion o'f the' late being bent so as to be parallel to the ottom of the drawer and is spot welded to the bottom of the drawer at O. As will be seen this plate has the portion J and the opening K through which the blades or other art'c es may be passed, and they drop into a' compartment P from which they can be removed by taking out the drawer and slightl drawing the plateH away from the back en The plate being metal plate can be readily drawn back and will when released after all the articles have been dropped out of the compartment return to its normal position.

Claims:

l. In a cabinet, walls, one of said walls provided with a portion arranged obliquely to the wall proper and a connecting portion betgtyeen such oblique portion and wall propsuitably held as shown by rivets II. This were lsuch last mentioned portin being proplate is stamped so that it has a portion J 'extending out from the back of the lcabinet'.

at an oblique angle to the back and a pprtion at right angle to the back asaelearly yshol'vn in Fig. 2. In the, portion J forming the right angle I provide an opening K extending across the stamped portion J. This opening is arranged in the back of the cabinet so that it comes between the studding to which the cabinet is attached and waste articles, such as razor blades, dropped through the opening K, pass between the walls of the building and are there deposited to remain until the buildingis destroyed or the walls removed. This entirely disposes of such articles. In Fig. 3 I have shown a modification in which I provide, suitably arranged in the bottom of jvided* with an opening for the passage of articles into a space outside o* the cabinet andbacktpf a wall upon which it is mounted. 2. In a cabinet having back, top, bottom and side walls, one of said walls having an opening therein, a plate mounted upon said wall to cover said opening, said plate composedsof a portion arranged parallel to the wall and fixedly secured thereto, a portion of said plate arranged at an oblique angle to said wall forming a guide into the opening through the wall to permit passage of articles into a space back of said wall.

3. In a cabinet having back, top, bottom and side walls, one of said walls having an opening therein, a plate mounted upon said wall to cover said opening, said plate composed of a portion arranged parallel to the Wall and ixedly secured thereto, a portion of said plate arranged at an oblique angle to said Wall, a portion of said plate Connecting said oblique portion and the Wall, said last mentioned portion having an opening therein, said oblique portion forming a guide into said last mentioned opening.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification.
