' IMPROVEMENT m STANDS 0R TABLES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 176,889, dated May 2, 1876; applicationfiled February 12, 1876.
,T0all whom it may concern:
1 Be it known that I,'EDWARD PHILLIPS, of
Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of My object is to make an article of furniture which may be used with convenience as a writing-desk, and also for various other purposes; and to that end my invention consists in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts, substantially as hereinafter set forth.
In the drawing, A'represents an ordinary stand.- B is a drawer arranged in the upper part of the stand. This drawer is divided into compartments 0 c, adapted to contain inkstan'ds, pens, pencils, and other writing utensils. In the -central part of the drawer is a large compartment adapted to contain writingpaper, envelopes, and other writing materials. This compartment is covered by means of a lid, B, flush with the upper part of the draw er, and hinged thereto near the rear end there-- of, as shown at b. This lid may be covered, as shown at B, with velvet or other suitable material, and this material may constitute the hinge on which the lid swings when raised and lowered. A small finger --piece, 01, sufficiently large to be grasped with convenience,
' should be fastened to the lid to facilitate the in Fig. 2.
In order to prevent the writing-desk thus constructed and arranged from being wholly and accidentally drawn from the stand, I attach to the rear end of the drawer B two .cleats or stops, 6 e, projecting laterally from the sides thereof. so as to strike the vertical and forward posts 6 e of the frame of the stand, as represented by the broken lines in Fig. 1, and the back of the stand should be provided with a removable piece, 0, so that access to the stops may be had for the purpose of removing them to enable the drawer When the desk is not being used it may be pushed into the stand out ofthe way, and the stand and desk together then occupy no more space in the room than an ordinary stand alone.
This combination makes a" cheap, compact, and useful article of furniture, which may be used with great advantage in small rooms, and when the expense of a separate stand and desk would be more than those desiring both would be willing to pay.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- In a stand or table, the drawer B, provided with the hinged lid B and with the rear stops 6 e, in combination with the removable .backpiece G, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
EDWARD PHILLIPS.
