JOHN w. WARREN, or ELK airy, oK ArIoMA TOILET CABINET Application filed September 5, 1928. Serial No. 304,051.

The present invention is directed to improvements in toilet cabinets.

The primary object of the invention is to providea device of this character so constructed that it can beconveniently secured to awall for supporting 'varioustoilet arti cles. I

Another object of the invention is to provide a cabinet of this nature which is simple in construction and so arranged that toilet articles, such as brushes and combs, soap, tumblers, toot-h brushes, towels and other toilet articles can be supported for convenient access.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which is formed wholly from sheet metal.

With these and other objectsin view, this invention resides in the novel features of construction, formation, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device. 1

Figure 2 is a sectional view on line 22 of gagedthe pintles 21 carried by the ends of a Figure 1. V

Figure 3 is a sectional view on line 3'3 of Figure 1. s

Figure 4 is a sectional view on line 4.41of Figure 1. e r M i Figure 5 is a sectional view on line 5-5Vof Figure 2.

Figure 6 is a sectional view on line 66 of Figure 2. v r The cabinet consists of spaced sides 1, the rear edges thereof terminating in flanges 2 through which securingdevices are passed for supporting the cabinet upon a wall. The lower ends of the sides terminatein forwardly directed extensions 3, the lower edges of which are provided with inturned horizontal flanges 3'.

A shelf 4 is employed and has fixed longitudinally thereunder a bar 5, the ends of which terminate in trunnions 6 for rotatably engaging the bearings 7 formed in the sides 1, the shelf, when in its operative positionresting upon the flanges 3. 1

An elongated tray 8 is arranged between the "sides 1 and hasv its end walls 9 secured by rivets to the sides. The front wall 10 of the tray has secured thereto aresilient clamp 11 adaptedto engage the forward edge ofthe shelffil when the same is swung upwardly, as shown in dotted lines in Figure 3 of thedrawings.

1 Arranged above the tray 8 is a strip 12, the endrfianges 13 of which are securedto the sides 1; Fixed to the central portion of the strip is a resilient sheet metal arm 14 having apluralityof seats 15 formed. therein, the

purpose .of which will be later explained- Fixed to the upper ends of the sides 1 are the horizontally disposed plates 16, the inner ends of which terminate in vertical plates 17 which have their lower ends fixed to the shelf 12 .in spaced relation. 1 By providing the plates 16 andl7 compartments 18 are formed in whi'chutooth brush holders, drinking glasses, shaving mugs, and the like can be conveniently placed therein, there being resilient;

clamps 19..carried by the plates 16 for sup-1 porting tooth brushes Supportedby the opposed faces of the plates 171-117' are bearings 20 in which are enthe mirror22.'"- It will, of course, be understood that, desired, the mirror may be supported-in a,franie, and. the trunnions fixed to the-frame. :Obviously, the mirror can be heldlin: various inclined positions upon engaging the lower edge thereof in selected seats 15of the arm 14. r

.Hooks'23 are secured to the sides 1 adjacent the upper ends thereof and upon which may besuspehdedtowels or wash cloths.

The tray is primarily designed for holdingsoap, brushes and combs, while the shelf 1 may be usedfor supporting various toilet articles when being used, and since the shelf can be swung upwardly when not in use, a person can stand close to the mirror.

From the foregoing, it is thought that the construction, operation and many advantages of the herein described invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art, without further description, and it will be understood that various changes'in'the size, shape, and proportion and minor details of construction may be resorted to without de-- parting from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of t e invention.

1. A cabinet of the class described comprising spaced sides, a stri sup orted between thesides, horizontal p tes ted to the sides, vertical platessecured to the horizontal plates and to the strips and definingcompartments, a mirror pivotally supported by the vertical plates, and means carried by'the 7 strip for holding the mirror in variousadjusted positions.

2. A cabinet of the'class described comprising a pair of sides, extensions carried by the sides, flanges on the extensions, a shelf pivotally supported between the extensions and normally engaged with the flanges to hold the shelf'in its. operative position, a tray supportedby the sides, and a .cIasp. carried by the tray. for engaging the shelf toholdxtha same in its inoperative position.

3. A cabinet pf the class. described, col}?- prisin a.- airo sides a stri .su rted and be twe nrthesidesjhorizo iital iiifd cal plates secured, respectively,to the Sides and strip. and. defining compartments, a. re.
