To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HELWIG SGHIER, of

- the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Wall-Pocket,

NVriting-Desk, and Toilet-Glass, which invention is fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which-- Figure 1 represents the device when in its normal position. Fig. 2 is a transverse section. Fig. 3 is a transverse section when arranged for a writing-desk. I Fig. 4 is a similar section when arranged for sharing or other toilet purposes. 7

.frame, in the center of which is secured a wallpocket, B. Beneath this wall-pocket-is placed a drawer, O, and to a ledge, D, below said drawer is hinged a frame, E, in which is secured a toilet-glass, F. The upper portion of the main frameA forms a book-rack, G, andits lower part forms a shelf, H, which is furnished with a drawer,.I The sides of the main frame form panels J for the-reception of looking-glasses or for any other purpose. and beneath these panels are brackets K, for the reception of articles of ornament, or any other article. The toilet-glass F'swings onpivots a a, which have their hearings in the sides of .the frame E, and it can be secured in position by passing a pin through the top crossbar of said frame, said pin being made to catch in the top cross-bar of the frame of the toiletglass, or any other suitable device may be used for this purpose. When the toilet-glass is turned up to the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2, it, together with the frame E, can be fastened to the front of the wall-pocket by a suitable catch or latch. When this latch is raised or removedthe frame'E, together with the toilet glass, turns down to the position shown in Fig. 3, where the same are supported by the shelf H, and the back of the toiletglass forms a convenient writing-desk,said

back being covered for this purpose with clothor other suitable material. By releasing the top of the toilet-glass from the top of the frame E, said toilet-glass can be turned to any desired position--such, for instance, as shown in Fig. 4, and it can be used conveniently for shaving or for other toilet purpose. 7

The drawertfi beneath the wall-pocket is intendedpartic ularlyfor the reception of pen,

ink, and paper, and if the toilet-glass is turned up to the position shown in Fig. 1' saiddrawer is concealed, but if the toilet-glass is turned down to be used as awriting-desk, convenient access. can be had to the contents of this drawer. i

' The furniture above described may be provided with feet, so that it can stand on the floor, or it may be made without feet and fastened to the wall.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure I by Letters Patent, is- Y The combination, with the main frame A,

of a wall-pocket, B, hinged frame E, toiletglass F, and shelf H, whereby said toiletglass can be turned up to the face of the wallpocket, or turned down to form a writing-desk,

substantially-as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 8th day of February, 1876.
