ROTARY CABINET Application filed Apri1 30, 1930, Serial No. 448,451. Renewed DecembenS, 1931. a V f location convenient for inspecting or getting at their contents.
In carrying out the invention, I make use of acertain style of gearing which is well known, but I have provided a novel structure. to be utilized in connection with this gearing, and in the accompanying drawings, which are to be considered in connection with the description herein, I have shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, and referring to these drawings,
Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improvement,
Figure 2 a side elevation, Figure 3 a section at the line. 3-3 of Figure 1,
Figure 1 a section at the line 4-4 of Figure 1, i
Figure 5 a section at the line 5-5 of Figure 1,
elevations showing respectively the positions of the associated partsimmediately prior to the opening of the covers, when the covers are partway opened and when the covers are fully opened,
Figure 9 is also a fragmentary side elevation illustrating the positions of the several parts immediately after the covers are closed, and
ing particularly the finger which functions to open the covers.
Similar numerals of reference denote like parts in the several figures of the drawings.
1,2, are spaced standards, and 3 is a spindle fixed at its ends to said standards, whereby the latter are held in fixed spaced relation.
1 is an elongated sleeve journaled around disks 5, 6, said disks being loose on the spindle,
Figures 6, 7 and 8 are fragmentary side.
Figure 10 is a fragmentary plan view showsaid spindle and secured at its extremities to so that the sleeve and disks form what will be termed a rotary spool. I
To the spindle 3 is fixed a gear wheel 7 with which a series of pinions 8 is, in mesh and these pinions are journaled to the disk 5 by means ofpins 9. V a p l I 10 are elongated receptacles or boxes which are'in circular disposition between the disks 5 and 6, and 11,12 are trunni'onssecured in any suitable manner to the ends of these recep tacles, and to the trunnions 11 are keyed gear wheels 13 which are in meshwith the pinions 8, these trunnions 11 and 12 being journaled respectively within the disks 5 and 6, so that;
it will be clear that the boxes 10 are capable of free swinging movements. i
The gear 7 is, of course, stationary and the pinions 8 and outer gears 13 are circularly disposed around the gear 7 and extend ra di-,-
ally therefrom, and it will be clear thatwhen the disks are revolved in the direction of the arrow, the outer gears 13 will slowly revolve in. a reverse direction.
The boxes 10, as the disks are revolved,
have a tendency to tilt, but the proportion between the sizes of the gears is such that the boxes will be kept in a horizontal position at all times, due to the slow rotation of the gears 13.
Of course there are many ways of bringingabout the proper connections between the receptacles and the gears 13 and the invention is not limited in this respect.
In order to enclose all the gears andto keep dust and other foreign matter therefrom a circular closure 14 loosely assembled around the spindle 3 is secured to the disk 5 in any suitable manner.
The cabinet is intendedfor use on'a desk;
or table, and the boxes 10 will contain suitable accessories, as paper clips, fasteners, pens, pins, postage stamps, &c., and it is necessary that these boxes should normally be closed,
and therefore covers 15 are hinged as at 16 to the rear upper edgesof these boxes, and
'18 are hook members secured tothe tops of the, covers and upstanding therefrom and these members are adjacent the disk 5. v
. 19 is a rigidarm extendingjtromthe standard 1 to aplane slightly beyond the peri'phcry of the disk 5, and to the end of this arm is secured a spring fingerQOwhoseextremity terminates inv a claw 21 that overhangs the covers and is in the line of travel ofsaid hooks when the disks are rotated.
At Figurefi this claw is shown on the point of engaging with one of the hooks, and as the disks revolve the cover will beat first partly opened as seen. atFigureS, and thereafter will be fully openedasseen atFigure 18,1 in. which latter. instance the revolution of the disks is stopped sothat-the contents .of the particular receptacle selected may be easily got at, and on the continued revolution of the disks the receptacle will be carried to a plane below that ofthe clawmnd the cover Will then be automatically closed, as seen at Figure .9
It will be clear that the. securing of thesleeve to the. disks, so as to forma rotary spool, makes a .compactstructure which re volves as a unit around thestationary spindle and which is preferable over a device in which. these rotary parts are tight ona rotary spindle since the latter instancethecentral.
gear, herein termed the stationary gear, must be loose on the spindle and must. be held stationary, during the rotation'of the cabinet, 7
by special means.
What is cl'aimed:is: V
A rotary cabinet, comprising spaced standards, a connecting spindle" rigidly se-1 cured. thereto, arotary sleeve: journaled on saidspin'dle, a pair. of spaced disks secured.
to the ends of said sleeve, a central spur gear keyed to said spindle at oneend thereof, a series of pinions journaled to one of said disks in circular disposition and. meshing with said spur gear, a corresponding series 0t outer spur. gears likewise journaled to said disk. and meshing with said pinions, and receptacles between said. disks and secured at one endto the shafts of said outergears and having their other ends .2. A rotary cabinet, comprising spaced standards, d sks suitably Journaled in spaced relation between said standards, a stationary central spur gearv rigid with said standards,
a seriesot pinions journaledto one disk in circular disposition and meshing with said gear, a series ot outer spur gears journaled to v the last mentioned disk in circular disposition and meshlng with said pinions, a series of receptacles between said disks and secured at one end to said outer spur gears and pivotally carried y.
pivotally supported at the other end: by the other disk, whereby the rotation of the disks will cause the orbital movements of all of the pinions and outer gears around the stationary gear and will also cause the outer spur gears to revolve on their axes in a direction reverse. to that of the. revolution of the disks,
thereby preserving the horizontal disposition of the receptacles. I t f 3. A rotary cabinet comprlsing aframe having spaced side. pieces, a connecting spindle secured to the latter, a rotary spool journaled on said spindle and having disks secured to each end, a series of rotary spur gears journaled in circular disposition to one disk'near the periph-erythereot and meshing with a similar series of pinions journaled to.
said disk in radial disposition with respect to the spur gears,.a single spur. gear fixed on said spindle andmeshing with said pinions,
and-receptacles respectively secured at. one
end to said rotary spur gears, the other ends otsaid receptacles being pivoted within the opposite disk. r
4:. A construction as in claim 3, with the addition that said receptacles have; spring actuated covers which are provided with up standing hooks, .and a spring finger issecured to the side piece adj acent the disk whichcarries said gears and terminates in a claw which overhangs said covers and is in the 'lineof travel of said hooks when thespool is rotated, whereby said hooks will engage said claw and open the covers while the. continued rotation of the spool will release the 5. A rotary cabinet, comprising spacedstandards, a spindle whose ends are fixed thereto, an elongated rotary sleeve journaled around said spindle, a pair of disks secured to the ends of said sleeve and rotary therewith, a series of receptacles circularly disposed and having their ends pivoted to said disks, spring closed covershinged to said receptacles and having upstanding hook-like members near one end of each cover, means for preserving the horizontal disposition of said receptacles during the rotation of the hereto. 7 v I v JONATHAN GODFREY.
