UNIZI'ED STATES PATENT OFFlCE TOILET CABINET Harris Katzman, Brooklyn, N. Y.

Application September 18, 1931, Serial No. 563,478 4 Claims. (or. 312-112) My invention relates to toilet cabinets, preferably of the inbuilt type, for use in bath room. beauty parlors, barber shops, dressing rooms, or

4 the like, and the same has for its object to prov vide a simple, efiicient and convenient device which may be readilyextended for use, or folded into a compact condition.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the character specified in which the closures for certainof the compartments thereof constitute mirrors adapted to be swung outwardly to allow lateral views of the person using the device.

t Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the character specified in which fixed and relatively adjustable mirrors cooperate in enabling full view of the person using the device.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the character specified in which the mirrors thereof are arranged to allow front and lateral views of the person without obstructing the compartments containing articles to be used while looking into the mirrors.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the character specified in which a table for supporting articles while the mirrors are in use is foldably connected with the cabinet.

Other objects will in part be obvious and in part be pointed out hereinafter.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a perspective of one form of device constructed according to and embodying my said invention;

Fig. 2 is a section thereof on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; and

Fig- 3 is a section thereof on the line 3-8 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawing, the cabinet 10 preferably comprises lateral compartments 12 and an intermediate compartment 14 providing a shelf 16 and having a fixed mirror 18 at the back the reflectors thereof on the inside. and so as to close the compartments 12 as shown at Fig. 3.

If so desired, additional compartments, such as the drawers 32, may be provided below compartments 12 and 14 for receiving various articles.

The cabinet 10 is also provided with a foldable table 34 hinged at 36 on a horizontal axis at the lower forward edge of the cabinet, and adapted when extended to support various articles when the cabinet is being used. The table 34 is preferably foldable downwardly into a horizontal position below the cabinet and is held projected by the usual toggle. brace or braces 38 connected to a. member 40 secured by screw or bolts 42 to an anchoring member 44 embedded in the wall A, the cabinet 10 preferably being of the inbuilt type received into a recess in said wall. If so desired, the member 40 can be secured to or be integral with the cabinet 10 to assist in retaining the latter in place. The usual light 46 is provided in the compartment 14. A plug-in socket 48 is also provided in one of the compartments 12 for connection of various electrical devices.

In my invention, I provide a relatively fixed mirror '18 at the rear of the compartment 14 which can be looked into without interfering with the handling of the articles on the shelf 16. The movable mirrors 20 may be readily extended to cooperate with the mirror 18, the mirrors 20 allowing in the extended positions thereof access to the side compartments. The table 34 may be readily extended for use and is rigidly held extended supported from the wall through mem- 7 her 40.

Having thus'descrlbed my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
