Application November 8, 1937, Serial No. 173,437
2 Claims.
My invention relates to improvements in cabinets and more particularly although not exclusively to that type having a swinging door, which is adapted to be built into a wall structure and in which certain useful facilities are provided. The primary object of the invention is to provide a cabinet which has incorporated into its structure means for greater convenience in shaving and applying cosmetics or other preparations.
A further object is to provide a cabinet having a swinging door and a shelf for holding implements and supplies and which is adapted to extend from the cabinet when needed and while the door of the. cabinet is closed or to fold into the cabinet when not in use.
A still further object is to provide a mirror on the cabinet which can be extended from the cabinet when needed at any selected elevation desired or folded into the cabinet when not in use.
These objects are attained while theshelf and mirror are extended from the cabinet simultaneously and while the cabinet door is either open or closed thus leaving the usual mirror on the cabinet door free to function at all times.
To these ends my invention comprises the features of construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, Fig. 1 is a perspective view of my improved cabinet in open position, the folding shelf and folding mirror being shown in closed position; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of my improved cabinet when the folding shelf and folding mirror are extended after the cabinet door has been opened and again closed; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a detail showing the shelf; Fig. 4 is a section of a detail taken on line 44 of Fig. 1, when the door is closed; Fig. 5 is a section of a detail taken on line 55 of Fig. 1, showing the construction by which the mirror on the inner face of the door is fastened; Fig. 6 is a section of a detail taken on line 66 of Fig. 1; Fig. '7 is a section of a detail taken on line 1-1 of Fig. 1, showing the construction by which the catch rod for the inner folding mirror is retained on the door; Fig. 8 is a section of a detail taken on line 8-8, showing the construction by which the inner folding mirror is detachably fastened to its catch rod; Fig. 9 is a section of a detail showing an alternative construction of the folding shelf structure, and Fig. 10 is a section of a detail showing an alternative construction of the inner folding mirror structure.
In the drawings, A indicates the body of my improved cabinet and B the door which is secured to the body by the hinge Ill. The body is formed with a channel shaped rectangular margin H which surroundstheopen front of the body, reinforces its strength and produces a close bond with plaster when the device is built'into a plaster 5 wall. The door also has its back formed with a channel shaped outer margin I2 which reinforces its strength and secured by clips l3 or other suitable means to said margin (see Fig. 5) is a bevel edge plate glass mirror 14, of usual construction. 10
The cabinet is particularly adapted for use in frameis secured by one of its corners to the marginal band ll of the cabinet through the use of a hinge 18 which is so disposed as to cause the shelf to swing horizontally into or out of the cabinet. The position of the hinge I8 is near the lower corner .of the cabinet or at any elevation desired on the side of the cabinet opposite the doorhinge l0 and substantially at the forward corner of the shelf farthest away from hinge l9 and opposite thereto when the shelf is folded into the cabinet so that when the shelf swings out it assumes a position away from in front of the cabinet and adjoining the face of the wall such as E, in which the cabinet is mounted, asshown in Fig. 2. The lower corner of the outer free end of the door is formed with a recess encased by the shell H! (see Fig. 4), which receives the shelf hinge and allows the shelf to remain in extended position outside of the cabinet while the door is fully closed. This encasement protects the hinge from observation when the door is closed. A wire bracket 20 on the frame of the shelf serves to support a shaving brush or other article in elevated position. By constructing the cabinet and. its door in conjunction with the folding shelf in the manner stated, articles used for shaving or other purposes are supported outside the cabinet in convenient position for use while the mirror I4 is employed for its usual purpose when the door is closed and when not in use the shelf, while supporting said articles can be folded horizon tally into the cabinet out of the way.
Cooperating with the cabinet is an auxiliary folding mirror D, which is held within a marginal frame 25. This frame is supported by a vertical 55.
When both the shelf 0 and folding mirror D are extended as shown in Fig. 2 and the cabinet door closed a particularly new and useful service is rendered by the simultaneous use of the main mirror, the magnifying folding mirror and the folding shelf, all of which are available simultaneously.
When desired, the shelf C can be secured to the back of the free end of the door B by a hinge 35 (see Fig. 9), instead of to the body A and made to swing outwardly in a horizontal plane and beyond the door when the latter is closed as indicated by the full line position. Also when desired the folding mirror can be secured to the margin II of the cabinet body by the hinge 36 (see Fig. 10), instead of to the door, and made to swing horizontally either into folded position in the cabinet immediately back of the door or outwardly into the full line position to one side of the cabinet and above the shelf. These and other modifications are within the spirit of my invention.
In accordance with the patent statutes, I have described the principles of operation of my invention together with the construction thereof which I now consider to represent the best embodiment thereof but I desire to have it understood that the structure shown is only illustrative and that the invention can be carried out by other means and applied to uses other than those above set forth within the scope of the following claims.
I claim:
1. In a wall cabinet, a body provided with an open front, a door hinged to the body and adapted to swing horizontally and close the front of said body, a shelf having a marginal frame hinged to a portion of the body opposite said hinged connection with said door and permitted to swing horizontally outwardly from the body when the door is open, said hinged frame having a lower inturned marginal flange and a floor supported by said flange and said door having an encased opening over the hinge of the shelf permitting the door to close when the shelf is in either extended or folded position.
2. In a wall cabinet, having a body open in adapted to swing horizontally and close the front of said body, a shelf hinged to an outer edge of the side of the body near the free edge of the door when the latter is closed, adapted to swing horizontally outwardly from the body when the door front, a door hinged to one side of the body and
