Description

Sept. 23, 1941. 'A. F. GROSSE DRAWING BOARD Filed April 1, 1940 I INVENTOR.
BY W 8;
ATTORNEY.
Patented Sept. 23, 1941 uirso 4 Claims.
This invention relates to a drawing board receptacle and has reference to one particularly adapted for use by children in tracing or copying pictures, drawings, or the like.
Th principal object of the invention is to provide as simple and inexpensive, as well as practical, a device of this character as possible.
Another. object is to provide such a device with a combined glass retainer, paper holder, and pencil tray.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear in the following description thereof.
Referring now to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this application and wherein like reference characters indicate like parts:
Figure 1 is a relatively small plan view of one of the devices, illustrating two thicknesses of paper thereupon, but partly broken away.
Figure 2 is an enlarged broken vertical section longitudinally of the receptacle.
Figure 3 is a top plan view of one of the uppermost corners of the receptacle.
Figure 4 is a broken plan view of the illuminating unit for the receptacle.
In the drawing, I represents the bottom of the receptacle which is preferably constructed of suitable sheet metal, 2 and 3 represent the side walls of same and 4 and 5 the higher and lower end walls respectively. In the preferred form of constructing the device, the walls thereof as well as the bottom are formed of a single blank, with the side and end walls overlapping each other at the corners as desired, but having the uppermost edges of all of the walls turned inwardly forming a flange-like projection; for example, the lower end wall 5 is flanged inwardly as at 6 and the side walls are flanged inwardly as at 1-'l, while the higher end wall 4 is flanged inwardly as at 8 but somewhat lower than and spaced a distance equal to the thickness of the glass below the flanges l of the side walls. Inwardly and below these flanges 1-4 and attached to the side walls 2 and 3 are narrow angles indicated at 9 which are fixed to the side walls in any desired manner, thus forming suitable channels or rabbets for convenient slidable insertion of the glass top of the receptacle indicated at H). Similarly, to the inner face of the lower end wall 5 is also attached an angle strip ll forming a like rabbet in conjunction, with these formed on the side walls and to receive the lower edge of the glass II! when inserted in the device. It is thus seen that the flange 8 of the higher end wall 4 is of a height to register with so that the glass Ii] is readily slid over and upon the flange 8 of the higher end wall when desired.
This higher nd wall 4 furthermore removably supports the unitary combination glass retainer, paper clamp, and pencil holder, it being removably held to the wall as by a pair of Parker screws indicated at l3 so that this novel unit may readily be removed at any time'and the glass slid out for access to the interior of the receptacle for any purpose whatever, such as cleaning or renewal of the glass, attention to the lamp, or the like.
One form of illuminating the interior of the One of the novel features of the invention is the unitary element l2, this being further characterized by being constructed of spring like material with the forward edge portion l5 thereof extending forwardly and upwardly to function as a convenient handle like portion for raising same during the insertion of, for'example, the
paper 16 carrying the delineation to be traced and also the paper l'l thereupon on which the tracing is contemplated. This element l2 eX- tending entirely across the upper end of the receptacle and the paper thereunder insures the paper being held in a flat, smooth position over the glass, facilitating accurate tracing.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is:
1. An inclined drawing board of the type described comprising in combination a sheet metal body portion having integral sides and a lowermost end wall and a higher end walL-said end walls having inwardly turned end flanges to which said side walls are attached, said sides and lowermost end having inwardly flanged uppermost edges to form a narrow border thereabouts, an inwardly turned flange member integral with the upper edge of said higher end wall, narrow angles aligned with said last mentioned flange and spaced from said first mentioned flanges to form a rabbet therebetween about the upper edges of three of the Walls of said body, a glass closure slidable within saidrabbets and over the flange of said higher end wall, a light fixed within the upper end of said body, and a unitary glass retainer, paper clamp and pencil holder removably attached to said higher end the inwardly extending portions of the angles 9 wall, and extending entirely across the same,
whereby to hold a sheet of paper in fiat position against said glass closure.
2. A childs drawing board comprising in combination a relatively low walled rectangular receptacle having a lowermost end wall and a higher end wall, and opposed sid walls provided with inwardly facing marginal rabbets, said lowermost end wall also provided with a like rabbet longitudinally thereof registering with said side rabbets, a slidable glass closure forming the top of said receptacle and adapted to be slid into said rabbets over the higher end wall, and a combined glass retainer, paper clamp and pencil holder removably attached to said higher end wall and overlapping the upper edge of said higher end wall, and extending entirelyacross fiat position against said glass closure.-
3. A childs drawing board comprising in conibination a relatively low walled rectangular receptacle having a lowermost end wall and a higher end wall, and opposed side walls, a rabbet formed adjacent the upper edges of the side walls and the lowermost end wall, a glass removably held within said rabbet and forming the top of said receptacle, and a unitary glass retainer, paper clamp and pencil holder removably attached to said higher end wall and overlapping the upper edge of said higher end wall entirely across the same for removably retaining said glass in position, and holding a sheet of'paper in flat position against said glass closure.
4. The combination substantially as set forth in claim 3, said receptacle provided with a source ADOLPH F. GROSSE.
