AMOS K. HOFFMEIER, OF LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA.
KITCHEN TABLE.
SPEGIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 229,533, dated July 6, 1880.
Application filed January 31, 1880.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, AMos K. HOFFMEIER, of the city and county of Lancaster, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Kitchen Tables,of which the following is a specification.
This improvement relates to an article of household or kitchen furniture.
The accompanying drawings, with the letters of reference marked thereon, and a brief description, will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the combined sink and the table-leaves turned back against the wall. Fig. 2 is a front view, showing the top folded lengthwise by having the wings hinged to the front and rear edge of the table proper and centrally locked to it, forming, as it were, a double-top ironing-table. Fig. 3 shows the same top with the wings hinged crosswise-tbat is, to the side endsof the top and laid out, greatly increasing the length. Fig. 4 shows the locking-button that unites both wings when folded in on the top, meeting centrally. Fig. 5 shows the turn-button, catch, and catch-plate.
The body B of the sink, with its cupboardshelves, doors 0, and drawers D, is an ordidinary cabinet style, with the exceptions that near each corner of the sink-box are perforations through the side pieces, as also through ledges G, underneath the table-top E. These ledges set over the ends of the sink, and the perforations in them and the sink correspond, so as to receive the pins J, which firmly connect the top at four points to the top of the sink B. To turn this top (or, rather, double top) back, as shown, the two front pins, J, are withdrawn, when the combined top locked together will turn back on the other or rear pins, J, as upon a pivot or fulcrum.
A turn button, I, is seen, which passes through the top E, having on two sides projections 'i, which enter a slot in the wood, and a notched plate, K, on each edge, centrally of the wings F F, hinged to E, as seen on the front edge, by hinges f.
His a turn-bar on a central pin or pivot. It shows a pin to check the turn-bar in its motions in one direction. In this position the table occupies but little space comparatively. When turned down with the wings folded it is of sufficient size for an ironing-table and admirably adapted to that use. Then, by unlocking the wings and turning out the supporting-bars H for the wings to rest upon, an ordinary sized breakfast -table is produced. Thus the width of the table-top is doubledthat is, three by four feet to that of six by four feet-the pins J being made to enter through the ledges G and sink so as to leave a clear space for the turn-bar H on its pivot h to turn in at one end, over the upper edge of the sink, and out centrally under the wings F F on their respective sides.
If it is desirable that the same top of three by four should extend to form a dining-table, it is only necessary to hinge the wings along the ends of the top, or crosswise, and meet and lock centrally in like manner. In that case, when extended, the table will be four by eight feet. The supporting-bars H slide in a keeper out from the ends in that case; but in both cases the wings fold on the top E, and meet centrally, where they are locked in like manner, and the turn or sliding bars are attached to the under side of the top E and enter over the sink in the alloted space, so as to be substantially the same, except the change of size and form of the open table when opened out.
I am aware that in Patent No. 214,271 a combined table is shown hinged directly to the sink, supported on four legs, which also has a receptacle with drawers and. doors, claimed as a new article of manufacture. Such a construction I do not claim.
What I deem my invention as a new article to the trade is- The table-top E, having lock or turn-button I, in combination with wings F F, hinged to the top E on opposite sides, so as to fold upward and inward and meet in the center of the top E, with lock-plates K, the Whole arranged as and for the purpose specified.
