INKSTAND ATTACHMENT TOR WRITING DESKS. No. 249,892. Patented Nov. 22,1881.
I? all I 9 nn Z I L 0 I y 7 M! Q INVENTOR,
A HOM NITED STATES SPENCER H. BROWN, OF WESTOHESTEB, PENNSYLVANIA.
INKSTAND ATTACHMENT FOR WRlTlNG-DESKS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 249,892, dated November.22, 1881. Application filed August 9, 1881. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SPENCER H. BROWN, M. D., a citizen of the United States, residing at Westchester, in the county of Chester and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Inkstand Attachments for WritingDesks; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, reference beinghad to theaccompanyingdrawings,which form partof this specification, in which Figure l is a perspective of the paper-rack of a writing-desk with my improvement applied thereto.- Fig. 2 is a perspective of the slide constituting my improvement; and Fig. 3 is an elevation of a modified form thereof.
My invention has for its object to provide an attachmentfor writing-desks adapted to hold one or more inkstands, and to form also a pocket or recess for postage-stamps, and a receptacle for pen-holders and pencils.
My invention accordingly consists of a writing-desk attachment in the form of a slide adapted to be moved in and out of a cabinet, as hereinafter set forth, said slide being formed with recesses for the reception and retention of inkstands, a pocket for postage-stamps, and a receptacle for penholders and pencils.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, A designates the top of a writing desk or table, or the leaf of a secretary book-case, and B a cabinet or upright portion thereon, provided, as usual, with drawersOand pigeon-holes DD.
E represents a slide, adapted to be drawn out of and pushed into the cabinet B, moving in a plane above the top of the desk orleaf, so
as not to interfere with papers which may be lying on the latter. Said slide is formed with recesses or wells 0 e, for inkstandsone, for example for black ink and another for red ink. Back of these recesses is a pocket, F, with hinged lidf,designed to contain postagestamp's. 1
G represents a groove or channel extending longitudinally of the slide, and adapted, for the reception of pen-holders and pencils. Said groove is closed at its rear end, or does not extend wholly to the back end of the slide.
Its front end, however, is open, so that penholders and pencilscan be moved out of it withoutlifting while the slideE isin the cabinet.
The operation is simple and obvious. When it is desired to use the inkstands, or either of them, the slide is drawn out, thus bringing such inkstands into convenient position for dipping into them. Atthe sametime the stands are elevated above any papers which may be lying on the desk, while, as they fit snugly in the wells or recesses provided for that purpose, they are not liable to be upset. When the inkstands are not required, the slide may be moved into the cabinet.
If desired, the ink-wells may be arranged as shown in Fig. 3-i. e.,side by'side-in front instead of one behind the other, and two grooves, one on either side, be formed as receptacles for pencils and pen-holders.
The slide is arranged between vertical partitions in the cabinet 13, fitting in grooves in said partitions so as to move freely in and out, yet without danger of being lifted. When the slide is pushed in, the compartment which it occupies is open in front, thus revealing the location of the inkstand and permitting access to the pencils, 860., in groove G.
The compartment into which the slide moves is designated by the letter E. It will be noted that said slide fits close to the bottom or in lower part of this compartment, not tilling thesame, but leaving it open, so that when said slide is in a hand or finger may be inserted in said compartment for drawing out a pen or pencil without in iving out the slide itself.
WVhat I claim as my invention is as follows:
The combination, with cabinet B, having an open-front compartment, H, with vertical grooved walls, of a slide, E, having an inkstand recess,e,andpenciland pen-holder groove G, said slide tittingin the bottom part of said compartment and in the grooved walls thereof, whereby it may be moved out to permit access to the inkstand, and when pushed in leaves the front of the compartment open to allow of the withdrawal of a pen or pencil without pulling out the slide, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 4th day of August, 1881.
