UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN E. PETERSON, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
DESK FOR HOTEL-REGISTERS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 251,280, dated December 20, 1881.
Application filed April 5, 1881.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JoHN E. PETERSON, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Desks for Hotel-Registers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, that will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to construct and make use of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, forming a part of this specification.
This invention relates to an improvement in a revolving frame or desk for holding hotelregisters; and it consists of certain novel features in the construction and arrangement of the parts, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth in detail.
Figure l is a top or face view of my improved revolving desk; Fig. 2, the reverse or under side view of the same; Fig. 3, a vertical section. Fig. 4 is a transverse section through the mirror. Fig. 5 is a view of the upper side of the base; Fig. 6, an enlarged vertical section taken in the plane 6 6, Fig. 5.
Referring to the drawings, A represents the desk proper, B a mirror, and O the space provided for a permanent heading.
One of the essential features of this improvement is to provide a desk having a permanent heading, thereby dispensing with the necessity of having to print at the head of each page ggmposing the register the name of the hote The permanent heading shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing supplies the miscellaneous matter required, and which hitherto had to be printed on each page of the register, thereby adding considerable to the cost of each register in the way of printing, all of which is saved by making use of a permanent heading, as herein shown.
The circular part D is attached to the under side of the desk A, and is provided with the downward projection a, which fits into a central aperture in the base 7.
Fig. 5 is a view of the upper side of the base 7, and shows the manner of attaching the rubber rollers 8 to the same. These rubber rollers project above the immediate surfaces of the base 7, as shown in Fig. 6 of the drawings, and forms a rest for the circular part D, and upon which the desk proper is made to revolve without noise, the base 7 remaining stationary.
(N0 model.)
The globular projections 9 are composed of rubber, and are placed underneath the base 7 and the corners of the frame for the purpose of preventing these parts from marring the counter or surface upon which the same may rest. These projections are attached by means of the screws 10, which should be countersunk, so as to be embedded in the rubber.
The deskAis attached to the base 7 by means of the tap-bolt 11, the washers 12 and 13 imparting durability to these parts. The washer 13 is provided with an aperture sufficiently large to admit of its passing over the lower end of the projection a, and the washer 12 being placed between the head of the bolt 1]. and the end of the projection on. This projection on serves as a pivot and retains the desk A in proper position relative to the base 7.
The drawer 14 provides a receptacle for paper, envelopes, &c., and is opened and closed by means of the hand grasp 15. As shown in Fig. 5 of the drawings, each corner of the desk is provided with the projections 16, which serve as a pen-rack, ink-holder, and receptacles for tooth-picks and matches. The parts 16 are made so as to be attached and detached as circumstances may require.
This desk is not alone intended for use in hotels, but may be used for holding all kinds of blank hooks, and the frame inclosing the book may be made adjustable in order to adapt one desk to hold books of different sizes.
Havingthus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,
1. A desk or frame adapted to receive a hotel-register or blank book, provided at its upper portion with a 'headihg or plate for containing the words or titles usually printed or written at the tops of the pages of sad registers or blank books, as and for the purpose specified.
2. A revolving desk of the character hereinbefore described, consisting, essentially, of the desk A, the mirror B, the permanent heading 0, the circular part D, provided with the projection a, the base 7, the rubber rollers 8, the globular projections 9, and the screws 10, substantially as set forth.
JOHN E. PETERSON.
