M. MEYER. DRAWER.'
No. 310,299. Patented Jan. 6, 1885.
l VBY iUNITED STATES PATENT OFFICEC MICHAEL MEYER, OF VAUKESHA, XVISCONSIN.
DRAWER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 310,299, dated January 6, 1885 Application filed April 16,1894.
To all '1072/0711, t n2/by concern.:
Be it known that I, MICHAEL MEYER, of
\Vai1kesha, in the county of Vaukesha and State of Visconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Drawers, of which the following is a f ull, clear, and exact description.
The object ol' my in vention is to provide simple, inexpensive, and selfacting devices for attachment to drawers and their frames or slideways, whereby the drawers will be compelled to move alike at both ends as they are drawn out from and slid back into closed position.
The invention consists ina pair ot' intermeshing toothed sectors pivoted to fixed cleats or cross-bars of the drawer-'frame and to the drawer by links, whereby a parallelism of movement ofthe drawer is secured, all as hereinafter fully described and claimed.`
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ot this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding'parts in both the figures.
Figure l is a front elevation of a chest of drawers, partly broken away, and showing my improvement applied; and Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view on the line .fr m, Fig. l..
Theletter A indicates the drawers of an ordinary bureau or cabinet, which are -iitted in place to slide in the frame D, said frame B having the front spacing-pieces, b, between the drawers, and also having the side cleats, e, forming the rests or ways on which the drawers slide. rlhe drawers A are of the usual pattern, their bottoms c being grooved into the sides c, leaving a space between the draw* er-bottom and the lower or working edges of the sides a. of about one-half inch, more or less.
In applying my improvement I fasten to the drawer-frame IB the cross-eleats C, which are of about the same thickness as the spacingpieces b between the drawers, and to these cleats C, I pivot on pins c the sector-plates D, which have intermeshing teeth d, and are connected by pins c to bars or links E, which latter are in turn pivoted to the` drawer-bottom c, at f, near the front of the drawer, as clearly shown in the drawings. Vitll this construction, as .the drawer A is pulled out or pushed in the links E will turn the sectors D and cause both ends of the drawer to move alike,
(No model.)
or, in other words, to maintain a parallelism with the front face of the drawer-frame, and
the action will be alike in this respect whether the drawer A be worked by grasping the knobs or pulls g g at both ends of the drawer or at either end only, as will readily be understood. The sectors D and links E require no more room for their application than is usually left vacant below the bottom of the drawer, and as the supporting cleats or plate C need be no thicker than the spacingpieces 'o between the drawers, my improvement may be applied to drawers of any size without requiring a special enlargement of the parts, and the improve- Inent may also as readily be applied to the drawers of old articles of furniture already in use as to new goods.
As shown, the intermeshing sector-plates D consist of thin iiat pieces of wood; but they may be cast of any suitable metal and in open pattern work, making them very light in weight, and still sufficiently strong forthe work required of them.
My invention may be applied to single drawers adapted for use in any situation, as wellas to chests or tiers of drawers, as represented in the drawings, and drawers having my improvement applied need not be fitted so snugly in their frame, and still work equally well or much easier than d rawcrs most carefully 'itted in the usual way.
Having thus fully described my invention, l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A l. The combination, with a drawer and drawer-frame, of intermeshing toothed sectors D, )ivoted tothe drawer-frame, and having their outer ends connected to the bottom ol` er ends of the sectors and to the drawerbottom, substantially as described.
MICHAEL MEYER.
