SPECIFICATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No, 312,999, dated February 24, 1885.

Application filed March 5, 1884. (No model.)

To coZZ whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, ALFRED H. J UNOD, of Highland, in the county of Madison and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Kitchen-Cabinets, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specitication, and in which- Figure 1 is a front perspective view with the top raised, and Fig. 2 is a back perspective view with the top closed.

My invention consists in features of novelty hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the drawings, A rep resents the body of the cabinet, to which is hinged a top, A, which can be raised into the position shown by full lines, Fig. 1, where it is sustained by a jointed 'brace, A", or can be thrown back into the position shown by dotted lines, Fig. 1, where it forms a table, and where it is supported by a swinging frame, B, hinged to the back of the body, and provided with a caster, B, and a notch, 13", which receives the front board of the top.

IVhen the frame is in use, it is in the position shown by full lines, Fig. 2, and when not in use is in the position shown by dotted lines, Fig, 2, where it is held by a spring-plate, B, pivotedto the back of the body A. When the top is to be thrown back, the brace A is disconnected from the body by moving a pivoted keeper, A*, (see Fig. 1,) and withdrawing a pin, A and the brace is then folded, as

shown by dotted lines, Fig. 1, its free end being placed in a bracket, A.

0 represents a' sink, in the top having a waste hole or pipe, G, which may be closed by a cork, G or covered by a perforated plate, 0 The plate is arranged so as to he slid over the wasteopening or removed from it, as shown in Fig. 2.

D represents a shelf hinged to one end of the body, (the end having the wastc-opening,) and adapted to be folded up or to be turned down, as shown in Fig. 2. .In the latter position it is supported bya bracket, D, secured to the body, and it supports a vessel, D", to catch the waste water from the sink.

Instead of using the shelf to support the vessel, a pipe, I), may be used to connect with the waste-opening, the free end of which, when not in use, is supported by a bracket, D, secured to the back of the body. The top has a partitioned drawer, I, at one end of the sink, for containing knives, forks, spoons, 850., and it also has a receptacle, I, with a lid, 1 for holding towels Ste. Beneath the top is a table, J, (which is exposed by raising the top,) upon which bread, 8rd, may be mixed. This table has ahole, O, at its outer end for the wastepipeG, and may be enlarged by raising a hinged part, J, which is supported by pulling out a slide, J". (See Fig. 2.)

L represents a flour-bin at one end of the cabinet, which can be lifted out, and which is shown partly raised in Fig. 1. On the bin is a box, L, for holding a rolling-pin, D", and at one end of the bin is a receptacle, D for holding spices, &c.

Beneath the table J is a drawer, M, for bold ing cake-cutters, &c., and a cupboard, N, pro

vided with a door, I and preferably having one or more shelves, N". contain provisions, &c.

On the inside of the door N is a receptacle, 0, with a cover, 0, for holding a small supply of flour.

Between the cupboard and the flour-bin D is a vertical series of drawers, P, for holding tea, coffee, rice, sugar, &c.

At one end of the apparatus is a towel-rack, Q, which may be pulled out, as shown in Fig. 1.

When the table J has been used for mixing bread, &c. on, the surplus flour can be brushed off into the bin L, and to prevent it from getting between the bin and the near wall of the The cupboard may bin-chamber, I secure a flexible bead, (preferably rubber,) T, to the near edge of the bin, (see Fig. 1,) which forms a close joint between the bin and the wall, preventing the passage of the flour.

I claim as my invention 1. In a kitchen-cabinet, the combination of the body A, having table J, formed with a hole, 0, a hinged top, A, having sink 0, provided with waste-pipe G, the drawer I, receptacle I, and cover I to the receptacle, and the frame B, having notch B, to receive the front board of the top, and hinged to fold O, waste-hole O, and perforated movable plate against the body, as set forth. O, substantially as and for the purpose set IO 2. The combination of the body A, the top forth. A hinged thereto, swinging frame B, the T 5 joihted brace A, the pivoted keeper A*, the ALFRED JUL removable pin A and the bracket A, as set In presence offorth. GEO. H. KNIGHT, 3.
