GEORGE D. OVERIN AND OTTO MEYERS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

COMBINATION-TABLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 321,747, dated July 7, 1885.

Application filed July 25, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, GEORGE D. OVERIN and OTTO MEYERs, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Combination-Table, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention consists, principally, of a table having an upper sliding frame and preferably hinged top, and having combined with the main frame of the table a sink, bread-tray, rolling-pin compartment, and bread and chopping board.

The invention also consists in combining with the top of the table a sliding ironingboard adapted to be drawn out for use and shoved within the table when not in use; and the invention also consists of the construction, arrangement, and combination of parts,all as hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of our new and improved table, showing the top shoved to one side and the hinged cover raised to vertical position, and showing the drainingtray and slop-bucket of the sink in position for use. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same, the cover to the bread-box being broken away to show the knife-trays held in the bread-box. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the table closed and arranged for ironing, the front leaf of the table being broken away to show the clasp and groove which hold the top of the table to the frame of the table; and Fig. 4 is an end elevation of the table as it appears when entirely closed.

The main table-frame A, which is supported upon the four legs 13, has secured between the side pieces a a of the frame the parallel cross-pieces b b and the bottom board, 0, which together form the central compartment, 0, for receiving a rol1ing-pin or other kitchen utensils. To the inner surface of the end piece d of the frame A is secured the cleat e, and to the adjacent surface of the crosspiece I) is secured the corresponding cleat, e, and upon these cleats is held the sink D, as To the inner surface of the end piece d of the frame A is secured the cleat f, and to the adjacent surface of the cross piece I) is secured the corresponding cleat, f, and upon these cleats f and f is held the bread-box E, which is provided with the hinged cover E for closing it, and with the trays E for holding knives, forks, spoons, 850.

The bread-box E and sink D are made removable from the frame A, for convenience in cleaning them, and the sink D has the opening 9 made in it for drawing the water from the sink into the bucket F, the opening 9 being adapted to be closed by the plug 9' for retaining the water in the sink while washing the dishes, and the sink is provided with the corrugated draining tray D, on which the dishes as they are washed may be placed for draining and drying, the water from the dishes passing back into the sink through the opening h. (Shown in Figs. 1 and 2.) The drainer D,when not in use, is adapted to be turned down into the sink D, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, and when in use it is held in inclined position, as shown in full lines in Fig. 1, by means of the side pins, (l d", entering the open slots (1 (1 made in the cleats (1* (1 secured to the end walls of the sink D, as shown clearly in Figs. 1 and 2, and one side of the drainer D is provided-with the cleat i, Fig. 2, to receive the soapbox G. (Shown in Figs. 1 and 2.)

Upon the frame A of the table is placed the upper sliding frame, H, to which are hinged the leaves I I and the top J of the table. The frame H in this instance is composed of the corner pieces, j side pieces j j, and end pieces k k. The side pieces j j each have a groove, Z, made in its outer surface to receive the point of a hook, on, secured to the outer surface of each of the side pieces, a, of the frame A in the center of the length of the side pieces, a, which hooks and grooves hold the sliding frame H in place upon the frame A, and permit the frame H to be moved 1ongitudinally upon the frame A in both direc tions 0. distance equal to about one-half of the length of the frame H, the shoulders 02., Fig. 3, made at the corners of the frame H, serving as stops to come against the hooks m to prevent the I00 frame H from being moved too far. The side pieces, j j, have each an anti-friction roller, 0, secured at its loweredge,to facilitate the movement of theframe Hupon the frame A, and to preventlateral movement of the frame H upon the frame A we form the loweredges of the side pieces j with the narrow ribs p p, which run in the grooves 11, formed at the upper ends of the legs B, as shown clearly in Figs. 3 and 4, and for locking the frame H immediately over and in line with the frame Awe provide the end piece lcwith the pivoted button q,and the end piece (I of the frame A with th e hook q, with which the button (1 is adapted to en gage, as shown in Fig. a.

The leaves I I of the table are adapted to be held in horizontal position parallel with the top J when opened by supporting-arms I", pivoted in suitable recesses made in the upper edges of the filling pieccsj j, as shown clearly in Figs. 2 and 3, the shorter ends of which arms are rabbeted to enter slots 3' in the side pieces and thetop J, being hinged to the frame H, as above stated, is adapted to be raised to the vertical position, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and there held by the hinged brace J to permit free access to the sink D, bread-box E, or compartment 0, or to the bread-board K, which is held upon the corresponding cleats r r, secured to the inner surfaces of the side piecesjj of the frame H. The board K is adapted to slide upon the cleats r r, and is formed upon one side with the raised and concaved portion 8 which serves as a chopping-bowl for chopping hash, &e., and the said board K is adapted to be reversed upon the cleats r r, so that both sides of the board may be used, the plain side serving as a surface upon which bread, &c., may be conveniently cut.

The top J is adapted to beheld in closed position by the spring-bolt t, secured thereto, which is adapted to enter the corresponding recess t, made at one corner of the frame H, as shown in Fig. 2; and the top J hasthe dovetailed cleats an secured to its lower surface to receive and hold the sliding ironing-board L, as shown clearly in Fig. 1, so that the ironingboard may be drawn out to the position sh own in Fig. 3 for use, whereit will be supported at its outer end by the leg L, (which may be folded under the board and held bythe button -v,) and at its inner end by the said cleats a and the edge pieces 10 10, secured to the edges of the board, so as to run upon the said cleats, as shown in Fig. 1. When the board L is forced in between the cleatsa a, it is held from dropping down by the button 10, and the board L is prevented from being shoved back too far by the stop-pin w, fitted in the under surface of top J, as shown in Fig. 1.

Constructed as described, it will be seen that after the table has been used for eating purposes the top J, the leaves, and the frame H may be shoved along upon the frame A, uncovering the sink D, so that the dishes may be washed at and immediately from the table.

In setting the table, the top, leaves, andframe H may be shoved upon frame A to uncover the breadbox E, or the covcrJ may be raised for that purpose to permit access to the bread box, and knives, forks, spoons, &c., in the trays E; andin baking or cooking, where the board K is to be used, the top J will simply be raised to vertical position, thus uncovering the parts held in the frame A for use. \Vhcn the'ironingboard L is to be used, the top J will of course be closed.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
