CABINET STAND.
Patented Feb. 9, 1886.
UNITED STATES ATENT Genios.
AMOS F. GERALD, OF FAIRFIELD, MAINE.
CABINET-STAN D.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent o. 335,576, dated February 9, 1886.
Application filed February 4, 1884. Serial No. 119,664. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern:
Beit known that I, Aires F. GERALD, of Fairfield, in the county of Somerset and State of Maine, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Cabinet Stands, of which the following is a specification.
I will describe a cabinetstand embodying my improvement, and then point out its various features in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a stand embodying my invention; and Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same. taken from the front to the rear or about midway between the sides.
Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in both figures.
A designates the body of the cabinet-stand. Its sides and back may be paneled or otherwise ornamented to suit the taste. It may have any desired moldings at the base. The front B is shown as paneled to represent the fronts of a number of drawers; but it may be embellished otherwise. 'Ihe front is hinged at one of its side edges by hinges h to one of the sides of the body of the cabinet, and may be fastened, when closed, by any suitable catch or fastening. The top consists ofa rimlike portion, C, made of any suitable shape and material, and a leaf like portion, C', hinged at one edge to the rim-like portion. At the other edge the leaf-like portion may be fastened down with any suitable catch. rlhe leaf-like portion may be made of wood, and will preferably be covered with cloth.
D designates a shelf arranged within the body of the cabinetstand and fitting snugly therein. At opposite sides this shelf is provided with pins or lugs a, which may be made of metal, and fit in slots b in the lower portions of links or rods E. The links or rods E at the upper ends are pivotally connected by pins to lugs c, which are made of metal, and are fastened to the leaf-like portion C of the top of the cabinet-stand,forward of the hinges, whereby the said leaf-like portion is connected to the rim-like portion. The links or rods E serve as a connection between the leaf-like portion and the shelf, so that when the leaflike portion is swung upward it carries with it the shelf D, and when it is swung downward it allows the shelf D to descend.
By swinging the leaf-like portion of the top ofthe cabinet-stand upon its hinges it may be used as a lever, whereby to raise and lower the shelf D,which is hung from it. The shelf when raised may be supported by any suitable contrivances. I have shown it as provided with a bar, R, pivoted to it at the iniddle, and adapted when swung in one direction to engage at one end with a lug or projection upon one side of the inner surface of the case and at the other end with a recess formed in the opposite side of the case, and when swung in the other direction to be disengaged therefrom.
The object of providing the links or rods E with slots is to admit of swinging back the leaf-like portion C of the top of the cabinetstand farther than it could be otherwise swung back.
This cabinet-stand may be used for various purposes. For instance, it may be used as a wash-stand, a sewing-machine case, or a musical-instrument case.
Vhen the leaf-like portion of the top of the stand is swung forward, the shelf, with anything supported by 'lt,will be lowered, so that the said leaf-like portion may be closed over it. To raise the leaf-like portion, the front of the body of the stand may be opened, the leaflike portion may be pressed up by pressure underneath until it can be grasped by the hand, and then it may be raised and swung back.
My stand is neat, simple, and not adapted to easily get out of order.
I do not herein lay claim, broadly, to acabinet provided with a leaf-like portion hinged to the body of the cabinet, a movable shelf, and a link connecting the leaf-like top portion and the shelf, as the same was old prior to my invention.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is"
In a stand, the combination of a body, a leaflike top portion hinged at one of its side edges to said body, a movable shelf, and links or rods having a slotted connection with said movable shelf, substantially as specified.
