KITCHEN-CABINET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 402,707, dated May '7, 1889.
Application filed December 10, 1888. serial No. 293,217. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, HORACE S. 'WOLFE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Battle Creek, in the county of Calhoun and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Kitchen-Cabinets, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part thereof, and in which like let- 1o ters and figures of reference designate similar parts in all the views.
My improvement relates to the construction and use of the flour-receptacle, in combination with a molding-table, cupboard, and other I 5 convenient storage-room for pastries, spices, tools, &c.; and its object is so to construct and arrange the several parts as to providea compact, convenient, and ornamental portable kitchen-cabinet that may be placed anywhere in the dining or family room, and which shall contain all the requisites for such a piece of furniture at a minimum cost.
The nature of my invention will be seen by inspection of the drawings, wherein 2 5 Figure I represents afront elevation of my new cabinet. Fig. II is an end view of the same, showing a portion of the casing broken away for the purpose of more clearly exhibiting my novel mode of suspending and operating the flourreceptacle. Fig. III shows a detached and enlarged end View of the flour box or receptacle. Fig. IV is a similar view of part of the lower casing; and Fig. V represents a perspective front view of a part of the combined molcLboard, table, and cupboarddoor.
A represents one of the ends of that part of the cabinet-casing containing the flour-receptacle, and B represents the back portion thereof, which extends above the part A a suitable height to form the back of the cupboard C, of which a transverse horizontal strip, 1, forms the top or cover thereof. A similar wider strip, 2, forms both the bottom of the cupboard and top of the lower casing,
A. A transverse strip, 3, (shown in Fig. IV,) about half the inside width of the casing A, secured to cleats b, made fast to the inside thereof, serves as a stay to firmly fix this end of the cabinet frame.
Directly underneath the top 2 of the casing A is situated the storage-drawer d, which occupies the entire inside space of the cabinet above the flour-receptacle A at this point. The door h of the cupboard C is firmly hinged on top of the casing, and when open falls down and finds a firm support thereon, as seen in the drawings, Figs. I and II. The top surface of the door, when the cupboard is open, forms a firm and convenient table and mold- 6o ing-board, its inside surface being made fiat for that purpose, while its opposite side forms an ornamental panel for the cupboard-front when closed, as seen in Fig. V.
The inside of the cupboard C is provided with shelves and partitions n n n n in the well-known manner, while a central vertical space, M, forms a convenient pocket for the rolling-pin n.
The outermost ends of the flour-receptacle A are provided with fixed circular or arcshaped strips of suitable thickness and form for suspending the flour box or receptacle in anovel manner now to be pointed out.
The angularly-placed strip 19, forming the 7 5 stay to the bottom inside casing, runs downwardly from front to rear at an angle of about fifteen degrees therefrom, and the fixed arc-- shaped strip a rises from this strip as a base, thereby forming a way or track whereon the corresponding arc-shaped strip a, secured to the outermost ends of the box A, slides when the said flour-box is moved from front to rear, and vice versa, when using the same, while a stop-block, a, also fixed to the inside of the casing, suitably above the fixed strip or way a, serves to hold the flour=box in place on the said track or Way. The are strips of the box are cut away at about onequarter the width of the latter from the front 0 of the cabinet, as shown by dotted lines, Fig. III. The transverse dimension of the flourbox A allows it to pass loosely within the casing, while the arc strips to a also loosely engage with their corresponding ways or 5 tracks a at below the stops a a.
Vertical corner-strips s s are removably secured to the front of the lower casing, A, by means of screws, whereby the flour-receptacle is rendered removable at will, the strips 8 8 I00 serving as stops, against which the angular ends of the arc cleats of the box come to rest when the boX A is tilted to its extreme forward position, as represented in Fig. II.
By these effective and simple means the friction of the sliding ways and stops, as described, is avoided, and the flour-receptacle is easily and noiselessly opened and tilted conveniently forward or held in any desired position, thus avoiding the usual violent slamming, as where pivoted rods and catches or other equivalent devices are employed, as is evident.
Having thus clearly described and illustrated my invention and pointed out some of its advantages and mode of operation, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is
1. In a kitchen-cabinet, the casin g provided with arc-shaped cleats or ways, in combination with a flour-receptacle, also having areshaped cleats which extend from one end of said receptacle toward but not in contact with the opposite end thereof, stop-blocks secured to the case immediately above the cleats of the flour-receptacle, and corner=strips secured to the case and so disposed with relation thereto as to serve as stops for the flour-receptacle.
2. In a kitchen-cabinet, the case provided 011 its inner ends with arc-shaped cleats or ways and on its outer corners with strips, in
combination with a flour-receptacle having arc-shaped cleats secured thereto, which extend from the rear end of said receptacle toward but not in contact with the front end thereof and are adapted to engage with the cleats of said case, and stop-blocks disposed on the interior of the case immediately above the cleats on the flour-receptacle, all substantially as and for the purposes herein specified.
3. In a kitchen-cabinet, the case provided with inclined blocks or strips, and also with arc-shaped cleats or ways, the extremities of which rest on said inclined blocks, and strips secured to the corners of said case, for the purpose set forth, and so disposed with relation thereto as to adapt them to serve as stops for a flour-receptacle, in combination with said flour-receptacle having arc'shaped cleats at its sides,which cleats extend from the rear end of said receptacle toward but not in contact with the front end thereof, as shown, and blocks secured to the case immediately above the cleats of the fiour-receptacle and adapted, as set forth, to prevent accidental displacement of said receptacle.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto affixediny hand and signature in the presence of two witnesses.
