HINRICH GROHBRUGGE, OF NE\V YORK, N. Y.
JEWEL-CASE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 445,002, dated January 20, 1891.
Application filed Septembei 11, 1890- Serial No. 36 L601. (No model.) I
T0 at whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HINRICH GROHBRUGGE, of New York city, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Jewel-Cases, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invent-ion relates to an improvement in jewel-cases, and has for its object to so construct the case that a key will not be needed to lock or to unlock it, and also to provide a means whereby the locking mechanism will not be visible.
The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of the several parts, as willbe hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar figures of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the case closed, the drawer therein being locked in position. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the case,the cover being represented as partially open. Fig. 3 is a central longitudinal section through the case, the cover being in the position shown in Fig. 2 5 and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the case, the cover being represented as removed and the drawer as drawn partially out.
In carrying out the invention the box-bod y 10 is preferably shaped to the contour of a book, as shown in Fig. 1, and is permanently closed at both sides and at one end. One end 11 of the box-body is open, and at said open end one side is provided with a downwardly and inwardly beveled inner surface 12, and the opposite side has a recess 13 produced therein. The inner faces of the top and bottom of the box, representing the covers of the book are provided with channels or grooves 14, which grooves are in practically the same plane with the base-wall of the recess 13. The recessed side of the box-body has a beveled or wedge-shaped cavity 15 in its inner face covered bya surface plate 16, and in the cavity back of the plate the lower end of a spring 17 is secured, the upper end of the spring being visible in the base-wall of the side recess 13 and extending outward through a channel 18 therein, as is best shown in Figs.
3 and 4:. The spring 17 has secured thereto a latch-pin 19, which pin projects through the surface plate 16 into the box-chamber. The open end of the box is provided with a sliding cover 20, the inner surface whereof has a metal plate 21 secured thereto, projecting beyond the sides and adapted to enter the grooves 14, and the inner end of the cover is beveled to form a miter-connection with the beveled surface 12 of the body. The cover is slid into place at the side recess 13 and rests upon the base-wall of said recess, the shape of the cover being such as to carry out'the design of a book. In the closed end of the body chamber an upwardly-curved bow-spring 22 is secured, and the said chamber is adapted to contain a drawer 23, which, when in position within the chamber, is located between the bow-spring and the cover, compressing the former. In one side of the drawer, at one end, an inclined channel 24 is produced, and
in the same side at the opposite end a straight channel 25 is formed,.at the bottom of which a wear or keeper plate 26 is located, as shown in Figs. 3 and at.
In operation the jewels or other articles to be concealed are placed in the drawer 23, and the drawer is entered into the chamberof the box-casing and pressed downward against the spring 22 until the latch-pin 19, which is pressed inward by engagement with the walls of the channel 24, enters the upper channel 25 and engages with the upper or outer edge of the wear-plate 26, as shown in Fig. 3. The drawer is now securely latched in the boxbody, and the latch is concealed by sliding the cover 20 in the grooves 14 until the beveled surfaces of the cover and the body meet, whereupon the case has the appearance of a boolgand when the joints are nicely made it is not readily discoverable in what manner the case may be opened. To open the case the cover is slid back and entirely removed. The projecting end of the spring 17 is then 5 drawn in direction of one side, whereupon the latch-pin is disengaged from the keeperplate of the drawer, and a spring 22 at the bottom of the body-cham ber forces the drawer a sufficient distance outward to be readily grasped by the operator.
Having thus described my invention,
claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent- 1. As an improved article of manufacture, a jewel-case consisting of a box-like casing open at one end only and provided with a spring at the bottom of its inner chamber, a latch located in one side Wall of the bodychamber, a drawer adapted to enter the chamber and engage with the spring and latch, and a cover adapted to close the open end of the box-body, substantially as shown and described. p 1
2. A jewel-case consisting of a box-like body open at one end only, the top and bot" tom inner surfaces of the body at said open end being provided with grooves, one side having a recess produced therein and the other side an inwardly-beveled surface, a spring located in the bottom of the bodyehamber, a sprin'llatch located in one side wall of said chamber, a drawer adapted to enter the chamher of the body and engage with The spring" and provided with a keeper for engagement with the latch, and a cover adapted to slide in the grooves of the box-body, the said cover having one end surface beveled, as and for the purpose specified.
