JOHN M. \VHEELER, OF TOLEDO, OHIO.
BLACKlNG-CASE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 450,440, dated April. 14, 1891.
Application filed June 9, 1890. Serial No. 354,778. (No model.)
To all whont it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, JOHN M. WHEELER, a citizen of the United States, residing at T0- ledo, Lucas county, Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Blacking-Cases, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to cases designed to receive boxes of shoe-blacking and blackingbrushes, and to serve as a foot-support while the shoe is receiving its blacking and polish. 'lhelids of these cases are usually upholstered, and, when the case is not otherwise in use, serves as a convenient stoolor foot-rest. The
interior of the case, besides serving as a receptacle for blacking and brushes, is also provided with a frame designed to support and steady the sole of the shoe. In blacking-cases of this kind it is found that the dirt from the shoes falls into the bot-tom of the case, and that the brushes and other contents of the box resting on the same bot-tom thereby become dirty and unfit for use.
The object of my invention is to remedy the difficulty here pointed out and to provide a case which is readily and easily cleaned. I attain this object by means of the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings made part hereof, in which Figure] is acentral vertical cross-sectional view of my device, and Fig. 2 is a plan view of my case with the lid removed.
A is the box, B the lid, and O the legs, of the case.
D is a foot-rest, and E the blacking-box holder, beneath which is an open-meshed wirescreen F, horizontally disposed and removable. Beneath the screen is drawer G.
The operation of the device isobvious. Particles of dirt falling upon the screen drop through into the drawer, which can be readily removed and emptied. The screen forms a false bottom, upon Which brushes, cloths, &c., may restwithout becoming soiled by contact with the dirtin the case.
Other forms of screenssuch as parallel slats, perforated plates, and the likewill readily suggest themselves; but these are merely the obvious mechanical equivalent of the wire-cloth screen shown in the drawings.
Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
In a blacking'case, the box A, provided with a drawer G, screen F, and foot-rest D, substantially as shown and described, for the purpose specified.
