CASTER.
SPECIFICATION forming partpf Letters Patent No. 499,783, dated June 20, 1893.
Serial No. 457,883. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FREDERICK W. FRANK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Furniture Corner- Supports and Caster-Block Holders, of which the following is a specification.
Casters are commonly attached to articles of furniture, such as side-boards, book-cases, wardrobes, bureaus, and the like, by being inserted in what are known as corner-blocks, which are merely blocks usually glued in place in the corners underneath the main part of the structure. Such corner-blocks are many times hastily and imperfectly put in place by workmen, especially in cold weather, when the glue is apt to get cold before it has had time to enter the grain of the wood in the adjacent surfaces.
The object of my said invention is to provide a device whereby such corner-blocks may be held certainlysecurely in place, and whereby at the same time the corners of the structure may be materially strengthened.
Said invention will be first fully described Referring to the accompanying drawings, which are made a part hereof, and on which, similar letters of reference indicate similar parts, Figure 1 is a perspective view from below of the interior of afurnitu re corner where'- in the corner or caster block is held in place by means of my invention; Fig. 2 a vertical sectional View through the same at the point indicated by the line 2 2 in Fig. 3, and Fig. 3 an under side plan View looking upwardly from the dotted line 3 3 in Fig. 2.
In said drawings the portions marked A represent fragmentary portions of the furniture at the point where the corner-blocks are usually attached; B said corner-block; O a casing therefor embodying my invention, and D the caster.
The article of furniture, the corner-block and the caster are or may be all of any ordinary or desired construction, and as they constitute no part of my present invention will not be further described herein except incidentally in describing said invention.
The casing C is made to fit into the corner of the furniture, as shown. It incloses the corner-block B at the top and bottom and upon two sides, leaving the two sides which ordinarily come against the structure of the furniture exposed, so that the block may be free,
to be attached to said furniture in the ordinary manner, by means of glue if desired, as well as by means of my invention. Said casing is preferably of cast metal, and extends out brace-wisein all directions from'the caster, and is adapted to be secured to the structure of the furniture by screws 0 or otherwise. It
forms a secure support for the corner-block B, and also helps, by reason of its brace-like formation, to strengthen the article of furniture itself, and to support the caster,to receive the shank of which it is perforated at its lower end, as shown.
Having thus fully described my said invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination,'with an article of furniture, and a corner-block thereto, of a casing adapted to inclose said'corner-block at the bottom, top and upon two sides, the other two sides of said block being directly in contact with the furniture, substantially as set forth. I
