CABINET FOR TRUNKS.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 563,841, dated July 14, 1896. Application filed August 24,1895. $eria1No. 560,412. (No model.)
. thereof.
The object of our invention is to provide a cabinet, of more or less ornamental appearances, which may be placed over a trunk, so as to cover and conceal the same from view. The use of such furniture is particularly appropriate for persons who live in lodgings and who find it necessary to keep a trunk in their living or sitting room; and as a trunk, while not offensive to the view, is by no means ornamental to a room, we conceived the invention we are about to describe, the use and construction of which will be apparent from the illustrations in the drawings and the description thereof herein given. Such drawings represent as follows:
Figure 1 is a perspective of our invention, representing the same as placed over a trunk, the top and sides of the cabinet being left open to better illustrate our ideas. Fig. 2 shows a partial view of the upper parts of the frame of the cabinet and the folding cover therefor, a, the parts being lettered to correspond with like parts seen in Fig. 1, exceptin g the cover, which is omitted in the lastnamed figure. Fi 3 illustrates the interior or panel frames, (designated as 0,) which frames are to be closed by some suitable covering. Fig. 4 shows means employed by us for joining the respective sections of the frame together, the frame in the drawingbeing shown as constructed in detachable form; and Fig. 5 is a corner-section of the frame, representing one of the standards and the front and right-side foot-slats.
The letters designate the respective parts referred to. a
The description of the figures above given has practically already disclosed the construction of our invention. The frame thereof is made up of several pieces, consisting of four corner-uprights a a a a, the front and back and two end top slats a a a a and the front and two end foot-slats (only one of the latter being seen in the drawings) a and a There is no foot-slat across the back of the cabinet, that being necessarily left open, so that the cabinet being mounted on casters may be moved over the trunk. The framesections may be joined together by any suitable means, those illustrated in the drawings consisting of tongues f and slots g, and the tongues being provided with slots f and the slots g with pins g As additional fastening means one may use corner-straps h, pivoted at 7', and having a slot k to catch over a pin '5.
The front and sides of the frame of one cabinet are further provided with what may be termed interior or panel frames 0, which are adapted to be inserted and secured in the outer frame. Any well-known means for securing the panels in position may be used. Thus we have shown in Fig. 3 a. common form of attachment, the same consisting of small latches 0 secured to the rear side of the panehframe by screws, and adapted to be turned into grooves in the frame-sections, such panel-frames consisting of a frame 0', suitably covered with some light ornamental material and provided with means for fastening the same in the main frame.
The top of the cabinet may be formed of leaves a ,(see Fig. 2,) hinged together, so that the same may be folded up.
hat we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A cabinet for the purpose specified, com pris ing a frame of detachable sections adapted, and provided with means for fastening the same together, removable and folding cover a, and removable panels or interior frames, and means forfastening the latter in place, the corner-sections of said frame being provided with casters, all substantially as described.
In testimony whereof we have hereunto affixed our signatures, in the presence of two witnesses, this 1st day of August, 1895.
