W/TNESSES UNITED STATES WILLIAM J. BALLOl/V, OF RIDDLETON, TENNESSEE.
COMBINED HAT-RACK AND TABLE.
SPECIFICATIONforming part of Letters Patent No. 601,422, dated March 29, 1898. Application filed March 6, 1897. Serial No. 626,260. (llo model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM J. BALLOW, a citizen of the United States,residin g at Riddleton, in the county of Smith and State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Hat-Rack and Table; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention has relation to improvements in combined hat-racks, ironing-tables, and lamp or candle stands; and the object is to provide a simple, cheap, and convenient article of furniture that can be convert-ed into the various articles above mentioned as the use of either one is required.
To this end the novelty consists in the construction, combination, and arrangement of the same, as will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed outin the claims.
In the accompanying drawings the same reference characters indicate the same parts of the invention.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my device as a hat-rack. Fig. 2 is a similar viewin position as an ironing-table. Fig. 3 represents the device converted into a lamp or candle stand, and Fig. 4 is a vertical section of the stand shown in Fig; 3.
Referring to Fig. 2, 1 2 represent the legs or standards, each comprising in its construction diagonal cross-braces 4 4, horizontal top and bottom braces 5 6, and a vertical standard 7, made integral, as shown, or separate and suitably secured together, if desired.
9 and 10 represent the two halves of a horizontal brace, having their outer ends connected to blocks 7 on the inner sides of the standards 7 7 by a hinge 12 and their inner contiguous ends connected by a similar hinge 13, secured to the under side of the members 9 10, so as to permit them to fold upwardly in the center, as shown in Fig. 3. The up per face of the member 9 is provided with an ordinary bolt 14, which engages a keeper 15, secured on the upper face of the member 10 to form a rigid joint at the hinge 13 when the brace is in the position shown in Fig. 2.
16 16 represent longitudinal diagonal rods formed with a hinged joint 17 about midway of their length, and their lower ends are hinged to staples 18 18, fixed in the two halves of the longitudinal brace, and their upper diverging ends are likewise hinged in staples 19 19 in the cross-brace 4 4.
20 represents .a sleeve snugly encompassing each rod 16, and they are adapted to slide over the hinged joint 17, their lower ends resting against a transverse pin 21 to hold them in place over said joint and prevent its flexing.
22 represents the longitudinal rectangular ironing-board, the under side of which near its forward end is provided with a pair of dowel-pins 23 23, which engage corresponding orifices 24 in the upper edge of the contiguous horizontal brace 6 to hold the ironing-board in position and prevent its accidental longitudinal or lateral displacement when in use and at the same time acting as a limited hinge to permit the rear end of the ironing-board to be raised to insert a skirt, shirt, or similar article under it to conveniently iron it.
25 25 represent a series of suitable pegs or studs secured to the diagonal and transverse braces of the legs and having their outer ends projecting, as shown, to form supports for hats, coats, and the like when the device is organized as a rack. (Shown in Fig. 1.)
To change it from an ironing-table to a hatrack, the board 22 is detached and the sleeves 2O 20 slipped upward on their respective rods to release the joint 17 and permit the rods to fold inwardly at said joints, so that the legs 1 and 2 may be turned inwardly and closed down on the longitudinal brace 9 10, and when in this position the cross-braces 6 6 approximately lie in the same plane, so that the sliding pins 26 26 in the cross-brace 6 will engage the orifice 24 in the opposite brace to secure the legs 1 and 2 in the folded position, (shown in Fig. 1,) in which the pegs 25 project horizontally to form supports, as above described.
As thehinges 12 are offset or projected out from the standards 7 by being secured to the blocks 7 ample space is afforded between the leg 1 and the brace 9, also leg 2 and brace 10, for the hinged braces 16 to lie snugly between them when folded, as shown in Fig. 1.
In converting the device into a la p Or candle stand the bolt 14 is withdrawnto zillow the longitudinal bracket to fold upwardly between the legs 1 and 2, somewhat like the letter A. This brings the parallel legs closer together to secure the detachable circular top 27, which rests horizontally on the crossbraces 6 6. This top is provided with two diagonal converging orifices 28 29, extending entirely through the top and in 'alinement with the corresponding diagonal orifices 30 30 in the cross-braces 6 6.
31 31 represent two cylindrical pins having concentric cylindrical heads 32 32 formed with beveled ends 33 33, said heads snugly engaging the chambers 34 34 in the upper face of the top 27, so that their beveled ends are flush with the upper face of said top. 1 The shanks of the pins 31 31 extend through c the orifices 28 29 in the top 27 and through the alined orifices 30 30 in the cross-braces 6 6 to secure the top in place on the legs land 2 in a rigid perpendicular position.
Having thus fully-described my invention,
what "I claim as new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-
1. A convertible hat-rack and table, comprising the legs 1 and 2 provided with the projecting pegs or studs 25, in-combinati-on with the longitudinal brace, comprising the members 9 and 10, secured at their outer ends by hinges 12 '12, and connected at their inner ends by the hinge 13, the bolt 14 secured to the upper face of one member and adapted to engage the keeper 15, secured to the contiguous face of the opposite member, the rods 16 16 hinged at their outer ends to the legs 1 and 2, and at their inner converging ends to the longitudinal brace 9 10, and formed with a hinged joint 17, a sleeve 20, encompassing each rod, and adapted to be held in place on the joint 17, by the pin 21, substantially as shown and described.
2 The combination with the legs 1 and 2, adjustably connected at their lower ends by the longitudinal centrally-hinged brace 9 10,
provided with the bolt 14 and having their Witnesses:
CHARLES BLACK, -A. H. YOUNG.
