CHARLES MUELLER, OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.
PHONOGRAPHlC-RECORD CABINET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 638,586, dated December 5, 1899.
Application filed December 29, 1898. Serial No. 700,593. (No model.)
T0 to whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, CHARLES MUELLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Phonographic-Record Cabinets; 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The objects of this invention are to provide a cabinet for phonograph-records which will economize space or enable a greater number of records to be conveniently contained within a given space and permit of an easy access thereto, to avoid the liability of injury to said records because of inconvenience of access and the liability of striking said records against the shelves or other surfaces of the cabinet when removing the same for service, and to secure other advantages and results, some of which may be referred to hereinafter in connection with the description of the working parts.
The invention consists in the improved phonograph-record cabinet and in the arrangements and combinations of parts of the same, all substantially as will be hereinafter set forth, and finally embraced in the clauses of the claim.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, in which like letters of reference indicate correspbnding parts in each of the several views, Figure 1 is a front elevation of the improved cabinet. Fig. 2 is a section of the. same, taken at line 00. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section taken at line 11 Fig. 4 is a vertical section taken at line 3 and Fig. 5 illustrates a modification of construction.
a a the hinges being so disposed that the doors can be turned back against the outer sides of the case, as in Fig. 3, where they will be out of the way while the record-shelves are opened and the records are being used. At the sides of the said side boards a on the interior of the case the same are provided with horizontal cleats a co, the cleats being in pairs, one cleat being parallel with the other of each pair and forming a groove 0. therebetween of about the Width of the shelf 0, upon which the record cylinders, pegs, or holders d are secured. The grooves may be formed within the side boards, as in Fig. 5, in which case the cleats may be dispensed with. At the fore part of the upper cleat of each pairis formed a projecting stop e, adapted to engage with acorresponding stopfupon the shelf and limit the outward movement of the latter. The lower cleats of each pair are near to or below the stops e beveled oif at their upper sides, as shown at g in Fig. 4, the said beveled or inclined extremities f orming at the front of the groove or way a between the cleats an enlargement or flaring part adapted to permit the body of the shelf to assume an inclined position, as in Fig. 4. The shelves 0 are arranged to slide in said grooves or ways between the parallel cleats, but are prevented from being withdrawn therefrom by'stops f thereon, the said stops f being secured at or near the rear extremities of the shelves and adapted to engage the stops upon the upper cleats. The shelves are made in longitudinal sections 0 0 the front section 0 being provided on the upper surface with .the record cylinders, pegs, or'holders (1, arranged in series, and the rear section c be ing a narrow strip, upon which are arranged the stops f, before referred to, the said stops being disposed near the opposite extremities of the said rear section. Thus when the shelf is drawn out and the stops of the rear section are brought into engagement with the corresponding steps of the cleats or ways further withdrawal is prevented,and the frontsection at or near its rear edge, at its opposite ends, is brought into correspondence or coincidence with the flaring enlargement of the way, so that the said front section at its front edge is permitted to drop a limited distance and assume an inclined position. The front and rear sections are connected together by hinges t, and thus the front section is prevented from becoming separate from the rear'section, but
is allowed a pivotal movement on said hinges, wherebyit is permitted to assume the inclined position above referred to.
By assuming the inclined position the pegs or holders (Z for the records are also given an inclined position, projecting upwardly and forwardly, so that their ends are presented more clearly to the view of the operator and the cylindrical records may be withdrawn from said holders with greater facility and without engagement with the walls or edges of the shelf above, whereby I avoid the danger of damaging the said records.
It is noted that my invention consists in providing a tilting cylinder, holding-peg, or a peg which changes its position to permit a more convenient removal or replacing of a cylinder. I provide by my construction a peg which occupies a vertical position when inclosed in the case and which when withdrawn from said case automatically assumes an inclined position. By means of the tilting pegs the same may be placed nearer to the rear edge of the peg-support, whereby a greater number may be arranged within a given horizontal space, and the inclined positions assumed when said pegs are withdrawn enable the cylinders to be conveniently handled without risk of damage by scraping against the front of the case or the supports for the pegs.
The shelves, may be of any suitable construction, preferably ofwood, and provided at their opposite extremities with cleats by which the said shelves are prevented from warping.
WVhen the grooves for the shelves are formed in the side boards, the stops 6 are fastened directly to the said side boards above the groove and the said grooves are made flaring at their extremities. The cylinders may be of any suitable construction to receive the records, but are ordinarily made of tubular pasteboard, turned wood, or the like.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is 1. The combination with a case provided with ways, of shelves sliding at opposite edges in said ways and provided at their upper sides with pegs or phonographic-record holders,
said ways being made flaring at the lower their upper sides with means for hold-ing phonographic-record cylinders, said shelves being made in front and rear sections hinged together, the rear section being adapted to lie in the ways back of the flaring part while the front section assumes a forwardly-inclined position in said flaring end of the Ways, substantially as set forth.
3. The combination of a case having ways the forward ends of which are enlarged or made flaring, stops arranged upon said case contiguous to said ways, and sectional shelves sliding in said ways and provided with cooperating stops preventing forward movement of the rear section into said flaring ends, the sections being connected to permit of the forward section assuming an inclined position in said flaring ends of the ways when the shelf is drawn forward, substantially as set forth.
4. The improved phonograph-record cabinet herein shown, comprising a case having therein a series of slidable and tilting shelves and a plurality of pegs arranged at .right angles to said shelves, whereby when said shelves are partly withdrawn from said case, the said pegs will assume inclined positions with reference to the front vertical face of said case, the inclined pegs permitting a removal of the record-cylinders from the pegs Without interference with the forward part of the top of the case or the upper shelves therein, substantially as set forth.
. In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 22d day of December, 1898.
CHARLES MUELLER.
