SHOE-POLESHING CA BINET.

SPECIFICATION forming part at Letters Patent No. 652,807, dated July 3, 1900.

Application filed October 27, 1899. Serial No. 735,003. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern/.-

Be it known that I, ALFRED L. OVERCASH- IER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented or dis covered a new and useful Improvement in Shoe-Polishing Cabinets, of which the followingis a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying'drawings, forming part of this specification, in which-- Figure 1 is a perspective View of the exterior of my improved shoe-polishing cabinet, Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section showing the foot-rest depressed. Fig. 3 is a view of the stand with the fOOtrl'GSb elevated and the outer case removed. Fig. 4 is a sectional detail view of the foot-rest and its supporting post and standard, partly in'section. Fig. 5 is a detail view of the supporting-post without the foot-rest. Fig. 6 isa horizontal crosssection taken in the line VI VI of Fig. 2. Fig. 7 is a detail perspective View of the looking device by which the outer case is retained in position on the standard. Fig. 8 is a perspective detailyiew of one of the supportinglegs.

My invention consists of a combination shoe-polishing cabinet and stool, and comprises an adjustable foot-rest mounted in a supporting-standard provided with a receptacle for polishing articles and materials,with an inclosing outer removable case having a top adapted to serve as a stool.

Referring to the drawings, 2 is a central standard mounted on legs 3, of wood or metal, provided on the bottom wit-h rubber or adhesive material 4 to prevent slipping on the floor. The standard is provided with a hollow center, in which is vertically mounted the post 5,0f tubing, provided at one side with a series of socket-holes 6, adapted to receive the end of a spring-actuated locking-pin 7, provided with a button 8, by which it may be withdrawn to change the location of the post.

It will be understood that any other suitable locking device may be employed that will positively hold the post at any desired position in the standard,

9 is a foot-rest faced with rubber 10, pivotally mounted at 11 between upwardly-extending bearings of the post, and pivoted at her, bearing on the floor.

12 to the underside of the foot-rest is acurved segmental locking-arm 13, provided with a series of notches 14, adapted to engage the thickness of the tubing at the bottom of a vertical slot 15, through which the curved arm 13 passes, a similar slot 16 being made on the opposite side and both slots being of sufficient length to admit of Variations of position of the arm. Owing to such variations the angles of the notches are so located as to sufficient depth to insure holding capacity for polishing pastes and material, and to the bottom of the pan or connected in any suitable manner is a fiat tongue 19, lined on the bottom with some adhesive material 20, as rub- The operator by .placing his foot upon this tongue easily holds thestand against movement or tilting.

When not in use the entire cabinet is covered by a cylindrical apron 21, made of sheet metal, which neatly fits around the legs, resting on recessed ledges 22, and at two or more points the metal is cut and turned inwardly, forming a tongue 23, which registers with and engages in a horizontal groove 24, cut in the face of the leg, and when thus engaged at two or more opposite points the apron is firmly retained against removal, entirely incloses, conceals, and covers the stand, and forms a convenient stool, beingprovided at the upper end with a seat-top 25, of wood, having a hand-hole 26, by which it may be lifted from place to place or away from the cabinet.

My invention will be appreciated by those familiar with the use of such devices, and it is peculiarly adapted to the ends in View. It is very'compact, may be adjusted easily and quickly to different heights and angles, embodies a convenient receptacle in the base, and when closed forms a convenient stool,

which is both serviceable and ornamental. It is particularly adapted for use in barbershops, hotels, or private use, and a particular feature of advantage will be found in the clearance from obstruction around the base of the foot-rest, permitting use of polishing brushes or cloths.

What I claim is 1. A hollow standard provided with supporting-legs, a post adj ustably mounted therein, a foot-rest pivotally mounted on the post, and a pivoted supporting-arm therefor provided with means for locating the foot-rest at varying angles.

2. A hollow standard provided with supporting-legs, a post adjustably mounted therein, a foot-rest pivotally mounted on the post, and a pivoted curved supporting-arm, provided with notches adapted to engage a locking-stop in the post and to support the footrest at varying angles.

8. A hollow standard provided with supporting-legs, a tubular post adj ustably mounted therein, a foot-rest provided with adhesive material on its upper face pivotally mounted on the top of the post, a curved supportingarm pivotally attached at one end to the under side of the foot-rest, passing through slots in the post and provided with notches on its outer edge adapted to engage the edge of the post and to support the foot-rest at varying angles.

4. A hollow standard provided with supporting-legs, a tubular post adj ustably mounted therein, a foot-rest provided with adhesive material on its upper face pivotally mounted on the top of the post, a curved supportingarm pivotally attached at one end to the under side of the foot-rest, passing through slots in the post and provided with notches on its outer edge adapted to engage the edge of the post and to support the foot-rest at varying angles, and a pan-receptacle mounted between the legs at the base.

5. A shoe-polishing cabinet comprising a standard, a post adjustably mounted therein, a foot-restpivotally mounted on the post, a pivoted curved supporting-arm therefor provided with means for locating the foot-rest at varying angles, and a removable cover provided with a seat-top.

6. A shoe-polishing cabinet comprising a standard, a post adjustably mounted therein, a foot-rest pivotally mounted on the post, a pivoted curved supporting-arm therefor provided with means for locating the foot-rest at varying angles, a pan-receptacle in the base, and a removable cover provided with a seat-top.

7. A shoe-polishing cabinet comprising a standard, a post adjustably mounted therein, a foot-rest pivotally mounted on the post, a pivoted curved supporting-arm therefor provided with means for locating the foot-rest at varying angles, a pan-receptacle in the base, a holding device subject to foot-pressure, and a removable cover provided with a seat-top.

In testimony whereof I have hereto set my hand.

ALFRED L. OVERCASIIIER.
