PATENT EEICE.
RICHARD SCI-IOLZE, OF DRESDEN, GERMANY.
TRAY OR TABLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 687,439, dated November 26, 1901. Application filed April 4, 1899. Serial No. 711,719. (No modali) To @ZZ whom t may concern.-
Be it known that I, RICHARD SOHOLZE, a subject of the King of Saxony, residing at Dresden, Saxony, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in or Relating to Trays or Tables, (for which application has been made in Great Britain, No.
6,400, dated March 24, 1899,) of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to an improved tray or table having a soft top surface of velvet or the like--such as may be used for money, cards, or other articles-the said top surface being surrounded by araised ledge or rim of metal, Wood, or the like. Such trays and tables as used at the present time and made of glass, marble, vulcanite, and the like become worn out or unsightly very quickly and do not fully meet requirements. A very favorable result, however, is obtained by covering the top surface of such a board or table with tight-fitting velvet or similar long-stapled material and surrounding it with a rim of wood or metal. The velvet when soiled may be chemically cleaned and when Worn out replaced by a new piece. y
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side View, partly in section, of a tray with pivot-ed catches and adjusting-screws. Fig. 2 is a plan view, and Fig. 3 an under side view, of part of the tray represented in Fig. 1.
The rim or frame d of circular, oval, or rectangular or other shape is made of metal, wood, or other hard material and is provided on the under side with a groove d, eX-
vtending completely around the frame, which groove is provided with teeth or projections e, tapering toward the bottom. .The frame has also an inwardly-projecting overhanging edge b2. This groove serves for the reception of the board b, on which the piece e of velvet or the like is placed. On placing thc frame a over the board b with its velvet cover the teeth e will press With their tapering faces against the material c and draw it evenly down on all sides of the board and by pressing it against-the edge of the board li will secure it firmly in position.
On the under side of the board b are several turn-buttons or catches h, provided with adj Listing-screws f, their ends being adapted to engage with the ledges g of the frame a. By turning the adjusting-screws it is possible to very firmly secure the cover c, the teeth e holdingit while the board?) is pressed upward.
I claim- The combination with a frame having a groove upon its under side extending around the frame, and an inwardly-projecting overhanging edge, of a board fitting removably in the groove, a cover stretched over the upper face of the board and conlined between said face and the under side of the overhanging edge, tapered teeth on the frame projecting within the groove and adapted to engage With the said cover, as described, turnbuttons on the under side of the board and adjusting-screws carried by the turn-buttons, the ends of the latter being adapted to engage with the frame, as and for I[he purpose set forth.
In .testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
RICHARD SCHOLZE.
