CHRISTOPHER O. BOYKIN, OF NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, ASSIGNOR TO THE BOYKIN-ROPER SPECIALTY 00., OFNORFOLK, VIRGINIA.
Fl LE-CASE -D R-AWER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No 690,352, dated December 31. 1901- Applioation filed March 14, 1901. Serial No. 51,154. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHRISTOPHER 0. Boy.- KIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk and State of Virginia, have invented a new and useful File-Case Drawer, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to a file-case drawer.
The object of thepresent invention is to provide for file-cases and the like a simple, inexpensive, and efficient drawer adapted to receive and support the contents of a pigeonhole or compartment and form a door for the latter and capable of being drawn outward and swung laterally to uncover the pigeonhole or compartment and afford access to the contents of the same without removing it therefrom.
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.
In thedrawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a file-case provided with drawers constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view of one of the pigeonholes or compartments, the drawer being closed. Fig. 3 is a'perspective view of the drawer.
Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.
1 designates a file-case provided with pigeonholes or compartments 2 and having drawers 3, composed of a bottom 4 andla front wall or door 5, adapted to close the pigeonhole or compartment, as clearly illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings. The bottom of the drawer is provided at one side with an approximately triangular recess or on t-away portion 6, which permits the drawer to be swung laterally, as illustrated in Fig. l of the drawings, to expose the contents of the drawer without removing the latterfrom the pigeonhole or compartment. The outward movement of the drawer is limited by a stop 7, consisting of a vertical pin or projection extending upward from the bottom of the pigeonhole or compartment and ofiset from one of the sides thereof and adapted to be received in a slot 8 of the drawer, as clearly shown in Fig. 1. The slot 8 extends rearward from the rear wall of'the recess or cut-away portion 6 and it permits the drawer to be moved longitudinally and swung laterally, the vertical projection of stop 7 forming a pivot for the drawer in such movement.
The drawer is supported in a horizontal position when it is extended and swung laterally by means of a horizontal projection 9, extending laterally from the wall of the pigeonhole or compartment and engaging the side of the bottom t at the side opposite that which is cut away or recessed. The horizontal projection, which may be of any desired construction, is conveniently formed by a staple, and it is received within a longitudinal groove or rabbet 10, to arrange it below the plane of the upper face of the bottom of the drawer to prevent it from coming in contact with the contents of the same. The groove or rabbet 10 extends rearward from a point adjacent to the front or outer end of the bottom, and it is curved at its rear portion 11, the
rear corner of the bottom beingcut away at that point and rounded to permit it to clear the adjacent wall of the pigeonhole or compartment when the drawer is swung laterally. The horizontal projection 9 is adapted to support the drawer in ahorizontalposition when the latter is extended, and it prevents the same from falling or dropping from the pigeonhole or compartment.
It will be seen that the drawer, which is composed of only abottom and front, is adapted to be drawn outward partially and swung laterally, and that when extended it affords convenient access to the contents of the pigeonhole or compartment and that when moved inward it closes the same and forms a door therefor. It will also be apparent that it is adapted to partially withdraw the papers or other contents of the pigeonhole and that it is firmly supported in a horizontal position when extended.
\Vhat I claim is 1. A file-case having pigeonholes, and provided with drawers arranged to receive the contents of the pigeonholes and comprising a bottom, anda Vertical front forming a door and arranged to close the pigeonholes, said drawers being capable of a-limited longitudinalslidingmovement and, the bottoms being cut away at one side to permit the drawers sisting of a vertical front or door arranged to close the compartment, and a bottom supported upon the bottom of the compartment and arranged to slide longitudinally of the same and cut away at one side to permit the drawer to swing horizontally, and means for limiting the longitudinal movement of the drawer and for supporting the same in a horizontal position, substantially as described.
'3. In a device of the class described, the combination with a compartment provided at its bottom with a stop, of a drawer consisting of a front and a bottom cut away at one side to form an approximately triangular recess and having a slot extending rearward from the rear wall of the recess and receiving the projection of the bottom of the compartment, substantially as described.
4. In a device of the class described, the combination with a compartment, of a drawer consisting ofa vertical front or door and a bottom cut away at one side to permit the drawer to swing laterally when partially drawn out, and a projection engaging the other side of the drawer and supporting the latter in a horizontal position when the same is extended substantially as described.
5. In a device of the class described, ,the
combination with a compartment, ofa drawer tom at thegroove or rabbet and mounted at the adjacent wall of the compartment, substantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
