Description

@nit-sh ltaire atrnt @Hirn J. G, l GREENE, OF PORT HENRY, NEW YORK.

i Letters-Patent No. 69,799, dated October 15, 1867.

IMPROVBD PAN IIL-TABLE.

'lO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, J. G. GREENE, of Port Henry, in the county of Essex, nand State of New York, have invented a new and improved Panel-Table; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof; which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- YFigure 1 is a. side view of my improved panel-table, closed part being broken away to show the construction.

Figure f2 is a vertical section of the same, taken through the line :c z, iig. 1.

Figure 3 is a cross-section of the same, taken through the line y y, fig. l.

My invention has for `its object to-.so construct the panel ends of sewing-machine cases and other articles of furniture, or. thepanelling at the side of a room or beneath a window, that it maybe drawn out sc as to form a. table; and it consists in the combination ofthe sliding panel with the grooved frame in which it slides, and

I with the cap or top of said panelling, as hereinafter more fully described.

A represents the frame of the panel ingrooves, in which the panel B slides vertically. The grooves in the vframe A, in which the panel B slides, have smaller grooves formed in them, in which the pivoting-pins C slide up and down. The rear side of the lower edge of `the panel B- is rabbeted, as shown in tig. 2, so as to rest against the lower side of the cap or top D, to support the panel in a horizontal position. E is the inner board of the casing, the upper end of which is channfered, as shown in fig. 2, to give space for the end of the panel B to move vthrough when-changing from a vertical to a horizontal position. D is the top of the case or other article of furniture, or the cap of the panelling. In raising the panel B the pivoting=pins C strike against the underside vof the cap or top D, which prevents the panel from being drawn wholly from the frame vA. This arrangement. of the panel may be applied to sewing-machine cases, work-tables, or other articles of furniture, or it may be applied to the casing, of the room beneath the Window, or in any other desired place. It should be observed that the under side of the part of the top or cap yagainst which the rabbeted lower end of the panel B rests when said` panel. has been turned into a. horizontal position should also be rabbeted, so that` the upper side of the said panel, when turned down, may be in the same horizontal plane with the upper surface of the said top or cap, so that it may serve as a continuation of the` said top. v

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, apd desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the sliding pvoted panel B with the grooved frame A in which it works, and with the top or cap D of the article or casing, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

The above specication of my invention-signed by Vme this 23d day of March, 1867.

J G. GREENE.
