SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 740,009, dated September 29, 1903. Application filed May 29, 1903. Serial No. 159,381. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WALTER WILLI M- WALKER GREEN, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Staverton, in the county of Northampton, England, .have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Boxes, of which the following is a specification. 7
The object of this invention is to construct a box or basket in such a manner that it can be employed as a-table in addition to its ordinary use as a 'box, besides having articles attached to it for other purposes.
My invention will be understood from the following description, aided by the accompa: nying drawings, in 'which- 1 Figure l is an end view of a box arrange on a stand and with the back and the lid raised to form a table. Fig. 2 is a similar view to Fig. 1 with the back and lid. closed and locked in the closed position. Fig. 3 is a side view of a box arranged on a stand and in which box the hinged back ismade in two pieces, one being closed and the other open to form a table, one end being provided with means for hanging articles and the other with a wash hand-basin. Fig. 4 is an end view of Fig.- 3.
According to this invention I take a box, and in addition to hinging the lid A, I hinge the back B, and I provide such lid and back with hinged rods C, these being notched at D E for engaging pins F, fitted on the inner ends G of the box for holding the lid and back in the'closed or open position.
The box when required in use is arranged on a folding stand H, as shown in the figures, and such stand may be of any known construction and be part of the box or separate therefrom, as desired; but that which I prefer to employ is that shown on the drawings and consists of two sets of two strips of angle-iron H H, joined together at K, one strip, H, being provided with a lug L, which comes against the other strip, H,'and limits the opening movement of both strips. Each set is connected together by bars M M, which pass from the bottom of one set of angle-irons tothe top of the other set, crossing each other, the bars M M being pivoted together at their V crossing parts N. By this construction the an gle-irons and bars can be readily folded tofrom the pins F and allow the back 13 to be pushed out.
According to Fig. 2 the locking-notches D are dispensed with and the back-rods 0 continued a little, so that they pass through holes in the .lid A and project, so that the lid and the back can be secured by padlocks or other devices being passed through the holes in the ends of the rods. This construction is especially applicable for use at picnics, the receptacle being made of wicker-work, as a basket, and the stand being so made with the folding pivot K out of the center that when the standis in the position shown the box can be used as a'table at which a person could stand to partake of refreshments; but if the stand be turned upside down then the table would be of a height that'person-s could sit at it to partake of refreshments.
' According to Figs. 3 and 4 the back is formed in two pieces B B, the piece B being shown open; otherwise the construction is the same as Fig. 1. The ends are provided with sockets capable of holding various devices, such as a hooked stem I and a cloth waterbasin' J, and also with handles P by which such box can be carried. This construction (shown at Figs. 3 and 4) is especially suitable as a kit-box for use by soldiers, yeomanry, horse-trainers, stablemen, andothers, as the hooked rod may be employed for hanging the "bridle" and other appliances. The saddle may 1.

2. Abox having a hinged back and a hinged lid mounted for movement into a common horizontal plane to constitute a table, combined with rods connected to the said hinged 10 back and hinged lid respectively, having notches, the box being provided with pins to enter said notches to hold the back and lid in said common horizontal plane,
3. Abox having a hinged back and ahinged lid mounted for movement into a common plane to constitute a table, one of said parts consisting of a plurality of sections one of which is adapted tovbe moved independently of the other, combined with means housed by the box for holding the back and lid in said
