Patented December 15, 1903.
JOHN WOLF, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
TRUNK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 747,107, dat d D b 15, 1903. Application filed July 13,1903. Serial No. 165,280. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN WOLF, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Louis, State of Missouri, have invented certain new and usefullmprovernents in Trunks, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.
My invention has relation to improvements in trunks; and it consists in the novel construction of trunk more fully set forth in the specification and pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a rear elevation of the trunk closed. Fig. 2 is an end elevation thereof. Fig. 3 is an end view show ing the lid swung open. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the corner-hinge; and Fig. 5 is an enlarged sectional detail on line 5 5 of Fig. 1, showing the cover-strip over the seam between the lid and body of the trunk.
The present invention is a qualification of the construct-ion shown in United States Letters Patent granted to me on October 31, 1899, No. 635,832, the purpose thereof being to make the present trunk serviceable as a walltrunk while hinging the lid along the rear wall of the trunk.
In detail the invention may be described as follows:
Referring to the drawings, 1 represents the body portion of the trunk, along the upper edge of whose rear wall is pivoted the lid 2. In the present construction the rear wall of the trunk is extended upward to a height corresponding to the plane ofthe under surface of the top of the lid when the latter is closed, the lid being hinged along the upper edge of the said rear wall, the hinge-axis being slightly below said edge, Fig. 5, so that the lid when open will project a slight distance rearward of the plane of the rear wall of the body portion, Fig. 3. The amount of this projection, however, is so slight that the trunk when open can be pushed practically against the wall of the room in which it may be placed.
The lid is secured to the body portion by terminal hinges composed of a corner-leaf 3, passed over the corner of the lid and embracing the meeting surfaces of the-top wall, end wall, and rear edge thereof, Fig. 4:, and
a leaf 4, secured to the end of the rear wall of the body portion. The leaf 4., moreover, has a deflected portion 4. secured to the end wall of the body portion, such deflected portion being further provided with an ofiset or pocket 5 for the reception of the corner-piece 6, carried at the rear lower corner of the end wall of the lid, said corner piece bearing when the lid is closed along the rear vertical wall of the pocket and the lower horizontal ledge 5, forming the base of the pocket, the shoulder 6 of said corner-piece, moreover, bearing against the inclined edge of the wall of the pocket, so that the parts are mutually stiffened and strengthened. The lid is additionally fastened by the intermediate hinges composed of leaves 7, secured to the wall of the body, and angle-leaves 8, secured to the lid.
Disposed over the seam formed between the upper edge of the rear wall of the body portion and the lower face of the lid is an angular cover-strip 9 made of thin metal, said strip being secured to the lid and passing under the several leaves mounted on said lid, Figs. 1 and 5. The hinge-axis of the lid being, as before stated, below the upper edge of the wall carrying the same, it follows that as the lid is swung open (see dotted position of parts in Fig. 5) the lower edge of the strip 9 will swing away from said wall, so that the presence of the strip in no wise interferes with the free swinging of the lid.
It is of course apparent that I may depart in a measure from the details here shown without aflecting the nature or spirit of my invention.
It is of course obvious that with the present construction there is no rear wall to the lid.
Having described my invention, what I claim is- In a trunk, a suitable body portion, a lid therefor adapted to close along a line parallel to the adjacent upper edge of the lid, terminal hinges composed each of a corner-leaf embracing the meeting surfaces of the top wall,
end wall, and rear edge of thelid, a second.
leaf secured to the rear wall and having a defiected portion secured to the end wall, a pocket forming a part of the deflected portion of the second leaf, the wall of the pocket having an inclined edge, a corner-piece carried by the lower rear corner of the end wall In testimony whereof I affix my signature adapted to enter said pocket, and having a in presence of two Witnesses. shoulder adapted to rest against theinclined edge of the pocket, the rear wall of the trunk JOHN WOLF 5 extending to a height corresponding to the Witnesses:
plane of the under surface of the lid when EMIL STAREK, closed, substantially as set forth. I MARY D. WHITOOMB.
