PATENT OFFICE.
ANDREW N. CANBERG, OF NAPPANEE, INDIANA.
DRESSER OR CHIFFONNIER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 759,667, dated May 10, 1904.
Application filed July 2, 1903. Serial No. 164,067. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, ANDREW N. OANBERG,
a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Nappanee, in the county of Elkhart and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Dressers or Ghiifonniers, of which the following is a'specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in dressers or chiffonniers, and has to do more particularly with that class of furniture in which a washstand attachment is combined with a bureau or chiffonnier, the object being to provide means for getting the parts in small compass and providing an article of furniture which will not only have the utility of the two articles which go to, make it up, but also will be attractive in appearance and, in fact, will not betray the difference to a casual observer from the ordinary bureau or chiffonnier when the parts are closed and the article of furniture is used as such.
I/Vith these objects in view my invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, which will be hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view in perspective of my improved article of furniture in the bureau form, showing the washstand attachment pulled out and parts broken away to show the interior construction. Fig. 2 is a plan view, a portion of the top being broken away and the dotted lines indicating the position of the washstand when pushed in; and Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.
A represents a bureau, which may be made in any style or variety of different sizes and dimensions, with such an arrangement of drawers and compartments as may be preferred, although I have shown the two large drawers 1 and 2, a small upper drawer 3, and false drawer 4, with a door 5, which opens into a cupboard in which are one or more compartments, preferably two compartments, which are indicated by numerals 6 and 7, the lower one adapted to receive a slop-jar or chamber and the upper one any other toilet article. Just in rear of these compartments is a third compartment 8, adapted to receive a pitcher. These several compartments likewise open out through the end of the bureau or chiffonnier, so that access may be gained to all three through the end when the washstand attachment is pulled out into the position shown in Fig. 1 or to compartments 6 and 7 through the door 5.
B indicates the washstand attachment. This comprises a back 10, an end 11, which constitutes the end panel of the bureau or chiffonnier when the washstand is pushed in, closing the three compartments 6, 7, and 8, and the shelf 12, which forms the top of the washstand and is intended to receive and hold the washbowl, soap-dishei, tooth-brush holders, and other toilet articles, a partition 13 being provided to close the space between its inner ends and the top of the bureau when the washstand is pulled out. Beneath is a rack 14, adapted to hold towels,wash-rags,and the like.
The washstand attachment is guided in and out by the back 10, which slides on a track 15 at the bottom, its lower edge being grooved, as at 16, therefor and its upper edge being guided in a groove 17 on the under side of the bureau top. A stop 18 is provided to limit the movement of the washstand. The back 10 is of sufficient length so that when out its full distance adequate support is afforded for the washstand with the weight of the toilet articles resting thereon. To facilitate the movement of the washstand, extension-pulleys and weights or springs may be employed as a means of counterbalancing its weight.
As I have explained, the idea of the invention is to make my improvements applicable alike to bureaus and chiflonniers, and this I desire understood, although I have not deemed it necessary to show a chiffonnierin the drawings. In this way I provide an article of furniture which is well adapted to hotels and boarding-houses, where economy of space is an item of vital consideration, and at the same time it is probably quite asuseful in many private homes and apartments.
It is evident that slight changes might be resorted to in the form and arrangement of the several parts described without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, and hence I do not wish to limit myself to the exact construction herein set forth; but,
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A bureau or chiffonnier having an open end, compartments formed in the bureau or chifi'onnier,the compartments having no walls on the open end of the bureau or chiifonnier, a washstand extension slidingly received within the bureau or ehiflonnier, the end of the washstand extension constituting the end panel and sole closure for the open end of the bureau or chiffonnier.
2. A bureau or chilfonier provided with an open end and compartments likewise having open ends, in combination with a washstand extension, an end section on the washstand extension, the end section constituting an end panel for the bureau or chifionnier when the extension is received in the latter and serving to close the open ends of the bureau and of the compartments.
3. Abureau or ehiffonnier having one open end, and compartments Which-open into said open end, in combination with a washstand extension, the back of which forms a guide therefor in sliding, and the end of which forms the end panel of the bureau or chiffonnierwhich when closed closes the compartments in said bureau or chilfonnier, and a door in the front of the bureau or chiflonnier opening into two ANDREN N. CANBERG.
