EDWARD S. MORSE, OE SALE-M, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR T0 HlMSELF 1 AND AARON'GOLDTHWAITE, JR..A
Letters Patent No. 76,232, datent March 31, 1868.
' nurnovrn SHELF-BRACKET.- l
TO ALL WHOM 1T MAYv CONCERN:
Be itknown that I, EDWARD S. MORS, of Salem, in the county ot' Essex, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and improved Adjustable Bracket for Supporting Shelves; andI dofhereby declare the'following tobe afull and correct description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in 'Which-M Figure 1 is a perspective view of a book-case or cabinet with my bracket in place for supporting a'shelf, two modes oi' attaching the bracket to the casebeing represented;
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the bracket, the shelf and frame being shownin section.
Figure is a similar elevation, the braoket-beingattached to the frame ofthe case by means of eyes xed by screws.
The same part is marked by thesame letter of reference Wherever it occurs.
In growing libraries andcabinets `it frequently becomes necessary or desirable to alter the arrangement of the shelves on which the books orother collections are supported, by placing them nearer together or farther' apart, as the exigencies of theA collection may require; and various methods have been devised for e'ecting these changes, but so far as Iamfawarc they haveall been attended with inconveniences and objections that have greatly restrictedvtheir use, Y
The object of my'invention is to supplya bracket and a mode of attaching it to the framework of thebook= cases or cabinets, which shall aiiord the means of making changes in any portion of the shelving of a library or' cabinet with great facility, while ample support is aiibrded at all times to the shelves.
The invention consists of a removable bracket, which is hung to the frame of the shelving by means of a hook on its end, passing into an eye attached to the. frame, or over a pin, arranged in a suitable recess in the frame, and having a. brace on its under side, Whose-lower end is likewise supported by an eye or pin, said brace supporting the weight ot' the shelf, which rests uponuthe horizontal portion of the bracket, any desirable'num` ber of eyes or recesses being provided in advance in the frame, to admit ofthe changesthat may become neces-A sary, all as hereinafter more particnlarlydescribed and shown.
In the accompanyingl drawings, A marks the sides, top, and bottom, and B the back oi' a book-case or cabig net. C C are tivo uprights let into theback of the case, and serving as supports to the brackets D. Recesses 1' are cut in" these uprights, and pins p are driven transversely across them, as 'sho-Wn in iigs. 1 and 2. The bracket D consists of a horizontal arm and an inclined brace, a. rlhcinncr end of the horizontal arm is turned dovfn to form a hook, t. The lower end ofthe brace a isnotched or forked, to receive a pin, p. The width of the bracket should be vsuchfas to all-civ it to enter freely and iit snugly the recesses r. When inserted, the hook h catches on'th'e pin p, while the notch or forkf,in the lower end of brace a, embraces the pin p in the lower' recess,ias clearly shown in fig. 2. The insertion or removal of the bracket can be eiected in an inappreciable space of time, and when a pair of brackets are in place, a shelf', S, has merely to be laid upon them to complete lthe operation. I
The upright, C', husa double rowof recesses tdreceive two sets of brackets, so that the ends of two conA tiguous shelves shall rest upon separate brackets, and each sheli` beremovable independently of' the others.
Another method of hanging the brackets is illustrated in connection with the upright, E, figs. l and 3. In this case eyes, e, are let into and screwed to the upright, E, bythe screws s. The hook t and forkf of the bracket apply to these'eyes in the same. way that they do to the pins of the' recesses r. I do not prefer this method of supporting the brackets, and I describe it only because it seems to afford a ready means of applying the prim ciple of my invention to book-cases and cabinets already made, Without involving anyxmodiiicaticn of their construction.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I'claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-n 1. The method herein described` of supporting shelves upon removable brackets, construeted'and operating as and for tlie purpose described.
2. The combination and arrangemnt ofthe bracket D'7 upright, C, recess 1', and'pin d, in the manner and for the purpose specified.
3. The combination of tbe bracket D, eye c, and upright, E, in the manner and for the purpose seb forth. The above specification of my said invention signed and witnessed ab Boston, this 21st day of February, A. D. 1868.
EDWARD S. MORSE.
