SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 784,499, dated March 7, 1905. Appncaaou nea July 9, 1904. semi No. 215.809.
To ir/ w/wm it muy con/cern:
Be it known that I, ARTHUR M. PADMORE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lead, in the county of Lawrence and State of South Dakota, have invented new and useful Improvements in Racks, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a rest for supporting table accessories--esuch as a knife, fork, and spoons-and is designed to be placed in front of each pla'te at table to receive oneor more of the articles mentioned, and especially in the case of the knife and fork to keep them elevated above the table-cloth, and so avoid soiling it.
It is well known that many persons are nncertain what to do with their knives and forks when called upon to pass their plates for food. Some hold their knives and forks in their hands; others leave them on their plate; others, again, place them on the table, and thereby soil the cloth; but by the use of my invention all uncertainty in regard to the disposition of the knife and fork is avoided, and the diner is` placed at ease.
1n the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved rest, with a knife, fork, and two spoons shown in dotted lines as supported thereon. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the rest.
Similar numerals of reference are employed to indicate corresponding parts in both views.
The numerals 1 and 2 indicate two curved side bars united at their ends to form feet 3. Each side bar is of substantially ogee form, so placed with respect to each other that the greatest distance between them is about intermediate their connected ends, at which place an angularly-disposed cross-brace or supporting-plate 11 is connected to each bar. The bars 1 and 2, which are higher at the cross-bar connections than at their ends, descend from these higher points in curved and other ornamental lines to the feet 3. Feet 5 depend from the The upper edge of thecross-bar 4 is provided with notches 6 and 7 formed by upwardly-extending fingers 8, 9, and 10 or by depressions in the cross-bar. Notches 11 and 12 are formed on the bar 1 between the crossbar t and one of the feet 3 by upwardly and outwardly curved fingers 13 or by depressions in the bar similar to those on cross-bare. The bar 2 is provided with similar notches 11 and 12 between the cross-bar 4 and the other foot 3, the arrangement being such that the relative position of the notches in the cross-bar t to those in the bars y1 and 2 will be the same irrespective of the position of the rack.
Vhen in use, the knife and fork are generally supported in the notches 11 and 12 in the front bar on the right of the rest and in the notches 6 and 7 in the cross-bar 4. The spoons rest in the notches 11 and 12 on the rear bar and at the left of the rack. 1t will thus be observed that a secure support is provided for theknife, fork, and spoons small of compass and compact in form.
The rack will be made ornamental and attractive and varied in shape more or less, as desired, provided the feature of reversibility with notched side and cross bars be retained.
It is to be understood that the word notches7 hereinabove used is to be vtaken in its broadest sense and includes a space be tween two projecting lingers.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new ism- 1. A rest for table use comprising two side bars united at their ends and separated intermediate thereof, a crossbar centrally and angularly disposed between said side bars, and
notches in said cross-bar and in opposite ends A bar con neeting each side bar and also provided with notches in its upper side.
