PATENT OFFICE.
COMBINED KITCHEN AND DINING TABLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 784,728, dated March 14, 1905.
Application filed December 18,1903. Serial No. 185,633.
i To (all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL ASTALOS, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing at Silverdale, in the county of Kitsap and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Kitchen and Dining Table, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to table-tops, and more particularly to tops for kitchen and dining tables, and has for its main object to provide.
simple and economical means for enlarging or reducing the available size of a table-top without the use of drop ends or insertible leaves, as is the common practice.
To this main end and object the invention consists incertain features of construction and the combination of devices, as hereinafter more fully described in the specification and finally pointed out in the appended claim.
In the accompanying drawings, wherein like parts are designated by corresponding reference-letters, Figure 1' is a plan view of a table embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a perspective fragmentary end view, and Fig. 3 a cross-sectional view of the table shown in Fig. 1. Figs. 4 and 5 are respectively perspective views of the cover-lock and the securing plate therefor.
The table to which my invention is applied may, as regards the frame, be of any suitable shape, though preferably oblong in horizontal section, such as the ordinary four-legged pattern of kitchen-table or what is known as a kitchen-cabinet, wherein is provided a plurality of drawers and bins for various uses. The drawings, however, show the four-legged variety and may advantageously contain immediately beneath the table-top a drawer at one end for the reception of cutlery or the like and at the opposite end a compartment for table-linen and to which access can be had when the cover is turned, as will presently appear.
The table-top, wherein my invention principally resides, is made of two equal-sized parts a and 6, each of somewhat greater length and breadth than the upper portion of the table-frame, but of analogous shape, preferably.
The part a is pivotally connected, as by a bolt passing through a cross bridge-piece (Z of the table-frame, and positioned outside of both the longitudinal and transverse medial planes of the table in order that when the top is turned to be at right angles with its greatest length one of the longer edges 6 of top part a will coincide with mid-length of the table-frame. To this edge e is foldably secured by hinges ,7 the other top part, 7). By this construction the top is capable of being opened to the position as shown by broken lines :0 in Fig. 1, suitable for dining purposes.
Included in the invention are means for securing the top in either of its set positionsthat is to say, where closed or where spread outand comprises a vertically disposed swivel-pin g, mounted loosely in a socket h, which is fixedly secured to the table-frame, and securing-plates k and Z9, fixedly secured to the top parts in such positions that the elongated apertures Z thereof will register with the said swivel-pins when the top is in either of its aforedescribed set positions. The said swivel-pin is provided with rectangularly-projecting ends 712 and n to form, respectively, an actuating-handle and a hook, which latter is entered into the said slots and afterward turned to engage with said plate.
The plate 70 is secured to the under face of the part b at an approximately central point, (see Fig. 1,) whereby when the top part b is swung on its hinges f and both parts a and turned on the pivot-bolt c to a position illustrated in dotted lines, Fig. 1, said plate 71: will overlie the swivel-pin thereby permitting the parts to be locked in open position.
It is apparent from the foregoing description that the invention is of extreme usefulness and places within the reach of people of moderate means and who may be unable to afford to buy separate tables for culinary and dining uses a single article of furniture of moderate cost which will supply both purposes. Furthermore, it takes up no more space than the common kitchen-table and somewhat less than the ordinary types of diningtable, besides obviating the use of insertible leaves, which at best are unwieldy and occupy considerable room.
said means comprising a single pin svviveled at one end of the frame, and a pair of slotted I 5 plates, one being secured to each part of the top, said pin having angularly-disposed ends, one of which is adapted to pass through the slots of either of said plates.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
SAMUEL AsTALos.
