` LADYs WORK-TABLE.

To all 'whom may concern Be it known that I, CELIA R. P. IVoon, (now by marriage CELIA R. P. FosTER,) of Canandaigua, in the county of Ontario and State of New York, have inventedA a new and useful Improvement in VVork-Stands, which I denominate the Jenny Lind VVork- Table; I herebydeclare the following to be a full, clear, and eXact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which e Figure 1, is a perspective view of the stand,and candle holders attached; Fig. 2, a section thereof; Fig. 3, a top view of the drawers detached. y

Similar letters indicatelike parts in all of the figures.

The lower part of my work stand consists of a frame work, or low table A A I-I I-I Fig. 1, with 2 slide drawers or steps, E D in the front side, elevated one above the other, when drawn out as represented at E D Figs.

l, and 2, of these steps one or both may be drawn out at once, and'forming a single stool, or two stools `placed one above the other. In order to make the steps ,broader I form on arch over each step represented at I, J, Fig. l.

The upper leaf B is mounted upon the lower part A A H H Fig.1, and supported by the standard X rising from the center of the lowerpart at N Fig. 1, under the leaf B, Fig. l, I place a rotary leaf or disk G Fig. 1, working on a journalformed by the standard X Figs. 1, and 2, which passes through an aperture in its center P, Fig. 3. Drawers R R Q Fig. 2, are placed on the upper side of the disk G and made fast by the screws U U U U Fig. 3. The rotary disk rests upon the stationary pin K and thereby enabling the person to turn the disk G and drawers R R Q to the right or left, `bringing any of the `drawers on the front `sideof the stand. By removing the pin K and placing it in different holes in the standard the disk and drawers can be raised or lowered independent ofthe screw L Fig. 2

as is shown in dotted lines at M Fig. 2. To

the leaf B is attached a portable pin cushion l, Fig. 2 sewing pin 2 Fig.` 2 and candle holders 3 Fig. 2, these candle holders are fastened to the cross arm S Fig. 2 by thumb screws V, V, and can be removed at pleasure leaving said cushion and sewing pin on the stand, the cross arm S is held to the block Z by the thumb screw T and the said block is attached to the leaf B by the thumb screw IV. The upper leaf B cushion sewing pin" and candle holders are raised simultaneously by the screw L to suit different persons. i

ment what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The mounting of the upper leaf B, and disk G with the drawers R R Q on the rotary standard X, thus raising or lowering the whole to suit different persons by the screw L.

2. I claim the rotary disk with drawers hung thereon by the screw V, supported by the pin Kwhioh can turn round the standard independent of the leaf, or standard B X and raised or lowered as herein set forth.
