KITCHEN-CABINET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 23, 1907.

Application filed October 31,1906. Serial No. 341,406.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY H ARRILD, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Spokane, in the county of Spokane and State of Washington, have .invented certain new and useful Improvements in Kitchen- Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in kitchen cabincts, being in the nature of a combination kitchen table, kitchen safe or cabinet and dining table; and

the invention consists in,ccrtain novel constructions and combinations of parts as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a perspective view, partly broken away of my improved device with the several parts adjusted to adapt it for use as a dining table. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the device with the top opened, the supplemental leaves removed, and placed in the lower part of the stand, and with the slides for supporting said leaves pushed in. Fig. 3 is a detail side view of a portion of the top showing the spice cabinet swung to position for use when the top is raised.

Fig. 4 is a side view partly in section showing the top nearly closed and the position of the spice cabinet in such adjustment of parts, and Fig. 5 is a side view partly in section showing the top lowered and illustrating the position of the spice cabinet in such adjustment of parts.

In carrying out my invention I provide a main frame or stand A and a top B, the latter having a board a hinged at B to one edge of the stand A and provided on its under side with depcndingcleats'd and d between which the spice cabinet 0 is supported, as shown. A rack h is provided between the cleats d and d at the ends thereof adjacent to the hinge joint B, to receive the edges of pans, dishes, etc., and a rod k extending between the cleats d and d above the rack h serves to retain the pans, etc. when placed in the rack, as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing. The top B being hinged at B may be raised from the position shown in Fig. 1 to that shown in Fig. 2, and when in the latter position it will be supported by the chains D connecting it with the main frame or stand, as shown in Fig. 2.

The spice cabinet 0 is formed of a suitable case having the drawers Z to receive the different spices, and the ends of the cabinet are provided with vertical grooves Z into which project pins in from the inner sides the close fitting of the top board a upon the cabinet when the top B is lowered to the position shown in Fig. 5, and yet permit the swinging of the cabinet to the position shown in Fig. 3 when the top is opened.

It will be noticed that the cabinet occupies the space between the front ends of the side cleats d and d and the drawers of said cabinet are exposed when the top is lowered, as shown in Fig. l, as well as when the top is raised, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, so that access may be had to the spice drawers in all positions of the top.

The main frame or stand A has suitable legs a and is provided with a depressed top b set lower than the top of the stand, as best shown in Fig. 2, and forming a working board upon which bread, cake, and the like may be worked and other kitchen operations carried on, as may be desired. The stand has a portion A projecting upwardly above its top board I] and this upwardly projecting portion of the stand forms supports for the front and rear slides e and f, which slide longitudinally relative to themain frame and may be extended to the position shown in Fig. 1 to support the removable leaves 9 and g in forming a dining table, or may be retracted to the position shown in Fig. 2 when a dining table is not desired, and in such position of parts the leaves 9 and g may be supported upon the cross-bars A of they stand below the bins and drawers presently described. These slides e, e and f, f are slotted longitudinally at 0 and p and pins 3 and 8 hold them to the stand, as best shown in Fig. 2, so they may be moved longitudinally to their different positions, as will be understood from Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing.

The stand is provided below its top board with pans x and x which may be used for meal, flour and the like, and between the same with a drawer w for knives and other cutlery and below the drawer u) with a bread board it which may slide in and out, as will be understood from Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing.

When the top B is closed, as shown in Fig. 1, the side cleats d and d fit down along the inner sides of the upwardly projecting portions A of the stand and may rest upon the depressed top board b of said stand, as shown in Fig. 5 of the drawing.

What I claim is 1. The combination of a main frame, a top hinged at one edge thereto, a cabinet below the top at the swinging edge thereof, and devices connecting the cabinet with the top whereby the cabinet may swing pivotally and also move bodily thereon relatively to said top, and drawers in said cabinet and opening towards the swinging edge of the top or to the front whereby the drawers will be exposed and convenient for access in all positions of the top, and the cabinet being of sufficient height and width to form a closure between the top and the main frame when the top is lowered, all substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. A table comprising a main frame or stand having a depressed top board and provided with upwardly projecting portions at the opposite ends of the stand, the top hinged at its rear edge to the stand and arranged to close down upon the upwardly projecting portions at the ends of the stand, and a cabinet of a length equal to the space between said upwardly projecting portions and of a height equal to that of the said portions and adapted to close the space between the said portions and the top board of the stand and the hinged top, after the latter is lowered, and 10 devices connecting the cabinet with the hinged top whereby the cabinet may swing pivotally and also move bodily relative to said top, all substantially and for the purpose specified.
