TRUNK-LID BRACE Application filed August 3, 1907.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 80, 1908.
Serial No. 386,923.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, OTTo RANGNOW, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Trunk- Lid Braces, of which the following is a speciiication.
My invention relates to improvements in a trunk lid brace and the object of my invention is to construct a brace which will hold the lid of a trunk in a vertical position when the trunk is open and which will offer sullicient resistance in the movement of the same to keep the lid from falling when the latter has not been raised to its highest position; and a further object of my invention is to so construct the brace that the joint of the same will not require any great amount of force to bend the same, which would have a tendency to bend the plates and prevent them from operating properly.
Referring to the drawings: Figure 1. is a vertical cross section of a trunk showing my improved trunk lid brace attached thereto; Fig. 2. is a horizontal section on line 22 Fig. 1, drawn on a larger scale; Fig. 3. is a horizontal section on line 33 Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a vertical section on line 44 Fig. 1.
In the drawing 1 represents the body of a trunk, with the lid 2 shown in full lines in an open osition, and in a closed position 1n dotte lines. The lid is hinged to the body by hinges 4, and when open the lid is held in a vertical position by the brace, consisting of a pivoted plate 5, secured to the trunk body at the ivot point 6, and a connecting plate 8 pivota ly attached to the lid 2, and to the free end of the said pivoted late 5, at the point 9. The said pivoted p ate 5 and the connecting plate 8 will assume the position shown in dotted lines Fig. 1, when the lid is closed.
The pivoted plate 5 is mounted upon a base plate 10 to which it is pivotally connected by the rivet 6. The said base plate is securely fastened to the inside of the end wall of the trunk body by means of rivets 12.
The lid is held in a vertical position by the pivoted plate 5, which bears against a stop 14, secured in the corner of the trunk body and which prevents the lid from -falling back. The base plate 10 is also rovided with a stop 15 which acts as an additional means for holding the pivoted plate 5 and the lid in an upright position.
The base plate 10 is provided with a projection 16 which bears against the lower end of the pivoted plate and retards the movement of the latter and also the movement of the lid, so that the lid will not fall, even though it is not pushed all the way back. The said pivoted plate is provided with an aperture 17 into which the said projection 16 enters and tends to hold the pivoted plate in an upright position. T he stop 14 is also rovided with a projection 18 and the pivoted plate 5 has an aperture 19 formed therein to receive said projection 18. Thus additional means is provided for holding the pivoted late in a vertical position and also for making friction between said plate 5 by causing the plate to spring out over the said projection 18 when the lid is not up to its highest osition, which will tend to prevent the lid l'rom "falling.
he stop 14 is provided with an extension 20 which acts as a side brace 'for the )ivoted plate and also prevents the trunk body from being worn by the movements of the brace.
Having thus described my invention I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
1. In a brace for trunks or the like, the combination of a trunk body, a lid hinged to the same, a pivoted plate pivotally mounted in said trunk body, a connecting plate between said pivoted plate and said lid, and a stop secure( in the corner of the trunk body to protect the latter and take the strain of the said pivoted plate when the latter supports the lid in a raised position.
2. In a brace for trunks or the like, the combination of a trunk body, a lid hinged to the same, a pivoted plate pivotally mounted in said trunk body, a connecting plate between said pivoted plate and said lid, a stop secured in the corner of the trunk body, a projection on said stop, said projection adapted to contact with said pivoted plate and force the latter out of its vertical alinement and said pivoted plate having an aperture formed therein -for the entrance of said projection when the lid is in its raised position.
3. In a brace for trunks or the like, the combination of a trunk body, a lid hinged to the same, a pivoted plate pivotally mounted in said trunk body, a connecting plate between said pivoted plate and said lid, a stop to hold said lid in a vertical position, a base plate secured in the body of the trunk on which said pivoted plate is mounted, a prosaid pro ection when the lid is in its raised posltion.
4. In a brace for trunks or the like, the
combination of a trunk body, a lid hinged to the same, a pivoted plate pivotally mounted in said trunk body, a connecting plate between said pivoted plate and said lid, a stop secured in the corner of the trunk body, a proj ection on said stop with which said pivoted plate contacts when the lid is raised, said 1 pivoted plate having an aperture formed therem to receive said prQ ectiOn, said stop against the pivoted plate having an extension thereon to prevent said pivoted plate from wearing the trunk body, a base plate in the body of the trunk, a projection on said base plate adapted to bear and retard its movement, said pivoted plate having an aperture formed therein to receive the projection on said base plate, and a stop on said base plate to limit the movement of said pivoted plate.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
OTTO RANGN OW.
