Letters Patent No. 92,798, dated July 20, 1869.
IMPROVED DRAWER-GUIDE.
*MPM
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
specification, in which- Figure l is a top View of a set of drawers provided with om' improved guide, and
Figure 2 is a vertical cross-section of the same.
Our invention has for its object to render drawers less apt to jam at their ends, and to materially decrease friction; and consists in providing a guide, as will be presently more fully explained. i Similar letters of reference denote like parts in the diiierent figures.
A A are the ends of the ordinary case, into which the drawers are fitted.
B are the back, and C the front, or division-strips between the several drawers.
D is the drawer, which is cutaway, as seen at a, to lit around the guide E, as clearly seen in fig. 2.
rllhe guide E isa simple strip, arranged midway between the ends ofthe case, and secured between the ii'ont strips C and the back B firmly, the said guide dropping below the under side of the strip C, a distance equal to the depth of the slot a in the drawer; and the front of the drawer and the strip C being ofthe same thickness, it will be seen that the protrudingl portion of the guide forms a shoulder against which the front of the drawer comes in contact the moment it is fairly at home, thus lpreventing over-shooting. The guide is, of course, arranged perfectly'horizontal or parallel with the bottom of the drawer.v
The operation of a drawer provided with our guide is as follows:
The drawer being started in, is held by its ways at either end, and the guide in the centre, the lattertaking into the slot a in the back of the drawer, and the bottoni edge of the saine resting upon the top of the next guide below. Continuing to push the ch'awer, it slides along upon its ways and guide, and preserves a relation to the front of the case, which is always parallel, thus preventingany jamming at the ends, which is an evil always attending drawers of' any considerable length.
It will be seen that with the application of our guide, a force exerted at either one or both ends of the drawer will operate the same eiiectually.
In cases where the strips C are wide and the drawers shallow, a block may be attached to the under edge ofthe drawer, back in line with the slot a, which will rest vand slide upon the ne.'\'t guide below. E
lhe peculiar advantage of the slot a, is, thatshould the guide warp alittle, the distance o f Contact between the drawer and guide being only equal to the thickness of the drawer-back, it would not materially' aiiect the successful operation of the drawer. The guide may be square, dovetailed, or other shape.
Having described the construction and operation of our improved guide,
, What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-' The drawer-guides E, arranged as described, in combination with the slot a in the drawer-back, :is and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.
In testimony whereof, witness our hands, this 14th day oi'hfiay, 1869. f
GEC. -S. CURTIS. HENRY CURTIS.
Witnesses:
JOHN W. HOFFMAN, CALME CUR'rrs.
