TRUIVIAN E. STARK, 0F NAPERVILLE, ILLINOIS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed November 11, 1908.
Patented Dec. 1909. Serial No. 462,131.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, TRUMAN E. STARK, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Naperville, county of Dupage and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Portable Writing or Drawing` Desks, of which the following is a speciiication, and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof.
This invention relates to improvements on the desk forming the subject of Letters Patent No. 642,383, granted to me January 80th, 1900, its object being to provide an improved support for the easel; and it consist-s of the device as hereinafter described and which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- A Figure 1 is a perspective of the desk partially open, the position of the parts when open being indicated by dotted lines; Fig. 2 is a detail plan view of the base showing the improvedeasel support; Fig. 3 is an end view of the desk when open, the position assumed by various parts thereof as the desk is opened being indicated by dotted lines; Fig. 4 is a transverse vertical section of the desk showing it in the closed position.
The base 10 of the desk is a shallow oblong rectangular boX having pencil and paper trays. The cover of this box is shown as composed of a plate 11 having binding strips 12, 18, along its edges, and the` cover is secured to the box by means of links 14 (only one of which appears in the drawings) pivotally attached to the ends of the two members, permitting the cover to be overturned.
An easel 15 is hinged to the inner face of the plate 1l a short distance from its upper edge, considering the cover as loverturned for use as a writing or drawing table. The support for the easel is a rod 16, the body portion of which is housed wit-hin a longi' tudinal channel 17 formed in the under face of the base 10 adjacent its upper or rearward edge, the end portions of the rod being bent laterally or upwardly to form legs 18, 19, the eXtreme ends of these legs being bent inwardly to form pivots 20 (only one of which appears in full lines in the drawings), entering the side edges of the easel 15.
The base is apertured through its upper face, as shown at 21, 22, at the ends of the channel 17 to accommodate the legs 18, and
in order that the easel may be folded to lie flat upon the base the legs 18 are bent forwardly at their lower ends, as shown at 23. The lower face of the base is preferably covered with a plate 24, which closes the channel 17, reventing the rod 16 from escaping therefrom.
The parts are so proportioned that when the desk is closed, the easel being then folded against the inner face of the cover plate l1, the rod 16 bears against the rearward wall of the channel 17 with sufficient pressure to prevent the forward edge of the cover from being raised, and the bend 23 in the legs 18 contributes to the accomplishment of this function, permitting some spring action in the easel support.
I claim as my invention- 1. In a portable drawing and writing desk, in combination, a base, a cover hinged to the base by links attached to the ends of said parts, an easel hinged to the inner face of the cover near one of its edges, and a leg for the easel hinged thereto and to the base, such leg comprising a rod pivotally attached to the base adjacent one of its edges and having its ends bent laterally and pivotally engaged with the side edges of the easel.
2. In a portable drawing and writing desk, in combination, a base, a cover hinged to the base by links attached to the ends of said parts, an easel hinged to the inner face of the cover near one of its edges, and a leg for the easel hinged thereto and to the base, such leg comprising a rod housed in a channel in the base adjacent one of its edges and having its ends bent laterally and pivotally engaged with the side edges of the easel.
3. In a drawing and writing desk, in combination, a base having a longitudinal channel in its lower face and apertures opening through its upper face at the ends of the channel, a reversible cover connected to the base by links pivotally attached to the ends of such members, an easel hinged to the inner face of the cover, and a leg for the easel comprising a rod housed within the channel and having its end portions bent upwardly and forwardly and inwardly, the inturned ends entering the side edges of the easel as pivots.
