To all. whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, HENRY O. Bninnnn, of Indianapolis, county of Marion, and State of Indiana, have invented a certain new and useful Cabinet; and l do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which like nu morals refer to like parts.

The object of this intention is to provide a cabinet containing drawers that when withdrawn are so mounted that they may be turned laterally and held in the turned position to render their contents accessible.

T he invention. has been applied practically to prescription cases for druggists, the drawers being adapted to contain bottles and the like but it may be used for other purposes. The invention gives to druggists and others a cabinet of much. greater capacity than the ordinary cases of shelving occupying the same wall space. In other words, without increasing the wall space, one can greatly increase the capacity of their means for holding bottles and the like.

The invention also has the virtue of keeping the contents closed from dust.

Another feature oi. the invention consists in providing a drawer open or partially open on one side so that when it is turned laterally, after being withdrawn, it will present all the bottles or contents therein to View and-hold the same so as to be readily accessible.

The full nature of the invention will be understood from the accompanying drawings and the following description -and cl aims.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of my cabinet with the drawers closed. Fig. 2 the same with'drawers partially open and some of them turned laterally.

Fig. 3 is a front elevation of a drawer closed and the surrounding casing partly broken away. Fig. 4 is a vertical section through the cabinet on the line H of Fig. 3 showing the drawer closed. Fig. 5 is a section similar to that shown in Fig. 4 with the drawer open and turned laterally. Fig. 6 is a section on the line 66 of Fig. 3; Fig. 7 is a section on the line 7-7 of Fig. 6.v Fig. 8 is a horizontal section on the line 8-81 of Fig. 6, the different positions of the drawer while losing turned laterally being shown by dotted lines. Fig. 9 is a section on the line 9{) ofi'Fig. T. Fig. 10 is a section on the line 10-10 of Fig. 9.

As shown in the drawings, 10 represents the casing of the cabinetprovidcd with vertical partitions 11 and horizontal partitions 12 that form recesses for drawers 18.

The drawcrshcrein shown have, besides the front wall thereof, a rear wall 14;, a top wall 15, a bottom 10, a horizontal partition 17 midway between the top and the bottom, one side wall 18 that extends from top to bottom and the slats or cars 19 that on tend across one side at points slightly above. the bottom 16 and the partition 17. These slats 19 are for he purpose of preventing the bottles, boxes and the like from falling out when the drawer is in its open position. The drawer is adapted to containhottles 20 and boxes :21 or any other thing, indicated in' Fig. d where the drawer is shown closed. The front has a handle for handling it.

The drawer is guided in the movements into and out of the recess by a pair of angular guide strips 25 soured to the stationary parts forming t recess at each corner thereof, and strl 1.6 that are located so as to slide between the strips 25. Each strip 25 has an overlapping extension or flange 126 that rides and slides upon an inwardly extending flange 125 on each strip 25, as shown in Fig. 7. The drawer is pivotally connected at the top and bottom with said strips 26 by the means shown in Fig. 9. A pin 27 passes through the bottom and also another through the top of the drawer and is externally barbed or.

roughened and forced tightly into the sleeve 28 in the slots 29 of the slides 26. This connection between the drawer and the slides 26 is located midway of said parts. When the drawer is withdrawn it will pull the slide out, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 8, until the drawer is out of the recess or the movement of the slide is stopped by the pin 30, that is secured to the horizontal partition 12 of the casing and projects into the slot 31 in the slide. Then the drawer, which is centrally. rulcrurn'ed. on the slide between the slots at the bottom and top thereof, is turned laterally into the dotted line position shown in Fig. 8 and then pushed inwardly to the full line position shown in Fig. 8 so that the-drawer extends crosswise of the front of the cabinet lot and lies against the unopened drawers on each side.

In the open position the open side of the drawer is exposed to the trout and, therefore, the druggist can easily obtain any package orbottle therein and replace the same in the position from which they were removed without: any diiliculty or confusion. The drawer is returned by reversing the opening operation. that is, it is pulled forwardly from the full line position and then turned 45 degrees and pushed inwardly. The slides 20 are so wide as to furnish a very substantial and broad support for the drawerswhcn in their outer position and since they are held there by the connection shown in Fig. 9, the drawers can not; escape from the slides and the slides can not escape from the guideway in the cabinet by reason of the stops 30 and the guide-strips on each side of the slides. lVh .re light articles are to be used in the cabinet only the bottom slide construction is necessary as that will satisfactorily guide and hold the drawer, but wlpen the contents are relatively heavy there s 'ould be a guide construction at both the top and bottom of the drawer. Therefore, 't is obvious that the drawers may be the d uble compartments shown in Figs. 4 and 6 or the single compartments as shown in Fig. 2, as ones need requires. Such a cabinet may be made relatively deep for when the drawer is withdrawn and turned laterally it lies against the front part of the casing and drawers so that it is partially braced thereby and quite a long drawer may be maintained stably in position.

What I claim as my inventionand desire to secure by Letters Patent is: i i

1. A cabinet including a casing having drawer recesses, a drawer in each recess, means under each drawer for supporting the same in both its inner and outer positions, and a pivotal connection between said drawer and said support that permits the drawer to be slidable inwardly or outwardly on said support and to be turned laterally and held thereon when in its outer position.

2. A cabinet including casing with a drawer recess therein, a drawer support slidable in said recess, and a pivotal connect ion between said drawer and drawer support that permits the drawer to slide longitudinally of said drawer support and to be turned laterally and held thereon when in its outer position.

3. A cabinet including a casing with a drawer recess therein, a drawer support slidable in said recess and having a longitudiinil slot therein, a drawer on said support, a fulcrum pin projecting from said drawer into said slot so that the drawer may be drawn outwardly and turned laterally on said" support and be supported thereby in such position, and a stop for limiting the outward movement of the drawer support.

4-. A cabinet including a casing with a drawer recess therein, a drawer, a support slidable in said recess of the casing upon which said drawer t'ulcruined in a slot so that it may be turned laterally in connection with said sliding supports and be supported thereby in such position, said support being prdvided with a longitudinal stop slot and a pin stationary in the cabinet projecting into said slot for preventing the escape of said support from the recess.

5. A cabinet including a casing with a drawer recess therein, a drawer, and supports slidable in the bottom and in the top of said recess of the casing upon which said drawer is centrally fulcrumed at its top and bottom so that it may be turned laterally in connection with said sliding supports and be supported thereby in such position.

6. A cabinet including a casing with a drawer recess therein, a guide strip secured at each of the four corners of said recess, each guide strip having an inwardly extending flange along the lower part of said guide strip, a drawer support slidable between said guide strips and upon the ledges thereof, each support having a pair of longitudinal slots, stop pins secured at the bottom and top of the recess that project into one groove in each support, and a fulcrum extending vertically from the top of said drawer into the slotsof said supports, substantially as set forth.

7. A cabinet including a casing with a dr wer recess therein, a drawer, and a support adapted to project forwardly beyond the casing, one of said last two members he in longitudinally slotted and the other provi ed with a pin projecting into said slot whereby the drawer will be supported in its outward position by said support so that the drawer may be turned. laterally.

S. A cabinet including a casing with a drawer recess therein, a drawer with its ends, top and bottom and one side closed and the other side open to render the contents accessible when the drawer is drawn outardly, a bar acrt-iss said open side to hold the contents from falling out when the drawer is drawn outwardly, and a support slidable in said recess of the casing upon which said drawer is i'ulcrunicd centrally so that it may be turned laterally in connection with said sliding supports and be sup ported thereby in such position.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto atlixcd my signature in the presence. oi' the witnesses herein named.
