965,253. r Specification. Letters Patent. Pat t July 2 1910, 7 Application filed April 25, 1910. Serial No. 567,802.

To all whom it. may concern: seated the edges 19 of the

doors

38 and 39,

Be it known that I, JAMns E. Tarn, a and each of said doors is provided with citizen of the Umted States, and resldent of Middleton, Georgia, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements' in Kitchen- Cabinets, of which t e following is a specification. I

a sectional kitchen cabinet, and has for its object to provide an outer casing or housin inwhich is located a plurality ofsectiona l containers in which are maintained various ingredients. v

A further object of my invention. is to provide an outer casing or housing'having Its front edge so shape mass for the doors so as to make a' dust and insect-proof closure, and a locking mechanism whereby the several doors of the cabinet are securely fastened and access being had thereto by means of a central opening whose door is provided with an ordinary look.

In the drawings-Figure 1 is a perspective view of my complete invention. Fig. 2 is a'horizontal sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1,'with its doors in closed position. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1, with its doors in closed position Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the central sectional compartments made use of in carrying out my invention. Fig. 5 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of the same.

- Fig. 6 is an enlarged detail horizontal sectional view .of the front edge of the housing showing the door hinged and the dust,

and insect-proof joint. Fig. 7 is a detail .perspective view of the locking mechanism carried by the central compartment by which two of the doors are held in locked position. Fig. 8 is an enlarged detail sectional view through a portion of the central standards with the doors in position, showing the locking mechanism in operative position.

In carrying out my invention I provide an outer casin orhousing 9 composed of a top 10, two si e walls 11, a bottom-12 and a rear Wall 13. On the front edge of the top, sides and bottom I provide a rectangular frame 14 so shaped as to have-one edge 15 contactin with and secured to the housing, the opposite end 16 so bent as to form a lap and securely fastened to the upturned edge 17 of the housing. By this construction I prov-idea recess 18 in which is adapted to be as to provide a rehinges 21 consisting of links 22 which are supported in loops 23 securely fastened to the door and to 100 s 24 securely fastened to the outer edge of the rectangular frame 14. The object of this arrangement is to ThlS invention relatesto improvements in permit the door to swing out away from the Inner edge of the housin in a position as shown by dotted lines in I ig. 6, and at the same time to permit the inner surface of the doors to seat itself in the recess and provide a dust and insect-proof joint.

In the housing and connecting with the upper and lower portion of the rectangular frame, I provide a pair of U-shaped supports or standards 25 which practically divide the interior of the cabinet into three" separate sections. Between the two standards 25 I place the sectional receptacle 26 consisting of the compartment 27, and beneath it the compartment 28; the compartment 27 rovided with an oif-set 29 and in said 0 -set and secured to the upper edge of the compartment 27 is a-compartment 30 provided with a hook 31 by which the same is suspended to the upper edge of the compartment 27.

On the horizontal portion 32 of the compartment 27 I provide my improved locking mechanism which consists of apair of sliding bolts 33, each supported in loops 34 formed of a strip of metal, the rear end of said strip being upturned forming the guide groove 35 in which the inturned ends 36 of the bolts are held and uided. The strip of metal 35 is secured to t e horizontal portion 32 in any desirable manner, such as solder or the like, and in the supports or standards 25 are provided the openings through whlch the bolts 33 are adapted to pass and the edges of the bolts permitted to seat themselves into loops 37 formed on the

doors

3,8 and 39.

To the right of thesectional receptacle 26 and upon the bottom of the housln I place a receptacle-40 which is provide with a door 41. This receptacle acts as a bread or cake compartment, and said door is provided with the usual handle 42 by which the same may be opened or closed. On the to of the receptacle 41 I place three

sectiona rece tacles

43, 44 and 45 located side by si e, each of the-same construction. On the left of the receptacle 26 I provide a receptacle 46 which is preferably used for flour, and

next to this rece ptacle I place the receptacles 12 of t e housing.

On one of the supports or standards 25 is suitably hinged a door 49 which is provided with a lock 50 operated by a key, and

which, when closed, entirely conceals the locking mechanism by whic the

doors

38 and 39 areheld. On the inner face of the door 38 I provide suitable brackets 51 in which a bread-board 52 is'supported. On the inner face of the door 39 I provide brackets 53 in which a cook book 54 or the like is supported. I, also provide brackets 55 and 56 and 57 in which are supported spice receptacles or the like, and on the face of said door is also provided a suitable support 58 in which a rolling pin 59 is supported.

Beneath the

receptacle

43, 44, 46, 47 and 48 are provided suitable recesses in which cups or scoops are placed for receiving the contents of the several compartments.

The entire cabinet may be placed upon a table, but is preferably suspended on the wall by means of the supporting clips 60 fastened to the rear of the cabinet (see Fig. 1).

The essential features of my invention are first, the arrangement of the sectional compartments or receptacles within the housing, and second, the locking mechanism by which the

doors

38 and 39 are independently locked from the central com artment, and when said doors have been ocked, access thereto can be only had by means of first unlocking the center door 49 and then manipulating each of the lockin bolts 33; and third, the formation of the ust and insect-proof connection between the doors and front edge of the housing.

In the door 49 is provided an opening in which is inserted a clock 61 and above the same and on the front surface of the door is located a mirror.

Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim as new and desire to have secured to me by the grant of Letters Patent, is I y l. A kitchen cabinet comprising a housing; a rectangular frame secured to the front edge of the housing; doors secured to the rectangular frame and arranged to be seated when closed in a recess formed by the rectangular frame; a pluralit of sectional v receptacles located'in the hous ng; a locking mechanism carried by the central receptacle whereby two of the doors are held in locked position ;and a central door inclosing the central receptacle, substantially as speci- 2.
