GEORGE M. UTTERBACK, OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, ASSIGNOR TO UTTERBACK MANU- FACTURING COMPANY, OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, A CORPORATION OF WASH! INGTON.

TOILET AND DRESSING TABLE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE M. U'r'rnn- BACK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Seattle, in the county of King and State of WVashington, have invented a new and Improved Toilet and Dressing Table, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part thereof.

My invention relates to toilet and dressing tables, and more especially to theatrical make up tables, and comprises a table having as a part of its top, hinged mirrorearrying leaves adapted to be swung up, to the right and left, respectively to bring the mirrors into operative position, the leaves when so swung up uncovering a space, within the body of the table, which customarily contains receptacles of various kinds.

The invention further comprises an improved mounting for the side mirrors referred to, and other features as hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

The objects of my invention are to improve the construction of toilet and dressing tables such as described, and to provide a table of simple design which will present at will, either a closed top or an open top, with side mirrors conveniently arranged, and with receptacles for toilet articles and the like exposed.

The accompanying drawing shows in per spective one form of table embodying my invention.

In the drawing, a designates the rear portion of the table top, constituting, when the table is open, as shown, a rear shelf, and 7) designates a tilting mirror at the rear of the table, arranged as is customary in toilet tables and pivoted at 70.

c c designate side mirrors which, when elevated, form left and right mirrors respectively, and the backs of which, when said mirrors are swung down, form parts of the table top. As shown, these mirrors 0 0' when raised, expose a space of considerable dimension below the table top and in the body of the table, which space is customarily divided up for the reception of various toilet articles and the like. I have indicated in the drawing one such arrangement of the interior space of the table, d

designating a rotary carrier for face powder, powder puffs, etc., cdesignating a sliding holder for hair pins or the like, and f f 7, etc., designating various other compartments.

The side mirrors, 0, c, are pivoted respectively to swinging pieces g, themselves adapted to form other portions of the table top, but hinged to the frame of the table so as to be capable of being swung into the vertical position, as shown, or into the horizontal position, in which latter position the backs of the mirrors 0 c and the tops of these pieces 9 are flush with and form parts of the top of the table. it designates the pivots by which the mirrors are pivoted to these pieces 9, so as to be capable of being swung into different angular positions, and z designates catch bolts for holding the mirrors c c in line with their respective pieces 9, when so desired. To hold the side mirrors upright, I provide pivoted slotted braces j, such as are commonly employed in various arts for holding up swinging members.

It will be observed that when the side mirrors are swung up as shown, they cooperate with the back mirror I), to aiford View of the users face and figure from various points, and to give a desirable range of illumination; and that when these mirrors are swung down, they not only conceal the various internal compartments of the table, but also produce a smooth table top adapted for various purposes.

What I claim is:

1. A toilet or dressing table, formed with an interior compartment, and with swinging top leaves or sections hinged at the sides and adapted when in horizontal position to close such compartment and when elevated to re veal such compartment, said leaves provided with mirrors which are exposed in operative position when the said leaves are elevated to vertical position, and means for holding such leaves in vertical position, and an upright mirror at the rear of the table which is between the mirrors carried by said leaves when the latter are elevated.

2. A toilet or dressing table, formed with an interior compartment, and with swinging top leaves or sections hinged at the sides and adapted when in horizontal position to close such compartment and when elevated to reveal. such oinpartrnent, said an 11 right mirror at the rear of the table leaves each formed in two parts one of whici is between the mirrors carried by said which is hinged to the table frame to be leaves When the latter are elevated.

swung up or down, the other of which is GEORGE M. UTTERBACK.
