Kitchen-cabinet.

Application filed December 12,1901. Serial No. 85,648. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Andrew K. Wilson, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illi5 nois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Kitchen-Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved cabinet. Fig. 2 is a vertical section io of the same on the line 2 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the same on the line 3 3, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of a receptacle-holder. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of a part of the door *5 hinged to the front of the base of. the cabinet, showing the clamping members for holding the rolling-pin; and Fig. 6 is a detail side view of a cover for one of the receptacles carried by the cabinet.

2o 6 represents a cabinet rectangular in shape and suitably ornamented,having a base 7 and a series of shelves or partitions 8, said partitions extending longitudinally of the cabinet from side to side and from front to back therein, the base 7 extending beyond the sides of the cabinet, as at 9 and 10.

is a door hinged to the front of the base and folding up under the lowermost shelf of the cabinet, thereby forming a receptacle 12, 30 in which any desired article may be stored.

This door is provided on its inner face w=th two. clamping members 13, adapted to hold a rolling-pin 14, (shown in dotted lines in Fig. 5,) the handles of said pin fitting within the 35 spring clamping members 13.

is a circular base provided with an offset or integral lug 16, extending from one side thereof,· said lug being provided with a perforation 17.

18 represents standards secured to and projecting upward from the base 15, the upper ends of which are connected by means of a circular wire ring 19. This base 15 is secured to one of the shelves by means of a pivot-pin 45 20, extending through the perforations 17 in the lugs 16, the location of the pivot being near the front edge of the shelves, as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 3. It will be seen in Fig. 1 that I provide a series of six of these 5° bases, there being three secured to each of two shelves, and said bases serve as holders for receptacles 21, adapted to contain different articles for use in the kitchen, the receptacles being held upon the base by means of the standards 18 and the connecting-ring 19. The lo- 55 cation of the pivot on the bases 15 is sueh that any one of them may be swung outward, so as to bring the receptacle in a position in advance of the front of the shelves, thereby enabling one to remove the receptacle en- 6c tirely from the shelf in order that the contents thereof may be utilized. Above the shelves containing the said bases I hinge two doors 22 between the uppermost shelves of the cabinet, thereby forming a closed com- 65 partment between said shelves.

is a strip provided with a series of circular openings 24, said strip being secured between the sides of the cabinet a suitable distance above the uppermost shelf 8. 70 is a strip having a series of openings 26, said strip being secured between the sides of the cabinet in a position above and back of the shelf 23.

is a base secured immediately below the 75 strip 25, which serves as a support for bottles, &c., that are placed in the openings 26 of the shelves 25, the top shelf 8 forming a base for the strip 23.

is a shelf or bracket secured on one side 80 of the cabinet near the top thereof.

is a piece of suitable material secured in position as a back to the projecting end 9 of the base 7 on one side of the cabinet.

is a receptacle adapted to be held upon 85 the bracket formed by the back 29 and the projecting end 9 of the base 7 by means of the stay 31, which is composed of a piece of metal bent to a suitable curvature.

is a cover hinged at 33 to one side of the 90 cabinet above the projecting end 9 of the base 7, and provided with a depending block 34, which enters and serves as a stopper or closure for the top of the receptacle 30.

is a flour-bin secured to one side of the 95 cabinet, within which is secured at the bottom a suitable sieve 36. and an agitator 37, which cooperates with said sieve in the operation of sieving flour into the drawer 37% secured in the bottom of the receptacle 35. 38 100 is a hinged top secured upon said receptacle 35.

39. is a supplemental back which is spaced a suitable distance from the back 40 of the

723,964 cabinet by means of the blocks 41 at the top and the rollers 42 at the bottom, said rollers being journaled in the back 40 and the supplemental back 39, said supplemental back 5 forminga compartment within whichabreadboard 43 may be housed, the rollers facilitating the withdrawal from and placing the bread-board in the said compartment.
