KITCHEN-CABINET.
Specification of Letters Patent.
yPatentt-ad Mai'. 13, 1917.
Application filed January 25, 1915. Serial No. 4,110.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY W. Bizarre-mr, a citizen of the United States, residing at Frankfort, in the county of Clinton and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Kitchen-Cabinet, 01: which the following is a specification.
At the present time, it is considered necessary that a marketable kitchen cabinet have a superstructure or cabinet above the work table, and that this cabinet be a closed cabinet. In this superstructure, there is usually a compartment or cupboard for a flour bin and sitter, and it is desirable that this cupboard be accessible sometimes at the top for lilling the ilour bin, sometimes at the bottom for sifting the flour, and sometimes throughout its whole height. However, it is incon- 4venient to have swinging doors for such lower part of such superstructure, as the opening of such a swinging door requires that the part of the table swept over' thereby be clear of whatever may be resting thereon if the door is to be swung open without sweeping these things from the table.
It is the object of my present invention to provide a door structure for the superposed cabinet of a kitchen cabinet, wherein either1 the top, the bottom, or the whole height of the cupboard, such as the flour bin cupboard, may be opened, and wherein the disadvantages resulting from having a swinging door at the lower .partI of such cupboard are avoided.
In accomplishing this object, 1 provide a swinging door for the upper part of this cupboard, and a vertically sliding door for the lower part, the vertically sliding door sliding in Slideways on the door frame yfor the lower part of its movement and in slideways on the swinging door of the upper part for the upper part of its movement, so that when the sliding door is raised it may be swung out with the'swinging door as the latter is opened, suitable means being provided for holding the sliding door in its raised position.
The accompanying drawing illustrates my invention. 1n this drawing Figure 1 is a. perspective view of a kitchen cabinet embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a perspective view on a somewhat larger scale of the flour bin section of such cabinet, with the whole flour bin cupboard open; Fig. 3 is a view similar to 2, but showing the upper part only of the Vflour bin cupboard open,
and the flour bin tilted forward for filling; Fig. 1 is a verticall sectional view at right angles to the front of the cabinet, showing the construction of the door for the flour bin cupboard; Fig. 5 is a rear view of the door structure shown in Fig. et; Fig. Gisa partial sectional perspective view showing part of the sliding door and its mounting in the main cabinet frame; Fig. 7 is a detail of the means for holding the sliding door raised; Fig. S is a plan view of the door structure, showing part of the cupboard walls in section; and Fig. 9 is a view similar to Fig. (3 but showing a modilication.
r1`he kitchen cabinet may have any form ot base 10 and work table 11, and has a suitably supported superstructure 12 above the work table 11. At the left end ot this superstructure 12 is a cupboard 13 in which is mounted a flour bin 11 having a sitter 15 at the bottom, the flour bin being mounted in any suitable manner so that it can be swung out for filling purposes as shown in Fig. 3. The upper part of the front of this flour bin cupboard 13 is provided with a swinging door 16, having a pair of supporting hinges 17 at one vertical edge and a latch at the other vertical edge. The lower part of the cupboard 13 is closed by a vertically sliding door 19, the upper edge of which normally forms the jamb against which the lower edge of the swinging door 17 fits when both doors are closed. r1`he vertical edges ot' the sliding door 19 slide in slideways 2O fastened to the insides of the side walls 21 of the cupboard 13 and extending from the bottom ,of such cupboard upward, and in slideways 22 fastened to the back of the swinging door 16 .near its edges so as to be in alinement with the slideways 2O when the swinging door 16 is closed. The slideways are conveniently made of grooved strips of wood and the slideways 220i properly bent strips of sheet metal. The upper ends of the slideways 20 arev sufliciently low so that when the sliding door 19 is Jfully raised, as shown in Fig. 2, the lower edge of such sliding door passes entirely clear of the slideways 20 and the sliding door may be swung with the swinging door as the latter is moved. For holding the sliding door 19 in its upper position, it is conveniently provided on one of its vertical edges with a notch 23, with which spring latch 24 carried by one of the slideways 22 engages when the sliding door 19 is raised, this engage- '4 ment being suiicient to hold the door 19 in its upper position against gravity while allowing it to be pulled downward by a slight pressure of the hand on the operating knob 24 for such sliding door. This sliding knob is conveniently fastened in a lower cross piece 25 forming the bottom of the sliding door 19, and the front flange of each slideway 20 may be notched at its upper end at 26 (see Fig. 6) or the lower corners of the panel 19 and the rear of the cross piece 25 may be notched at 27- (see Fig. 9) to allow this cross piece 25 and panel 19 to pass from the grooves in the slideways 20 when the swinging door with the raised sliding door behind it is swung outward.
Vhen the flour bin is not in use, the swinging door 16 is closed and the sliding door 19 is down. To fill the flour bin, the swinging door 16 is opened and the flour bin 14 tilted forward as shown in Fig. 3. If it is the desire to sift the flour from the flour bin, the sliding door 19 is moved to its upper position, being held there by the latch 24, thus rendering the sifter 15 accessible. If it is desired to remove the Hour bin or to obtain access to the whole length of the flour bin, vthe door 19 is slid up behind the door 16, and the door 16 carrying the sliding door 19 is swung open as shown in Fig. 2. This does not interfere with anything of moderate height which may be resting on the table in front of the cabinet 13.
