SERVICE-RACK FOR WAITERS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 25, 1917.
Application filed February 19, 1917. Serial No. 149,573.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SELDEN W. hrs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Burwell, in the county of Garfield and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Service- Racks for Waiters, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to service racks.
One object of the invention is to provide arack particularly adapted for use by waiters and others for the carrying of table ware whether empty or loaded with victuals.
Another object resides in the provision of a service rack for waiters or others of the nature stated, embodying among other characteristics features whereby a relatively large number of loaded or unloaded plates or platters may be transported from one place to another and held in proper position against dislodgment during transportion.
A still further object is to provide a service rack for waiters which is constructed to accommodate quite a number of large and small dishes and other articles and which may be easily and readily supported on a waiters arm to give full use of his other arm for handling the dishes or articles to be placed on or removed from the rack.
\Vith the above and other objects in View, the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the form, size, proportion and minor details without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side view; and
Fig. 2 is a top plan view, an end portion of the tray being broken away.
Referring now more particularly to the accompanying drawings, the reference characters A and B indicate substantially triangular shaped frame pieces of metal or other suitable material whose vertical portions are connected at their upper ends by a strip 12 and whose inclined portions are connected by spaced strips 13 in turn connected by a strip 14 arranged between and parallel with the inclined portions of said frames.
A curved or concaved strip 15 is secured to the strip 12 adapted to engage the arm of the Waiter below the shoulder.
Strips 16 and 17 are secured to the inclined bars of the triangular shaped frames A and B, respectively, and formed to provide pairs of spaced shoulders or rests 18 for the support of plates, platters or other large dishes. These strips 16 and 17 extend beyond the outer smaller ends of the triangular frames and are curved downwardly and connected by a hand-piece 19, it being understood that the device is carried on the arm of the waiter with the curved strip 15 resting on his arm below the shoulder and the hand-piece grasped by his hand so that the waiters other arm is entirely free to place dishes on the device or remove them therefrom.
A tray 22 is detachably supported on the portions 12 of the triangular frames for the support of cups, glasses, or other side dishes.
From the foregoing, it will be seen that a waiter can easily and readily serve larger orders or a number of small orders without the necessity of going back and forth to the kitchen or pantry. My improved device is shown as constructed to permit the waiter to carry six large plates or platters on the rests 18 and a number of smaller or other dishes or articles, such as knives, forks and spoons on the tray.
What is claimed is 1. A service rack comprising transversely spaced plate rests having a stepped arrangement, plate holders intermediate the plate rests, an arm rest at the upper end of the rack, and a hand-piece at the lower end thereof.
2. A service rack, comprising an inclined portion provided with stepped plate rests, an arm rest at the upper end of the said inclined portion, a hand-piece at the lower end thereof, and a horizontal tray supporting portion below the inclined plate receiving portion.
3. A service rack comprising transversely spaced plate rests having a stepped arrangeinent, transverse connecting means, plate holders supported by the transverse connecting means, a tray restheloW the plate rest-s, an arm rest at the inner end of the rack, and a hand-piece at the outer end of the rack.
d. A service rack, comprising companion frames of triangular torni, stepped plate rests along the inclined sides of the frames, transverse connections joining the frames, plate holders mounted upon the transverse connections, a tray mounted upon the lower horizontal members of the frames, an arni rest at the upper inner end of the rack and a hand-piece at the loner outer end of the rack.
5. A service rackcompiising a frame including substantially triangular shaped members connected together, dish supporting ineniloers on the frame, means c'oeperating ivith the dish supporting members to hold the dishes in place on the latter, a member secured to the frame to engage the Waiters arm heloiv the shoulder, a handpiece at the outer end of the frame, and a tray supported on the frame and extending through the triangular shaped members of the frame.
Copies of tine atent may be olitaihe'd in tween the plate rests and having connection therewith.
7. A service rack, comprising side frames of triangular tor-n1, transverse strips tion-- necting the frames, side strips secured to the inclined portions of the frames and-having stepped portions forming plate rests, an intermediate strip supported by the transverse strips, plate holders carried by the intermediate strip, an arm rest at the upper end of the side strips, a hand piece at the lower end of the side strips, and a tray mounted upon the lower horizontal portions of the frames.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses- SELDEN W. IVES.
