FLOUR AND MEAL CHEST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 358,155 dated February 22, 1887.
Application filed December 14, 1885. Serial No. 185,646. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that W6,FRANOIS M. HUFF and JOSEPH TAYLOR, citizens of theUnited States, residing at Warren, in the county of Huntington and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oombination Flour and Meal Chests; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
Our invention relates to improvements in combination-chests for flour and other articles, and is designed to produce a device of general utility for kitchen use; and it consists of a body with drawers and shelves surmounted by an extended back containing bins with removable glass panels, slides at the bottom, boxes or pans under said slides, an extensible kneading-board, and other parts hereinafter mentioned,the whole combining in small space and a convenient ornamental form such parts as facilitate the operations preparatory to baking, and also utilizing such portions of the device as would otherwise be of no use as receptacles for the tools and conveniences used.
In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a general perspective view of the device; Fig. 2, a vertical section from front to rear; Fig. 3, a preferred form of drawer or tray.
The main portion or base of the device consists of a chest, A, with drawers B on one side, and shelves 0, Fig. 2, on the other side, the latter being accessible through the door D.
The top of the chest A is formed by the kneading-board E,which may be moved out or in at pleasure,stops F being provided on the under side for limiting the outward rhovement, the
, said stops F engaging against the front of the chest A. By raising the front of the kneadingboardE when extended the stops F may be raised above the front upper edge of the chest A and the said board removed for cleaning or other purposes;
The drawers and shelves may be used for various purposes and for the reception of the implements used, as well as being always a convenience.
On the chest A is erected a back, G, of sufficient thickness to contain the bins H for flour or meal, or both. These bins H extend from the top of the back G,where they are provided with a removable cover, I, to near the lower part of said back G. The lower parts of the said bins H are somewhat contracted, and are there provided with an opening or passage normally closed by the slides K, which are accessible from thefront. The recessesformed for the reception of the back end of the slides K are provided with a downwardly-leading opening, L, so that the flour or meal that is forced into the said recesses on the cutting off of the flow from the bins by the operation of the slides K will have an escape provided and prevent clogging. Under the opening of each bin H rests a pan, M, which may be entirely removed on the pushing aside of the slides N, which travel laterally in grooved ways 0, arranged below the slides Kand above the kneading-board. These slides N prevent the entrance of dirt to the pans M,while they do not in the least interfere with the removalof the same.
The pans, as represented in Fig. 2, are entirely concealed in the chamber or space under the bin, the front of said space being closed by slides N, and they are too small to fill the chamber in either direction,and as they should extend under the passages L they cannot be used to close the front of the chamber.
The fronts of the bins are provided with glass panels P, which rest in suitable grooves and may be entirely removed through the top, as is evident from Fig. 2.
The flour being removed from the bottom of the bins, mold or niustiness is obviated, and the said flour subjected to an airing every time the slides are worked.
'When notin use,the pans M may be used for the reception of the implements used in bread or cake making or other like operations.
The bins H being above the kneading-board E, the entrance of objectionable matter into obviate clogging with flour or meal that might sift in and be compacted between the tray and its inclosing-walls. Said form also facilitates the entire removal of the contents of the tray. The slides N and grooved ways 0 are done away with, as the fronts of the said trays M are flush with the front surface of the upward extension G and are made suffieiently large, as above explained, to fill the opening in the extension, While they are also long enough from front to rear to extend under passage L.
The shape of the trays permits their use as mixing-pans for dough, and being closed at the front prevent the escape of flour-dust.
We claim- 1. Combined with the bins with openings at the bottom, slides K for regulating the flow from said bins, and moving in suitable supports or ways under the said openings at the bottom of the bins, said bins having under their rear ends a recess for the reception and support of the back end of the slide and downward passages from said recess, for the purpose speciiied.
2. Combined with the bins having normallyclosed openings at the bottom, removable pans extending under openings L in the shelf-support under said openingssaid pans having rectangular fronts and backs and inclined or beveled sides, said fronts being sufiiciently large to close the opening into which the tray or pan is inserted and located therein, and said backs extended to the rear of openings L, and the rear support for the slide, provided with the said openings L, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
FRANCIS M. HUFF. JOSEPH TAYLOR.
