BOON-RACK.
S C C ION forming part of Letters Patent No. 448,251, dated March 1'7, 1891.
Application filed September 15, 1890. Serial No. 364,974. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, AUsBORN F. OLD, of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a new Improvement in Book-Racks; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in
Figure 1, a view in perspective of one form which a book-rack constructed in accordance with my invention may assume; Fig. 2, an enlarged view thereof in vertical transverse section.
My invention relates to an improvement in that class of book racks or pockets designed to be attached to the backs of pews and chairs, the obj ect being to adapt them to carry programmes and light wraps and other small articles of like nature.
My invention consists in a book rack or pocket having a rail projecting beyond and extending parallel with its front panel and made movable, so as to be retired out of the way when not in use.
My invention further consists in certain details of construction and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.
As herein shown, the rail consists of a rod A, circular in cross-section and secured at its ends to small blocks B B, attached by hinges O O to the forward upper edges of the brackets D D of the book rack or pocket, the said blocks being shaped to conform to the curves of the brackets. When thus arranged, the rod projects in front of and extends in a line parallel with the panel E, forming the front of the book-rack, the said panel being interposed between and secured to the brackets D D, as is also the bottom F of the book-rack. There is sufficient space between the said panel and the rail to permit programmes or other papers or light wraps or articles of flexible nature to be drawn under the rail and allowed to fall over it, whereby a very convenient support is formed for such articles without in any way interfering with the parts herein shown and described, but hold myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of my invention.
The article herein described is not limited to being used as a book-rack, although primarily designed therefor, but may also be employed as a pocket for carriages and in all other situations where the conveniences atforded by it are desired.
I do not claim, broadly,a book-rack having a movable rail arranged above and in front of the rack, as such, I am aware, broadly considered, is not new.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is'- A book-rack composed of two brackets D, with a front E and bottom F extending between the brackets, each of the brackets constructed with an arm projecting upward and outward above the upper edge of the front and with recesses in rear of said arms corresponding in shape to the upper end portion of the said arms, the said upper end port-ions of the said arms separated from but hinged to the brackets and so as to swing backward into the said recesses of the brackets, with a bar A connecting the said swinging portion of the arms, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
AUSBORN F. OLD.
