DRAWER FOR BUREAUS, 80C.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 665,219, dated January 1, 1901.
Application filed May 24, 1990.
To ctZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that LLOUIS FREDERICK HOOK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of No. 2129 Outhbert street, Philadelphia,county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Drawers for Bureaus, Cabinets, &c., of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
This invention relates to an improvement in drawers for bureaus, cabinets, &c.
The nature and object of the invention will be fully understood from the following general description and the annexed drawings and will be subsequently pointed out in the claim. I
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawingsis a front elevation of the upper part of a cabinet having my invention attached. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional elevation of the same, taken on the line m w of Fig. 1.
Heretofore it has sometimes been hard to pull out and push in the drawers of bureaus, desks, tables, and like articles of furniture because of their hitching from side to side and checking and sticking in the guides. This was especially the casein heavily-laden drawers. my present invention has been devised.
Aof the accompanying drawings, which are hereby made a part of this specification, designates the side Walls of a drawer", as A, which is mounted upon the ordinary guides, as B. In a series of pockets 0, in each of the said side walls A of the drawer A, near the top, are placed the balls 0, and these balls are held in place by means of the plate D, which is countersunk into the wood and is provided with apertures d, through which the balls project. As a guide-rail for these balls I provide concave plates E, which are countersunk into the woodwork of the cabinet-frame, one on each side. These may be of metal or any other material hard enough to resist the abrading action of the balls. The halls may be made of any hard material, preferably steel, and to keep them from cutting the wood of the pockets of the drawer It is to obviate this difficulty that sides a plate a is placed in each pocket.
Serial No. 17,841. (No model.)
Upon the lower edge of each side wall of the drawer A is arranged a similar series of pockets a each containing a ball 0 and a bearing-plate a These balls are maintained in place by the apertured plate D, and they run on the concaved plate E,which is counter sunk in the upper surface of the guide B.
The whole device is to be constructed and arranged substantially as illustrated in the drawings.
To use my invention, the guides are placed in the article of furniture in proper place to accommodate the drawer in the common and well-known way. The ball-pockets are then formed in the drawer and the balls secured therein, as illustrated in the drawings, and the drawer pushed into its place between the guides. It will then be found that if the drawer be pulled out or pushed in, the balls, rolling on the concave surfaces of the guideplates and in their pockets, will act as friction-rollers and greatly facilitate the moving of the drawer. So much will they help that if properly constructed they will entirely obviate any hitching or sticking of the drawer and cause it to move readily and smoothly in its guides.
This device'will be found especially useful in hardware stores and other places where heavily-laden drawers are used.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The combination with the side walls of a drawer, cubical pockets in said walls, frictionplates and balls in said pockets, a plate countersunk into the wood of said drawer over said pockets, and apertures piercing said plate, through which said balls project, of a concave plate countersunk into the woodwork adjacent to said drawer, and arranged to guide the motion of said balls and said drawer, all substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimonythat I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name, inpresence of two witnesses, this 18th day of May, 1900.
LOUIS FREDERICK HOOK.
Witnesses:
Tnos. ARCHER, WESLEY JOHNSON.
