MAX SCHULTZ, OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA.

TOILET-CABINET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 5, 1910.

Application filed August 5, 1909. Serial No. 511,347.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAX SCHULTZ, a

' citizen of the United States, residing at South Bend, in the county of St. Joseph and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toilet- Cabinets, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to towel racks and stands, and the object of the same is the production of a neat and serviceable piece of wall furniture.

Another object of this invention is the production of an adjustable bracket for supporting the towel roller, so as to allow the roller to be readily placed upon the bracket.

With these and other objects in view this invention consists of certain novel construe tions, combinations and arrangements of parts as will'be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

- In the drawings :Figure 1 is a perspective view of the rack. Fig. 2 is a bottom plan View of the same, showing the towel roller partly broken away. Fig. 3 is a lon gitudinal section of the bracket showing the same secured to the bottom of the comb and brush tray. Fig. 4. is a detail perspective of the means for connecting the primary and auxiliary members of the bracket for supporting the curtain roller. Fig. 5 is a transverse section of the comb and brush tray showing the towel-supporting bracket secured thereto.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, 1 designates the frame upon which is mounted or carried a mirror 2. The whole frame 1 is supported by means of an eyelet 3, which is adapted to be engaged by a hook 4 carried by the support. The frame 1 carries, at its bottom, an enlarged portion 5, which has secured to one side thereof a comb and brush tray 6. The tray 6 is provided upon its bottom with a longitudinally-extending slot 7 in which is adapted to fit the longitudinal-adjustable bracket 8. The bracket 8 supports a towel roller 9.

The towel roller supporting bracket 10 comprises a primary section 11 and an auxiliary section 12. Each of the sect-ions are provided, at one end, with a depending-integral portion 13, which are provided with apertures adapted to receive the ends of the towel roller 9. The primary section is fixedly secured within the longitudinally-extending slot 7 upon the bottom of the tray 6 by means of a screw 14:. The auxiliary section 12 of the bracket 10 is provided with a longitudinally-extending slot 15 intermediate its ends, in which is adapted to work a pin 16 upon which is mounted a washer 17, which washer is adapted to hold the auxiliary section within the slot 7. By having the pin 16 so positioned within the longitudinal slot 15 it will be obvious that the auxiliary section 12 will be allowed free longitudinal movement. The auxiliary section 12 is also provided, near its inner end with a longitudinally extending slot 18, which terminates, at its far end, into a transversely-extending slot or notch 19. The primary section 11 is provided with a reduced extension 20, which extension terminates into an enlarged head portion 21. The reduced extension or neck portion 20 is adapted to work in the longitudinally-extending slot 18 and the extension 20, and the enlarged head 21 is bent back upon the body of the primary portion 11 and spaced-apart therefrom so as to extend through the longitudinally-extending slot 18 of the auxiliary section and straddle the sides thereof. When the sections are placed together, the enlarged head 21 is inserted through the transversely-extending slot 19, and then the end or reduced portion 20 is bent backward to the position shown clearly in Figs. 3 and 4.

From the foregoing description, it will be readily seen that by having the structure as described and clearly illustrated in Fig. 4 that the auxiliary section 12 will be allowed free longitudinal movement thereby facilitating the placing upon the bracket or removal therefrom of the roller 9. It will also be obvious that by having the bracket positioned within the slot 7 that considerable strain will be removed from the pins or screws 14 and 16, when any lateral pressure is brought into engagement with the bracket 10. Further, it will be obvious that the enlarged head, when bent to the position shown in Fig. 4;, will be prevented from being detached from the auxiliary section 12.

What I claim is In a device of the class described the combination with a tray provided with a lon itudinally-extending slot, of a towel rol er supporting bracket secured within said slot and held against lateral movement thereby,

said bracket comprising a primary and aux- 1 primary member adapted to engage one face iliary section, said primary section provided with a reduced portion terminating into an enlarged head bent back upon the body thereof and spaced-apart therefrom, said auxiliary portion provided near one end with a longitudinally-extending slot terminating into a transversely-extending slot, said reduced portion of said primary member adapted to work in the longitudinally extending slot of said auxiliary member, said transversely-extending slot adapted to facilitate the placing of said head and reduced port-ion within said longitudinallyextending slot, said head portion of said of said longitudinally-extending member for securing said primary and auxiliary sections together, said auxiliary section provided with a longitudinally-extending slot, and means passing through said slot and secured to said tray for holding said auxiliary member within said slot.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

MAX SCHULTZ.
