Design No. 4,437, dated October 25, 1870.

DESlGN FOR TABLE-CASTERS.

To all whom it mail concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM Paniers, of Taunton, in the county of Bristol and State oi' Massachusetts, have invented and produced a new and original Design for Caster and Bottle; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ot' the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation ot' the raster, with the bottles in place.

Figure 2, a top view ofthe raster without the hottles.

Figure 3, a perspective view of one ot the bottles.

This invention relates to the form and ornament-ation of casters for table use, and consist-s in the peculiar design hereinafter described.

In the drawings- A represents the square bottom plate of the caster, supported on four curved legs, a a, representing, at a', an animal's claw.

The legs extend above the corners of the plate, curving outward, and terminating, at their upper extremities, in the tigure ol' a swan, with head resting on its breast, and expanded wings, resting against and supporting the outer corners of the bottle-racks r r.

These racks are square, and are supported at the outer corner as above described, and at the inner corner, diagonally opposite, bya dat horizontal plate, P, which is in its turn upheld by means ot' the handle or central stem S.

The latter is bifurcated at s, and the upper ends of the forks are surmounted by circular knobs, s' s', and connected together by a curved rod, t, having an ornnlnented shield, c, at its center.

The bottles are ol'an oriental pattern, any horizontal section ot' them, except at the lip-fiange, being a square, and through that flange circular'. Their shoulders swell ont with an even, graceful curve from the neck, and below the shoulders they diminish slightly in diameter to their lower end. Their flat sides are ornamented with flowers, leaves, or other design, and their corners are notched or serrated.

The cruets have glass stopples, with nearly square heads, terminating at their upper end in a liat pyramid, with smooth beveled corners, their vertical corners being beveled and notched in the same manuel' as the bottles.

The pepper-box, mustard-box, 85o., have silvercaps, with smooth, conical crown, terminating in a little spire. In othermspects they are similar to the cruets, ditfering onl'y`so far as is rendered necessary by the dierent use to which they are to be pnt.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The design for a table-caster, as herein described and shown.

WILLIAM PABKIN.
