Be it known that I, MICHAEL H. SHANLEY, a
citizen of the United States, residing at Gran-
bury, in the county of Hood and State of
5 Texas, have invented a new and useful Im-
provement in Kitchen-Cabinets, of which the
following is a specification.
My invention relates to a kitchen-cabinet;
and it consists in a certain novel construction
o and arrangement of devices, fully set forth
hereinafter in connection with the accompany-
ing drawings, wherein--
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the im-
proved cabinet. Fig. 2 is a central vertical
15 longitudinal sectional view. Fig. 3 is a cen-
tral vertical transverse sectional view. Fig.
4 is a detail sectional view .of the egg-vessel
and its holder. Fig. 5 is a detail view of the

20 Referring to the drawings, A A designate
two similar bins, which are arranged side by
side a short distance apart, and are attached
to a rear board, B, by means of the clips C C
fitting over the upper edge of the board, the
25 said board being attached to the wallby means
of screws or similar devices. The upper ends
of the bins are provided with hinged covers
a a, and vertical tubes a' a', having glass pan-
els at a4, are attached to the centers of their
30 conical bottoms a2 a', in which are located the
slide-valves a a3. Below the valves in the
said tubes are arranged the sifters A' A', com-
prising the screens A' A' and the agitators
A3 AS. One of these bins is adapted for flour
35 and the other for meal, and to their front sides
are hinged the dumping-frames D D, to enable
sacks of flour and meal to be emptied there-
into. These frames consist of the backs B'
B', having the solid central portions, d, and
40 the lateral wire extensions d' d', and the bot-
toms D2 D2, adapted to support the bottoms of
the sacks and provided with hooks d d2. The
sacks are placed on these dumping-frames,-
and the latter are raised until the flour or
45 meal flows out of the upper ends of the sacks,
the frames being supported in the raised po-
sition by the hinged supports E E, which are
arranged in rear of the dumping-frames, and
may be raised to bear at their free ends un-
50 der the backs of the frames. The sacks are
held on the frames by the hooks d2.In a frame, F, which extends between the
upper ends of the bins, are arranged the hori-
zontal cylinders f f, having open front ends,
and in these cylinders are arranged the cylin- 55
drical drawers F' F', adapted to contain soda,
baking-powders, or similar articles.
A wire spring clip or support, G, is arranged
between the bins below the frame F, in which
is engaged the upper end of the coffee-holder 60
H, which is provided in its front side with the
vertically-sliding door h; and at its lower end
with the discharge-tube h', which is located
directly over the hopper of the coffee-mill I.
The spring clip or support G comprises the 65
arms g g, which are affixed at their free ends
to the sides of the bins, and the spring-loop
g', which is arranged between the outer ends
of the said arms and is integral with the same.
The coffee-mill is arranged on a back, K, 70
which is provided on its rear side with the
upper arm, 'k, engaging a transverse bar, L,
which is arranged between the bins, and the
lower arms, k' k', attached to the transverse
bar L', which is similarly arranged between 75
the bins. A swinging arm, M, having a ring,
qm, on its outer end, is arranged in a suitable
socket, im', which is attached to the bar L',
and in this ring is adapted to be placed the
cup or similar receptacle, M', whereby it may 80
be swung under the lower end of the coffee-
mill to receive the ground coffee as it escapes
therefrom.
N N designate receptacles which are swiv-
eled on the bar L on opposite sides of the cof- 85
fee-mill, and are adapted to contain salt and
other articles of a similar nature, and when
it is desired to remove a quantity of their con-
tents it is simply necessary to tip them for-
ward without raising them or removing them 90
from the cabinet.
O represents a holder slightly conical or ta-
pered toward its upper end, which is attached
to the front side of one of the bins near its
lower end, and in this holder is adapted to be 95
arranged the vessel P, to contain the eggs to
be beaten. The upper end of the vessel P
fits tightly in the upper end of the holder,
and the lower end of the vessel is provided
with a peripheral flange or enlargement, p, to 2oo
