VIRGIL 0. ROSSER, OF DALLAS, TEXAS.
KITCHEN-CABINET.1,088,455.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Feb. 24, 1914.
Application filed December 1, 1911. Serial No. 663,242.To allwhom it may concern:
Be it known that I, VIRGIL 0. ROSSER, a
citizen of the United States, residing at
Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State of
5 Texas, have invented new and useful Im-
provements in Kitchen-Cabinets, of which
the following is a specification.
This invention relates to kitchen cabinets
of that type embodying a plurality of con-
10 partments for containing flour, cornmeal,
sugar and other culinary materials, and the
primary object of the same is to provide
within minimized proportions a cabinet
having a maximum containing capacity and
15 also to have all of the parts or components
including the several compartments freely
removable from and insertible in an outer
inclosing casing to render the said compart-
ments or components readily accessible for
20 filling or supplying the same with materials
which they are adapted to hold, and also to
facilitate cleaning the same and thus render
the device as an entirety advantageous from
a hygienic standpoint.
25 A further object of the invention is to
provide a kitchen cabinet having a strong
and durable as well as convenient organiza-
tion wherein the several parts are compara-
tively simple in their construction and ar-
30 rangement and fully inclosed within an
outer casing devoid of filling openings
through the top and ends thereof, the casing
having conveniently opening doors at the
front for rendering the compartments and
35 their contents readily accessible.
With these and other objects and advan-
tages in view the invention consists in the
construction and arrangement of the sev-
eral parts which will be more fully herein-
40 after described and claimed.
1n the drawings: Figure 1 is a front eleva-
tion of a kitchen cabinet shown open and
embodying the features of the invention.
Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section on the
45 line 2-2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a transverse verti-
cal section on the line 3-3, Fig. 1. Fig. 4
is a transverse vertical section on the line
4-41 Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a horizontal section
through the upper portion of the cabinet
50 showing the front of the latter fully closed.
Figs. 6, 7 and 3 are detail views of parts of
the cabinet. Fig. 9 is a detail front elevation
of a modified form of a portion of the
cabinet
5 The numeral 5 d signates the outer in-
closing casing constructed of suitable sheetmetal and having imperforate top, bottom,
ends and rear side and an open front which
is normally closed by two lower side opening
doors 6 and 7 and an upper drop door 8 60
hinged at its upper edge to the top margin
of the front and provided with a flange 9
along its lower edge against which the doors
6 and 7 are closed to prevent opening of the
said drop door prior to the release and open- 6
ing of the doors 6 and 7. The doors 6 and 7
are provided with suitable locking devices
10 and 11, the locking device 10 being pref-
erably in the form of a vertical slide bolt to
engage a part of the interior structure of the 70
cabinet, and the locking device 11 is in the
form of a turn-button or crank arum to lock
in engagement with the inner side portion
of the door 6. The drop door 9 will also
have a clock 12 set in the central portion 75
thereof and exposed through the front of
the cabinet. The margin or rim 13 around
the front open side of the cabinet is rein-
forced or strengthened to give the same
sufficient rigidity and wearing durability so
through the medium of a composite bead-
ing, as shown by the detail section in Fig. 8,
the top and bottom sides and the ends being
formed with an L-bend 14 continuous with
an angular flange member 15 and embraced g5
or snugly inclosed by a metallic bead 16
having a semirectangular bent portion or
body 17 against which the L-bend or member
14 has bearing, said bead also having a
curved member 18 continuing from the semi- 90
rectangular body 17 and turned into the lat-
ter to bear against a portion of the L-bend
or member 14 and terminating in an angular
stiffening flange 19 which is projected into
the space formed within the said bead. The 95
bead 16 and the L-bend 14 together with the
flange 15 may be shaped and formed as well
as associated by any suitable mechanism
adapted for the purpose, and these asso-
ciated parts need not be soldered except at loo
the corners of the rim, and over these cor-
ners additional angular reinforcing strips
20 are applied and secured.
The interior of the body of the casing has
two dividing partitions 21 adjacent to oppo- 105
site ends and of open structure interiorly of
the casing, and a horizontal partition or
support 22a, and all of the compartments,
bins and supporting devices or chambers are
separably removable from the casing for ]11
convenience in cleaning the interior of the
casing and the cordinate elements, and for
