horizontal partition. The secondary bin 53
has a bottom 54 which rests on the horizon-
tal support 45, and at a suitable distance
above the bottom 54 this secondary bin is
5 provided with a supplemental bottom 55
having a hopper outlet 56 provided at its
lower contracted extremity with a suitable
form of cutoff valve 57, the preferred struc-
ture of which will be more fully hereinafter
10 explained. The hopper outlet 56 and its cut-
off valve or slide at the bottom terminates a
suitable distance above the bottom 54 to per-
mit the introduction and removal of a con-
taining receptacle or device, such as a cup,
15 below the said hopper outlet. The upper
extremity of the bin 53 is also fully open as
at 58 and normally closed by the top of the
casing 5, and at the upper terminal of the
rear wall of this secondary bin and also at
20 the front terminal of the bottom 54 are hook
flanges 59 and 60 which respectively catch
over the upper edge of the front wall of the
main bin 42 and the front edge of the hori-
zontal support 45 to hold the said second-
25 ary bin 53 practically associated with the
main bin when inserting the double bin in
place or withdrawing the same from the
casing 5, the said hook flanges preventing
separation or application thereof relatively
30 to the main bin 42 until the double bin has
been withdrawn far enough to fully clear
the upper extremity of the secondary bin
and a portion of the front wall of the main
bin from the top of the casing 5. These
35 double bins as well as the bins 22 may be
used for containing any material desired,
and the larger bins 22 have been particularly
devised for holding flour and cornmeal or
other analogous bulky product.
40 The structure between the bins 42 is re-
movable as a whole and mainly consists of
a sugar bin 61 having a bottom 62 forming
a dividing partition for a purpose which
will be presently explained, and a hopper
45 outlet 63 having a rearwardly and down-
wardly inclined chute or direction plate 64
extending partially toward the back wall to
form a restricted outlet opening 65 above
the said bottom, the front edge of the bot-
50 tom 62 being provided with a guard or
wedge shaped rib 66a in a manner similar
to the construction of the outlet of the bin
42 heretofore described. The outlet of the
sugar bin 61 as just explained is normally
55 closed by a drop door 67 hinged at its upper
edge, as shown by Fig. 4, and having a
spring catch 68 at its lower free edge to en-
gage over the front edge of the bottom 62
and also provided with a knob or projec-
60 tion 609 on the outer side thereof at a suit-
able distance from the lower free edge to
frictionally engage a resilient catch 70 de-
pending from the bottom of a flanged shelf
or gallery 71 secured to the front wall of
65 the bin 61. The top 72 of the bin 61 isformed with an inlet opening 73 which is
adapted to be closed by a cover 74 depress-
ible into the opening and frictionally en-
gaging the wall of the latter. If desired,
however, the top 72 may be left partially 70
open for filling and cleaning purposes and
be normally closed by the top of the inclos-
ing casing 5. In addition to the flanged
shelf or gallery 71 above referred to, a
smaller shelf or gallery 75 is arranged 75
thereabove and also secured to the front
wall of the bin 61, the said flanged shelves
or galleries serving to removably support a
plurality of spice and condiment boxes 76,
as clearly shown by Fig. 1. As will be seen 80
from Fig. 1, the sides 06 at the lower por-
tion of the bin are really downward exten-
sions of the hopper 03 or are supplemental
to the main sides 77 which continue fully
down to the main bottom or lower bottom 85
closure 78 of the central organization in-
cluding the sugar bin 61, and between the
bottom 62 of the said bin and the bottom 78
of the main central structure a central con-
taining compartment 79 for cups or other 90
receptacles is provided, said bottom having
flanges 80 extending upwardly a short dis-
tance therefrom on opposite sides of the
center to define lower side compartments 81
having bottoms 82, as shown by Fig. 4, 95
above the plane of the bottom 78, to receive
removable small bins or receptacles 83 of the
form shown by Fig. 6 and adapted to con-
tain baking powder and soda or other ma-
terials, each of the receptacles 83 having a 100
dividing partition 84 to form a rear exten-
sion 85 open at the top, as at 86, that may
be used for storing the materials and
serve, if desired, as secret compartments.
These extensions 85, however, insure pos- 105
itive disposition of the receptacles 83 in
the chambers or spaces provided therefor
so that the front outlet extremities of said
receptacles will always be maintained in
line with the front of the central structure 110
and thus made readily accessible. The main
bottom 78 at the center or where the cham-
her 79 is formed, is provided with an up-
warclly and outwardly extending guard
flange 87 to facilitate retention of the de- 115
vices stored therein. From the supplemen-
tal bottom or horizontal support 62 of the
sugar bin, lateral extensions 88 are formed,
or practically the said extensions 88 and bot-
tom 62 will be integral or constructed from 120
one piece of material, and the said exten.-
sions have their outer edges connected to the
main sides 77 of the central structure and
form with the downwardly and inwardly
inclined side bottom walls 89 of the hopper 125
bottom or outlet 63 of the sugar bin com-
partments on opposite sides of the outlet of
the sugar bin to removably receive corre-
spondingly shaped coffee and tea canisters
or receptacles 90, as shown by Fig. 0. 1303
