SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 514,126, dated February 6, 189%.

Application filed August 16, 1893.

Be it known that I, PHILIP MARVEL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Atlantic City, in the county of Atlantic and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.-

My invention relates to improvements in cabinetsfor holding medicines, chemicals, &c., and the object'of my invention is to furnish acabinet of small size, convenient arrangement, and attractive appearance which will hold all the drugs, bandages, and other necessary articles that a physician ordinarily needs in his practice.

In the accompanying drawingsforming part letters of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several views, Figure 1, is a front elevation of my cabinet, the doors of which are opened and the desks of which are tion of Fig. '1, on line 1-2; Fig. 4, a section of Fig.1, on line 3-4; Fig.5, an'enlarged end elevation of the inside of one ofthe doors, B, showing device for supporting and adjusting the shelves. Fig. 6, is a side elevation of the L shaped supports Fig. 5, the back of the cabvation of one of the spring clips R, the shelf 0 being shown in section; Fig. 8, a front elevation of a modification of my cabinet; Fig. 9 a plan of Fig. 8, and Fig. 10, a section of Fig. 8, on line 5-6.

A is the rear orstationary part of the cabinet; B, doors hinged to the front ends-of the sides of the rear part A.

O, C, C, are shelves carried by the rear part A, and by the doorsB. These shelves are preferably inclined as shown in Fig. 4, so'that the bottles may rest in an approximatelyupright position.

D are small compartments preferably doua partition 1) running across their centers, which are hinged at a, Fig. 1, to the front ends of the sides of the rear or stationary part of the cabinet.

0 are inclined shelves in thesecom partm'ents which are adapted tohold small bottles. Access to the bottles in the front compartment Serial No. 483,289- on; model.)

may be had as soon as the doors B are opened, to the rear'ones by simply swinging the com partments 1) around on their hinges a.

E are. large drawers carried by the upper parts of the doors B.

F are a number of small drawers carried by the lower parts of the doors B.

G are drawers in the extreme lower and side portions A, A of the stationlary part A.

The doors B when closed and locked prevent access to any of the articles which may be carried by the shelves or drawers of either the doors, or that part A, A oi the stationary part of the cabinet, which the doors incioso.

The lower portion of the central part A of the cabinet is furnished with a number of drawers H, above which is a-compartment or spacel divided ofi by horizontal and vertical partitio ns into a number of compartments J".

.I is aleaf the lower end of-which is hinged to the frame of the cabinet at cl and which when open forms a desk upon which. prescriptio'ns may be compounded or writing done. Above the compartment i are small drawers K. 1 Upon one side of the upper part of the'cahinet is a compartment I, divided off by horizontal and vertical partitions into a number of small compartments M which may be furnished with drawers. if desired. Upon the other side is a similar compartment which may bearranged in any convenient manner. Between the two side compartments is a central compartment N which is preferably furnished with a large drawer O, or which may be left open forming a space for an ornament or for books.

In Figs. 5 and 6, I have shown a device by means of which the shelves G carried by the doors B and the stationary pa'rt A of the cabinet may be adjusted.

f, are L shaped supports, which may be struck up from a continuous piece of metal g, and'which are secured to the sit} es of the doors B, or the other places containing the shelves, one piece near each front of the side, another near. the back of the side as shown in Fig. 5.

h are rods the ends of which are bent over as shown and which are adapted to be held by the supports f. As'will be seen from Fig. 5, the rods It may be placed at any angle from about forty five degrees to the horizontal.

These rods it support the ends of the shelves C and by changing the positions of these rode the inclination of the shelves may be varied.

In order to separate the bottles I have devised a spring clip which is adapted to grasp the shelves and which may readily be removed from the shelves or pushed along them sidewise so as to allow for bottles of greater or lesser size. This clip is illustrated in Fig. 7. It consists of a piece of wire B one end of which is bent over in substantially a U shape and which is adapted to clasp the top and bottom of the shelf. The wire is then bent so as to extend upward from the shelf, then backward and downward until it meets the shelf along which it runs for a short distance as shown in the drawings.

Having thus described my invention, I claim-- 1. The combination in a cabinet of the stationary portion A furnished with shelves and drawers as described, doors, B hinged to the sides of said portion A and furnished upon their inner sides with shelves and drawers, and the compartments D hinged to the portion A, all substantially as and. for the purposes set forth.

2. The combination in a cabinet of a stationary portion A furnished with shelves and drawers as described, doors B hinged to the sides of said stationaryportion A. shelyesand mates drawers carried by the inner sides of said doors l3, compartments D hinged to the portion A as described, and a compartmentin said stationary portion A and a hinged lid or leaf adapted to cover the same when closed and to form a shelf or desk when open.

- 3. The combination in a cabinet of a stationary portion A having side portions A, A shelves and drawers in said side portions, doors B hinged to the sides of said portions A, A and adapted'to inclose the fronts of thesame when closed, shelves and drawers carried by said doors, compartments D hinged to the upper sides of the said portions A, A

a central portion A, drawers in the lower part of said central portion, a cotnpartment in its top, and a hinged lid or leaf adapted to inclose the same, all substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

4:. The herein described device for supporting and adjusting the inclination of the she1ves,and in combination with said shelves and the case in which said shelves are placed, the L. shaped supports f and the rods h the ends of which are bent over, al-lsubstantially as set forth.

PHIL-1P MARVEL.
