To all-whom it may concern.
Be it known that '1, JOHN A. FRASER, of
the city of Benton Harbor, county of Ber- 'rien,-and-'State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in "Filing-Cabinets; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full-and exact description thereof, reference being hadto the space has encouraged the construction of filing cabinets from metal as against wood (for the reason that metal permits of econom-y of space to a greater extent than does wood construction. a
My cabinet in all its parts is constructed with a" view to eco-nomizing space and special attention is given to the saving-of space between the sides-of the case'and the drawer thereby permitting the greatest amount 0 within the drawers withthe filing space least space to be occupied by the case of the cabinet. Special attention is'also given to the '-maintenance of strength in construction -without losing sight of the desire for economy of space.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective of my cabinet with one of the drawers withdrawn, showin the supporting device of said drawer. Flg. 2 is a plan view in section of my cabinet with drawer wit-hdrawn. Fig. 3 is a side elevation showing the details of my drawer support. Fig. t is a front sectional elevation showing in cros section the details of my drawer suport. p More particularly described, A represents my cabinet constructed of sheet metal or other like metal, built upon a metal frame designed to give strength and rigidity to the structure.
The front of the cabinet, A is open for the purpose of receiving the drawers B B. Secured to the inner faces of the cabinet A and forming a part of the frame ofsaid cabinet A are parallel flanged tracks '1). These tracks b are formed of angle irons positioned with reference tothe drawers with their flan ed edges extending outward and downward thereby presenting a fiat surface on the top and a thin edge underneath. I I
Engaging with the flanged tracks I) are parallel :extension slides b which consist of angle irons positioned with reference to the drawers B B with their flanged edges extending upward and inward, the inward extendmg fiange being designed to extend "beneathahe bottom of the. said drawers B Baas-shown at Fig. 4 of the drawings.
This structure of the extension slides it will be seen, a-fi'ords -exceptional strength while at the same time occupying a minimum'of space between'the ,sides of the said drawers B B andthe cabinet A. On the under side of the said slideb -is fitted a flan-ged roller b designed to engage the under face or the downwardly projecting flange edge of the flanged tracks 1). Attached to the outer sides-of said-slides are'other rollers 72 which are designedto ride uponthe top face of-the flanged tracks 1). Drawer tracks "(1 are attached to thedrawers B B and'are-designed to ride upon the rollers of the slides a.
The lower face of said drawer tracks are a (guide for the rollers and prevent lateral movement of the slides 25. A retaining bracket 6 is attached midway to the slide b and is designed at its upper end to engage the upper face of the drawer track d and prevent the tilting of the drawersB B when withdrawn from the cabinet. In most filing cabinets the back of the drawer itself is deflanged as shown at Fig. 4 in order to afford signedto engage with the top of the compartment in which it rides to prevent this tilting but in metal construction the drawer as well as other parts are skeletonized so fares possible and the rear end of the drawers is often shorter in height than the compartment in which the drawer rides, which makes it necessary to provide other means such as described herein to prevent this tilting or sagging. If it is desired a roller may be attached to the upper end of said bracket b which would present a roller engagement to the upper face of the drawer tracks d instead of the sliding engagement illustrated on' Fig. 4 of the drawings herein. The lower end of bracket b embraces the flange track frame of the cabinet across the face thereof and between the drawers B B. At the inner end the slides b are provided with lugs b" which are intendectto aid in holding the slides in position.
Stops are provided to prevent the outer movement of the drawers B B at d fitted to the inner ends of the drawer tracks d and are designed to engage the brackets b as the drawer B is withdrawn from the cabinet.
C represents a follower block of any desired style.
What I claim as my invention is 1. In a filing cabinet, the combination with a case provided with a drawer, of a drawer support comprising parallel flanged tracks secured to'the opposite sides of said case, upper and under bearing faces provided on said flanged tracks, drawer tracks secured to said drawer, upper and under bearing faces provided on said drawer tracks, slides consisting of angle irons p0si-- tioned to embrace the lower side corners of said drawers, said slides provided on their under sides near their inner ends with rollers adapted to engage the under face of said flanged tracks, other rollers mounted upon the outer side of said slides near their outer ends, each of said last named rollers being adapted to engage simultaneously the said drawer tracks and the said flanged tracks, means for preventing the downward tilting of the drawer with reference to the slides consisting of a bracketed arm attached to said slides adapted to engage the upper face of the said drawer tracksand means for prevleiting the lateral movement of the said s 1 es.
2. In a filing cabinet, the combination with a case provided with a drawer, of a drawer support comprising parallel flanged tracks secured to the opposite sides of said case, upper and'under bearing faces pro- I forming flanges provided on the under faceof the said drawer tracks, being designed to embrace the said other 'rollers and bein adapted by co-aoting with the said flange rollers to prevent the lateral movement of the said slides, and stops for limitingthe outer movement of the slides with reference to the flanged tracks and stops for limiting the outer movement of the drawer with reference to the slides.
