to the tube F, passes down to, or nearly to,
the bottom of the said tube F, and discharges
the water into the receiver R. The receiver
R is detachably secured to the bottom cross-
bars D by a flange, 'r', attached to its top, and
notched to receive hooks d' attached to the
bars D, so that it may be secured by passing
the notches of the flange over the said hooks,
and then turning the receiver partly around,
as indicated in Fig. 3.
The waste water may be drawn from the
receiver R through a pipe or faucet attached
to its bottom or lower part. S is a ring-plate
secured to arms, T, attached to the legs A.
To the ring-plate S, opposite the seat of each
person, is secured a screw or stud, U, in the
upper end of which is formed a hole to receive
the lower end of the shaft V. The upper end
of the shaft V revolves in bearings in the
ring-plate J, and to said .shaft, a little below
its upper end, is attached a four-armed plate,
W. The plates W may have more or less than
four arms, if desired. In the outer ends of the
arms of the plate W are formed holes to re-
ceive the pins X, to the upper ends of which
are attached the plates Y for holding the din-
ing-plates Z. The plates Z are made with a
base flange or foot, z', in which are formed
holes to receive the hooks yg, attached to the
holder Y, and upon which itis secured by the
buttons y'.
The hooks y1 may be formed to receive the.
edges of the flange z'. The lower ends of the
pins X are hinged to springs A', the inner
ends of which are attached to the middle part
of the armed plate W, or to a hub secured to
the shaft V beneath the said armed plate W.
To the under side of the outer ends of the
springs A' are attached narrow cross-plates
B', the end parts of which are slightly curved
or inclined upward, as shown in Fig 4. To
the lower part of the shaft V is attached a
large bevel-gear wheel, C', into the teeth of
which mesh the teeth of a small bevel-gear
wheel, D, attached to a shaft, E'. The shaft
E' revolves in bearings in the band B, and in
a bracket, F', attached to said band. To the
shaft E' is attached an arm, G', which, as the
wheel O' is revolved into such a position as to
bring the plates Z directly below the hole in
the ring-segment I, strikes the plate B', and
raises it, forcing the pin X up through the
hole in the arm of the armed plate W, and
raising the dining-plate above the surface of
the table. The shaft E' is rotated by a crank,
H', attached to its outer end, and which is
provided with a pin or spring-catch to engagewith a catch-plate attached to the band B,
and lock the crank in place when in position
to hold' the dining-plate above the surface of
the table.
With this construction, when the plates are
to be changed the crank H' is turned, which
lowers the plate that has been used, carries it
in beneath the table-top, and raises a clean
plate through the opening in the segment I
ready to be used.
To the bottom or lower part of the fountain-
basin O are attached pipes I', which pass
down along the sides of the tube F, along the
under side of the revolving center-top 1, up
through said top, and have faucets J' at-
tached to their ends. A sufficient number of
the pipes I', and faucets J, are used to bring
one of said faucets J' within reach of each
person sitting at the table.
Having thus described myinvention, I claim
as new and desire to secure by Letters Pat-
ent-
1. The combination of the reservoir K, the
pipe L, the pipe I, and the basin O, with the
tube F, that carries the central revolving part
G of the table-top, substantially as herein
shown and described.
2. The combination of the ring-cup N with
the revolving tube F, the inlet-pipe M, and
the fountain-basin O, substantially as herein
shown and described.
3. The combination of the rack or bottle-
holder P with the tube F, and the fountain-
basin O, substantially as herein shown and
described.
4. The combination of the pipes I', and the
faucets J', with the fountain-basin O, the tube
F, and the central revolving part G of the
table-top, substantially as herein shown and
described.
5. The combination of the ring-plate S, the
screw-socket U, the shaft V, the armed plate
W, the pins X, theplate-holders Y, the springs
A', the cross-plates B', the gear-wheels C' D',
the shaft E', the arm G', and the crank H',
with the frame A B C D, and the segmental
ring-top I of the table, substantially as here-
in shown and described.
6. The combination of the detachable re-
ceiver R with the tube F, the waste-pipe Q,
and the lower cross-bars D of the table-frame
A B C D, substantially as herein shown and
described.
