the kitchen-cabinet to be readily removed
from one place to another.
The rear portion of the table may form a
convenient support for a kitchen-safe 15,
5 provided with hinged doors having suitable
ventilating-apertures. The kitchen safe or
cabinet, which may be either loosely ar-
ranged on the table or secured to the same by
screws or other suitable fastening devices, is
io -designed to contain various articles of food
requiring fresh air, and the apertures of the
doors are provided for the purpose of venti-
lating the kitchen safe or cabinet. The
kitchen safe or cabinet may be of any desired
15 size and may extend any desired distance
over the top of the table, and in practice the
kitchen safe or cabinet will be arranged
against one of the walls of a room, so that
there will be no liability of the same falling
20 from the table. The table and.the safe may,
however, be arranged in any other desired
position and the parts may be constructed
in any manner to secure the desired stability.
The side bars or rails of the frame of the
25 table are preferably provided with hooks 16
for supporting various utensils and recepta-
cles, and a rack 17 is arranged at one side of
- the table for a similar purpose. The rack
17, which may be arranged either in a verti-
30 cal or inclined position, is located a sufficient
distance beyond the adjacent door of the
kitchen safe or cabinet to avoid being struck
by the same, and it is composed of side bars
or rods 18 and suitable connecting-rods 19.
35 " The lower ends of the side rods are secured to
the frame of the table and are supported by
horizontal braces 20, extending from the ad-
jacent side bar or rail and provided with eyes
to receive the side rods of the rack. The
40 cross or connecting rods or bars of the rack
extend beyond the side rods, and their termi-
nals are bent upward to provide end hooks 21.
Intermediate hooks 22 are arranged on the
connecting-rods at suitable intervals and may
45 be of any desired number. The hooks 22,
which depend from the connecting rods or
portions, are provided at the upper ends of
their shanks with eyes receiving the rods.
As the cabinet or casing is constructed of
50 sheet metal or other suitable material and as
it fits snugly against the top of the table,
there is no liability of rats entering the same.
If desired, ant-traps or similar devices maybe arranged at the legs to prevent insects
from reaching the top of the table or casing 55
of the cabinet.
It will be seen that by combining the
kitchen-table and kitchen-cabinet not only is
a great saving in the space or room of a
kitchen effected, but there is also a great sav- 6o
ing of time and labor, as the various articles
for the preparation of food are arranged
within easy reach and the cook does not
have to move away from the table to obtain
the necessary materials. 65
Having thus fully described my invention,
what I claim as new, and desire to secure by
Letters Patent, is-
1. A device of the class described, compris-
ing a table having a door at its top and pro- 70
vided with cross-bars connecting its legs, a
rotary cabinet or casing centrally pivoted on
the cross-bars, and antifriction rollers or
wheels located at the ends of the cross-bars
and supporting the cabinet or casing. 75
2. A device of the class described,, com-
prising a table having a door at its top and
provided with cross - bars connecting the
lower portions of the legs, a central pivot
piercing the bars and extending upwardly 8o
therefrom, supporting-blocks fitted against
the inner faces of the legs and mounted on
the cross-bars at the ends thereof, vertical
rollers or wheels mounted on the blocks, and
a rotary cabinet or casing mounted on the 85
rollers or wheels and having a central bearing
for the pivot, said casing being arranged be-
neath and covered by the top of the table.
3. A device of the class described, com-
prising a top frame, legs secured to and sup- 90
porting the top frame, crossed bars. connect-
ing the legs and located beneath the top
frame and provided at their point of crossing
with an upwardly -projecting pivot, a rotary
cabinet or casing mounted on the said pivot 95
and rotating within the top frame, and a
table-top supported by the said frame and
provided with a door communicating with
the interior of the rotary cabinet or casing.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as 100
my own I have hereto affixed my signature in
the presence of two witnesses.
