SAME PLACE.
DRAWER-GUIDE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 511,601 dated December 26, 1893.
Application filed January 31, 1893. Serial No. 460,282- (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, DAVID M. ESTEY, a citizen of the United btates, and a resident of Owosso, in the county of Shiawassee and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Drawer-Guides; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to improvements in r 5 bureaus, desks, chiffoniers, and other similar articles, and in spring drawer guides, em ployed in connection therewith.
My invention consists essentially in a bureau or other similar article of furniture hav- 2o ing slots or recesses formed in the pilasters or corner posts, and provided with a spring drawer guide consisting of a body portion, two spring arms projeotingin opposite directions from said body portion, with which the 2 5 drawer contacts, and two rear spring arms also projecting fromsaid body portion and extending beyond the first named arms and adapted to be inserted in the slots or recesses in the pilasters or corner posts, out of contact 0 with the end rails or panels of the bureau, .as will hereinafter be fully described and claimed.
I am aware that heretofore drawer guides have been constructed consisting of a wooden 3 5 strip having a body portion, two projecting front spring arms, similar rear arms of the same length as the front arms, and recesses or slots in the same body portion. Such constructions, however, are objection able, in that the spring or resilience of the rear arms is effected by the slots or recesses in the body portion which contacts with theside walls of the bureau. As these recesses and slots materially weaken the guide, it is obvious that 5 a guide which will dispense with the same and accomplish equally as good, if not superior results, would be a valua ble improvement. This I have accomplished by my invention which I will now describe with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a bureau constructed in accordance with my invention, one of the drawer guides and drawer bearers being removed to show the slots and recesses in the pilasters or corner posts. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken through the center of one of the drawer guides. Fig. 3 is a plan view of one of the drawer guides detached. Figs. 4 and 5 are detail views showing a modification in the arrange- 6o ment of the recesses in the pilasters or corner posts.
In the said drawings the reference numeral 1 designates one end or side panel or wall of an ordinary bureau, 2 the back wall, and 3 and 4 the front and rear pilasters or corner posts respectively, consisting of vertical uprights having a series of slots or recesses 5 on their inner faces which form the seats for the drawer bearers 6, and front rails not shown. These drawerbearers may be of any ordinary or suitable construction, and project a short distance beyond the inner faces of the pilesters and serve as supports for the drawers.
The numeral 8 denotes the drawer guides consisting of a body portion 9, inner spring arms 10, projecting in opposite directions from said body portion, and outer or rear arms 12, the ends of which extend beyond the ends of the inner arms and are seated in recesses 13 in the pilasters or corner posts, so located with respect to the side walls-1, that when the guides are inserted in place the rear spring arms will not come in contact with said walls.
The recesses 13 may be formed in a variety of ways. For instance, as in Fig. 1, said recesses are shown to be rectangular in shape and located just above the rear part of recesses 5 and intersecting therewith. In this construction, to place the guides in position, the extended ends of the rear arms are inserted in the recesses 5, and pushed back until they register with the recesses 13, when they are raised up so as to engage therewith. 5 The drawer bearers are then inserted and the guides will rest upon and be supported there by. In Fig. 4 the recess 13 is shown to be of the same length as recess 5 and in Fig. 5 it is shown to be located above the recess 5 and entirely separate and distinct therefrom.
It will be noted that the drawer guides are entirely free from contact with the side walls,
and the ends of the rear arms being confined in the recesses in the pilasters, when the drawer is inserted the body portions of the guides will yieldingly bear against the same. The front arms will also bear against the drawer witha yielding pressure. By this means, I get the benefit of the resiliency of both the inner and outer arms, without recessing or slotting, and consequently weakening the same.
While 1' have shown the drawer guides as made of a single piece of wood or other material, they maybe made of separate pieces united together, if found convenient or desirable.
Having thus described my invention, what I-claim is 1. In a bureau or other similar article, the combination with the pilasters having recesses therein, and the side walls, of the drawer guides consisting of the bodyportion,having oppositely projecting spring arms, and similarly projecting rear spring arms the ends of which extend beyond the ends of said first named arms and seating in the recesses in thev pilasters, the construction being such that the guides will not come in contact with the said walls of the bureau,substantially as described. 2. In a bureau or other similar article, the combination with the pilasters having slots or recesses therein for the reception of the drawer bearers and intersecting recesses for the drawer guides, and the side walls, of the drawer guides consisting of the body.portion, the front and rearoppositely projecting spring arms said rear spring arms extending beyond the front arms and seated in the recesses in the pilasters and the drawer bearers upon which said guides rest and are supported, seated in the slots in said pilasters, substantially as described.
In testimony that I'claim the foregoing as my own I have hereunto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses;
DAVID M; ESTEY.
