' To put my invention into practice, I con struct my improved iile or cabinet oftwo standards 1, 1, .each standard comprislng spaced uprights 2-, 2, having outwardly flared feet 3, 3. The uprights 2, 2 areconn'ected together at their upper ends; as at 4, and at intermediate points by transverse plates 6, 7
;and-8. Plates 5, 5 are slidably mounted between the uprights 2, 2 while'the plates (3, 7 In screws engaging the underneath edges of the plates 5,5 whereby said plates may be ad "nsted between the uprights 2, 2 of each standard. Journaledin the plates 51, 5 between the standards 1, is a shaft 10 upon "whichare mounted flanged wheels 11, 11, the objectof which will presently appear. r
"In the plates 8, S is journalcd a shaft 12, and upon said shaft are mounted flanged wheels 14, 14, and a pulley wheel 1-5. Revolubly mounted. in the plates 7 is a stub shaft 16, carrying a pulley wheel 17, and a Passing over the pulley crank handle 18. wheels 17 and 15 lSitIl endless chain or cable" 19, this ch'amor, cable being adapted to 1mpart a rotary movement to the shaft 12, when the stub shaft 16 is revolved through the medium of the crank handle 18,
Upon the. wheels 11, 11 and 14', 14 is mounted an endless chain-orcarrier 20, said chain or carrier consisting of a plurality of casings or compartments 2]. Each casing or compartment comprises a ilat'rectangular b0x-22 having afront hinged lid 23; which is provided with transparent plates 24, wherey the interior of each compartment or casing may be observed. 'In lieu of the trans Figure 1 is a front elevation of 'myim vided with extensions 26 carrying upwardly ing a plurality of i extending hooks 27 and depending eyelets 28. The endless chain is formed y-connectments together, the books 27 of one casing engaging-in the eyelets 28 of another casing, and in t 's manner forming an endless chain of casings or compartments adapted to travel,
upon the wheels -11, 11 and 1f 14,. the inner faces of the extensions 26 at t -e' ends of thecompaitments are curved like the-faces of the wheels 1 1, 1 1',and 14, 14, and are adapted to bear thereon when in motion, and theouter faces of the projections 26 are flat and are adaptedto bear against the inner faces ofthe flanges of the whcels, and the chain prevented thereby-from, material lateral, or swaying movement. The projections 26 are disposed at'a short distance from the inner edges of the compartments, so that a portion of each compartment projects between the inner faces 0 the wheels, which arrangement materially increases the efliciency of the de-- vice andfcauses the compartments to thus serve toa certain extentas guides'toprev'ent lateral movement'of the chain device. a The tension upon the vchain of casings, or compartm'e'nts, is re ulated by the screws 9, while the operation 0 moving the endlesschain-of casings or compartments is accomplished through .the 'men uinof the pulley wheels 15 V and 17. together with the cable or chain 19.
From the foregoing, it will. be observed that I have'devised a novel form of-file or cabinet wherein various kinds of articles may be storedand conveniently reached atany P v. withdrawn by opening'the door 'orlid 23 of used for ofiice work, for
desired time byrotatingthe crank handle 18 i t and positioning the,easing or compartment containing-the desired article at aconvenient ace whereby itmaybe easily reached and the compartment,
My improved file or cabinet can be readily storing letters and such articles'as mustfbe conveniently located. The novelnarrangement of the casings orcom artments consumes a comparatively sma space, and in this connection, I do not care to confine myself to thespe'cificnumber of casinlgafor compartments usedandar ranged as a chain, as tlie nprights 2, 2 may be madeof a considerable height to support a larger numberof casings than shown-in the accompanyin drawing.
