Patented Apr. 16,1912.
Application filed August 27, 1910. Serial No. 579,280.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK E. P'PooL, a
citizen of the United States, and a resident
of Snyder, in the county of Scurry and State
of Texas, have invented a new and Im-
proved Attachment for Kitchen-Cabinets,
of which the following is a full, clear, and
exact description.
My invention relates to kitchen cabinets,
1- and it has for its object to provide one hav-
ing a plurality of driven shafts, connected
with conveyers and rotating members, and
a driving shaft adapted to be moved rela-
tively to the driven shafts, for engaging
15 and driving any one of the said driven
shafts.
Another object of the invention is to pro-
vide means for locking the driving shaft
when it has been moved to engage one of the
20 said driven shafts.
Still other objects of the invention will
appear in the following complete descrip-
tion.
In this specification I will describe the
25 preferred form of my invention, it being
understood that the scope of the invention
is defined in the appended claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompany-
ing drawings forming a part of this speci-
33 fication, in which similar characters of ref-
erence indicate corresponding parts in all
the views, and in which-
Figure 1 is a side sectional elevation of
the invention; Fig. 2 is a front elevation of
35 the invention in section; Fig. 3 is a sectional
view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is
an enlarged elevation showing the guide
plate at the front of the cabinet; Fig. 5 is a
view showing the collar mounted on the
40 driving shaft, which, together with the
guide plate, serves as a means for locking
the driving shaft; Fig. 6 is a side view of
the same; Fig. 7 is an elevation, showing
the guide plate at the rear of th cabinet
45 and the means for holding it yieldingly in
one direction.
By referring to the drawings, it will be
seen that a casing 5 is provided, having a
central partition 6 and inclined walls 7, the
50 inclined walls 7, the diverging members 8
and the doors 9 separating the bins 10 from
the lower portion of the casing. These bins
10, which are two in number, are divided by
the partition 6.
55 A beater or other member 40 is provided,which is adapted to be driven by the flexible
shaft 35.-
Journaled in bearings in the front wall 17
of the cabinet and in the rear wall 15, there
are two shafts 18 and a shaft 19. Gear 60
wheels or projections 20 are secured to the
shafts 18, respectively, and a gear wheel or
projection 21 is secured to the shaft 19.
A member 22 is secured below the parti-
tion 6, this member 22 having an opening 23 65
in which a shaft 24 is freely disposed. The
shaft 24 is also disposed in a guideway 25
in a plate 26 at the front of the cabinet.
The guideway 25 extends vertically a dis-
tance and it also extends horizontally, cross- 70
ing the said vertical portion.
At the rear. of the cabinet a screw eye 27
is secured to the outer side of the wall 15, a
shank 28 being disposed through this screw
eye, the shank 28 being secured to a guide 75
plate 29. A spring 30 is wound on the shank
28, between the screw eye 27 and the guide
plate 29, to hold the guide plate 29 yield-
ingly downward. There is a vertical guide-
way 31 in this plate 29, a pin 32 being 80
disposed in this guideway 31, the pin 32.
being secured to the wall 15. There is a
second guideway 33 in this guide plate
29, the central portion of this guideway
33 being horizontally disposed, with ver- 85
tically-disposed terminals. To the shaft
24 is secured a gear wheel or projection
34. As will be understood, the forward
end of the shaft 24 may be moved to the
right, so that the gear wheel 34 will engage 90
the left gear wheel 20, or the front of the
shaft may be moved to the left, so that the
gear wheel 34 will engage the right gear
wheel 20, or, if desired, the front of the
shaft 24 may be raised, so that the gear 95
wheel 34 will engage the gear wheel 21.
A lever 42 is pivoted in a slot 43 in the
member 22, the rear end of this lever 42 be-
ing disposed in the vertical guideway 31 in
the guide plate 39. The forward end 44 of 100
this lever 42 projects through the opening
45 in the guide plate 26.
A flexible shaft 35 is provided, the flexible
shaft 35 having a coupling member 36, by
which it may be connected with the shaft 105
19. The flexible shaft 30 is adapted to drive
a beater 40.
Mounted on the shafts 18, within the
compartments 46. there are rotary conveyer
members 47.1,023,593.
