GREGOR MENZEL,S
RATENT REVOLVING
FIRE AND BURGLAR PROOF
DO UB LIE CYLINDER
8 A If E.!

THE advantage of this Fire and Burglar Proof
SAFE consists in its peculiar construction. The
most serious objection to Safes heretofore in use has
been their liability to destruction by falling from
heghts and the impossbiity of rendering the doors
impervious to heat; particularly in large safes where
the door is doube and, in fact, the whole front of
square safe is door. These and other objections an
picable to the present mode of making Safes are OBJ
waited by this patent by constructing it in cylin-
drical shape with tops and bottoms thus Sc
curing the greatest possible strength and by max
ing the interior to revove upon pivOts, bringing
smooth mpenetrable surface OF iron entirely across
the outer opening, with no inlet or seam.
between this inner compartment and the outer
cylinder, is an air chamber, extending completely
around, leaving connection between the two
structures but the pivots upon which the interior
cylinder revoves. These advantages are manifold
but we call attention to singular feature of the in
vention; it is, that the inner safe is movable and
when the outer door is opened the surface of the lat
ter presents an appearance that Indicates that the
whole safe is solid mass. The signal importance of
this fact is evident for when the inner safe is unlock
ed and made to turn its door is Immediately exposed
and pigeon holes are exposed. The frame which con-
tains them is also movable and revolves upon pv-
OTIS; so that, when pushed around brings another Sc
ries of divisions for books drawers and pigeon holes
to the hands thus it is double the capacity of square
safes. Not only does this system present greater re-
iron cannot part from the filling, and of there being
no contact of the inner with the outer surface lex
cept at the pvots where the filing is made purpose
ly thicker but the bullying front of the interior sur
face, without oriice when turned, is equally proof
against burglars. =
The contour of this safe is more symmetrical and
durable than the old STYLE is susceptible of higher or
namentaton, and is from the very nature of the case
easier of transportation it be rolled about like
a barrel OF hoop.
