PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement connected with Revolving Book and like Supports
or Stands.
I, HENRY FERRIS, of (Faudel Phillips & Co.) 36-40 Newgate Street, City of
London, Cabinet Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
-
This invention relates to a certain improvement in supporting the upper frame
or casing of a table library, a liqueur or like case from below in order to obviate
the grating friction upon the upper surface of the lower frame, also to prevent
wobbling motion should the centre pin or the bushing work loose.
For the purpose of this invention, the centre pin is provided with a shoulder to
which a disc is secured by any kind of fastening. This disc is under the top plate
of the lower frame, and its outer edge near the periphery is borne by rubber, or
other clothed rollers, the axles of which are secured radially, or from corners under
the lower frame, so that the weight of the upper frame is supported from points at
a distance from the centre.
The adjustment of the two frames is such that although the upper frame when
revolved appears to bear upon the lower frame, there is a clear space between
them, the whole of the weight of the upper frame and the books, and glass bottles,
or other objects is borne by the disc and rollers.

SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement connected with Revolving Book and like Supports
or Stands.
I, HENRY FERRIS, of (Faudel Phillips & Co.) 36-40 Newgate Street, City of
London, Cabinet Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to a certain improvement in supporting the upper frame
or easing of a table library, a liqueur or like case from below in order to obviate
the grating friction upon the upper surface of the lower frame, also to prevent
wobbling motion should the centre pin or the bushing work loose.
My invention is represented on the annexed drawings.
Figure is an exterior elevation of a book case with the underframing in
section.
Figure 2 is an under plan of the lower frame of hexagon shape.
Figure 3 is an under plan with the lower frame of square shape.
For the purpose of my invention, the centre pin A is provided with a shoulder B
to which a disc C is secured by any kind of fastening D. This disc C is under the
top plate E of the lower frame F, and its outer edge near the periphery is borne
by rubber, or other clothed rollers G, the axles II of which are secured radially,
or from corners under the lower frame, so that the weight of the upper frame I is
supported from points at a distance from the centre.

page_text: The adjustment of the two frames is such that although the upper frame [
when revolved appears to bear upon the lower frame F, there is a clear space
between them, the whole of the weight of the upper frame I and the books and
glass bottles, or other objects is borne by the disc C and rollers G.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The improvement connected with revolving book and like supports or stands,
substantially as described and shown on the annexed drawings.
2. Providing the pivot of a revolving book or like case with a disc C for riding
on rollers Garranged in the under frame F so that the whole of the weight of the
book or like case is borne by the dise Cand rollers G at a distance from the centre,
ns set forth.
