I, FRANK FROST of 9 West Terrace Eastbourne in the County of Sussex
Mechanical Dentist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention consists of a new kind of drawer suitable for the holding of
dentists drills or other instruments. The drawer, being externally like an ordinary
drawer, can be fitted to any cabinet or chest and is of sufficient depth and length
to hold the drills or instruments, and has the following novel and useful features,
that is to say, (a) It is severed and hinged parallel with the front of the drawer
in such manner that when the drawer has been pulled out and the handle released
the front severed portion of the drawer drops down by means of the hinge and
leaves the drills or instruments partly exposed and projecting so that any one of
them may be easily selected and taken. If it be desired to have the back severed
portion of the drawer of a graduated instead of uniform depth this is accomplished
by putting in a false back to the drawer inserted at the angle desired
(b) The
bottom of the drawer is grooved or corrugated so as to form convenient receptacles
or beds for the drills or instruments (c) The entire width of the drawer is covered
in at the top for a certain distance from the back (or false back as the case may
be) in such manner that when the projecting end of a drill or instrument is pressed
upon at the front in course of selection or withdrawal it cannot tip up and fall, or
get out of position (d) The drawer is fitted with a spring let in to the bottom at
the back which so projects as to prevent the drawer from coming right out when
in use, and yet is of such a length as to be capable of pressure which will allow the
drawer to be entirely withdrawn, when this is desired.
Dated this First day of November 1895.

Mechanical Dentist 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 consists of a new kind of drawer suitable for the holding of

to hold the drills or instruments and has the following novel and useful features,

such manner that when the drawer has been pulled out and the handle released
the front severed portion of the drawer drops down by means of the hinge and
leaves the drills or instruments partly exposed and projecting so that any one of them
may be easily selected and taken (Fig. 1). If it be desired to have the back
severed portion of the drawer of a graduated instead of uniform depth this is

page_text: accomplished by putting in a false back to the drawer inserted at the angle desired
(Fig 2). (b) The bottom of the drawer is grooved or corrugated so as to form
convenient receptacles or beds for the drills or instruments (Figs. 1 and 2)
(c) The entire width of the drawer is covered in at the top for a certain distance
from the back (or false back as the case may be) in such manner that when the
projecting end of a drill or instrument is pressed upon at the front in course of
selection or withdrawal it cannot tip up and fall, or get out of position (see A
Figs. 1 and 2) (d) The drawer is fitted with a spring let in to the bottom at the
back which so projects as to prevent the drawer from coming right out when in
use, and yet is of such a length as to be capable of pressure which will allow the
-drawer to be entirely withdrawn when this is desired (see B Fig. 3).
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
:
1. A drawer with a bottom severed and hinged in the manner or substantially
the manner herein set forth at (a). '
2. A drawer with a bottom grooved or corrugated in the manner or substantially
the manner herein set forth at (b).
3. A drawer partially covered in at the top of the back part thereof in the
manner or substantially the manner herein set forth at (c).
4. A drawer fitted with a spring of the character or substantially the character
-of that herein set forth at (d).
