COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Wardrobe.
I, FRITZ VOGEL, of 22, Herderstrasse, Dusseldorf, in the Empire of Germany,
Merchant, 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 an improved wardrobe, the arrangement and con-
struction of which is seen from the annexed drawings.
Fig. 1 shows a wardrobe with arms and frame, the doors being opened.
Fig. 2 is a cross section of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 shows the wardrobe with closed doors.
Fig. 4 is a plan view of Fig. 1.
Fig. 5 is a plan view of Fig. 3.
In the interior of the wardrobe, the doors T of which form the front and a part
of the side A are fixed the arms B or frames R carrying clothes hooks, and turn-
able on fixed points i on the side walls A.
On the back or other suitable place of the wardrobe are fixed bands, cords, or
small chains g, which are kept on the frames R and the arms B by means of
eyes o Figs. 1, 2, 4, and 5.
These strings, bands, cords, or chains 9 are provided at appropriate places with
knots or projections which cannot be pulled through the eyes o, in such a
manner, that when opening the doors T the frames R or arms B can be swung
outwards by means of the projections adjoining the eyes o, but they can be moved
still further out by hand and the clothes arranged in the wardrobe can easily be
got at.
In order that when opening the one door T the other door is opened and in order
that also the holders B and R on the other side are moved outwards, a lever h is
fixed on the one door, said lever being connected movably at its free end with
the rod t, the end of which is kept movable on the other wardrobe door
(Figs. 1-5).
The new wardrobe offers various advantages over the usual wardrobes.
The clothes can be arranged in an easier and more comfortable manner; the
danger of crushing them is therefore not to be feared and it is not necessary to
look a long time for a certain garment as when opening a door all the clothes
holders are moved outwards.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
An improved wardrobe with doors T formed partly out of the sides A, with
devices for simultaneously opening both doors T the latter being connected by
means of the lever h and rod t, and for swinging the frames R and the arms B
