be as follows:-
The invention relates to that class of articles designed to hold liqueur or spirit
bottles, with recess in base for glasses, cigars, cards &c., and the improvement consists
in the revolving cylinder cover for the said recess combined with automatic securing
and releasing of bottles which is effected in the following manner :-The cylinder
cover revolves on pivots at the ends and hinged to the upper edge of the said cylinder
is a strip of wood having on one end sliding in a shaped groove in such a manner that
when the cylinder cover is closed the strip secures the bottles, and when the cylinder
is released and pushed back the said strip slides back to some extent with it, this
releasing the bottles, so that everything in the said cabinet is released at the same
time.
The particular improvement we claim is the combination of bottles, securing strip,
