In the drawing, rollerskate wheels are suggested, although ribbon spools or any, suitable, rollers can be pivoted, by means of screws and washers, to an axle {A), and guided by pairs of hardwood runners screwed to the inside of the side aprons. The axle, which must be accurately measured to insure that the rollers neither run off their lower tracks, nor bind against the aprons, is screwed to the end of the ironing board, being reinforced with flat angle irons, as shown in the detail. 304 FURNITURE MAKING AND CABINET WORK Ang7efror2 Fig. 4.56. Kitchen table with ironing board. The ironing board has a pair of folding legs tenoned into a top crosspiece, which is hinged to a cleat, as indicated. Depending on the height of the table and ironing board, a support (B) is measured so that when it is hinged to the spreader between the ironing board legs, it can be wedged against cleat (?>). The free end of support (B) should be cut at an angle to fit against the cleat when the legs are down. In its closed position support (B) is held up by a hook and eye to cleat (C), which is thick enough to lap over intervening cross cleats and provide a surface to ride over the long roller between the side aprons of the table. The length of the board will of course be determined by the length of the table, unless the latter is especially constructed. In any event, one side apron will have to be removed in order to insert the axle, and the table top must be removed in order to cut out the exit in one end apron. A length of curtain pole or other suitable roller is pivoted near the outer end of the table a distance down from the lower edges of the upper runners or track, equal to the total thickness of ironing board, cleats, and legs. In order to hold the rear end of the ironing board firm while it is in use, the ends of each of the lower runners in the side aprons are cut off at the open end of the table (E) an amount equal to the diameter of the two small rollers pivoted to the ends of the axle. A small section of runner is screwed under these cut off ends to hold the rollers when they drop off the long runner When returning the BUILTIN FURNITURE AND CONVENIENCES 305 board to its position within the table, it is necessary only to raise up the rear end until the rollers engage the upper long track, whose end corners should be beveled off. Modern Breakfront. Although the dining table is often requisitioned for work or study between meals, the average buffet remains sacrosanct as a repository for china, glassware, silver, and linens. It is in an attempt to expand the uses of this singleminded piece of furniture that the multipurpose breakfront (Figure 4,57) described below is presented. With its four textured cupboard doors closed, Fig. 4.57. Modern breakfront. it offers shelves for the display of selected china and glassware, or objets d' art in the modern manner. Extra shelves and drawers can be fitted into the cupboards in each corner, for the storing of china, glassware, silverware, linens, electrical appliances, or bottled goods.
