    N® 21,076 A.D. 1805 Date of Application, 7th Nov., 1895 Complete Specification Left, 22nd Aug., 1896—Accepted, 7th Nov., i896 PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION. Improvements in the Manufacture of Dental and other Drawers. 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 10 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 15 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out when in use, and yet is of such a length as to be capable of pressure which will allow the drawer to be entirely withdrawn, when this is desired.
