I Andrew Brown of 104 George Street, in the City and County of the City ot Glasgow, North Britain Aseptic Furniture Maker do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be perfonned, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement,— It relates to aseptic stands and has for its chief objects to adapt them for the use of inmates and patients of infirmaries and other institutions, and .not merely, as hitherto, exclusively for the use of the nurses and medical staff. The invention will be better understood if reference is made to the accom¬ panying drawings in which : — Figure 1 is a view in perspective representing an aseptic metal stand coiin taining lockers and made in accordance with this invention. Figure 2 is a view in perspective representing the skeleton framework of the stand shewn in Fig 1. Figure 3 is an end view in elevation of the stand represented in Fig 1. Figure 4 is an end view in elevation of the frame shewn in Fig 2. Figures 5 to 9 are views in plan representing the several metal ring frames comprised in the stands shewn in Figs 1 to 4. Figures 10 to 15 are enlarged views representing sections of the* various ring frames shewn in Figs (1 to 9. Similar letters of reference and numerals throughout the illustrations indi¬ cate corresponding parts. In carrying out one modification of the invention, as represented in Figs 1 to 4 of the drawings, a composite metal frame is constructed and comprises four upright tubular supports, A, upon which a series of open metal ring frames, B, C, 1), E, are threaded and lixed in horizontal positions at suitable *>5 distances apart, dividing the structure into several tiers. The uppermost ring frame, B, of the said series is designed for loosely sup¬ porting a glass or other slab for table purposes. Holes, b\ are formed in it for the reception of the supporting tubes, or rods, A, and flanges b2, Figs 1 to 5 are formed upon its upper surface as barricades within which to enclose g ) a table top consisting of a slab of glass, marble or other suitable material, such as that which is indicated by F Fig 3. (Ark or rubber studs b‘\ Figs 1 and 2 are inserted as bearers for an aseptic slab and prevent noise from vibration. The lower ring frames G, F), E, Figs 1 to 4 each differing in certain details of construction one from another, form parts of lockers or clipboard receptacles for containing the clothing and other properties of inmates residing in such institutions as beforenamed. Each of the lower frames C to E is slightly recessed on its upper side as indicated at r1 Figs 6 and 10 to 15. A sheet of tin or other thin metal, G, is soldered into each of these recesses cl and is then flush with the face of the ling frame and constitutes either a roof or a bottom to a cupboard receptacle. A pendant flange, b2, is formed upon the undersides of tlie four bars com¬ prising the ring frames C and 1), and is represented by the b la-ex part marked h2 111 f’ ig '• A pendant flange, h2, is formed upon the underside at each corner of the ring frame E and is represented by the black parts marked h2 in Fig 9. ! In' sheet metal feet, <t\ Figs l and 3, are soldered to the corner fiansyes b2 34 45 on tlie underside of the ring frame E, and to the supports A. An upright flange, is formed upon the top sides of the back and end bars comprising the ring frames 1) and E. When these said ring frames are fitted ‘ 50
