This inventioii relates to pl-ionogr,,.ph record cabinets and more parti-lillarly to record ejecting devices therefor. The object of the invention is to p-ovide 15 a cabinet which will -tecommodate ,t maximum n-Limber of records and prevent accidental dis lacen-ient thereof, and megi-is wliereby any one of a nlimber of records may be ejected by a siligle operating@ meiiiber, as 20 desired. These objects, and other advantageoti@s ends which will be described herein-,Lfter, I attain in the follo-wing map_ner, reference being had to the accompanyi-ng drtwin(,s iTi 25 whichFigtire I is a perspective view of a T)hoT-iograph cabinet constri-icted in ,iccordtnce with tlie invention, Figure 2 is an enlarged frogment,,tr-v 30 vertical sectional view throuoh a coinp,,trtment to disclose the record ejecting mepns, Figtire 3 is an inverted top plan view of an ejecting means as applied to one compartment, and 85 FigLire 4 is a rear elev-,ttioii of the striietilre shown in Figi-ire 3, on ,t reduced sc,,tle.
