ABSTRACT:
Furniture pieces of the type normally having internal compartments, are provided with hidden compartments for effective concealment of relatively small but valuable articles. A number of constructional variations are disclosed, each including a removable panel member having opposite edge portions which may be positioned in grooves provided in fixed portions of the furniture piece. Spring means in one of the grooves bias the panel member to a stationary position. Handle means are affixed to the panel member for ease of placement in and removal from the grooves. The panel member and handle means have the appearance of other, conventional parts of the furniture piece and, when the panel member is positioned in the grooves, the compartment which it covers is essentially undiscernable, and therefore undetectable to those unaware of its presence.
