SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 648,917, dated February 20, 1900.
Application filed July 6, 1899. Serial No. 722,921. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY TENDICK, of Manitowoc, in the county of Manitowoc and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and Improved Paper-Holder, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to improvements in devices for holding sheets of paper of various sizes, particularly paper used for wrapping packages in stores; and the object is to provide a device for this purpose that is comparatively cheap and simple in construction and adapted to slide in and out relatively to a counter or the like and to which it is attached, thus not only making it convenient for a salesman to quickly and readily secure any desired sheet of paper, but keeping the paper clean and in good condition and preventing waste that occurs when the paper is left loose or in piles on a counter.
A further obj eot is to provide a cord-holder in connection with the device and also a sponge-holder, so that a person may dampen his fingers on the wet sponge to more firmly grasp the paper.
I will describe a paper-holder embodying my invention and then point out the novel features in the appended claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a partial plan view and partial section of a paper-holder embodying my in- Vention. Fig. 2 is a partial front elevation and partial section of the same. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a sectional detail showing the manner of holding several sheets of paper together.
Referring to the drawings, 1 designates cleats designed to be secured to the under sideof the counter 2 or the like and in which the paper-holder is designed to slide. The paper-holder comprises a frame consisting of the side pieces 3, connected at the front by a cross-bar having a handle 4. The side pieces 3 slide in channels 5, formed in the cleats 1, and to prevent the frame from being moved too far outward or inward I provide the side pieces, near the rear ends, with outwardly-extended lugs or stops 6, adapted when the device is moved inward to engage with a screw 7 to prevent the frame or paper-holder from being moved too far inward and to engage with screws 8 near the forward ends of the cleats to prevent the frame from being wholly removed outward.
The lugs 6 extend into channels 9, formed in the cleats 1, and the screws 7 and 8 pass through these channels to form stops for the lugs. The screws also serve to secure the cleats to the counter.
Cross-rods 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 have their ends attached to the side pieces 3 of the frame. The rods 11, 12, and 13 each support a paperholder, here shown as a plate 15 of springyielding material and bent in the form of a pocket. One edge of the plate is secured to a cross-rod, while the opposite edge, which extends slightly above the plane of the crossrods, is free to move toward and from the cross-rods to yieldingly hold sheets of paper, I
as indicated in Fig. 4.
The several pockets diminish in depth-=as here shown from the rear pocket toward the frontto accommodate the pockets to the different sizes of paper sheets. The shallowest pocket, which is arranged at the front, consists of a plate 16, having one edge secured to the bar 14 and the other edge secured to the front bar of the frame, having the handle 4. While I have shown four pockets in the drawings, it is obvious that a greater or less number may be used without departing from the spirit of my invention. Fig. 3 clearly indicates how the sheets of paper are to be placed in the several pockets-that is, the longer sheets of paper are to be placed in the deeper pockets, and extra-long sheets of paper may be looped over the bar 10, as indicated in the drawings.
To removea sheet of paper, it is only necessary to grasp it with the thumb and fingers and draw it outward, as indicated in Fig. 4. As one sheet is drawn outward and removed the free edge of the pocket material will move toward the opposite edge to'firmly hold the remaining sheets of paper. It may be here stated that the pockets may be made of wire netting, if desired; but in such event the opposite side edges should be provided with spring-wire.
Secured in the forward portion of the frame, at one side, is a box 17 for containing cord,
ICO
which maybe drawn out through an opening in the cover of the box. At the opposite side is a cup 18 for containing a wet sponge, upon which a person may dampen his fingers to facilitate the grasping or holding of a sheet of paper while removing it.
\Vhile I have mentioned the device as being particularly useful for holding wrappingpaper, it is obvious that it will be found useful for tickets in ticket-oiiices, architects drawings, plans, and maps, and also it may be used for tools in tool shops or factories.
Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In a paper-holder, a frame mounted to slide, cross-bars on the frame, and pockets depending from the cross-bars, each pocket consisting of a sheet or plate doubled upon itself and having one edge immovably secured to its cross-bar while the other edge is free to yield toward and from the cross-bar, substantially as specified.
2. In a device of the character described, a frame mounted to slide, and pockets of vary ing depths carried by said frame, the said pockets being formed of resilient material so that the free edges may yield toward and from the opposite edges which are fastened to the frame, substantially as specified.
HENRY TENDICK.
