AHANDLE FASTENER.
(Application filed Oct. 3, 1901.)
(No Model.)
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
LEOPOLD I-IEERMAN, OE NEw YORK, N. Y.
HANDLE-FASTENER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 691,377, dated January 21, 1902.
Application led October 3, 1901. Serial No. 77,383. (No model.)
To all whom it #may concern:
Be it known that I, LEOPOLD HEERMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing in the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Handle-Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide improved means for fastening a handle to articles of various kinds-for instance, to brushes, carpet 'sweepers, tools, baby-carriages, and soon.
The description following hereinafter discloses, in connection with the accompanying drawings, what I consider to be a representative example of my invention. It will be understood, however, that in various respects the construction may be altered and that the novel features of myinvention are those which are pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings just referred to, Figure l is a plan of my improvedv handle-fastener. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation thereof on line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Figs. 3 and tare cross-sections on line 3 3 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 5 is a partial cross-section on line 5 5 of Fig. 3.
A represents the article to which the handle is attached. This may be, for instance, the back of a brush or the casing of a carpetsweeper. I designate it by the generic term ofthe body." This body is formed with arecess or socket A', which is curved to receive the handle-holder B, mounted to turn, as will be described presently.` This handle-holder may, as shown, be of approximate ball shape. The holder is formed at diametrically opposite points with apertures or recesses b, which are in alinement with each other. When the material out of which the holder B is made is not suciently hard, I may provide these sockets with metal linings C. `Into these sockets project pins D, the outer ends of which are formed with flat enlargements or eyes D', through the apertures of which are passed screwsEor equivalent securing devices,which extend into the body A. It will be observed that these securing devices bind the dat portions D' of the pivot-pins D directly against the outer surface of the body A. It will be understood that the pins D form pivots for the holder B, which is thus adapted to rook and even to turn completely around in a transvverse or vertical plane. The holder B is yentirely through the holder B and has, as
shown, a screw-threaded portion B', which extends from one end of thesocket to an enlarged portion B2 at the other end of the socket. This enlarged portion is of such diameter as to receive the Vmain portion or body of the handle F, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, While the screw-threaded reduced end F' of the handle fits the screw-threaded portion B of the socket. The peculiar fastening device for the pivot-pins D holds them securely in place, as their iiattened ends D are clamped tightly against the body A. The handle F has its end portion F made ot such a length that when the handle is inserted in the position shown in Figs. 2 and 3 its end may abut against the wall of the socket A', and of course if the handle is screwed in until a binding contact is effected between its end and the wall of said socket the handle will be kept in a fixed relation to the body A. By slightly unscrewing the handle it can be turned with the holder B on the pivots D and brought to any position, as exemplified bythe inclined dotted lines of Figs. 3 and 4.-. Preferably that end of the holder B which is opposite the socket portion B2 is flattened, so that the rounded end of the handle may more readily project from the holder. This flattened portion may serve a further useful purpose.
When adj usted as hereinbefore described, the handle will be rigidly connected with the body A when the article, such as a brush, of which the said body forms a part is in use.
In some cases it may be found convenient to use the article while the handle is loosely connected therewith, so that it is capable of a swinging movement, as when the handle is attached to a sweeper. Of course this result might be obtained by slightly unscrewing the handle from the position shown in Fig. 3.
This, however, would be objectionable for the reason that the handle would be loose in the holder B, and to obviate this the handle' is removed entirely from the holder, and the latter is reversed, so that the Wide socket portion B2 will be within the socket A ofthe body,
and when the holder is in this reversed position the handle F is screwed in from the screwl threaded portion B' of the socket. The shoulder which is formed at the junction of the body of the handle with the end portion F will then abut against the dat portion or shoulder B3 of the holder B. Inasmuch as this :dat portion or shoulder is farther away from the center or pivot line than the shoulder which s,
is formed at the junction of the two socket portions B and B2, it will be obvious that in this position (shown in Fig. 4) the free end of the handle portion F will not engage the Wall Thus While the handle will I of the socket A.
be screwed tight to the holder B the latter will be practically free to turn on the pivots D.
Having described my invention, what I claim, .and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s
The combination of the body, pivots providedwith flat portions engaging the body, securing devices for pressing said fiat porftions against'the body, aholder provided with sockets for engaging said pivots and with a transverselydisposed through aperture screw-threaded, at least partly, and a handle screwing into the aperture of the holder.
