GEORGE E. ERNST, OF MOUNT PLEASANT, IOWA.
TWINE-HOLDER.
SPEOIECATEQN forming part 0f Letters Patent No. 693,849, dated February 25, 1902.
Application filed June 29,1901. Serial No. 66,550.l (No model.)
To @ZZ whom, t may concern.-
Beit known that I, GEORGE E. ERNST, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mount Pleasant, in the county of Henry and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Twine- Holder, of which the following is-a specification.
This invention relates to twine-holders of that class which are employed forV supporting a ball of twine so that said twine may be readily unwrapped as used.
One of the features of the invention resides in a very simple supporting structure which will permit of the ready and easy insertion of a ball of twine and will securely hold the saine so that said twine may be unwrapped without danger of its becoming snarled or tangled.
Another and very important feature resides in a novel form of tension device which may be readily adjusted against the ball of twine so as to permit of its turning when the twine is drawn from the ball, but will prevent any further movement when the pulling strain is released.
A still further feature consists ina construction Whereby the above-mentioned tension device also serves for holding the ball in place and forms a support for one end of the ball-holding means. n
The preferred embodiment of the invention is fully shown in the accompanying drawings and described in the following specification but the ri ghtis reserved to make such changes from the construction shown and described as are within the scope of the claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the twine-holder. Fig. 2 is a longi-f tudinal sectional view of the same. Figs. 3 and 4 are detail views of the supporting-arm and holding-stem.
Similar numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.
In the practical embodiment of the invention a base-plate '10 is provided, having an enlarged circular portion 11, from one end of which projects a fastening extension 12, having a plurality of openings 13, adapted to receivescrews orotherfasteningdevices. From the central portion of the circular enlargement projects a spindle 14, said spindle being preferably made integral with the baseplate or immovably secured thereto at one end. The opposite or free end of the spindle is threaded, as shown at 15. Extending from that portionof the edge of the enlargement 11 which is opposite the extension 12 is a projection 16, and a supporting-arm 17 is secured at one end to the outer end of said projection. This supporting-arm is preferably curved and provided at an intermediate point with a vertically-disposed cord-guide opening 18. The outer or free end of the arm is provided with acentralprojectinglugli). Slidablymounted upon the threaded end of the spindle 14 is a friction-plate 20, preferably in the form of a disk, having a central opening 21, that receives said threaded end. This disk carries a holding-stem 22, the end of which is provided with anotch 23, forminga pair of spaced fingers 24, that are arranged to embrace the lug 19 of the supporting-arm 17. A thumbnut 25 is screwed upon the projecting end of the spindle 14 and, bearing against the friction-disk, holds said disk in place.
In order to place a ball of twine upon the spindle, it is only necessary to remove the V thu mb-nut and friction-disk, thus leaving the end of the spindle entirely free,so that a ball may be slipped upon the same in a manner readily understood. The friction-disk is then replaced and the thumb-nut screwed upon the end of the spindle, said nut being moved.
far enough to bring the disk into frictional engagement with the adjacent end of the ball. 'The free end of the twine is `then threaded through the eye 18, and the device is ready for use. j
By the above construction it will be seen that a very simple device is provided, which can be applied to shelving or in any position desired. A ball may be readily placed upon the spindle and held there by the frictiondisk. Said friction-disk also forms a support for the end of the spindle and by the same means is held against turning, thus protecting the nut from being rotated by the movement of the ball.
From the foregoing it is thought that the construction, operation, and many advantages of the herein-described invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art without further description, and it will be understood that various changes in the size, shape,
Ion
proportion, and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention. t
Having thus described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by means of Letters Patent, is-
l. In a twine-holder, the combination with a base-plate, of means engaging the baseplate for securing it to a wall or similar support, a spindle secured at one end to the baseplate and screw-threaded at its opposite end, a supporting-arm secured at one end to the base-plate and projecting from the same side thereof as the spindle, a friction-disk removably mounted upon the threaded end of the spindle and having'a holding-stem that detachably engages the end of the supportingarm, and a nut screwed upon the threaded end of the spindle and bearing against the friction-disk.
2. In a twine-holder, the combination with a base-plate having an upward extension provided with openings, of a spindle secured at one end to the base-plate and screw-threaded at its opposite end, a supporting-arm secured to the base-plate at the end opposite the upward extension and provided at its other end with a lug, a friction-disk removably mounted upon the threaded end of the spindle and having a holding-stem that is provided with a notch, said notch receiving the lug of the supporting-arm, and a nut screwed upon the threaded end of the spindle and bearing against the friction-disk.
3. In a twine-holder, the combination with a base-plate, lof a spindle projecting from an intermediate portionof the base-plate and rigidly secured thereto, an arm projecting from one end of the base-plate upon the same side as the spindle, means for securing the other end of the base-plate to a wall or suitable support, a friction-plate having a movable engagement with the free end of the arm and the spindle, and an adjusting-nut threaded on the free end of the spindle.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
