HOLDER FOR INK-BOTTLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 714,827, dated, December 2, 190.2.

Application filed June 27, 1902.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, EDWARD G. SoL'rMANN,a citizen of the United States of America, residing at and whose post-office address is Two Hundred and First street and Briggs avenue,

in the city, county, and State of New York,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Holders for Ink-Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention has reference to improvements in holders for bottles, particularly for india-ink bottles, such as used by draftsmen,

. having a socket for the reception of the bottle, a plurality of diverging legs extending from said body and lifting the same above the plane of the feet of the legs, and bands crossed over the bottle and connected to the holder.

The nature of my invention will best be understood when described in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a plan or top View of a device embodying my invention with the bottle secured thereto. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the stand. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of Fig. l.

' Similar letters and numerals of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views of the drawings.

Referring to the drawings, the letter A designates the body of the stand, which is provided with a socket 1 for the reception of the bottle B and with a series of diverging legs 2, having upwardly-directed ends 3, forming with said legs means for retaining a pen 0 or other device. In practice the legs are also provided with feet 4, adapted to rest on the drawing board or table and to hold the bottom of the body A above the plane of the same, and consequently only a few small points rest on the drawing. The body A, as shown, is provided with a second socket 5, so as to adapt it to receive bottles of different sizes. Of course the body could be provided with a stepped socket having any desired number of gradations.

Serial No. 113 ,434. (No model.)

To hold the bottle rigidly to the stand, so as to prevent its accidental overturning, I make use of flexible or elastic bands Dfor instance, the ordinary commercial elastic bands-which are looped and crossed over the legs of the stand and the bottle, as readily understood from the showing in Figs. 1 and 2. These bands may, however, be non-elastic, but of course elastic bands are preferable.

For the purpose of facilitating the operation of attaching the bands D the legs may be provided with recesses 6, into which the bands enter.

What I claim as new is 1. A holder for bottles comprising a body having a socket for the reception of the bottle, a plurality of diverging legs extending from said body and lifting the same above the plane of the feet of the legs, and bands crossed over the bottle and connected to the holder, substantially as described.

2. A holder for bottles comprising a body adapted to receive the bottle, a plurality of diverging legs extending from saidbody and having upwardly-projecting parts forming rests for the pen or other instrument, and elastic bands adapted to extend over the bottle and below the legs of the holder, substantially as described.

.3. Aholder for bottles comprising a body having a socket for the reception of the bottle, a plurality of diverging legs extending from said body, and bands extending over the bottle and below the legs of the holder for retaining the bottle, substantially as described.

4. A holder for bottles comprising a body havinga socket for the reception of the bottle, a plurality of diverging legs extending from said body, and elastic bands extending over the bottle and below the legs of the holder "for retaining the bottle, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

EDWARD G. SOLTMANN.

A. FABER DU FAUR, J r., GEORGE W. EISENTRANN.
