PENCIL-HOLDER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 2, 1906.
Application filed July 6,1905. Serial No. 268,357.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it knownthat I, IsAAo CHRISTIAN REE- soR, a citizen of the United States, residing at El Paso, in the county of El Paso and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Pencil-Holder, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in pencil-holders'. Y
The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of pencil-holders and to provide a simple, inexpensive, `and efficient device designed to be worn by both ladies and gentlemen and adapted to lit pencils of different sizes and capable of firmly gripping a vest-pocket, coat, shirt, or shirtwaist without tearing or otherwise injuring the fabric.
With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended, it being understood that various changesin the form, proportion, size, and minor details of construction within the scope of the claims may be resorted to without departing lrom the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pencil-holder constructed in accordance with this invention and shown applied to a portion of a pencil, the latter being illustrated in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a perspective view from the opposite side of the device. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the pencil-holder, the pencil being shown in section.
Like numerals of reference designate correspondingparts in all thefigures of the draw- 1n s.
.gfhe device is constructed of a single piece of resilient material, preferably steel wire, and the wire is bent to provide a substantially circular loop or coil 1,which is adapted to loosely encirclea pencil 2. One end of the circular loop or coil is bent backward upon itself to form a substantially U-shaped clamping-jaw 3, and the wire is extended to the opposite side of the pencil and bent back upon itself to form a substantially U-shaped jawll. The jaws 3 and 4 are curved to conform to the configuration of the pencil, and they nearly encircle the same, the adjacent ends of the clamping-jaws being slightly separated, whereby the pencil-clamping means formed by the jaws and the loop are capable of adjustment to fit peni cils of different sizes. The pencil is firmly gripped by the opposite aws 3 and 4, which clamp the pencil independently of the resilient coil, and there is no liability of the device accidentally slipping when applied to apencil, fountain-pen, or analogous device.
The outer side or portion 5 of the resilient loop or coil extends beyond the pencil and forms aresilient projecting portion and serves as a support or fulcrum for a clamping-lever 6, one arm or loop of which is held firmly in engagement with the pencil by the spring formed by coiling the wire. The lever is formed integral with the pencil clamping means, the wire being extended from the side 5 of the coil in a direction longitudinally of the pencil to form one side of the rear arm or loop 7 of the lever. The wire is then extended, the entire length of the lever being bent to form a transverse loop-shaped head or jaw 8 for engaging the pocket or other portion of a garment to clamp the fabric between it and the pencil. The end portion of the wire is extended from the head or jaw S to the center of the lever and is bent to form a terminal coil or loop 9. The terminal coil or loop 9 centrally embraces the lever and secures the sides of the upper loop or arm 7 together and at the same time fastens the free end of the wire to the lever. The outer end of the arm or loop 7 is enlarged to enable it to be conveniently compressed or forced inwardly toward the pencil by the thumb to open the other arm or j aw. The transversely-disposed head or loop 8 is bent inwardly at an angle to the length of the lever to increase the gripping action of the latter.
The pencil-holder is adapted to be readily applied to a pen, pencil, or the like, and it is capable of fitting pencils of diHerent sizes and of firmly gripping the same to prevent the device from slipping and also to afford a firm support for the lever to prevent the latter from accidentally slipping from a garment. Itis adapted to securely grip any portion of a garment and may be conveniently worn by either sex, and it will not tear or otherwise injure the fabric to which it is applied.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-' I 1. A device of the class described, comprising pencil-clamping means provided with opposite clamping-jaws and having a resilient projecting portion, and a clamping jaw or lever supported by the said resilient projecting portion, said resilient projecting portion serving to hold the lever in engagement With a pocket or other portion oi" a garment.
2. A device of the class described, comprising pencil-engaging means provided with a loose coil having a projecting resilient portion, said pencil-engaging means being also provided With a pair of' oppositely-disposed substantially U-shaped jaws curved to conform to the coniiguration of a pencil and arranged to embrace the same, the terminals of the jaws being separated, and a clamping-lever connected at an intermediate point with and supported by the projecting resilient portion, Which forms a spring for holding the lever in engagement with the garment.
3. A device ofthe class described, comprising a pencil-receiving coil having means for positively engaging a pencil or the like and provided with a projecting resilient portion, and a lever formed integral with the pencilreceiving coil and connected with and supported by the resilient projecting portion, said lever consisting of opposite loops or arms, the outer end of one of the loops being bent at an angle and extended laterally, and the terminal of the material being coiled around the lever at its point of connection with the resilient projecting portion, which forms a spring for holding the lever in engagemen With the garment.
4. A device of the class described, comprising clamping means Jfor engaging a garment, a pencil-receiving coil forming a spring for the clamping means, and means independent of the coil and the said clamping means for engaging the opposite sides of a pencil.
5. A device of the class described, comprising clamping means for engaging a garment, a pencil-receiving coil forming a spring for the clamping means, and a pair of clamping-jaws connected with the coil and arranged to engage a pencil at opposite sides thereof.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aHiXed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
ISAAC CHRISTIAN REESOR.
