GUSPIDOR-STAND.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 29, 1914.

Application filed May 6, 1914. Serial No. 836,767.

such purpose, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, for maintaining the cuspidor in an upright position when the stand is tilted or upset, under such conditions preventing the spilling of the contents of the cuspidor.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a cuspidor stand, which is simple in its construction and arrangement, strong,

durable, efficient and convenient in its use, readily set up, and lnexpenslve to manu-, facture. 1

With the foregoing andother objects in view, the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it'is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which come within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout the several views :-Figure 1 is a top plan view of a cuspidor stand in accordance with this invention and showing the adaptation thereof in connection with the cuspidor, the latter being illustrated in sectional plan, Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the stand showing the adaptation thereof in connection with the cuspidor, and Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation showing the stand and cuspidor.

Referring to the drawings in detail 42, denotes the cuspidor body, 5 the neck of the cuspidor and 6 the cuspidor mouth piece and which is funnel-shaped.

The

reference characters

7, 8, 9 and 10 denote a series of vertically disposed curved supporting legs and secured to the inner faces of said legs centrally with respect to these latter, is an annular supporting member 11 provided with a pair of diametrically opposed bearings 12, for the pintles 13 of a gambrel ring 14. Mounted upon the pintles 13 and, interposed between the ring 14 and member 11 are washers 15. The ring 14 is provided with diametrically opposed bearings 16, and which are interposed between the bearings 12, and mounted in the bearing 16 are arms 17, which project from semi-circular clamping members 18 surrounding the neck 5 of the cuspidor. The clamping members 18 are formed with arms 19, which are of less length than the arms 17 and the said arms '19 are clamped as at 20to the arm 17 under such conditions the cuspidor is supported from and pivotally connected with the gambrel ring 14:.

The arms 17 are provided with stop collars 21 to arrest outward movement of the arms 17.

The cuspidor is suspended within the frame and does not extend to the support upon which the frame is mounted and the legs 7 to 10 project above and below the cuspidor and either end of the legs can be utilized for positioning the stand upon the floor or other support.

What I claim is 1. A cuspidor stand comprising a plurality of clamping members adapted to be secured to the neck of a cuspidor and including arms, a gambrel ring provided with a pair of diametrically opposed bearings in which extend the said arms whereby the clamping member is pivotally supported from said ring, a series of vertically disposed legs, an annular member integral with the inner faces of said legs intermediate the ends thereof and provided with a pair of diametrically opposed bearings, and pintles carried by said ring and mounted in the bearings in said annular member.

2. A cuspidor stand comprising a plurality of clamping members adapted to be secured to the neck of a cuspidor and including arms, a gambrel ring provided with a pair of diametrically opposed bearings in which extend the said arms whereby the clamping member is pivotally supported from said ring, a series of Vertically disposed legs, an annular memberintegral with the inner faces of said legs intermediate the ends thereof and provided with a pair of diametrically opposed bearings, pintles carried by said ring and mounted in the bearings in said annular member, and said legs being of greater height than the cuspidor and supported by the clamping member.

. 3. A cuspidor stand comprising a plurality of clamping members adapted to be secured to the neck of a cuspidor and includ ing arms, a gambrel ring provided with a pair of diametrically opposed bearings in which extend the said arms whereby the clamping member is pivotally supported from sai'd ring; a' series of Vertically disposed legs, an annular member integral With the inner faces of said legs intermediate the ends .thereofand provided With a pair of diametrically opposed bearings, pintles carried, by said ring and mounted in the bearings ainsaidannular member, Washer mounted-npon, said pintle and interposed between saidannulan member and ring, and stop collarsmounted upon said-arms inwardly with respect tor-said. ring.

4.1 m. cuspidor stand comprising a series of vertically disposed segment-shaped legs,

an annular member integral with the inner 20' 'of'semi-circular oppositely disposed clamping members adapted to suspend a cuspidor Within said ring and provided With arms pivotally mounted in said ring, and means for connecting said clamping members together.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
