Abstract
This invention relates to a new and improved apparatus suitable for the safe support and retention of a wide range of trigger operated glue guns of varying sizes and shapes. A
vertical wooden support member containing several channel like openings is orthogonally attached to a horizontal base. Forwardly of the vertical wooden support member, the base contains a semicircular recessed area which provides lateral stability and automatic positioning of the glue gun. A ceramic tile located forward of the vertical support member is used to catch hot glue dripping from the gun and increase the weight of the present invention for enhanced horizontal stability during use.

Description
Disclosure Glue Gun Holder The present invention provides a new and improved glue gun holder device capable of safely securing a glue gun between uses that overcome disadvantages in the prior art.
There are a multitude of electric glue guns capable of dispensing hot liquid glue known in the marketplace. A persistent problem for users of this product is what do you do with the glue gun between uses? It is necessary to safely retain the glue gun since it has a very hot tip through which hot glue drips. The hot glue can potentially injure the operator or surrounding media. In prior art, some attempts have been made to provide plastic,wire or other holding arrangements to maintain the glue gun in a generally upright position. There have been drawbacks associated with these attempts. Lateral motion of the glue gun, accidental power cord movement, resting of the unit on a non-level surface or inattention while placing the glue gun in a holder could easily cause the glue gun to tip over.
The prior art did not provide a means within a single holder of easily and safely storing a large range of shapes and sizes of glue guns and safely catching hot dripping glue.
Examples of prior art include U.S. Patent NO. 4,730,799 to Foss in which a glue gun organizer is set forth. This device has disadvantages in the complexity of construction and number of parts 206~274 required compared to the present invention.
United States Patent No. 4,333,623 to May, outlines a device constructed of steel. This unit does not provide an easily cleanable surface for hot glue as in the present invention and it requires welding which is a more expensive assembly technique then the present invention utilizes. United States Patent No. 4,998,698 to Martinson has disadvantages in the more complex construction required, and the difficulty in providing horizontal support to a range of glue gun sizes due to the constant spacing between the legs. The present invention overcomes this problem by providing a variable spacing arrangement in its vertical wooden support member to accept the various glue gun sizes.
To overcome disadvantages of the prior art, it is the primary object of the present invention to provide a device for the efficient holding of a multitude of sizes and shapes of glue guns.
In one aspect of the invention, a vertical wooden support member containing several channel like openings, appropriately sized and shaped, allows the holding of a multitude of glue gun designs including small glue guns in the 10-15 watt range. A semi-circular recessed area located in the horizontal base can provide lateral stability to a glue gun, space for the electric cord to move and prevent inadvertant tipping of the gun, and allow automatic,accurate placement of a glue gun device. A ceramic tile 100 catches dripping glue and increases the weight of the device to help resist horizontal movement of the appratus.
The invention having been generally described is further 2 G 6~27~
exemplified by drawings which illustrate preferred embodiments in which, 110 Figure 1 is an isometric view of the embodiment.
Figure 2 is an isometric view of a glue gun resting in the embodiment.
Figure 3 is an orthographic side view of the embodiment.
Figure 4 is an orthographic top view of the embodiment.
120 Figure 5 is an orthographic view of the end of the embodiment.
Figure 6 is an orthographic view of the end of the embodiment.
The figures show a wooden base 8 rigidly and perpendicularily connected to a vertical wooden member 10 at approximately the midpoint of the horizontal base 8. There are three channel like 130 openings 12, formed in vertical member 10, to provide vertical and horizontal support to a glue gun 14, which are available in various sizes and shapes. The vertical wooden member 10 is positioned such that the center of gravity of glue gun 14 is toward the front end 28, of horizontal base 8. When the glue gun handle is located in 140 semicircular recess 16, contact is made with the horizontal base 8, it is slid forward until stop point 18 is reached. The glue gun 14, would now be automatically positioned to rest in the appropriate channel like opening 12. This automatic positioning feature provided by stop point 18, makes it mich easier for the 150 operator to place the glue gun 14 into vertical wooden member 10.
Furthermore, semicircular recess 16 is so located that glue gun 14, is ergonomically located and therefore very easy for the human hand A
20~3274 to grasp or release. Smaller versions of glue gun 14 can be positioned on horizontal wooden base 8, and easily located in the appropriate channel like opening 14. A ceramic tile 20, is firmly attached to horizontal wooden base 8, bordering on rear end 22, side 24, side 26 and the rearward intersection of vertical wooden support 10, and horizontal wooden member 8. Ceramic tile 20, provides aneasily cleanable surface to catch hot dripping glue from glue gun discharge nozzle 32, which is tilted downward while resting. Ceramic tile 20 is suitably sized to provide extra weight on the wooden base 8 to prevent potential movement during operation.
From the description of the preferred embodiments it is seen that a new and improved glue gun holder has been developed. The design features of this invention ensure it can be efficiently produced, used reliably, protect the user and surroundings from hot glue and safely store glue guns of various sizes and shapes. It will fulfil a long felt, but unfulfilled need for this device by craftspeople, artisans, hobbyists and members of the general public.
Although only a single embodiment of the present invention has been described and illustrated the present invention is not limited to the features of thie embodiment, but includes all variations and modifications defined within the scope of the claims.
