CRAYON-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 19, 1911.

Application filed December 15, 1910. Serial No. 597,509.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it lmown that I, Enron WILsON, a

. citizen of the United States, residing at Hoquiam, in the county of Chehalis and State of Washington, have invented a new and useful Crayon-Holder, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to crayon holders.

The object of the invention is to provide a crayon holder adapted more particularly for use by lumbermen, in which there is novel means provided for ejecting the crayon, and also for looking it in its adjusted position, the ejecting means serving to prevent the crayon from rattling or working within the holder whereby danger of breakage is reduced to the minimum.

With the above and other objects in View, as will appear as the nature of the invenion is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction and combination of parts of a crayon holder, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts :Figure' 1 is a perspective view of a crayon holder constructed in accordance with the present invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through the holder, showing the spring for ejecting the crayon and the set screw for locking it in its adjusted position. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 33 of Fig.- 2. Fig. 4: is a fragmentary detail view in section showing more particularly the manner of securing the ejecting spring within the holder. Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail view, partly in section of the set screw.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates the barrel of the holder, which may be made of any metal suitable for the purpose, and one end of which terminates in a hex agonal portion 2, the remainder of the barrel as shown n Fig. 1, be ng circular in cross section. The object of providing the hexagonal portion is to hold the crayon against turning, so that when locked by the set screw 3, it'will be positively held in position for use. The set screw it? provided with a knurled head 4, with. a locking nut 5, and its end'is provided with a socket 6 the walls of which are tapered and sharpened as at Tim the purpose-of biting into the material 'of the crayon.

The crayon is projected from the barrel by a coiled spring Gone end of which has secured to it a disk 8 the periphery of which is provided with a groove 9 in which is seated one of the whirls of the spring, and held there by being soldered in place. The disk is provided with a centrally threaded orifice which is engaged by the shank 10 of a cap 11, the latter being threaded into the barrel, and by this arrangement the spring is positively held against accidentat disconnection,- so that loss will not ensue. The cap is centrally provided with an eye 12 to which a length of cord can be secured thus to prevent loss of the implement.

I claim.:

A crayon holder comprising a barrel, 8. spring arrangedin the barrel, a disk secured to one end of the spring and provided witha centrally disposed threaded orifice, and a cap threaded into the barrel and having a shank engaging the orifice of the disk and arranged to adjust the ten sion of the spring. Q

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aiiixcd my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

ERICK WILSON.
