COMBINATION TaAY AND GLASS HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 16, 1912.

Application filed September 27, 1911. Serial No. 651,488.

vatehouses and other places, and arrangedfor convenient attachment to a table or other support to conveniently hold a drinking glass and support cigars, cigarettes, ashes and matches.

For the purpose'mentioned, use is made of a standard provided with attaching means for fastening the device to a table or other support, a sleeve mounted, to turn on thesaid standard and provided with horizontal arms standing at an angle one to the other, one of the arms being adapted to support a drinking glass and the other arm carrying an ash tray and match box holder.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification in 0 which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is aside elevation of the combination tray and glass holder attached to av table top to extend below the same; Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same;v Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the same on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the combination tray and glass holder attached to a table and extending above the same.

The standard A is provided at one end -with a clamp B for attaching the combination tray and glass holder to a table C or other support, the clamp 13 being provided with a clamping screw D for engagement with the under side of the table C to removably fasten the clamp B in place on the table C. The upper member of'the clamp B is preferably provided at the under side with cushioning lugs E, of rubber or other suitable material adaptedto engage the top of the table C so' as not to mar the table on using the device. The standard A is pro-' vided with a reduced portion A on which is mounted to turn a sleeve F provided with two horizontal arms G and H, provided with receptacle supports, and extending at an angle one to the other and in different planes as Will be readily understood by reference to the drawings. For purposes of illustration, I have shown the arm Gr having its free end enlarged and apertured for suppprting a drinking glass, cup or other vessel,

and the said arm provided with spring arms Jr adapted to clampingly engage the sides of the yessel so as to securely-hold the. same 1n position on-the arm G at the same time permittlng convenient removal ofthe vessel whenever it is desired to use the same for, I

drinking purposes. I have also shown the arm H provided with areceptacle support in the form of a tray J.

As shown in Fig. 1, the clamp B is 'ar-' ranged on the upper end of the standard vA, so'that the standard, the sleeve F and the receptacle supporting arms G and IT and the parts carried thereby are below the top of the table C, but, if desired, the clamp 13 may be on the lower end of the standard A,

as shown in Fig. 4, to support the receptaclesupporting arms above the table top. In elther case, the sleeve F canbe readily turned so as to bring either the gla-ss'supporting arm G or the tray supporting arm H into convenient position for the user, it belng understood that on turning the sleeve F the parts can be readily moved into an out of the way position until it is desired to use the same.

By reference -to Fig. 2 it will be noticed that the arms G and H stand at an obtuse angle one relative to the other, so that the glass carried by the arm G and the tray carried by the arm. H do not interfere one with the other and permit their convenient use individually, and both the glass and the tray can be swung under the table to be completely out of the way, or the sleeve F may be turned to move either glass or tray into an outer position to one side of the table for convenient use.

In order to prevent accidental turning of the sleeve F, the arms G, H and the parts supported thereby, use is made of a spring N coiled on the reduced portion A of the standard A and bearing against. the sleeve Fso as to hold the same against'accidental turning.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

l. A device of. the character described, comprising astandard having one end reduced and provided at its other end with a clamp for detachably securing it to a table or the like, a sleeve mounted to turn on the reduced end of the standard and having integral arms provlded with receptacle supports, said arms being arranged with their longitudinal axes placed at such an angle as to bring one side of said supports adjacent to each other, so that the sleeve may be 10 rotated to bring both receptacle-supports si- 20 reduced end of the standard and having integral arms provided with receptacle supports, said supports being displaced vertically with respect to each other and said arms being arranged with their longitudinal axes placed at such an angle as to bring one side of said supports adj acentto each other, so that the sleeve may be rotated to bring both receptacle-supports simultaneously into alinementwith the table or simultaneously out of alinement with the table, or respectively into and out of alinement with the table.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

THEO. G. HOSTER, PHILIP D. RoLLHAUs.
