PAPER-HOLDING DEVICE FOR BARBERS CHAIRS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 4, 1913.

Application filed August 5, 1912. Serial No. 713,416.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK \Vrrrn, a cit-i zen of the United States, residing at Govington, in the county of Kenton and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper-Holding Devices for Barbers Chairs; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,

improvements in attachments to barber chairs for holding shaving paper and comprises a simple and efiicient device of this nature having various details of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and then specifically defined in the ap-. pended claims.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective View showing the application of my invention to the arm of a barber chair. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the outer face of a receptacle, and Fig. 3 is a sectional view on line 8-3 of Fig. 2.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a receptacle adapted to hold a series of shaving papers, and projecting from the bottom of said receptacle is a bracket arm B through which bolts C pass and also through a clamping bar D. Winged nuts F are mounted upon the threaded bolts and serve as means for holding the clamping and bracket members frictionally against the arm of a barbers chair.

Fixed to the upper edge of the receptacle are the plates F which are apertured for the reception of the rock shaft H having a handle H at one end. A bail-shaped member N is fixed at its ends to said shaft and carries a concaved paper holding rack O which is mounted upon a set screw Q working through a threaded aperture in the bail-shaped member, a suitable spring Q, being mounted upon the threaded shank portion of the bolt and bearing intermediate the bail and a milled nut S upon the screw. Said screw also has jam nuts S and S thereon between which the holder is mounted and a lining T, preferably of rubher, is mounted upon said holder. The threaded portion of the set screw projects through the holder and lining and is pointed and over which a piece of paper is adapted to be caught and held thereby.

Fixed to the inner face of the receptacle are the rubber buffer wheels 1, portions of which project beyond the opposite ends of the receptacle and are in the path of the arms of the bail-shaped member and serve as means for supporting said member in a substantially horizontal position, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. Fastened to the rear of the receptacleare the spiral springs R, each of which has a buffer B thereon and against which the arms of the bailshaped member contact as the latter is thrown back out of the way and to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1.

In order to slacken the lateral swinging movement of the bail-shaped member a coiled spring P is fastened at one end to one of the plates upon the receptacle and its other end to the shaft so that, as the shaft is swung back out of use, the coiled spring will be put under tension slightly, thus deadening the jar somewhat incident to the bail falling down to the position shown in dotted lines.

By the provision of a device embodying the features of my invention, it will be noted that a mechanism is afforded whereby the shaving papers may be held in a convenient location for the barbers use and in such a manner that they will not conveniently blow away, said papers being held in the concaved holder and by the end of the shank portion of the set screw. WVhen the device is not in use, the bail-shaped member may be swung back as shown.

What I claim to be new is 1. An attachment for barbers chair for holding paper, comprising a receptacle adapted for attachment to the arms of the chair, a bail-shaped member pivotally mounted upon the receptacle, and a paper holder upon said bail, as set forth.

2. An attachment for barbers chair for holding paper, comprising a receptacle adapted for attachment to the arms of the chair, a bail-shaped member pivotally mounted upon the receptacle, a holder upon said bail, and a set screw passing through said holder and projecting beyond the face thereof and over which the paper is held, as set forth.

3. An attachment for barbers chair for holding paper, comprising a receptacle adapted for attachment to the arms of the chair, a bail-shaped member pivotally mounted upon the receptacle, a holder upon the bail, and means for holding the bail in a horizontal position when in use, as set forth.

4. An attachment for barbers chair for holding paper comprising a receptacle adapted for attachment to the arms of the chair, a bailshap ed member pivotally mounted upon the receptacle, a holder upon the bail, and buffer members fastened to the receptacle and against the edges of which the bail-shaped member are adapted to contact to hold the same in a horizontal position when in use, as set forth.

5. An attachment for barbers chair for holding paper, comprising a receptacle adapted for attachment to the arms of the chair, a bail-shaped member pivotally mounted upon the receptacle, means for holding the bail in a horizontal position when in use, yielding buffer members fastened to the receptacle and against which the arms of the bail-shaped member contact as the latter is swung down to an inoperative position, as set forth.

6. An attachment for barbers chair for holding paper, comprising a receptacle adapted for attachment to the arms of the chair, a bail-shaped member pivotally mounted upon the receptacle, means for holding the bail in a horizontal position when in use, coiled springs fastened to one face of the receptacle, and a buffer fastened to each end of the spring and each in the path of one of the arms of the bailshaped member, as set forth.

7. An attachment for barbers chair for holding paper, comprising a receptacle adapted for attachment to the arms of the chair, a rock shaft journaled in projecting portions of the receptacle, a bail-shaped member having arms fastened to said shaft, a coiled spring fastened at one end to the shaft and the other to one of said projections, means for supporting the bail-shaped member in a horizontal position when in use, and a paper holder upon said bailshaped member, as set forth.

8. An attachment for barbers chair for holding paper, comprising a receptacle adapted for attachment to the arms of the chair, a rock shaft journaled in projecting portions of the receptacle, a bail-shaped member having arms fastened to said shaft, a handle fixed to one end of said shaft, buffer wheels upon the face of the receptacle and against the circumference of which buffers the bail-shaped member is adapted to contact to hold the latter in a horizontal position, and a paper holder upon the bailshaped member, as set forth.

9. An attachment for barbers chair for holding paper, comprising a receptacle adapted for attachment to the arms of the chair, a bail-shaped member pivotally mounted upon the receptacle, means for holding the bail-shaped member in a horizontal position, a set screw passing through an opening in the swinging end of the bail, a concaved plate mounted upon said set screw, a milled nut upon said screw, a spring upon the shank portion of the screw interposed between the bail-shaped member and nut, jam nuts upon the screw holding said plate in place, the shank portion of the screw being pointed and projecting through the paper holding plate, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

FRANK l/VITTE.
