e To all whom z't'may concern:

Be it known that I, EMIL NnLsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Portland, county of Multnomah, and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Nozzle-Hold ers, of which thefollowing is a specification;

' invention, I have illustrate My invent-ion relates to nozzle-holders, and more particularly to a device adapted to hold a hose nozzle in difierent positions for sprinkling purposes.

Among the salient objects of myinvention ane---to provide a nozzle-holder of the character referred to' which is extremely simple and inexpensive and which can moved from place'to place at will and which is adapted to hold a hose nozzle in. various positions of adjustment for sprinkling purposes; to provide .in a device of the,character referred to means for holding the nozzle under-spring tension, whereby it can be quickly and easily adjusted from one position to another with the use of screws or other clamping devices; to provide in a device of the character referred to a supporting base of sufiicient area to insure an upright position of the device, and which base is so positioned relative to the holding part that it is diflicult to overturnthe device when the hose and nozzle are in place therein; to provide in combination with such a device, holding rongs which may be thrust into the groun insure greater firmness, and, in general, to provide a simple, inexpensive, and efiective hose nozzle holder which can be used for sprinkling lawns, gardens and the like.

In order that others ma understand my d the same on the accompanying sheet of drawings, and will now describe the same.

Figure 1 is a side elevation, in perspective,

showing the invention in use; and Fig. 2 1s a top plan view of the upper portion thereof. Fig. 3 shows modification of the invention.

Referring now to the drawings, it will be seen that my nozzle holding device comprises an upright standard portion, Fig. 1,

composed of the members 1, and that these i are turned laterally at their lower ends to form a base portion 2, said upright mem bers being twisted together at their upper ends, as at 3, and turned laterally. in the same direction as said base portion is turned, and formed into a nozzle holding device with the foot and thereby composed of the

members

4 and 5, said ho ldmg devlce comprising what I will call a crooked loop, between the members of which ,1 i

turned laterally in the same direction as are the base members 2 and rest above said base members In such position as to make it very .dificult to overturn the device. The weight of the hose maytend to spring the holding portion downwardly, but because of the, base members being. below, the device is not overturned. It cannot fall over inthe opposite direction without lifting the hose and pulling it over with it. The base members are spread apart suficien-tly far to prevent the device from turning over sidewise. In order to more securely hold the device in an upright posit-ion, I have provided the. base members with holding prongs, 7, adapted to be thrust into the ground when the device is set.

It will be noted in Fig. 2 that the form of theholding device is such that the hose or nozzle can be gripped in difi'erent posi-- tions, and as the hose and'nozzle are held under spring tension between the

members

4 and 5, they can be readily adjusted fromto grip the hose or the nozzle under spring tension and to hold it in any of the osltions indicated in dotted lines. If the older is placed on the hose so that the prong 1' is parallel therewith, said prong lies alongside the hose in a convenient manner to carry or store.

, I do not limit the invention to the exact forms here shown, as I realize that slight modifications can be made without departlit) ing from the spirit of the invention. 1 desire to be limited only by the hereto appended claims, broadly construed.

I claim: A

1. An all Wire nozzle holder comprising upright members twisted together, base members projecting laterally therefrom and provided with holding prongs adapted to be thrust into the ground, and a looped portion formed at the up I end of said upright members and pro ecting laterally over said base members and adapted to hold the nozzle.

2. An all wire nozzle holder comprising upright members twisted together at their upper ends and spread apart at their lower ends and turned laterally to form a base,

he upper ends being formed into a holding loop adapted to receive a hose and nozzle, and to hold the same under the spring tension of said :wire material.

noeaoeo 3. A nozzle holdin device comprising upright wire standar members turned laterally' at their lower ends to form a base, and turned laterall in the same direction at their upper en sand formed into a crooked loop portion adapted to grip a hose nozzle at two points. i

l. A nozzle holding device comprising upright wire standard members turned laterally at their lower ends to form a base and terminating in holding prongs, and

turned laterall in the same direction at their upper endl s and formed into a crooked loop portion adapted to grip a hose nozzle at two points.
