TORPEDO AND FUSEE HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 28, 1914 Application filed January 24, 1914. Serial No. 814,068.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SHERMAN S. GREEN, of Snohomish, in the county of Snohomish and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Torpedo and Fusee Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The primary object of this invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive holder for torpedoes and fusees, whereby danger of 1njury will be avoided in carrying them about.

In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a view in perspective. 1 Fig. 2 is a side elevation. Fig. 3 is a top plan view. Fig. 4 is a rear elevation.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a body which is shown as composed of a plate having its upper and lower ends 9. and 3 bent at right. angles thereto and paralleh, ing each other. In the upper end 2 are circular openings 4 to accommodate the body portions of two fusees, while in the lower end 3 are relatively small openings 5 to receive the pointed ends of the fusees.

6 is a chamber for the torpedoes. It is shown as mounted on the lower end 3 of plate 1, which end is, in consequence, of somewhat greater width than the upper end 2. This torpedo chamber is shown in the form of a single plate having its sides bent back upon itself, but leaving between themselves and the body of the plate sufficient room to accommodate the torpedoes, and likewise suflicient space between the longitudinal edges of the bent over sides to permit the operator to readily engage the tor-. pedoes and move them upwardly in the chamber and out of the upper end thereof. This chamber is connected at its upper end by a brace 7 to plate 1 so as to be perfectly rigid with respect to the fusee holder. The lower end 3 forms the bottom of the torpedo chamber. The distance between the upper end of the latter and the upper end-plate 2 is sufficient to allow of the easy insertion and removal of the torpedoes.

\Vith a device thus constructed torpedoes and fusees may be safely carried about from place to place and held conveniently at hand ready for use without danger of anybody being injured by the torpedoes or the sharp points of the fusees.

To enable the device to be readily attached to a lantern I provide plate 1 on its rear with means for that purpose. I have shown two hooks 8 secured to plate 1 and an eye 9 through which a wire or cord 10 may be passed for readily tying the device in place on a lantern.

The advantages of my invention will be readily appreciated by those skilled. in the art.

I claim as my invention:

1. A fusee and torpedo holder comprising a body having upper and lower forwardly projecting portions provided with openings to accommodate fusees, and a torpedo chamber mounted on said lower portion and spaced from said body, said chamher being open at its upper end and formed in its front with a longitudinal slot, said lower forwardly projecting portion of the body forming the bottom for said torpedo chamber.

2. A fusee and torpedo holder comprising a plate having upper and lower forwardly extended parallel portions formed with openings to accommodate fusees, a chamber mounted on said lower portion and consisting of a plate bent back upon itself at its sides with an intervening space between its longitudinal edges, and a braceconnecting said latter plate to the first mentioned plate.

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

SHERMAN S. GREEN.
