LUDWIG W. KAEMPF, OF AURORA, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR T0 JIURORA, ILLINOIS.
JOHN G; BERSCHEIT, OF
FLAG-HOLDER.
Specification of Letters Patent. A Patented Apr. 16, 1918- Application filed March 15,1917. Serial No. 155,024.
To all whom it may concern: I I
Be it known that I, LUDWIG W.-KAEMP1, a citizen of the United States, residing at Aurora, in the county of Kane and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flag-Holders, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to flag holders and has as its object to provide an article of this class which may be manufactured at a low cost from sheet metal and which may be employed in a number of different ways as, for example, by being secured upon a wall, window sill, above a door frame, upon floats, etc.
Another aim of the invention is to provide a flag holder which will be light in weight and yet possess sufficient strength to support a number of flags and their staffs symmetrically arranged.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the flag holder embodying the present invention mounted upon a window sill or similar support;
Fig. 2 is a vertical front to rear sectional view through the holder;
Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the blank from which the holder is formed.
As before stated, the flag holder embodying the present invention is formed from a sheet metal blank and the holder in its completed condition comprises a hollow body and the said body includes an imperforate top 1 which is downwardly and rearwardly inclined with relation to the base of the body, end walls 2 which are vertically disposed, and a front 3 and rear wall 4 which are inclined upwardly and rearwardly in parallel planes, the body being open at its base. The blank is clearly shown in Fig. 4: of the drawings and it will be understood by reference to the said figure that the blank after being cut from sheet metal is to be folded along the dotted lines shown in the said figure so as to produce the hollow body of the form above described. In order that the body may be secured upon a wall, window sill, or other support, each end wall 2 of the body is provided with an integral laterally horizontally extending attaching ear 5 and these ears occupy a common plane with the lower edges of the end walls 2 and front and rear walls 3 and 4 of the body' and these ears are formed each with one or'more aperturesb for the passage ofnails or other suitable securing elements. By reference to "Fig. l it will be observed that the lines upon which the blank is bent to form the ears 5 are non-parallel to the lines along which the blank is bent to form the ends 2 and, consequently, the ears 5 project generally in a forward direction as well as laterally, as clearly shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, and as in the use of the holder the strain imposed upon the same has a tendency to overturn the holder in a forward direction, this strain is more effectually resisted by the forward projection of the ears 5 than would be the case if the ears merely extended laterally and not forwardly as well. i
In order to accommodate the flag stafls to be supported, the front and rear walls 3 and 4 are formed with openings 7 and 8, respectively, it being preferable that the openings in the wall 4 correspond in number with the openings in the wall 3. In the present instance there are three openings 7 and three openings 8 and the middle openings 7 and 8 are located in front to rear alinement whereas the end openings of the series 8 are located nearer to the middle opening of the series 8 than are the end openings of the series 7 to the middle opening of the said series. As a consequence flag staffs inserted through corresponding ones of the openings 7 and 8 will diverge outwardly with relation to each other and thus a symmetrical and artistic arrangement of flags is provided for.
Due to the peculiar shape of the body of the device the front wall 3 is of greater height than the wall 4 and the openings 7 and 8 are equi-distantly spaced below the top 1 of the body so that when the holder is secured upon a window sill, for example, the flag staffs fitted in the openings will be inclined upwardly from the horizontal. In like manner when the holder is secured upon a wall or similar supporting surface, the flag staffs will be inclined outwardly from the wall. Furthermore, due to the arrangement of the openings above described, the inner ends of the flag staffs will engage the surface to which the holder is secured, thereby limiting the insertion of the staffs through the openings 7 and 8 without requiring the use of any securing means for accomplishing this result. Even should the holder be secured upon a support of such a nature that there would be no surface -be yond the Wall 4L occupying the same plane as the base of the holder, the staff's Would still be prevented from slipping through the openings by reason of their mutual engagement rearwardly of thes aid Wall 4.
Having thus described the invention, .whatis claimed as new is:
1. In .an article of the class described, a hollow body having spaced Walls, each Wall being formed with a series of openings, and the openings in one Wall'being spaced apart a greater distance than the openings in the other Wall and the openings in the first mentioned Wall being located a greater distance above the base of the body than the openings in the last-mentioned Wall.
2.111 an article of the class described, a hollow body having upwardly and rear- Wardly inclined front and rear Walls, and having end avalls, the end Walls being provided at their lower edges With integral laterally and forwardly extending attaching pe ons- In testimony whereof Iaflix my signature.
LUDWIG W. KAEMPF. L 8.
