PAPER-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 7, 1918.

Application filed June 16, 1917. Serial No. 175,070.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK TYLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at East Highlands, in the county of San Bernardino and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Paper-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a paper holder adapted to hold sheets of thin paper. It is common practice to wrap fruit with tissuepaper. Holders have been provided to maintain the paper in piles convenient for the wrappers, so that a sheet at a time may be quickly and conveniently removed from the holder.

My invention pertains particularly to a holder, which has a needle for holding the sheets, the needle piercing a few of the upper sheets of a pile. The construction is such that the needle follows the pile as it diminishes in height, and each sheet must be torn from the needle grip.

It is an object of my invention to provide a holder of the character described, which has a needle feeding downwardly in a straight line.

It is a further object of my invention to provide details of structure, whereby a strong holder may be secured, and whereby simplicity of structure and ease of operation are obtained.

I accomplish these objects by means of the embodiment of my invention illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is an isometric view of a packing box, with a paper holding board disposed thereon. Fig. 2 is an enlarged side view of the paper holder, with the board shown in section. Fig. 3 is a front View of the holder with a fragment of the board shown.

Referring particularly to Fig. 1, A indicates a packing box having two compartments, such as is used for packing oranges. The compartment B is in position for packing the wrapped oranges therein, and the The board is indicated by D, and the paper holder E is secured to one wall of the board. The board comprises a bottom which covers compartment C and upstanding from the bottom are side walls. The holder E is secured to the wall 4 and is shown in detail in Figs. 2 and 3.

The holder comprises a bracket 5, which preferably consists of a single strip of metal bent into a loop with the ends of the strip serving as jaws of a clamp. Apertures are provided in the front and rear of the bracket, and extending therethrough is a clamping bolt 6, the head thereof being diszposed at the rear and the threaded end at the front of the bracket. A wing nut 7 is disposed upon the threaded end of the bolt 6, and engages the front of the bracket. The wall 4 is placed in position between the jaws of the bracket, and the wing nut tightened to firmly secure the bracket to the wall 4. Registering apertures are provided in the bracket at the top and bottom thereof. Slidingly mounted in the last named apertures is a needle bar 8. The upper end of needle bar 8 is bent forwardly as indicated at 9 to provide a finger hold, whereby the bar may be lifted. The bottom of the needle bar is off-set as indicated by 10, and the end thereof threaded. A collar 11 is fixedly secured to the off-set portion 10. A nut 12 is mounted upon the threaded ofi'-set l0, and a needle 14 is clamped between the nut and collar 11. This provides means for renewing the needle in the case of breakage. A spring 15 serves to project the needle bar. The spring 15 is herein shown formed of a steel spring wire having one end formed with an eye 16 through which the bolt 6 extends, and having a loop at the center. The other end 17 has a bend therein, and is hooked over the off-set 10. In order to hold the spring in place on the bolt 6, a coil spring 18 is disposed on the bolt in position to hold the eye between the front wall of the bracket and the end of the spring.

A pile of paper F is disposed on the bottom wall of the paper board, and the needle 14 allowed to pierce the upper sheets of the pile of paper. The packer removes one sheet at a time by tearing the sheets from the needle. Due to the fact that there is no pressure upon the uppersheets of the pile, there is no tendency to pull more than one sheet at a time from-the pile.

What I claim is In a paper holder the combination of a bracket comprising a finger adapted to engage the rear face of a supporting wall and a loop projecting forward of said finger having the end thereof adapted to engage the front face of said wall, a tightening member for compressing said loop to grip said wall, said tightening member having its adjustment head disposed at the front of said offset portion being threaded, and means loop, a needle bar slidably secured in said mounted on said threaded end for remov- 10 bracket for straight line movement, said bar ably confining a needle. having an offset portion at the bottom, a In Witness that I claim the foregoing, I
