JAR AND BOTTLE HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 12, 1918.

Application filed May 11, 1917. Serial No. 168,016.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL M. BROWN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of lVilkinsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Jar and Bottle Holders, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to receptacles, and more particularly to a holder, for bottles, jars, and the like, to retain the same from overturning.

An object of the present invention is to provide a holder of this character which may be attached or suspended within a basket, or the like, and within which a bottle or jar may be placed for holding the latter from tilting over incident to the jarring and vibration of the basket when carried.

The invention further aims at the provision of a holder composed of stock material, such as wire, and wire meshing, and a holder of such peculiar construction that it may be economically manufactured and comprises but relatively few parts.

The above, and various other objects and advantages of this invention will be in part described, and in part understood, from the following detailed description of the present preferred embodiment, the same being illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a jar and bottle holder constructed according to the present invention.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same.

Referring to the drawing, the holder comprises a back frame adapted to fit against the inner side of the basket and provided at its upper end with a pair of downwardly opening hooks 10 and 11 for frictional engagement over the upper edge of the basket or other support. The back frame is provided with an upper loop 12, and alower loop 13, which are vertically spaced-apart, and alined, and which project outwardly from the upper and lower portions of the back.

The frame of the holder is preferably composed of but two lengths of Wire of the desired gage to give sufiicient rigidity to the frame when formed. One length of wire, the longer length, is bent at one end to provide the hook 11, and is rolled over at the inner end of the hook 11 to provide an eye 14: which extends into the outwardly extending upper loop 12, the same being arched or rounded outwardly from the back frame and bent at its opposite side or end transversely and inwardly to provide an upper bar 15 which is preferably straight, and which passes near one end through the eye 14. The length of wire is then bent downwardly from the eye 14: to form a side 16 of the back frame, and is then looped forwardly or outwardly beneath the loop 12 to form the lower loop 13. From the opposite end of the loop 13, the Wire is bent abruptly upwardly to form the opposite side 17 of the back frame, and is rolled over at the top of the side 17 to form a second eye 18 through which the adjacent end of the top bar 15 passes. The length of wire extends upwardly from the eye 18 and is formed into the hook 10 as shown.

The second length of wire, which is the shorter wire, engages across the inner end of the lower loop 13 to form a lower bar 19 for the back frame, the opposite ends of the bar 19 being overturned to form eyes for engagement about the inner ends of the loop 13.

The wire frame thus formed is closed in by the provision of a preferably open mesh wire body part composed of the back section 20 which is carried in the back frame, the bottom section 21 which is carried by the lower loop 13, and the rounded front part or section 22, which is stretched vertically between the upper and lower loops 12 and 13. Preferably, the front rounded section 22 is concave at its outer top to provide a resilient gripping surface for the bottle or jar which is placed in the holder, to prevent the accidental dislodgment of the jar or bottle.

It is of course understood that various changes and modifications may be made in the details of construction of the above specifically described holder, without departing from the spirit of the invention, and being restricted only by the scope of the following claim.

I claim In a jar or bottle holder, a body compris-' ing a single strand of wire bent at one end to form a hook, coiled at one end of the hook and extending downwardly to form one corner brace and bent. to form a horizontal substantially U-shaped loop at the lower terminal of the downwardly extending portion to form a bottom for the holder,

said wire extending upwardly from the botshaped loop coiled about the connecting portom parallel to the downwardly extending tion and finally bent to form a second hook,

portion and spaced therefrom, said wire a brace wire connecting the lower ends of 10 further bent to extend across from the upper said parallel portion, and a wire mesh seend of one parallel portion to the other, and cured to said strand of wire and forming pass through said first named coil, bent to front, back and bottom for the holder.

form an upper horizontal substantially U- SAMUEL M. BROXVN.
