TOBACCO SORTER'S BRACKET. APPLICATION FILED SEPT.26. 1919.

CHARLES S. KINNEY, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.
TOBACCO-SORTERS BRACKET.
Application filed September 26, 1919.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES S. KINNEY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in To bacco-Sorters Brackets, of which the following is a specification.
Heretofore tobacco sorters have had to work under a disadvantage because of the awkward position in which the hand-carrying stock has been placed with relation to the sorter while at work on the bench. Usually it is custon'iary to have the stock upon which the tobacco hands are placed, beneath the table or bench top so that the sorter after pulling the leaves from the stock would have to turn to one side and place the hanos of sorted tobacco upon the stick, it being necessary to move to the front of the stick in order to press the hands of tobacco together compactly. Such operations result in a loss of time and consequently de crease the total amount of handed tobacco produced during the day.
An object of my invention is to produce a bracket which will support the tobacco sorters stick in an easily accessible position with relation to the bench upon which the stocks of tobacco are placed for sorting and which will permit of the tobacco hands be ing placed thereon and pressed compactly upon the stick without the sorter having to move from his position at the bench.
This and other objects are attained in the bracket escribed in the following specification and shown in the accompanying drawing which illustrates brackets embodying my invention, in use and out of use, as well as the position they occupy with relation to the bench. My improved bracket has a forwardly extending arm 1 which terminates at its forward end in a hook 2, the rear end of the arm having a flattened portion 3 in which an angle slot 4 for engagement with a screw or nail 5, is formed. Adjacent to the rear of the supporting arm an inverted hook 6 is formed, which cooperates with hook 2 in supporting the stick as shown in the drawing. A brace 7 is provided beneath supporting arm 1, the upper end oinino' the arm adjacent to its forward end ancf the lower end terminating in a point 8 for pushing into the surface of the wall supporting the bracket. A collar 9 on the brace limits Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 17, 1920.
Serial No. 326,553.
the distance of entrance of the point into the wall. A. short brace 10 between arm 1 and brace 7 is provided for strengthening the bracket.
In using the bracket a nail or screw is driven into the wall. The bracket is then slipped over the nail or screw head to bring the upper end of the slot onto the shank of the nail. The point 8 is then pressed into the wall preferably until the collar 9 engages the wall surface. A tobacco hand supporting stick is then placed in the hooks 2 and 6 and the tobacco hands may then be placed upon the stick as shown, the sorter occasionally pushing them back to compact them on the stick, certain of the hands being shown in the drawing in dotted lines to avoid obscuring the bracket. In such a construction as I have described, the stick may be quickly placed in the bracket and removed therefrom, the bracket affording means for supporting the stick in the best position to facilitate the sorting and handing operation. Should it be desired to use the bracket at the end of the table for supporting the stick in the old position, it may be so located, as shown in the drawing, a portion of the bracket being broken away for lack of space.
Having thus described my invention what I claim is:
1. A tobacco sorters bracket, consisting of a supporting arm. hooks at opposite ends of the supporting arm adapted to support a stick, the wall engaging end of the supporting arm having a slot therein adapted to engage the shank of a headed supporting pin, and a brace beneath the supporting arm. joined thereto at its forward end and having a point at its wall engaging end for engagement with the wall.
2. A tobacco sorters bracket, consisting of a supporting arm having at its opposite ends stick supporting hooks, a brace beneath the arm having its upper end attached to the supporting arm adjacent to its forward end, the lower end of. the brace having apoint thereon for engagement with the wall surface, and a strengtheningbrace between the arm and first mentioned brace.
