ELECTRIC CONDUCTOR TAKE-UP.

UNITED STATES PATENT ()FFTQE.
ARTHUR W. HILL, OF BELMOND, IOWA.
ELECTRIC-CONDUCTOR TAKE-UP.
Application filed June 19, 1919.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ARTHUR V. HILL, a citizen of the United States of America, and resident of Belmond, lVright county, Iowa, have invented a new and useful Electric- Conductor Take-U p, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to provide improved means for containing, delivering and receiving an electric conductor preferably employed in a light circuit; one example of which is the so-called troublelamp used in garages for illuminationof obscure and variously spaced objects; whereby the conductor may be contained in small compass and convenient location and may be successively extended and re-contained with a minimum of labor and loss of time.
My invention consists in the construction, arrangement and combination of elements hereinafter set forth, pointed out in my claim and illustrated by the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation and Fig. is an end elevation of my improved construction mounted as required for practical use. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of parts of the device on an enlarged scale. Fig. 4 is an elevation, partly in section on the indicated line 4: of Fig. 1, on an enlarged scale. Fig. 5 is a rear elevation, partly in section, of parts of the device.
in the construction of the device as shown the numeral 10 designates a yoke and registering holes, one of which is angular and the other circular, are formed in extremities of the arms of said yokes. A device partaking of the characteristics of a spring shade roller is journaled in said yoke and its salient features are as follows: A sleeve 11 is located in the, otherwise, open side of the yoke 10 and carries a brush member 12 at one end, which brush member is formed with a pcripheral channel and is pivoted by means of a circular pivot 13 extending and journaled in the round hole on one arm of said yoke. A brush member 14 is mounted rigidly on the opposite end of the sleeve and both the brush members are insulated from the yoke and sleeve, one element of insulation being attained, if desired, by maln'ng the sleeve of non-conducting material. The brush member 14 or adjacent end portion of the sleeve 11 is pivoted on a pintle or shaft 15, which extends longitudinally and centrally of the Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 305,325.
sleeve and is formedwith an angular end portion loosely fitting and extending through the angular hole in an arm of the yoke 10. The brush member 14 also is insulated from the pintle 15. A coil spring 16 is mounted loosely on and surrounds the pintle 15 within the sleeve 11 and one end of said spring is fixed to the pintle while the opposite end of said spring is fixed to the sleeve. Blocks 17, 18 of insulating material are mounted within the yoke 10 and carried thereby and spring brushes 19, 20 are fixed to said blocks and extend across and in contactwith the brush members 12, 14, the contacting end portions of said brushes lying in and curving outwardly from said members. Conductors 21, 22, in the same circuit, are connected at one terminal each to the brushes 19, 20 and converge to and in association pass through an eye 23 formed on one end of a rod 2%, which eye is located adjacent the central portion of the yoke 10, and from thence said conductors extend together to a source of electric energy such as a service line to which they may be connected by a socket (not shown) in a common manner. Between the brushes 1 9, 20 and the eye 23, the conductors 21, 22 extend sep-' arately through holes in the yoke 10. The rod 24 is fixed to the central portion of the yoke 10 and extends laterally therefrom and terminates in an eye 25. The conductors 21, 22 are constituents of a common lamp cord and are employed to sustain the take-up device as well as to conduct current from and to the source of supply through the'brushes 19, 20. A winding drum 26 is mounted on the sleeve 11 and preferably is secured rigidly, yet detachably, thereto by a clamp 27. A lamp cord is adapted to be wound on the drum 26, extend through the eye 25 and 'carry a lamp 28 on its outer end, and the members 29, 30 of the lamp cord have their term nals opposite to the lamp in diverging relation from the drum and in contact with and soldered to the brush members 12 and 14 respectively. The eye 25 serves as a guide for the lamp cord in winding on or unwind taken up. Thus provision is made for rest of the lamp at any desired location in use. The lamp may be carried manually to any location for use, such manipulation unwinding the lamp cord from the drum 26, and, at all times, the lamp cord is fed with current from and delivers it to conductors 21, 22 through the brush members and brushes, except when the current is intercepted by any switch which may be employed.
1 claim as my invention An electric conductor take up, comprising a yoke, a spring roller mounted in and connecting the extremities of arms of said yoke, a drum detachably mounted on said roller, brush members on the ends of said roller, a
lamp cord adapted to be wound on said drum, which lamp cord has its members separated at one end and connected with said brush members, brushes on and insulated from said yoke, which brushes are in contact with said brush members, conductors leading from said brushes, a rod on and transversely of the yoke, which rod is formed with an eye on each end, said lamp cord traversing one of said eyes, said conductors traversing the other eye and supporting the entire device.
Signed at Belmond, in the county of Wright and State of Iowa, this 7th day of June, 1919.
