Application filedJ'une 17, 1921. Seria11 \To.478,28 5.
a novel napkin holder which can be worn by a person underneath the vest or beneath the lapel of thecoatand by which a napkin can be securely held. I
My improved napkin holder is so constructed that it is concealed from view when not in use, and when in use the only part thereof which is exposed is a small retaining pin on which the napkin may .be impaled.
The device is also constructed so that the point of the retaining pin is protected thus making it impossible fortlie user to injure himself onthe point. i
The device is of such a nature that the napgkin can be readily impaled on the pin or removed therefrom, and when it is impaled on the pin it will be firmly and securely held in the desired position.
I11 order to give an understanding of the lllVQIltlOIi I have illustrated in the drawings a selected embodiment thereof which will now be described after which the novel features will be pointed out in the appended claims.
Figure 1 is a view showing the manner in which my improved napkin holder is used.
Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the napkin holder and the garment to which it is attached.
Fig. 3 is a front view of the napkin holder.
The napkin holder comprises a body memher 1 having suitable means for attachment to the garment of the person using the article, and a pin-supporting member 2 pivoted to the body at 3 and having a napkinretaining pin 4 extending therefrom. The
. shank of the pin t is curved as shown at 5 and it is provided with the point 6. The shaft of the pin is such that when the member 2 stands substantially in alinement with the body member 1 as shown in Fig. 2 the point of the pin will lie against the body member.
The lower portion of the pin 5, however, is separated from the body 1 a considerable distance owing to the curved shape at 5. The

bodyl is provided with ancaperture 7 posit-e the point 6 of the pin, sai jd aperture belng la-rge enough to receive [the point of the pm when the parts'are in the position shown in Fig. 2 thereby protecting the point. A spring deviceis employed which normally holds the parts 1 and 2 in their .alined position shown in F ig'. l but whiclrpermits the pin-retaining member 2 thepivot 3 thereby to separate the pointof the pin from the body of the member.
Any suitablespring device adapted to accomplis'hthis purpose may be employed. I have herein shown the body 1 .as provided with slits 8 forming between them a spring finger 9, the end of which, normally rests against a shoulder 10 formed on the member 2. When the member 2 is turned into the dotted line position the shoulder 10 acts against the finger 9 and flexesthe latter as shown in dotted lines Fig. 2jtlie resiliency of the fingerjaeting ,to return the parts totlie full line position when the member 2 is released.
Anysuitablemeans may be employed for attaching the device to the garment. I have herein shown the member 1 as provided at its upper end with a clasp pin 11 for this purpose.
The device may be worn on the inside of the vest, on the inside of the coat or on the inside of the lapel of the coat as desired. I have shown it in the drawing as worn on the inside of the vest 12.
In securing the device in position the clasp pin 11 willbe caught into the vest on the inside thereof so that the body will hang down on the interior of the vest. The memher 2 is then swung into the dotted line poto be swung about horizontal position, and when in this position the pin is inserted through the vest and the member 2 is then released. The spring finger 9 carries the pin 4 into the full line position F ig. 2 so that it overlies the outside of the vest and the pressure against the point of the pin will cause the material of the vest to be crowded into the aperture 7 somewhat as shown in Fig. 2. The point of the pin thus becomes protected by thematerial of the vest so that there is no danger that the wearer will prick himself on the l/Vhen the device is in this position the onlyexposed portion thereof is the pin 4 which is very inconspicuous.
. shown in To attach a napkin to the napkin holder the operator Will press backwardly on the member 2 slightly thus's'eparating the point of. the pin fromthe vest and then the nap- I be impaled on the pin as shown inFig. 1 and in dotted lines Fig. 2. When kin 13 may the'member 2 is released after the napkin has been applied to the pin the spring 9 will return the point of the pin into its protected position The napkin can be, removed" by 'It is my lntentlon'that the device should i be Worn continually" on the garment and handsor to theclothing. I
then brought into use atmeal time 'or whenever it is desirable to use a napkin. If a person prefers, article from his. clothing after each meal, although it is not necessaryas the device is entirely out of theway when not in use and .the point of the pinis normally protected so that it can cause no injury to a persons I" claim. v I 1. A napkin holder comprising a .body member adapted to be attached to a garment on the inside thereof, a pin-supporting mem- 7 her pivoted'to the body member, anapkinhowever, he may detach the holding pin secured to the pin-supporting member and adapted to be inserted through the garment and placed in position to sup port a napkin by the swinging movement of the said pin-supporting member.
2. A napkin holder comprising body member adapted to beattached to a garment on the inside thereof, a pin-supporting member pivoted to the body member,a napkinholding pin secured to the pin-supporting member and adapted to be' 'inserted'through the garment and placedin'position to support a napkin by the swinging movement of the pin-supporting member, said body member having an apertureto'receive the point r of the pin thereby to protect thelatter;
[3. A napkin holder comprising a body member adapted to be attached to a garment; on the inside thereof, a pin-supporting member pivoted to the body member, a napkin- P holding pin. secured to the pin-supporting member and adapted to-be inserted through the garment and placed in position to support a napkin bythe swinging movement of the pin-supporting member, said body mem ber having an aperture to receive the point of the pin thereby to protect the latter, and
I a spring acting on the pin-supporting member and yieldingly holding thefpin in its operative position with its pin protected.
In testimony whereof, I havelsigned my name to this specification. j PHILIP A. BOWEN.
