Patented Sept. 13, I221.
Application filed September 21, 1920. serial No. tllfi'tl.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LOTTIE L. ARMsTnoNo, a citizen of the United States, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia,
have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottle-Holders, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a holder for bottles, to prevent the same from being accidentally overturned.
An important object of the invention is to provide a device of the above mentioned character, the parts of which are adapted to be stamped from a sheet, quickly and convenientl whereby the device may be manufacture at a low cost.
A further object of the invention is to provide a blank stamped from a sheet, in a manner whereby the holding fingers are suitably elongated, to engage over the upper portion of the bottle, thereby securely holding the same against improper separation from the device or holder.
A further object of the invention is to provide a device of the above mentioned character, which may be applied to the bottle by a downward movement over the same, and which will permit of the ready with drawal of the bottle from the device, when desired.
A further object of the invention is to provide means whereby the resilient arms will not tend to wear or break at their points of connection with the body portion of the device.
A further object of the invention is to provide a device of the above mentioned -character, which is particularly well adapted for use in connection with a flat bottle,
such as is ordinarily employed to hold drafting ink, and which is neat and attractive in appearance, and will take up very little space in use.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent during the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,
' Figure 1 is a perspective view of a device embodying my invention,
Fig. 2 1s a fragmentary plan view of a blank having the elements of the device stamped therefrom,
Fig. 3 is a similar view elements bent up,
Fig. 4 1s a vertical transverse section through the device, holding a bottle, and,
Fig. 5 IS a similar view, with the bottle removed.
In the drawings, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 1 designates a plate, blank, or preferably flat body portion, stamped from a sheet, such as sheet metal, while other suitable material may be employed. The plate or blank 1 has a plurality of spaced segmental openings 2, stamped therefrom, Fig. 2, which are subsequently converted into a single bottle receiving opening 2, which may be located centrally of the plate or blank 1, while this location may be varied, as desired. Stamped from the sheet with the plate or blank 1 are radial arms 3, preferably four in number, Fig. 2, and which originally separate the segmental openings 2. After the arms 3 are stamped, they are bent transversely at their bases, upon the lines 4, and assume upright positions, Figs. 3 and 5, but preferably slightly inclined inwardly, as shown. The plate or blank 1 is slit radially adjacent the base of each arm 3, at 5, providing a radial resilient portion 5. This is an important feature of the construction, as it relieves the point 4 of excessive bending action, and hence overcomes, to a considerable extent, the tendency, of the arm to wear or break at the point 4.
In order that the arms 3 may be stamped from the material confined within the opening 2, and yet be sufficiently long, a peculiar stamping or slitting arrangement is provided for the ends of these arms. When the plate or blank 1 is stamped, as above described, a pair of slits 6 and 6 are cut with each arm 8, forming a finger 7, for each arm. The sets of slits 6 and 6' are arranged in a square group, forming a square opening 7', centrally thereof. The finger 7 to the right, determines the length of the finger 7 to the left, disposed at a right angle thereto, thereby enabling each finger to project beyond the center of the opening 2, and hence increasing its length, which may be varied by changing the width of the finger 7 The ends of the fingers 7 are bent inwardly slightly, as shown at 8, to engage over the shoulder 9 of an ink. bottle 10.
with the holding The material from which the device is formed, being preferably metal, is of course resilient, and the finger 7 by being narrower than the arms 3, permit of the local bending of these fingers, when the bottle 10 is withdrawn upwardly from between the arms 3, allowing the in bent portions 8 to release the shoulder 9.
In the use of the device, the bottle 10 is placed upon a desk or table, and the plate 1 brought downwardly over the bottle, whlch passes through the opening 2. The arms 3 have clamping engagement wlth the body portion of the bottle, tending to prevent accidental displacement, while portions 8 of the finger 7 engage over the shoulder 9. To remove the bottle, the plate 1 is held to the desk, and the bottle drawn upwardly from between the arms and fingers. The plate 1 may be made in any suitable or desired size, and being preferably flat and thin Wlll not obstruct the use of the desk or table, and of course effectively prevents the overturning of the bottle. If desired, suitable advertlsing matter may be arranged upon the upper surface of the plate 1.
It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and that various changes in the shape, size, and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of my invention, or the scope of the subjoined claims.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:-
1. A bottle holder comprising a blank having a bottle receiving opening stamped therein and integral arms adjacent said opening, said arms being arranged at substantially a right angle to each other before being bent upwardly and sufliciently long to extend from their bases beyond the center of the opening.
2. A bottle holder comprising a blank having a bottle receiving opening stamped therein and a plurality of pairs of substantially radial arms stamped therefrom and originally extending radially of the opening, said arms each being sufliciently long to extend from its base to a point upon the opposite side of the center of said opening, said arms being bent upwardly at their bases.
A blank having a set of segmental openings stamped therefrom and radial arms extending inwardly between the segmental openings in angular relation to each other, said arms having their inner ends reduced whereby each arm extends from its base to a point beyond the center of the set of segmental openings, said arms being bent transversely at their bases and extended upwardly.
4. A. blank having a set of segmental openings stamped therefrom and radial arms extending inwardly between the segmental openings, the blank being provided with a pair of slits extending longitudinally of each arm near its end for forming a reduced finger, the fingers being disposed angularly with relation to each other, said arms being adapted to be bent transversely upon themselves and extending upwardly.
5. A blank having a set of spaced segmental openings stamped therefrom and radial arms extending inwardly between the segmental openings, said arms being permanently bent upwardly in an upstanding inclined position, said blank being provided with a pair of radial slits at the outer end of each upstanding inclined arm, said arm being bent transversely adjacent the inner ends of said slits, whereby the portion of the arm between the slits is adapted to yield laterally when the arm is forced outwardly.
6. A bottle holder comprising a plate having a bottle receiving opening and a plurality of upstanding arms adjacent such opening, each arm being provided at its upper end with a reduced finger having its free end bent inwardly, said plate being provided adjacent the base of each arm with radial slits extending outwardly therefrom.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
LOTTIE L. ARMSTRONG.
