LID-SUPPORTER.
Sp ific n of letters n Patcntcd Sept. 13, 192i.
Application filed January 3, 1921. sci-mi No. 424,499.
To 117 Z whom it may eon ccrn 1 Be it known that I, RAYMOND T. limit a citizen of the United States. residing at Chicago, in the countyof Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Lid-Su porters, of which the followilu is a speci cation.
This invention relates to improvements in lid supporters, particularly adapted, tlmugh not necessarily limited in its use with the lid or cover of sound reproducing machine cabinets, and one of the ob ects or:
the invention is to provide an improved de vice of this character which will support or maintain the lid or cover. at any degree of elevation or angle and which will be auto- .matic in operation, but which will yield under pressure to permit the cover or lid to be raised or lowered at will.
in the features of novelty in substantially the construction, combination and arrangement of theseveral parts, hereinafter more fully (lflSfiZIlbGCl and claimed and shown in the accompanying drawing illustrating this .inventum and inwh1chthe parts in another position.
Fig. 3 is a. detail sectional view on line a e, Fig. 2 i
Reterring more particularly to the drawing the numeral 1E0. designates a cabinet havingthe usual lid 11 hinged thereto as at 12.
Connected with the cabinet in any suitable manner is a base 13;. of any desired size and configuration. pivotally connected as at 15,.by one end, to the base 13, and pivotally connected to the othear' end of the element 14, as at 16, and
A lever like element 14,
the element lih'vvill both be moved about their respective pivots.
Slidably mounted upon the element 14, is another element 20, which is provided with an elongated slot 21. in its body. The element 14, is provided with a threaded opening 22. shown more clearly in Fig. 3, adapted to receive the end of a screw or bolt 23. which latter passes through a slot- 21. in the element 20. so that the head 24, will operate upon the elemei'it 20, to cause a binding action between the element 20. and thc element 14C. If desired a washer 25, and a locking device 26, may be interposed be tween the head 24; of the bolt 23, and the element 20. i y
This element 20, is provided with depending: flanges or ears 27, which overhang the edges of the lever like element 14. so as to permit the element 20, to be freely adjusted upon the elemcntli. when the bolt 23, is
loosened and will cooperate with the sides of the element 14. to prevent a rotary or pivotal movement in a lateral direction being; imparted to the element 20, when a strain is exerted upon the element.
A spring 28, is anchored or connected at one of its ends 29. with the base 13, and is connected at its other end 30. preferablv to an ear or projection 31, on the element 20, and n'cferably through the mediuino't an intermediate link 32. one end of which link isconnectcd with a spring and the other end with the element 20.
With this improved construction it will be manifest that the device being of a unitary construction it may be readily placed. into a cabinet in any desired position and by adjusting the element 20. with reference to the element 14, the tension of the spring- 28, may be varied. V The clement 20, is adapted to be reversed with respect to the element 14. that is to say the bolt 23, may be removed and the element 20. turned end for end on the element 14,. that instead oi. having the projection or point to which the end of the spring 28. is secured to the element 20, adjacent the pivot 16, of the element 14, and link 17, the
obvious that many changes may be made in the details of construction, within the scope of the 'claims,-withont departing from the {spirit of this invention.
