INVENTOR WITNESS- Toallwhma itmay concern:
UNITED STATES "Janna agqnnwwpos, ornmivna, coton'ano.
Application filed. ApriLB, 1920. Serial Resume.
H Be it known that I, :ANNA. C. GREEN- woon, a citizen-of the I lnited :States, residing at Denver, State of Colorado, have ,in-
vented certain new and useful Improvements in HandyBookand Tray Stands,-of which the followingis the specification.
The first objectof the inventionis to provide a means for conveniently holding a book, which because of its design may easily book stand into a tray,
be nged from a stand crtable. i l i i A further object of the invention is to provide means for the proper adjustment of its parts, so that the same parts ma be conveniently arranged to hold a book or a person while lying down or may be readily changed to another convenient position.
A further object of the invention is to provide means for holding a tray in any convenient position, for a person sitting up in bed, or the same parts may be changed and suitabl arranged to hold a copy for a person W ile their hands are engaged in some other manner.
In the accompan i drawings, Figure 1 and Fig. 2, show the ont and side elevations of the handy stand arranged for holding a book. Fig. 3, shows a detailed section of the swiveled head, and Fig. 4, shows a side elevation which shows the arrangement of parts when the stand as used to holda tray. Fig. 5 shows the detail of the ball and socket nut, shown by drawing on Sheet #2.
In the description the parts are indicated by numerals. The base (1), has a weighted foot with a tubular upright body at the upper end of which is a screw head (2), from which the upper neck (5) projects. This upper neck may be turned, raised or lowered and when properly adj usted, it ma be fastened in position by a hand screw. 11 the side of the main base is hinged side table (3), which may be raised as shown in Fig. 2 or lowered to osition shown in F' 4. The upper neck 5) projects upwar and outward from the main base (1). At the outer end of this neck (5) is fastened a fixed T-head (8). In this T, a swiveled head bolt (12) turns to any desired position about a vertical axis. rom the upper end of the swivel head rises a lamp neck (6) which projects outward to a roper position for an electric 1am (7).
he lamp may be turned to any esired A DY nook AND TRAY STAND.

position, about a vertical axis. Just below the fixed T- head (8) and around the swivel l1ead.bolt.(12) is a spring washer (9), which allows a slight compression between the :parts to hold them in .a positive position without unduestress. Just below the spring washer (9), and (turning on the swivel head 1:..(12) 1s the swivelhead 1T (10),I iii-the side ofwhich is a threaded stud on which :may be screwed a hand nut (11%),which when turned secures theball and socket? nut 13,;which is attached to the book stand (1 1.).
This position is shown in Fig. 2. The lower end of the swivel bolt (12) is threaded also, on which turns the hand nut (11), which when turned up holds the swivel headand lamp bracket into any desired position. Below the nut (11) is sufficient room on the threaded part of swivel bolt (12), to screw on the ball and socket nut (13), which is attached to the stand (14), when the stand is used as a tray stand or table as shown in Fig. 4. In this position, the spring clamps (15) hang downward and rest on the bed or on any other support. This makes an additional support for the table. In Fig. 2, when the stand (14:) is used to hold a book, the spring clamps (15) are slid alon the rod (16). This rod is secured to the Iower part of the stand (14). The upper part of the two spring clamps (15) are notched so as to properly fit over the upper edge of the stand and properly hold the springs in such a position to hold the different thicknesses of the books. The electric wires (17) are passed up from the base through the tubes 1, 5, 8, 12 and 6 to the electric socket (7) and these wires are properly insulated.
On Sheet.#2 the drawing shows Fig. 5 a detail of the ball and socket nut (1.3), which is made up of three parts, a spherical nut (13), which ma be screwed onto either the stud on swivel head T (10), or onto the lower end of swivel bolt (12). This nut is held by the socket (13), which is fastened to the table by bolts. A hand set screw (13), is inside of socket, to secure and keep the spherical nut from turning when set in desired position.
In Figs. 1 to 5 inclusive and in this de scription, it is clearly shown the combination and design of all the parts to form this handy book and tra stand and because of this design, the boo may be conveniently held in any position; this position may be easily changed, raised or lowered or turned desired rest.
Therefore because of the handy usefulness of this nvention, 1 make the following claims:
1. The combination a set for the purpose described of a weighted foot, aifixed tubular upright body with hand set screw in top of tubular body, as means of holding a telescoping upper tubular neck into position, a side hinged table and bracket on upright body; an outer end fixed T-head on tubular neck, as means for holding a swivel head belt, a lamp neck and electric fixture attached to upper end of swivel bolt, as means for holding an adjustable light, a spring washer, interposed on swivel bolt to separate swivel T and T-head; a swivel T with studs on'side and bottom, to which may be screwed a ball nut, which fits into joint or socket attached to table; a hand nut also on studs to fasten parts to position, parts as stated as a means of adjusting table to different positions and attached to table a rod on which slides notched spring clamps, forming means for holding a book, or means for supporting table.
2. In a combination set to handily hold a book or form a table, with a base, upright tubular body, a hand set screw to hold an upper tubular neck in a lower tubular upright body and a T-head attached to tubular neck, with swivel T, swivel bolt, studs, hand nuts, ball and socket joints to form an adjustable means for holding a table, with sliding notched spring clamps for holding a book, on said table.
In testimony whereof, I affix my signature.
MRS. A. G. GREENWOOD.
