Application filed April 15, 1922. Serial No. 558,233.

To all wlwm it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Roman F. WEBBER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Imrovements in Kit-Holding Brackets; and l do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to kit holding brackets and particularly to one suitable for holdin a substantially cylindrical first aid kit. e object of the present invention is to provide a simple and eflicient bracket that can be stam ed from sheet metal and turned from stan ard gage wire and which will securely hold a first aid kit in position, and also prevent unauthorized removal of the kit from the bracket.

In the drawings,-

Figure 1 is a vertical section through a preferred form of my device, showing the kit in dotted lines.

Figure 2 is a front elevation.

Figure 3 is a top plan view.

Figure 4 is a sectional view through clamping strip 40.

The back 10 preferably consists of a single piece of sheet metal having side flanges 11 and 12 and being perforated as at 14 to. receive the screws or other fastenings 16 to secure the device to a wall.

The back is struck up as at 17 and 18 to form transverse lugs which embrace and secure the free ends 20 of the kit holding springs. These springs, as best shown in Fig. 2, are each bent to lie parallel to the side flanges 11 and 12 and are held in such position by the longitudinal lugs 22. After passing the edge 23 of the back the springs are curved upward and outward as at 24 and are then brought down to form the part 25 which engages the octagonal capof the kit and the central portion of the spring is bent to form an upturned lip as shown at 26. With the back or base firmly secured against a wall the lower end of the kit is placed within the portion 25 in the lower spring and the kit is brought into engagement with the lip 26 of the spring which causes the portion 24 to flex, allowing the k1t to enter the portion 25 of the upper spring where it is securely held, but from which position it may readily be removed at any time in absence of the locking means.

These locking means consist generally of two strips 30 and 31 each having a rectangular central opening 32 to form an eye by means of which the strips may be secured to the struck-up lugs 34 in approximately the center of the base. These lugs 34 are each bent to form ap roximately three-quarters of a cylinder and the ends of the two lugs are positioned uite close together so that the strips 30 an 31 may not be withdrawn from the hooks or In s 34 without being turned at an angle 0 ap roximately 45 to theback. One of these ugs, such as 30, is bent at its free end to form an ear 35 perforated as at 36, this ear passing through a transverse slot 37 on the longer strip 31 and then receiving a lock of any preferred type. The length of these strlps is such that the strips are taut when the ear 35 is in re istry with the slot 37. By virtue of the s ape of the lugs 34, as best shown in Figure 3, it is not possible to remove the strips from the back without first removing the look from the opening 36. If desired a metal label such as 40 may be slipped over the longer strip 31 and preferably bears the trade mark of the kit.

What I claim is:

1. A kit holding bracket consisting of a back of sheet metal, a pair of springs secured to the sheet metal back by lugs struckup in said back and a plurality of strips detachably secured to said back when said strips are separated but non-removable from salig back when said strips are looked over a 't.

2. A back for a kit holding bracket consisting of a single piece of sheet metal having struck-up hooks at approximately the center thereof for securing locking strips and having a strucklug on either side of said hooks for pivota y securing kit holding springs to said back, and a plurality of additional lugs for securing said springs in desired position on said back.

3. In a kit holding bracket, a flanged.

sheet metal book having a plurality of longiflanges by said longitudinal lugs, o air of Y tudinal struck-up in s 1n proximity to hooks each forming the major pert o a cireach end thereof, a p umlity of transverse cle in side View, and a pair of strips enlo struck-up lugs, a pair of'one-piece kit holdgaging said hooks and adapted to be locked ing Wire springs each having its ends housed together to prevent unauthorized removal in one of said transverse lugs and havin of said kit from said s i'in 4 its sides held in engagement with sei RUL llN F. WEBBER.
