PENCIL HOLDER.
Application filed'May 21, 1923. Serial No. 640,625.
To all whom t 'may concern.'
Be it known that l, Emol; O. HAMMER- nno, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Pencil Holders, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
An object of my invention is to provide a simple pencil holder that is adapted to lock the pencil in the pocket of the wearer, whereby the device has to be manually operated before the pencil can be removed from the pocket.
A further object of my invention is to provide a device of the type described that is constructed from one piece of metal, thereby making the device inexpensive to manufacture.
A further object of my invention is to provide a device of the type described which is simple in construction, and which may be removably secured to any standard pencil or pen.
Other objects and advantages will appear in the following speciiication, and the novel features of the invention will be particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings forming part of this application, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device as shown operatively applied to a pencl,
Figure 2 is an enlarged side elevation of the device, and
Figure 3 is an enlarged front elevation of the device.
In carrying out my invention I provide a pencil holder that is constructed from a single piece of material. The clip has a body portion l that is adapted to lie against the side of the pencil, this portion being held in adjusted position by clips 2 that rcsiliently engage with the pencil.
The portion of the clip is bent at 3, back over the body portion, and provides a resilient lever 4. The lever 4 is adapted to be manually swung into the dotted line position shown in Figure 2, but will instantly swing back into the full line position when released. The end of the body portion l opposite to the bent portion 3 is provided with two cloth gripping prongs 5. It will be noted that the prongs are bent at right angles from the body portion 1 at 6 and they extend through an opening 7 in the lever 4. The prongs are then curved so that the teeth point inwardly toward the outer surface of the lever. The lever 4 is provided with a flat portion 8 that provides a suliicient surface for the thumb or finger of the operator to rest thereon when moving the lever from the full line position to the dotted line position.
FromV the foregoing description of the various parts of the device, the operation thereof may be readily understood. One of the principal advantages in this device lies in the fact that it can be made out of a single piece of material, this material being cut and bent in the manner heretofore described. The prongs 2 are resilient so as to permit the clip to grip any sized pencil.
Vhen securing the pencil to the pocket, the lever 4 is moved into the dotted line positon so as to permit the edge, 9 to be received in the recess formed by the portion of the prongs 5 that extend beyond the lever 4. It will now be observed that the prongs are disposed a slight distance below the edge of the pocket and are pointing inwardly so as to engage with the cloth. The lever 4 is now released, whereupon it will force the cloth against the prongs so as to partially embed the prongs in the cloth. The pencil is nov.7 securely locked in place, and cannot be removed until the lever 4 is again bent into the dotted line position shown in Figure 2. A further object of the device is that the prongs are protected when they are not embedded in the cloth of the pocket. Then the pencil is being used the lever 4 yieldingly bears against the ends of the prongs and thereby prevents the prongs from getting into contact with the hand of the operator or with any other article.
The device is extremely simple in construction and can be manu'lactlued at a slight expense. It should be noted that although l have described a pencil holder that is fashioned from a single piece of material, I do not want to be conned to a single piece pencil holder, since a pencil holder constructed in the manner disclosed but made from a number of pieces instead of one would functionijust as well.
I claim:
A pencil holder made from a single piece of material and comprising a body portion, clips carried by said body portion and adapted to yeldingly grip a pencil, a spring lever having an opening therein, and cloth engaging prongs projected through said opening and turned inwardly to determine the movement of said lever, and the distance to Which the holder can enter the pocket, said prongs being spaced from each other so as to grip the cloth at spaced apart points to prevent said body portion from swinging with respect to the cloth, said prongs being lo adapted to enter the cloth to the depth of the prongs, the recess between the prongs preventing any further movement or' the prongs into the cloth.
