HOLDER FOR ROLLED MATERIAL. v

Application led March 31, 1925.. Serial No. 19,718.

T0 a-ZZ 'whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, PHILIP LnviNE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the borough of Brooklyn, county of Queens, city and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Holders for Rolled Material7 of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in devices suoli as are used to hold rolled material in position to permit its easy unrolling and handling. The invention is particularly adapted to carry rolls or bolts of textile or other fabrics and hold them in position for easy manipulation. Usually devices of this kind are cumbersome, and for carrying fabric such as paper or textile fabrics, such holders are usually horizontally arranged over a counter, table, or the like, and take up a good deal of room. Moreover it is not generally easy to put a bolt or roll of material in place on such holders. My invention is intended to overcome these diiiiculties and produce. a structure which is simpler and cheaper than the ordinary holders and which is also far more convenient and easier of application. My invention in its preferred form comprises a vertical spindle on which a bolt or roll of material is supported, and means for supporting the spindle on a table, bench or the like, and when a roll or bolt is applied to the spindle, it will occupy but little space and can be easily unrolled for measuring, cutting, or other purposes. I prefer to make the spindle easily detachable from its support .so that it may be inserted in a bolt or roll and then easily replaced with the bolt in position for'use. v

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, in which similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure l is a broken perspective view showing my improved device in position on a bench and with a bolt of cloth thereon, and

Figure 2 is an enlarged detailsectional view showing the structure more completely.

In carrying out my invention I use a bracket 10 which is preferably U shaped and which can be easily .slipped on over the edge of a member 11 which represents the top of a table, bench, counter, or the like,

and the bracket can be clamped in lace by a thumb screw 12 on the under'si e. If desired screws 13 may be inserted through corresponding holes in the top member of the bracket and screwed into the counter to give the bracket additional stiffness. The spindle 14 whichr carries the fabric in position for use, extends through corresponding holes in the upper and lower members of the bracket 10 and through a hole 15 in the member 11. This spindle 14 is provided with a'guard 16 in its lower end which prefcrably yhas a hub 17 attached to the member 14, although obviously it might be adjustable thereon, and the guard 16 can be of -any desired shape, the only essential thing being that it must be long enough to span the opening` through the bolt or fabric 18 and hold the fabric somewhat elevated so that its lower edge cannot come into contact with the member 11.

The bolts of fabric 18 whether ofwtextil'e. or paper, usually have an opening in thev middle through which the spindle 14 can extend, and many of them will have an end piece 19 with a hole in the center which can be placed over the spindle 14. If there is lno hole in the member 19, one can be easily made, and if the bolt does not have the member 19 in it, it always has `an opening large enough for the insertion of the spindle .Vhen the device is to be used, the spindle 14 with its guard 16 is lifted from the bracket and the upper part thrust through a bolt 18 of material to be carried, and the spindle is then replaced on Vits support as shown in Figure 1, after which the fabric can be unrolled for measurement, cutting, or for other purposes as desired, and it is always convenient to use and occupies little space on the bench, counter, or table to which it is applied.

I claim A structure of the kind described. comprising a generally U shaped bracket adapted for horizontal attachment to a support, and a detachable vertical spindle eX- tending through both arms of the bracket, said spindle having a transverse roll .supporting guard at its lower portion.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification this 21st day of March, 1925.

PHILIP LEVINE,
