noon HANDLE.
Application filed November 14, 1924 Serial No. 749,969.
To all 10. 10121. it may 0001002 91.:
Be it known that I, ARTHUR L. RAGE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts,have invented new and useful Improvements in Door Handles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to door handles and is particularly designed to be used in connection with the outside door handles of hotel rooms and the like.
One object of the invention is to provide an extremely simple and inexpensive device in combination with a door handle whereby telephone or other messages, letters, cards, etc. may be brought tothe attention of the hotel guest without fail. V
Heretotore in large hotels when a guest is out of his room and is unable to be located, such messages. letters, cards, etc., are slipped under his door and the guest on returning to his room often fails to notice hem. With my device, however, such failure to notice these messages, etc., would be impossible, as they would be brought immediately to his attention on gripping the door handle.
has also been the practice to provide a (lip or other means on the panel 01 the door to hold such messages, but this requires an additional device to be attached to the door. li Iv invention does not require any such additional appurtenance, but is constructed as a self contained element of the door handle.
With the above and further objects and advantages in view as will hereinafter appear. the invention will be described in connection with the accompanying drawings and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a side view showing my invention; and
Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same.
Referring to the drawings, 1 represents a door handle of the usual type having a the outer surface of the handle.
shank 2 in which the shaft of the door handle is secured.
Preferably, in the upper hemispherical section of the handle 1 there is provided an annular slot 3 which preferably extends a distance almost equal to the transverse diameter of the handle 1 as shown in Fig.
2. This slot 3 is of a width sufiicient to hold a number of cards, slips of paper, letters, etc.. and is preferably of a depth slightly less than the vertical diameter of the holder.
The bottom and sides of the slot are lined with a section 4 whiclrfits closely within the slot 3 and whose edges are contiguous with This section t is preferably secured in the slot by means of solder or other similar means, but if desired, the walls of the slots may be integral with the door handle.
Located within the slot is a spring clip 5 which is preferably secured at one end by the screw 6 to one side wall of the slot and whose free end bears against the opposite wall thereof as clearly shown in Fig. 1.
There is thus provided a door handle having means embodied therewithin whereby letters, slips of paper, cards, etc., may be inserted and retained. It will be observed 7 that sucha device may be easily and inexpensively constructed and that a novel means has been devised for overcoming the various disadvantages attendant upon the delivery of messages, etc., in large hotels.
hat I claim is:
A door handle structure comprising an enlarged handle portion having a peripheral recess extending transversely through substantially one half of such portion and adapted to hold envelopes, message papers and the like in such a position that one using the door handle for its normal purpose literally has the papers and the like placed in his hand.
In testimon whereof I have affixed my signature.
ARTHUR L. RACE.
