ICE HOLDER.
Application filed November 8, 1926. Serial No. 147,004.
My invention relates to improvements in ice holders, and more particularly those that are designed to be attached to the running boards of automobiles, and it consists in the combinations, constructions, and arrangements herein described and claimed.
Ice holders which are designed to be clamped to runnin boards of automobiles for the purpose 0 holding ice have been used heretofore. Certain of these ice holders however have objections which render them inadequate for the purpose.
An object of my invention is to provide an improved ice holder which will not injure the feet or shoes if accidentally stepped on.
A further object of my invention is to provide a device of the type described having a clamping mechanism which is adapted to fit into the groove on the under side of the running board of Ford carsin such a manner as to permit the automatic positioning of the screw to hold the device rigidly.
A further object of my invention is to provide a device which may be clamped at the outer portion of the running board so that it is less apt to be stepped on.
Other objects and advantages will appearin the following specification, and the novel features of the invention will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming part of this application, in which Figure 1 is a side View of the device as applied to the running board, the latter being shown in section,
Figure 2 is a face view of the device,
Fi re 3 is a section along the line 3+3 of Figure 1, and
Figure 4 is a plan view of the device.
In carrying out my invention, I provide a body portion 1 which consists of a fiat plate. At the upper end of the plate is a rightangle bend to provide a portion 2. At each end of the portion 2 are upwardly and outwardly turned ears 3 which are beveled in the manner shown. At the opposite end of the body portion 1 is a portion 4: which is bent at an acute angle with respect to the main body portion 1. The portion 4 is threaded to receive a set screw 5 which, as will be observed, is disposed angularly with respect to the body portion 1.
From the foregoing description of the various parts of the device, the operation thereof may be readily understood. In Figure 1, I have shown a portion of a running board 6 of a Ford car. The outer edge of the running board has a head or ridge 7 which is formed by stamping the plate6 so as to provide a groove on the under side, the outer portion of the running board bein bent downwardly and then back upon itsel as shown in the drawing.
In applying the device, the top portion 2 is passed over the bead and the body por-' tion 1 is brought up against the outer portion of the running board. The screw 8 then is tightened so as to enter the groove 'Ttunderneath the ridge or bead 7. This holds the device securely and the groove prevents lateral movement in addition to the frictlonal force exerted by the set screw,
so that the device is securely clamped in posltion.
When ice is placed on the device, the weight of the latter will cause the prongs or ears 3 to bite into the ice. In fact, the ice will settle down so that even the side portions of the top 2 will tend further to prevent movement. The ice may then be transported without any danger of its shifting and falling off of the running board.
While the device is designed primarily for Ford cars, it may of course be used for running boards of other cars, since the pressure exerted by the set screw will be sufficient to clamp it securely.
The device, it will be observed, is fastened near the edge of the running board,
and is not liable to be stepped on as are those which have prongs disposed farther back on the running board. Furthermore, the inclination of the set screw tends to draw the clamp toward the board and thereby retain the holder firmly against the outer edge of the board.
I claim: v
The combination with a running board having a ridge on its upper face contiguous of Said body portion inclined at an acute angle with respect to said hotly portion and disposed underneath the running board, and 10 a set screw carried by said extension and arranged to enter said groove.
