SAICDPPEB HOLDER.

Application mm my 1s,

The, present invention appertains to a sand paper older and has for its prime object to provide a device of this nature on which a piece of sand paper may be placed in order 8 that it'may be most convenient'l utilized.

Another important object of t e invention is to provide a holder of this nature having a very simple and eflicient construction, one which is reliable, inexpensive to manufacture, strong, durable, easy to manipulate, and well adapted? to the purpose for which it is desi ed.

viii the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description progresses, the

novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of arts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawing: Figure 1 is a rspectivb view of the sand paper holder s owing a sheet of paper thereon.

Figure 2 is an end elevation thereof, Figure 3 is a side elevation thereof, and Figure 4 is a fragmentary view of the sand paper holder showing t e parts disassembled.

Referring to the drawing in detail it will be seen that the body of the sand paper holder is substantially U-shaped in end elevation so as to include an intermediate plate 5 and side plates 6 and'7. The free edges of the side plates 6 and 7 are provide with L- shaped flanges 8 including sections 9 which extend inwardly angles to the side plates 6 and 7 and sections 10 which extend parallel" to the plates 6 and 7. The flange 8 on side plate 7 is pro.- vided with a further extension m the form of a lip 11 which extends toward late 6 at rightangles to plate 7. This he y is preferably constructed of spring metal and arebar 12 is associated therewith being constructed preferably so as to be round 1ninvention resides in certain,

cross section and the diameter thereof is substantially equal to the distance between sect1ons 10 of flan es -8. Thus it will be seen a lace of san paper may be wrapped aboutt e body having one end terminating on the section 10 of the flange 8 on side plate 7 while the other end thereof either terminates on the other section or extends through the space between Ii 11 and said last mentloned section 10. The bar 12 is then pushed in between the ends of the sheet of sand paper disposed thus between sections 10 of flanges 8 and, of course, the body will give sufficiently to allow the insertion. of this retainlng bar and the resilient nature of the body will hold the bar in lace thus present-' ing accidental removal 0 the sheet of sand paper from the holder.

It is thought that the construction, advantages, and operation of this device will now be clearly understood without any more detailed description thereof. It is desired,

however to point out that changes in the details of construction, materials, arran ement of parts, may be resorted to without eparting from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new isr A holder of the class described including a U-sha d resilient body terminating in L- shaped a'nges one of which is provided with a lip terminat' a distance from the other fla e in order t at a sheet of sand pa r or the e may be dis sed about the y and the flanges one en extending between the lip and the other flange and means insertable between the flanges to force the sand paper into tight enga ement with the flanges aflil the manner an for the purpose spec- 1 e e A In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
