UNITED STATES SVERRE HILLAND, NEW YORK, N. Y.

Application filed May 14,
Heretofore when rivets have been heated to redness or hotter for the purposes of being placed ina hole in the frame-work of a building which s being erected, it has been common to throw the rivet to a man who catches it in a bucket and thereafter uses a pair of tongs to grab the hotrivet and place it in a hole sothatit can be riveted in the conventional manner. He has to place the bucket on the floor or beam where he stands while he helps get the rivet in place and secure the same. A bucket such as is ordinarily used is not advantageous because it is clumsy to handle, a rivet caught in it may bound out, the tongs used for capturing the rivet in the bucket are not directed to the rivet by the walls of the pail and when the pail is put on a beam or floor it is apt to roll and fall.
The object of my invention is to provide a rivet catching device which is made of sheet metal and given a shape somewhat similar to that of a truncated cone, flattened at the apex, as indicated in the accompanying drawings, and this is provided with a reinforce, so that it will be sufliciently strong, and a handle by which it may be easily manipulated. This catcher, when held in the hand of a mechanic, can be put in any desired position so as to easily catch a rivet when thrown. Its converging walls prevent the rivet from bounding out and guide the tongs of the person capturing the rivet just where they belong and when this catcher is discarded and placed on the floor or beam it will not roll. Its pointed end may be placed against the wind to keep wind from blowing it. When there is no wind, it may be stood on its open end and in any event it may easily be placed so that the handle can be quickly reached so that a more reliable and easier manipulated rivet catcher is formed. by my invention, one embodiment of which is hereinafter more particularly set forth.
For a more detailed description of my invention, reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved rivet catcher.
Figure 2 is a front elevation of the same.
Figure 3 is a plan view.
Figure 4 is a sectional view, taken on the line H of Figure 3, looking in the direction of the arrows.
1927.. Serial No. 191,519.
Figure 5 is a diagrammatic sectional view which shows the bottom oined.
Throughout the various vlews of the drawings, similar reference characters designate similar parts. k
,My improved rivet catcher 1 has a sheet metal body 2, a reinforce 3, a handle i and screws or rivets 5 which secure the handle to the body. I
The body 2 has a bead 6. at its open end and the body is shaped, as above stated, so as to resemble a cone, but be different there from because its bottom is an elongated surface and not a point, as indicated. This body, near the handle, has a seam 7 by which the ends of the blank are united.
The reinforce 3 has a corresponding shape with its seam 8 on the side opposite from the seam 7 and this reinforce extends up to the top of the body 2 under the handle, but
not elsewhere, the general shape being, substantially as indicated. The bottom of the reinforce and the bodyare folded in together as shown in Figure 5 where one end 9 of the body 2 stops abruptly. The corresponding end of the reinforce 3 on the same side extends laterally at 10 and then downwardly posite to the parts shown at the left of Figure 5. The parts 10, 11, 12 and 13 are flattened together and so interlock and firmly held when the rivet catcher is assembled.
The handle is given a. concave convex curvature in cross section froinrivet 5 to rivet 5, as nearly as may be, so that the handle can be held with convenience by the operator and he can place the catcher with great ease and exactness anywhere within his reach. The concave curvature is preferably, outwardly because it is easier to grasp the handle when made this way.
. In view of the foregoing, it is obvious that the rivet catcher here described has the advantages set forth above.
While I have shown and described one embodiment of my invention, it is also obvious that it is not restricted thereto, but that it is broad enough to cover all structures that come within the scope of the anneXed claims.
, Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:
1. A rivet catcher with converging sides, a
and nearly parallel to one converg'ihg ifiew 2. A rivet catcher with a handle secured to one of two converging sides,abottonnthe bottom and converging sides beingsoproportioned with respect'to eachother 'thit a rivet when thrown into'the o'pen'end otthe device, will be directed to antlheld in a positionnearly par'zillel to'thebotto'm 1161 nearly parallel to one converging side,
