rENCII. CARRIER.
Application filed December 17, 1926. Serial No. 155,494.
My invention relates to a pencil'carrier, and particularly to a carrier chain provided at one end'with appropriate means for attachment to a suitable support, and at its other end for detachabl en a in a encil' y b O 7 intermediate its ends. The object of my in vention is to provide a simple. and iners pensive construction for the purpose, and of such character that at its supporting end the chain may be secured by a slip noose connection, although the noose loop, once adjusted, is automatically locked against reduction in diameter; (2) that the pencil is engaged at the opposite end of the chain at a point.intermediate the ends of the pencil so that the eraser end thereof is not obstructed; and (3)'that when not in use the pencil may be hung'irom the suspending chain in out of the way position by readily detachable engagement with the chain.
addition to these general objects, my invention'also contemplates certain specific features of construction hereinafter described or shown in the 5 which" Fig. 1 is a side elevation of portion of a telephone transmitter illustrating the application of my chain attachment thereto; Fig. 2 is a side view of the chain detached from the transmitter;
Fig. 3 is an enlarged end view of the pencil-holding clip at one end of the chain;
Fig. l is a side elevation thereof illustrating the chain connections;
Fig. 5 is a similar view, but at right angles to Fig. 4;
Fig. 6 is an end view of the slip noose ring at the pencil end of the chain; and
Fig. 7 is a plan of a blank from which the pencil-holding clip is formed.
The present pencil carrier is formed from a length of bead chain 15, which is of the type illustrated in my joint, prior Patent No. 1,548,677, dated August 4, 1925, and comprising, as there shown, hollow balls 16 interconnected by dumb-bell links 17. In order to form adjustable means for attaching the chain at one end to a suitable support, for example to the mouth piece 18 of a telephone transmitter 19, I provide a slip ring 20 struck from sheet metal and proaccompanying drawings, in
vided atone point in its margin with a shank 21 having a head 22 adapted to enter.
and be engaged bya ball 23 at one endof the chain length. The diameter of the opening 2 1 of the ring 20 is such that the latter may be freely. passed over the balls 16 ot' the chain. The thickness of the sheet metal fron which the ring is struck, how-' ever, is less than the spacing between adjacent balls of the chain, consequently, when the ring 20 is engaged between adjacent balls 16, the ring bears against the interccnnectinglinks 17. This engagement is in.
' around a given support without binding, or
without/a take-up which might prove injurious to thesupport. It will-of course be realized that the lock is automatic in its action, and is automatically effected by a slipping of the ring into any of the notches chain. I
The opposite end of the chain has connected thereto a spring'clip 26 adapted to receive the shank of a pencil 27. The clip may be formed from'a blank 28 of spring sheet metal, such as illustrated in Fig. 7. As there shown, a pair of lugs 29 and 30, is formed in the direction of the length of the blank and within its boundaries, the bases of the lugs being juxtaposed, but spaced apart so that when bent from the blank in the same direction they form a pair of spaced parallel lugs. Each of the lugs is punched at 31- to afford an opening of less between adjacent balls in the Therefore, while the length of the diameter than the diameter of one of the balls 16 ofthe chain, so that when the ball at the clip end of the chain is inserted between the chain and the pencil clip 26, which permits the chain to fall away therefrom in any direction.
From another portion of the blank is struck a third-lug 33 which may be angled from the blank in a direction to lie in a plane normal to the axis of the clip. The lug is punched to aliord an opening 34; of
less diameter than the diameter of the ball below the mouth piece 18 of a telephone transmitter by merely entering a link 17 of the chain through the guideway 35 into the opening 34L of the lug). he Weight of the pencil and clip maintains the clip in'engagement with the chain and supports the pencil in out of the Way, but handy, position. To disengage the clip from the chain it is merely necessary to lift the pencil slightly and move the clip away from the suspending reach of the chain, whereupon the link engaged in the aperture 34 of the lug 33 passes freely throughthe opening This opera tion may readily be performed Without assistance by the hand Which'grips the pencil.
It will be observed that the pencil is engaged intermediate its ends. Consequently the eraser 36 commonly found atone end of the pencil, is not obstructed, but is exposed for use.
All oi: the parts are readily manufactured from sheet metal, and readily assembled and applied.
Various modifications in detail Will readilyoccur to those skilled the art, and the accompanying drawings'may consequently be regarded merely as illustrative of my invention, the scope of which is indicated in the appended claims.
I claim v v .7 v
1. A 'pencil-holding clip, comprising means for attaching thereto the end of a chain of the ball-aiid link type, and a catch adapted to establish readily disengageable connection with, the chain intermediate thetionally grip a pencil intermediate its ends,
means integral with the clip for engaging" the end of a chain of the ball-and-link type,
and a catch integral With the clip adapted to freely engage the chain intermediate its ends.
A pencil-holding attachment comprising a chain of the ball-a'nd-link type, means atone end of the chain for form'in'g an adjustable loop for securing the attachment to a suitable support, a vspring clip at the op; posite end otthe chain adapted to slide upon and frictionally grip the shank of a pencil, and means on the clip affording readily detachable engagement with an intermediate portion of thechain.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to thisspecification. p V
