Application filed March 22, 1927 Serial No 177,376.
This invention is a holder intended more particularly for supporting pocket flashlights upon an automobile in such position that the batteryof the flashlight will not be jolted. into the circuit-closing position and thereby imnecessarily consumed. At present, it is a very general practice to carry flashlights in the pockets of automobile doors or in like receptacles provided upon parts of the vehicle, and the vibration of the vehicle during travel jolts the circuit-closing elements of the flashlight into operative posi tion so that the life of the battery'is shortened, and it is, therefore, a specific object of the present invention to provide a simple, in-
expensive and eflicient device whereby a flash light may be carried in a horizontal position at such a point that it will not be affected by vibration of the vehicle body. A device constructed in accordance with the present invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing and will be hereinafter fully de scribed, the novel features being particular- 1y. pointed out in the appended claim.
In the drawing: 7 Figure l is a perspective view of my improved holder in operative position;
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same, and Fig. 3 is a detail perspective.
indicates a portion of the dash or the instrument board of a vehicle to which the holder is secured. The holder comprises a base member 2 which may be constructed of sheet metal and is provided with suitable openings through which fastening screws, indicated at 3, may be inserted into the part to which the device is to be attached. The ends of the,
- the upper edge ofeach side arm 4 which form stops, as will presently more fully appear.
From what has been said, it will be seen that normally the upper clamping arms are drawn forwardly and downwardly by the springs and the tongues 14 rest against the forward stop lugs 7. lVhen the flashlight is to be placed in the holder, it is merely pushed between the guides 6 and 12 and will thereby force the upper clamping arms into the position shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2, so that the fiashlightmay ride into the seats 5 to rest therein. The springs Will then at once return the upper clamping arms into the position shown in full lines in Figs. 1 and 2 so that they will extend over the light and prevent it from being jolted out of the seats. It
will be noted that the device is exceedingly.
simple in construction and may be produced at a'low cost and will operateeliiciently for the purpose for which it is primarilv designed.
Having thus described the invention, I claim: y
A holder comprising a pair of horizontally spaced supporting arms having articlereceiving recesses formed in their upper edges and having their forward ends inclined 1 between the stop lugs on the respectively adjacent supporting arm whereby to limit the movement of the clamping arms in either direction and retractile springs attached to the supporting arms and the clamping arms pivoted respectively thereto in advance of the pivotal point and in rear of the recesses in the supporting arms. I
s In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
