Description

Patented Mar. 18, 1930 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE MAX KRISCHER, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO KRISCHERS MANUFAC- TUBING COMPANY, OF BROOKLYN', NEW YORK, A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK Application filed April 17,V

This invention relates to a holder for recelvmg receptacles, such as glass bottles and the like, which is provided with means by y the invention is useful for many purposes, sec

but is particularly adapted to receive an infants nursing bottle, the securing means making it possible to attach the holder to a part of the crib or carriage, so that the bottle cannot be dropped and broken.

The new holder may be made in varying sizes in accordance with the different receptacles with which it may be used, but as nursing bottles are somewhat standardized in dimensions and shape, a single size of holder of my improved type will accommodate most nursing bottles, the holder being constructed to allow for substantial variation in size while grasping the bottle firmly.

For this purpose, I make the holder in the form of a sleeve of flexible material, such as leather, fabric, etc., and I include as a section of the sleeve a strip of resilient material, such as rubber webbing, which completes the sleeve. The circumference of the sleeve is purposely made slightly less than that of the average bottle but the resilient strip permits the sleeve to be expanded and slipped overl the end of the bottle. The sleeve then grips the bott-le firmly over an extended area and cannot be accidentally detached therefrom. Preferably the main body of the sleeve is made of leather, with vthe rough side innermost, this surface engaging the surface of the bottle and holding it more tightly than if the sleeve were made of cloth.

Attached to the sleeve in any suitable manner is one end of a chain of convenient length and on its other end, the chain carries attaching means which may conveniently be a snap hook or the like by which the chain may be secured to a part of the crib or carriage.

For a better understanding of the invention reference may be made to the attached drawing in which,

Fig. 1 is a view of the holder with its accessory parts in place on a nursing bottle and,

RECEPTACLE HOLDER AND GUARD 192s. serial No. 270,603.

Fig. 2 is al view of the holder alone in perspective to illustrate the construction.

Referring to the drawings, the holder is shown at 10 in the form of a substantially cylindrical sleeve in two sections united in a direction axially of the sleeve. The major tion 11 is formed of a piece of flexible material preferably of leather, though certain textile materials are also suitable. Attached between the ends of this piece of leather is the section 12, which is of resilient material, such as rubber webbing or elastic, the resilient section being of the same width as the nonresilient section. Preferably the two sections are secured together by rows of stitching 13 and 111, the end edges of the sections being folded inwardly before being secured together to give the holder an improvedappearance and to form strips, or ribs 15 and 16 of increased thickness.

The holder sleeve thus constructed may be slipped over the end of the bottle 17 and centered between the ends of the latter so that the greatest area of the inner face of the sleeve will be in contact with the face of the bottle. Due to the sleeve having a smaller circumference than the bottle, the resilient section of the sleeve is stretched to a greater or less extent when the sleeve is in place on the bottle, and as the resilient fabric used is quite strong, it causes the sleeve to grip the bottle very firmly so that the sleeve can be removed only with some effort and by intention.

Secured to the non-resilient section 11 of the same material secured to the section in any suitable manner as by stitching or by small rivets or staples 19. This loop passes through a ring 2O on one end of a chain' 21, the other end of the Chain carrying attach-y ing means such as a snap hook 22. This hook provides a convenient means for attaching the ho'lder to any fixed object.

With a holder of this construction, the

485 the sleeve midway of its length is a lo'op 18 of bottle may be removed and replaced without difficulty, but when in place is grasped firmly and cannot be accidentally detached. The `holder with its chain is particularly useful in connection with nursing bottles, as a baby` Cil cannot hold a full bottle securely and is likely to let the bottle slip from its grasp, so thatl the bottle falls to the floor and is broken. Such accidents are avoided by the use of the new holder and at the saine time normal use of t-hebottles isnot interfered with and it may be readily removed and pnt back again in the holder. The holder is ot simple, inexpensive, and durable construction and will save many times its cost in preventing t-he accidental breakage of bottles.

I claimt- 1. A. receptacle holder comprising a permanently closed cylindrical sleeve to receive and encase the receptacle, this sleeve being made up ot a pair of flexible sections extending lengl iivise or the sleeve and together completing it cylindrically, one of these sections beine' distendable, and means attached to the non-resilient section for attaching 'the sleeve to a lixed object.

2. A receptacle holder comprising a permanently closed cylindrical sleeve to receive and encase the receptacle, this sleeve being made up of a flexible section and a flexible resilient section, each section extending from end to end of the sleeve and the sections being connected end to end to complete the sleeve, means for attaching the holder to a fixed object, and a flexible connection between the means and the sleeve.

3. A receptacle holder comprising a sleeve made up of a section of leather and a section oit resilient material, eachsection extending from end to end of4 the sleeve the sections being connected end to end to give the sleeve a closed cylindrical shape, a Jfastening device and a flexible connection between said device and the leather section.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
