'IIIIIII Patented May 27, 1930 SAMUEL JOSEPH JONES, o jEEoNx, NEW YORK SAFETY HOLDING DEVICE Application filed August 8, 1923. Serial No. 298,365.

The invention relates to the use of metal clamps attached to a handle made of wood or metal, or both, for the purpose of holding articles used in the performance of mechanical work or for household use, and to prevent accident where a ladder or a scaffold would normally be used by doing away with the use of the ladder or the scafiold in many places.

One form of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which F igure 1 is a vertical plan view of the device complete; Figure 2, a plan view of the device viewed from the right of Figure 1 and showing certain of the parts in section; Fig ure 3, plan and side views of the adjustable clamp 10, interchangeable with clamp 3, Figures 1 and 2, to be used for holding light articles or tools that have a tapered shank or grip; Figure 4, side and plan views of ring clamp 2, Figures 1 and 2; and Figure 5, side and plan views of adjustable clamp 11, interchangeable with clamp 3, Figures 1 and 2, when heavy tools or other articles are used.

The inside or grip surface 9, of interchangeable clamps 10, Figure 3, and 11, Figure 5, is made straight or tapered to suit the article or tool to be used.

The ring clamp 2 is made to fit on the end of handle 1, and fastened in vplace with bolt 7 The adjustable clamp 3, Figures 1 and 2, is bolted to ring clamp 2, as shown in section, Figure 2.

When the article or tool to be used is placed F in the adjustable clamp 3, and set at the required angle and the nuts on bolts 6 and 7,

Figures 1 and 2, are screwed tight, the holder is ready for use. To change the angle of clamp 3, Figures 1 and 2, loosen the nut on bolt 6, set the clamp at the required angle and tighten the nut again.

When heavy articles or tools are to be used in the holder, clamp 11, Figure 5, is used in place of clamp 3, Figures 1 and 2, or clamp so 10, Figure 3. Clamp 11, is made for straight or tapered shank or grip, either one to be used when required. The bolt 8, Figure 5, is to give additional strength to the grip on the tool or other article used in the holder.

The handle 1, Figures 1 and 2, is made of wood or metalor both wood and metal, in lengths suitable to the reqirements of the work in which the device is to be used. The position of the article or tool used may be reversed in the adjustable clamps or when a tapered tool clamp is used the clamp itself, if desired, may be secured to the ring clamp 2 in reversed position. In this manner the tool may be applied to the work either above or below the end of the handle.

It will be seen from the drawing that the ring clamp 2 comprises normally spaced laterally extending flanges, each of which is formed with a portion that projects longitudinally a slight distance beyond the body of the ring clamp 2 and beyond the end of the handle 1. By this arrangement the tool carried by the tool clamp 3 may be set at right angles to the handle and in such position will clear the outer end of the handle. It will also be noted that the tool clamp 3 comprises two opposed clamping members which are'secured by the bolt 6 to opposite sides respectively of the projecting portions of the flanges of the ring clamp 2. The bolt 6 not only assists the bolt 7 in securing the ring clamp 2 to the handle but secures the tool clamp in its adjusted position and also serves to clamp the tool in the tool clamp 3. By forming the tool clamp of opposite members connected to the ring clamp as shown, a relatively wide range of adjustment is permitted not only with respect to the angular position of the ring clamp but also with rev spect to the range of adjustment forhold- Sb ing tools of different sizes.

I am aware that prior to my invention clamps have been made of many kinds of material and used in many combinations. I therefore do not claim such a combination broadly; but I claim- 1. In a device of the class described a handle, a ring clamp embracing said handle and having outwardly extending flanges formed with bolt receiving openings; a tool clamp secured to said flanges and adjustable to different positions thereon and a single bolt extending through said flanges and tool clamp, said bolt serving to clamp a tool'in said tool clamp and to secure said tool clamp in adi'usted position on said ring clamp.

2. n a device of the class described, a handle, a ring clamp embracing said handle 5 and having normally spaced, laterally extending flanges, an adjustable tool clamp formed of opposed clamping members, a bolt engaging said members adjacent said handle for securing said members respectively to the outer sides of said flanges, said bolt serving to clamp said handle in said ring clamp to secure said tool clamp in its adjusted position and to clamp a tool in said tool vclam SAMUEL JOSEPH J ONE
