This invention relates to improvements in paper holders and cutters,-and more particularly to paper holders and cutters of the type commonly found on'barber chairs, or service chairs of a similar nature. The present invention contemplates the provision of a paper holder and cutter adapted to be used in conjunction with the paper passing over the headrest of a service chair, but which, of 1 course, may be used for many other varied purposes as will become apparent to one skilled in the art. I
In the past, devices of this nature have proven more or less objectionable inthat they did not permit of sui'liciently free movement of the paper. In inost instances in such pre viously known device's, undue ditliculty was experienced by operators in releasing the clamping action of the holder, and even when 2 the device was in released position, the passage for the paper was so tortuous that the paper frequently tore within the device, thereby necessitating obviously irksome and costly delays. w Thepresent'invention is designed to ove'r come the above noted defectsand'objections in the provisionof a paper holder and cutter which, when in released position, provides a.
relatively wide and extremely smooth runway for the paper. The invention also vseeks to provide a device of the character described herein, which is easilyand readily manipulated, being provided with means permitting positive manual operation of the same with substantially no dangerof the clamping element slipping from the fingers of the operator and accidentally snapping into holding position while the paper is being run. I
A further object of this invention is toprovide a device of this character wherein the paper may be easily cut, and the trim margin remaining in the device may be readily and easily grasped bythe hand of the user.
l/Vhile some of the more salient features and characteristics of a device embodying this invention have been above pointed out others will become apparent from the following disclosures.
The invention includes these and other feas o tures of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter described and shown in a preferred form in the drawings, as more particularly indicated by the claims. i
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary side elevational 5 View of a service chair equipped with the device embodying principles'of the present invention. V
V igure 2 is a fragmentary elevational view of a portion ofthe service chair with the device mounted thereon.
Figure 3 is a rear elevational view of the deviceitself, taken substantially along line III'III of F igure 2.
Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of the device taken substantially along line IV-IVof Figure 2. -iFigure' 5 is a transverse sectional view taken along'line VV 'of Figure 4.

r In the illustrated embodiment of the present invention there is shown a service chair 1 provided with the usual headrest 2 on which is mounted a container?) adapted to rotatably hold a roll ofpaperor the like. The paper,.of course, passes in a continuous'sheet 4 over the headrest and is engaged at the rear thereof. by a holder and cutter 5 in which the 7 novel features ofthe present invention are ce'nteredj g V The holder-and cutter 5 comprises a housingfipreferably formed from a single stamping, andis provided with aperturedsecuring lugs? Whichare angular-1y disposed relative to the housing andby which the device is mounted to a headrest or the like. Preferably integral with the housing is a top wall 8 which extends forwardly beyond the housing proper and provides a runway for the paper 4 onitsunder surface,-the paper sheet 4 enteringthe housing through a slot 9 in the backthereof, which slot is disposed just below the wall 18. The wall 8 isprovided at its outer edge with an arcuate' or angularly disposed lip 10 for a purpose that will later appear. I
' Pivotally'or rotatably mounted within the housingg in any desired manner, or, as shown, bythe stud screws 11, is'an angular member 12 provided with a substantially flat upper side 13, the inner edge of which is preferably serrated as indicated at it. The stud screws 11 pivotally engage an ear 15 disposed at each end of the member 12. As seen more clearly in Figure 5 these ears are relatively extended nearly the width of the housing. Disposed beneath the flat portion 13 at each end thereof is a coiled spring 16 which abuts the fiat portion 13. adjacent its inner edge and'thebottom of the housing 6, to thereby force the serrated edge 1 1 into substantial abutment with the under side of the top wall 8. Adjacent each of the springs 16, a lug 17 is struck from the housing 6 and bent to a substantially vertical position to aid in retaining the springs in their proper position. To facilitate manual operation of the device, a lever 18 is provided preferably integral with the pivotal member 12.
As seen more clearly in Figure 5, when the serrated edge 1 1 on the pivotal member 12 is normally pushed upwardly by the springs 16, it will clamp the paper sheet 4. against the wall 8 and preventmovement of the paper. As indicated by the dotted lines, when the clamping member 12 is manually actuated by means of the lever 18, the flat portion 13 will pivot downwardly away from the top wall 8, which pivotal motion is limited by the contact of the rear portion of the ears .15 with plete a per t. It will the bottom of the housing 6. The flat portion l3 will, therefore, assume a position just below the longitudinal slot 9 and be substantially parallel with the top wall 8, to comsmooth and free runway for thepabe apparent, therefore, that when. a user of the device desires a new portion of the sheet, he merely squeezes the lip on the top wall 8 and the lever 18 between the thumb and finger, draws the sheet through to the desired length and releases the lever 18 to permit the clamping memberto again engage the paper. any desired size it is merely necessary to pull the strip so desired. the edge of this lip may be sharpened or serrated, but it has been found that the relatively sharp edge remaining when the original stamping is made, is entirely sufficient for this purpose. It is to be especially noted that the lip 10 provides positiveand practical non-slipable gripping means for the hand of a user, when actuating the clamping member through the lever 18. This lip also provides means for quickly engaging the remaining margin of paper left under the top wall 8 after a portion has been cut oil. It is also to be especially noted that when the clamping member is in its released position, the paper is free to run through the entire area of the slot 9 with no obstructions whatever to its passage.
From the foregoing it is apparent that I have provided a novel paper holder and cutter, especially desirable for use with service To cut the paper to chairs, and which provides substantially perfect freedom of motion for the paper, means for positively actuating the device with no danger of the clamping member slipping from the grasp of a user until released, and means for readily gripping the paper. Moreover, the present invention may be formed from sheetrmetal by simply stamping and bending operations, is pleasingin appearance, .easily mouuted for use, and very economical to manufacture.
' I claim'as my invention:
