TRAIN ORDER HOLDER Filed April 2'2, 195o I. Byfwwm l Aiforney Patented Sept. l, 1931 UNITED .STATES TRAIN ORDER HOLDER Application led April 22,
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in train order holders and has for its primary object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a device of this character which is adapted to support the usual order retaining hoop or ring in a position to be conveniently removed by a person in the cab of a locomotive, thus eliminating the necessity of a person standing dangerously close to the oncoming train and also making it unnecessary for the engineer or fireman of the train to climb down the steps of the locomotive in order to get the order.
Another important object of the inven- `tion is to provide a train order holder of the character described embodying a plurality of double ended pairs of resilient clamps adapted to releasably retain an order holder in either end portion.
Further objects of the invention are to provide a train order holder whichwill be simple in construction, strong, durable, eficient in its use and which may be manufactured at low cost.
All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of the invention may become apparent from a study of the following specication, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and wherein n Figure 1 is a view principally in side elevation and partly in section of a train order holder constructed in accordance with this invention.
Figure 2 is a detail sectional view showing the construction and mounting means of one of the beveled clamps.
Figure 3 is a horizontal cross sectional view taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Figure 1 looking in the direction indicated by the arrows.
Referring to the drawings in detail, it will be seen that the reference numeral 1 designates a vertically disposed standard or post which is rigidly mounted in the supporting base 2. Secured in vertically spaced relation in the upper portion of the '1930. semina/146,380. *l
standard or vpost, 1 and extending diagonally upward therefrom .is a pair of arms 3v whichare parallel .with respect to each other.. Mounted on each of the arms 3 in longitudinally spaced relation is a pair of double spring controlled, clamps il adapted to releasably engage the handle portion 5 of the orderholding hoops or loops 6 and as said clamps rare identical in construction, a detailed description of one will suflice for all.
headed, threaded bolt `11` which extends transversely throughV the arms and has lthreaded thereon aretaining nutV 12. A coil spring 13 is ycompressed on the bolt 11 between the"head114 thereofV and the vbar 8.
The purposeof the spring 13 is to yielding ly urgethe bars 7 and 8 toward Vthe arms 3 and consequently yieldingly urge the `jaws` `Q and 10 together.- The bar VSis provided -with anopeni'ng 15 through which slidably projects a guide pin 16l mounted on kthe bar y7 and said 'guide pin-retains the bars 7 and 8 in parallelism with each other. The free end portions of the jaws 9 and 10 are turned outwardly at an obtuse angle to Vfacilitate the insertion of the handle 5 therebetween.
The train order holders are mounted in the clamps in the manner clearly illustrated in'Figure 1 of the drawings. It will also be readily apparent that an order holder may be mountedin the upper jaws ofthe pairs of clamps. f p
' It is 'believed-that the many advantages of a train order holder constructed in accordance with this invention will be readily understood,and although the preferred embodiment of the invention is as illustrated and described, it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction may be had which will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed'.
What is claimed is 1. A train order holder of the character described comprising a supporting arm, and a pair of double clamps mounted in spaced relation on the arm, each of said clamps comprising a headed bolt mounted on the arm, a pair of opposed bars slidably mounted on the bolt and having their opposed end portions formed to provide co-acting jaws Vand resilient means engaged with one of the bars in a manner to yieldingly urge the same toward the other bar and further adapted to yieldingly urge said other bar into engagement with the supporting arm.
2. A train order holder of the character Y described comprising a supporting arm, and a pair of double clamps mounted in spaced relation on the supporting arm, each oit' said clamps comprising a headed bolt mounted transversely in the supporting arm7 a pair of elongated bars slidably mounted on the r bolts between the head thereoi1 Vand the supporting arm, the opposite end portion of each of said bars being laterally offset in a manner to provide o o-acting clamping jaws,
and a coil spring mounted on the bolts and having one end impinged against the head thereof and its opposite end impinged against the outermost bar ina mannerl to urge said bar toward the innermost bar and to yieldingly retain the innermostbar in engagement with the supporting arm.
3. A train order holder of the character described comprising a supportino` arm, and a pair of double clamps mountedD in spaced relation on the supporting arm, eachE of y said clamps comprising a headed bolt mounted transversely in the supporting arm,
a pair of elongated barsslidably mounted on the boltsvbetween the Vhead thereof and the supporting arm, the opposite end portion of each of said bars being laterally offset in a manner to provide co-acting clamping jaws, and a coil spring mounted on the bolts and having one end impinged c against the head thereof and its opposite end impinged against lthe outermost bar in almanner to urge said bar toward Vthe innermost bar and to yieldingly retain the innermost bar in engagement with the supporting arm, said outermost bar being provided with an opening, and a guide pin mounted on the other bar and projecting slidably through the opening and constituting means for retaining the bars allelism with respect to each other.
In testimony whereof we aix our signatures.
