J. R. KAISER PAD HOLDER Filed May 5, 1956 INVENTOR J0/l/V k, ffA/SER ATTOR Y,
Patented May 4, 1937 V UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.
This invention relates: to an improved pad holder'for supporting pads and calenders in inclined position and of the type that provides for replacement of the pads and also for compensating for the reduced thickness as the pad is used up.
The invention resides particularly in the supporting elements which lend themselves to easy assembly and a very cheap construction, having a single screw in each support which provides a smooth projection for resting or gliding on a polished surface. The pad is held down by a keeper which is also novel in that it not only provides a straight edge fortearing ofi leaves of the pad but also provides a pencil tray beyond the top a section on line 2--2 in Figure 1. I
The main sheet or support It! is in the form of a flat tablet and I find that stifi cardboard is well-adapted for the purpose. The pad is shown at I l and is of any form such as a memorandum pad or calendar or it can be made up of loose sheets. The support I0 is inclined by reason of a leg or legs placed at the rear end of the support. I show a holder having two legs.
The leg is formed of a tube l2 which is preferably of cardboard or wood although other material may be used, the forms, however, being light in weight. The support I0 is provided with holes 13 which are aligned with the bore of the leg I2 by a screw I 4. The screw I4 is headed and not slotted, the head l5 being at the bottom and acting as a smooth rounded projection which glides easily over a polished or varnished surface without scratching. V
The screw extends upwardly freely through the leg and through a. hole in the pad and beyond the pad where the screw threads I6 receive a nut l1. Between the nut l1 and the pad II is a metal strip l8 forming a keeper on which the nut or nuts I I bear to hold the pad firmly. The edge I9 of the keeper forms an edge for tearing the top sheet ofi. The reduced thickness of the pad that takes place when whole sheets are removed is compensated for by the nuts ll.
The keeper may be provided with a marginal trough 20 on the edge beyond the pad to form a pen and pencil tray. The tray is shown as continuous for the length of the strip but may be made up of several parallel bent parts if desired. The tray is integral with the keeper and also provides a ready grasping means for lifting the device.
The lightness and cheapness of the device will be evident and the parts are held together until the nut or nuts ll are entirely removed.
I claim:
1.. A pad holder comprising a stiff sheet of material for supporting a pad, a tubular leg under one end of the sheet, the sheet having a perforation in line with the bore of the leg, a screw having a rounded head, extending upwardly through the leg and the sheet and projecting above the sheet for reception of the pad, a keeper on thescrew and a nut on the screw for securing the pad in place, said keeper comprising astrip to rest on the pad and a curved extension beyond the pad to form a. trough.
2. A pad holder comprising a fiat supporting sheet, a tubular leg for one end of the sheet, the leg and sheet having aligned holes, a headed screw projecting from the bottom through the holes, a keeper having a hole to receive the screw, and a nut on the screw above the keeper, the keeper consisting of a strip having a marginal trough for use as a pencil tray.
