J. D. LEAOH.
' Broom-Holder.
No. 209,484. Patenrd Oct. 29,1878.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.-
JOSEPH D. LEAOH, OF PENOBSOOT, MAINE.
V IMPROVEMENT IN BROOM-HOLDERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 209,484, dated October 29, 1878; application filed July 5, 1878.
; domestic utensil may be held when not in use; and the invention consists in a device formed of wire in one-entire piece, which is so formed and bent as to have a pair of curved gripin g jaws or fingers, from the base of which the wire extends at right. angles a sufficient 'distance, where it terminates in an eye formed in the bight of the two parts of the wire, and
. which receives one of the screws which secure the holder to the wall, a cap or shield having a slot to receive the parallel part of the wire being also combined with the holder, so as to prevent the spreading of the jaws and to' economize the torsional spring of the straight part of the holder, so as to hold the broom in the gripe of the jaws.
' Figure] is a front elevation. showing the holder complete and as secured to the wall. Fig. 2 is a similar view, but with the upper part of the shield broken away. Fig. 3 is a top or plan view of Fig. 1.
In these figures, A is asection of the wall to which theholder is secured. a is the eye or bight formed at the lineal center of the fingers which grasp the handle B, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 3. d is the shield, and
e is the slot in the same through which the eye a and members b I) are inserted. The screw f secures the upper end of the shield and the eye a to the wall, and screwy secures the lower end of the shield to the wall, thereby securing the holder in position.
It will be apparent that by inserting the two parts of the wire, at the angle between members I) b and c c, in slot 6 the members b I) cannot be spread apart at their lower ends when the jaws c c are forced open by the act. of inserting the handle of a broom or other body between them, and that such spreading of the outer ends of the jaws will produce a torsional or twisting strain and action upon members b 1), thereby insuring an elastic action of the jaws to gripe the handle when so inserted.
I claim as my invention- A broom-holder formed of a single piece of wire, and with the eye a, members I) b, jaws c c, and the slotted shield d formed to receive the wire-holder, substantially as described and shown.
