ROBERT RA/LLAT Patented Dec. 14, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CLIP PIN FLOWER HOLDER Application July 22, 1937, Serial No. 154,978
2 Claims.
The invention relates to an article of jewelry, more especially a clip pin or brooch designed to retain a flower or bouquet of flowers.
It has for an object to associate with a pin, which may readily be attached to the coat or dress of the wearer, a suitable holding element which will cooperate with the body or bar portion of the pin to securely retain thereto flowers by gripping the stems thereof between the said holder and bar portion. a
A further object of the invention is to so associate the holding means with the pin portion that the ensemble will present a pleasing appearance not only when the device is performing its intended function but also when it is worn without flowers.
Still another object of the invention is to afford a device of the nature aforesaid whereby stems or bouquets of different thicknesses may be accommodated and securely retained.
In carrying out the invention, the holder device is constructed of the usual body portion or bar with attaching pin element pivoted to its under side; and at the pivot end of said bar there is located a further pivoted element which is in the nature of a U-shape member adapted to swing about the sides of the bar either to a position normal to the bar or in contact with the upper face thereof. In the former position, it will present an opening of sufficient area to admit of inserting the stem of a flower or the stems of a bunch of flowers or bouquet which, when the U-shape member is swung down upon the bar, will be held thereby securely to its upper face. Resilient means such as a spring acting on the member is provided to afford a yielding hold.
The nature of the invention, however, will best be understood when described in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a plan View of the novel holder showing the same retaining a bunch of flowers.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the holder.
Fig. 3 is an underneath View of the holder; and Fig. 4 is an end View thereof Referring to the drawing, a brooch or bar pin is indicated having the usual body portion or bar H] to the underside of which is pivotally secured at one end a pin or attaching member ll whereby the same may be secured to the garment of the wearer. No claim is made to this feature of the novel device and. the said pin may be spring-urged for engagement with the transverse surface l2 at the opposite end of the body portion, or adapted to engage a suitable catch (not shown).
At the same end to which said pin is attached and preferably at a position somewhat nearer the middle of the bar is pivotally secured to the sides of the bar H! a U-shape member l5, for example by means of a pivot pin IS. The member 15 may thus be rocked with reference to the said bar or body portion to a position substantially normal thereto, as indicated in the dotted line position, Fig. 2, or to a position of engagement with the upper surface of the said bar. In the former position the U-shape member will present sufficient opening I! to allow of the insertion of the stems l8 as of the bunch of flowers l9 indicated in Fig. 1 of the drawing. When these have been thus inserted, member 15 brought down upon the upper surface of the bar to bear upon the stems and hold them to the said surface.
To insure a firm hold, the sides of the U-shape member are extended slightly beyond their pivots and there is caused to bear upon the same respective spring fingers and 2| secured to the underside of the bar II]. It is preferred to provide these engaging portions of the respective sides with squared engaging surfaces 22 and 23, the surfaces of a set being located at right angles to each other for better retaining a selected position of the U-shape membereither in the loading position or in its holding position, as the case may be, and for snapping the same into a selected position.
Moreover, the upper surface of the bar at the pivot end may be roughened as by providing the corrugations 26 to afford a better gripping surface, as well as affording ornamentation. When the holder is not being utilized for its intended purpose, member [5 will not present an objectionable appearance in its folded-down position, and if desired it may also be variously ornamented.
I claim:
1. A clip pin flower holder, comprising a body portion and means pivoted to its under side at one end for attaching the holder to a garment, a U-shape member pivoted at its open end to said body portion at said end with a portion extending over the upper surface of the body portion and adapted for contact therewith, and resilient means attached at one end to the underside of the body portion and adapted to bear against flattened surfaces extended around said member at its pivoted end.
2. A clip pin flower holder, comprising a body portion and means pivoted to its under side at one end for attaching the holder to a garment, and a U-shape member pivoted at its open end to said body portion at said end with a portion extending over the upper surface of the body portion and adapted for contact therewith, said member having extensions beyond its fulcrum with squared surfaces at right angles to each other, and springs attached at one end to the underside of the body portion and having free ends respectively adapted to bear alternatively upon one or the other of said surfaces.
