Description

TACK HOLDER Filed Jan. 11, 1938 Patented Oct. 25, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
My present invention relates to a holder for tacks, nails, bolts, screws or any articles having shank and head portions.
To expedite their work, upholsterers frequently place tacks in their mouths and release them one by one as required. Holding the tacksin a shallow pan, though preferable from the sanitary point of view, is objectionable as not permitting quick and easy singular withdrawal.
To overcome the foregoing objections is the main object of my presentinvention. A more specific object is to provide a simple, efiective tack holder. Y
Other objects and advantages of my invention will be apparent as the more detailed description thereof proceeds.
In the drawing, Figure 1 is an isometric viewof one form of my improved tack holder, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of the tack holding surface employed in Figure 1, Figures 3 and are views of a modification, and Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of still another modification of my tack holder.
Referring to Figure 1, my tack holder is formed of a rectangular frame 2 within which, and supported thereby, is a tack holding or mounting surface. This surface is formed of a plurality of arcuate or warped strips 4, 6, 8, which, as shown in Figure 2, form a plurality of troughs or channels l0, l2. Aseries of holes l4, l6, 18 are punched or otherwise made in the troughs.
As shown in Figures 3 and 5, the tack holding surface may be arranged to consist of a series of angularly arranged surfaces or strips 20, 22, 24, 26, which, at their troughs, are provided with triangular channels or depressions 30, 32, 34. In the latter, holes are provided which are substantially larger in diameter than the shanks of the tacks 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, but less in diameter than the diameter of the heads of the tacks.
The supporting surface or tack'plate 60, as shown in Figure 4, may be fiat and be provided with a series of cylindrical channels 62, 64 into which are punched holes for receiving the shanks of the tacks. p The tack supporting plate or surface may be supported by a rectangular frame such as shown in Figure 1, or may be carried within an open 5 box or cylinder 10, as illustrated in Figure 3. The downwardly extending edge 12 of Figure 3 is of such length that the tack points 14 do not touch the base of the container 10. In Figure 1,
, the rectangular frame .2 provides both downwardly and upwardly extending edges for the perforated tack supporting plate. The downward extension is made, as explained in connection with Figure 3, so that when the tacks are sup-v ported by their heads, their points are in free1 space.
In the operation of my tack holder, a number of tacks 80 (Figure 1) are thrown over the supporting plate. Shaking the plate causes the tacks to take successive positions illustrated by tacks 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48 of Figure 5. The tacks are then in position to be quickly removed by means of a magnetic hammer 90, as shown in Figures 2 Q and 3.
My tack holder is preferably made of metal, but it may be made of paper or other suitable material without departing from the scope of my invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is: V
A holder for tacks having shanks and heads comprising'a member having a plurality of V- shaped troughs therein and a plurality of openings in the bottoms of the troughs whereby upon shaking said holder said tacks having shank 3 and head portions are so guided that the shank portions move into the openings and the articles are supported by their head portions against the Walls of the V shaped troughs, and a rim-like structure around said member for supporting said
