HOLDER FOR ABRASIVES, DETERGENTS,
AND POLISHING MATERIALS Filed Sept. 30, 1947 Patented Aug. 10, 1948 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HOLDER FOR ABRASIVES, DE-TERGENTS, AND POLISHING MATERIALS Thomas 0. Kelly, Hinsdale, Ill.
Application September 30, 1947, Serial No. 776,926
2 Claims. 1
The use of abrasives, detergents, and polishing materials exposes the hands, and particularly the fingers and the nails, to dirt, discoloring agents, and mechanical injury. This has long been objectionable and especially so in the kitchen; and, though many have sought to correct or relieve the situation, none has achieved success. The principal object of this invention is to provide a holder for abrasives, detergents, and polishing materials that will enable the user to present those materials to the work with a minimum or no exposure of the fingers.
Generally speaking, this is accomplished by means of a sheet of resilient material shaped to form a spring bow and opposed jaws, fitting in the palm and between the thumb and fingers, and adapted to grasp the detergent, abrasive, or polishing material and present it to the work to be done. The jaws are brought together against the resistance of the bow spring and made to grip the pad, block, or package of material by a slide that is is easily shifted but cannot injure the fingers.
The preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the holder gripping a pad of material, such as a mixture of steel wool and soap, and held in a slender feminine hand;
Fig. 2 is a side view of the holder with the normal position of the parts shown in dotted lines and the working position shown in solid lines;
Fig. 3 is a plan view of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is an elevation looking at the right end of Fig. 2.
The holder is preferably made from a sheet of steel shaped to form a spring bow I and jaws ll integral with and blending into the sides of the how.
The body is of somewhat oval form to fit naturally into the palm and between the thumb and the fingers, thereby providing an easy, natural grip with the free ends of the jaws extending beyond the fingers in a natural position to bring the pad, bar, or package of material l-2 into contact with the work and press and guide it in the necessary operations.
The shape and resiliency of the bow and the jaws make them naturally take the positions shown in the dotted lines in Fig. 2, and they are moved to the solid line position to grip and hold the material l2 by a pin I3 extending through and freely movable in slots I4 running lengthwise to the jaws and having outwardly rounded, smooth heads I5 presenting inner generally fiat faces 15 to the outer sides of the jaws.
Merely sliding the pin to the left in Fig. 2 serves to release the material l2 for removal or adjustment, and sliding in the opposite direction makes it fast and holds it fast. The friction between the heads l5 and the jaws, together with the natural position of the fingers makes this position secure and the adjustment ready and easy.
The gripping of the material I2 is assisted by teeth ll directed towards each other and serving to bite into and set a definite limit to the position of the material within the jaws while it is being presented to the work, pushed against the surface of the work, and moved back and forth or otherwise as may be appropriate to its use.
It will be apparent from the above taken in connection with the drawings, that the tool is shaped to fit naturally into the hand, the back l8 of the bow resting directly in the palm, and the remainder fitting naturally to the curving form of the palm, the thumb, and the fingers, thereby giving a secure grip and a natural position for presenting the material l2 while keeping the hands and even the ends of the fingers well away from exposure to dirt, discoloration and mechanical injury.
I claim:
1. A holder of the class described, including opposed jaws having lengthwise slots and bearing oppositely directed teeth, a spring bow connecting the jaws and urging them apart, a pin extending through and slidable in said slots, and two heads on the pin on opposite sides of said Jaws.
2. A holder of the class described, including opposed jaws having lengthwise slots and bearing oppositely directed teeth, a spring bow connecting the jaws and urging them apart, a pin extending through and slidable in said slots, and rounded heads on the pin presenting flattened faces to opposite sides of said jaws.
