lINVE NTOR KENNETH L.HANSON ATTORNEYS Patented Nov. 162 1948 UNITED STATES PATENT ori-ICE ARTICLE HOLDER FOR ATTACHMENT TO AUTOMOBILE VISORS lKenneth Lyle Hanson, Minneapolis, Minn. Application September 6,. 1947, Serial No. 772,547 l Claims. (Cl. Zhi-42.4.2)
My invention relates to article holders and particularly to an article holder adapted to be attached to the glare shield of a motor vehicle.
An object of the invention resides in providing a holder adapted, in conjunction with the glare shield, to form pockets for the reception of various articles.
Another object of, the invention resides in providing an article holder of flexible material comprising an elongated envelope having front and rear walls joined along their bottom and end portions and open at the top for the reception of the glare shield.
A still further object of the invention resides in providing the envelope with an elastic portion or band extending about the upper portion of the same and adapted to embrace the glare shield longitudinally thereof to hold the articles within the pockets and to hold the upper edge of the envelope in place relative to theglare shield.
An object of the invention resides in providing means for attaching the envelope at its lower edge to the glare shield without altering or defacing the glare shield.
A still further object of the invention resides in using elastic straps for encircling the glare shield transversely thereof to attach the envelope Lat its lower edge to said glare shield.
Other objects of the invention reside in the novel combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter illustrated and/or described.
lin the drawings: I
Fig. l. is a front elevational view of a glare shield illustratingan embodiment oi my invention applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view taken on line i t--t of Fig. 1 and drawn to an enlarged scale.
For the purpose of illustrating the application of my invention I have shown in the drawing an ordinary glare shield ID. This glare shield comprises an elongated body. ll, plate like in form, said body being covered by means of a covering l2 of any suitable material which serves to protect said body and to enhance the appearance of the same. The said glare shield It has attached to it the usual bracket it which swivels in a head It pivoted conventionally on a mounting It secured to the motor vehicle.
The invention proper comprises an envelope lli constructed of flexible material such as fabric, plastic, rubber or the like. This envelope it has a, iront wall Il and a rear wall it joined at the bottom of said envelope by a connecting portion it, said walls being connected along their end portions as by seams ZI.
The envelope it, as best shown in Fig. 2, is open at the top and extending along the upper por-'- tions of the front and rear Walls Il and I8 is a hem 22, which in the case of fabric mayl be formed by turning back the upper marginal portion of the Vvmaterial from which the walls I1 and I8 are formed and stitching the same to the said walls along lines 23. Within said hem 22 is a band 24 of rubber or other elastic material. The envelope I6 is of dimensions enabling it to befr slipped open end foremost over the glare shield Ill and to fit about and hug the same when applied thereto. When the envelope is applied to the glare shield, the band 24 holds the open end of the envelope closed and holds the walls Il and I8 from drooping relative to the glare shield.
For securing the envelope I6 to the glare shield I0, two identical attaching members 25 and 2li are employed. Each of said members 25 and 26 consists vof a strap 2l preferably constructed of rubber or other suitable elastic material. Said strap 21 is of a length to fit about the glare shield It as shown in Fig. l. A sheath 28, preferably constructed of the same material as the envelope i6, envelops and protects said strap. This sheath 28 is stitched, as at 29, to the connecting portion I9 of the envelope It, whereby said strap 2l becomes connected or attached to the envelope i6 at the lowermost portion of the same.
In the use of the invention, the envelope It is turned inside out exposing the straps 25 and 2t. These straps are then stretched and applied endwise to the glare shield lll by sliding the same along said glare shield until they occupy the positions shown in Fig. l. The envelope I6 is then righted and slipped up over the glare shield lll, the band 2t being stretched in this operation and brought into position relative to said glare shield, as shown in Fig. l. When the envelope I6 is thus applied to the glare shield Iii, a pocket 3l is formed between th-e glare shield and the front wall I'I of said envelope, and another pocket 32 is formed between the rear wall lli and said glare shield lll. These pockets 3l, t2 are both closed by the band 2t which gathers the material of the hem 22 snugly about the glare shield proper. Articles may now be inserted into either or both of the pockets 3| and t2, the band 2d being further stretched insuch operation. Thereafter, said band 2li acts to hold the articles in said pockets when the articles protrude from the pockets 3l, t2, said band 2li causes the hem 22 to engage such articles and hold them securely pocketed.
The advantages of the invention are manifest. The device can be applied to a glare shield quickly and without tools or other implements. My improved article holder can be applied to the glare shield without alteration or reconstruction there-l of. With rny invention the envelope can be made to fit various types and sizes of glare shields. The two pockets formed are adapted to be closed by means of the elastic band used, thus retaining the article within the pockets. Long arttcles extending partly out of the pockets are held in position by means `of said band. My invention can be constructed economically and can be made to correspond indesign, color and material with the glare shield with which the device is to be used.
Although my invention preferably contemplates the employment of elastic straps, las above described, for securing the envelope I6 at its lower portion to the lower edge of the glare shield l0, it will be'readily appreciated that non-elastic straps, tie-strings or clips may be used for such purpose. And other changes in the specic form of my invention, as herein described, may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of my invention.
Having described my invention, wh-at I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:
1. An article holder for application to a glare shield, said holder comprising an envelope open at the top for the reception of the glare shield, attaching means for attaching the envelope to the glare shield and secured to the envelope at the lowermost portion of the same, said attaching` means being removably fastened to said glare shield.
2. An article holder for application to a glare shield, said holder comprising an elongated envelope having a front Wall and rear wall, connec tions between said walls along the end and bottom edgesvof the envelope, said envelope being open at the top for the reception of the glare shield and forming therewith a'front pocket between said'front wall and said glare shield and a rear pocket between said rear wall and said glare shield, and attaching means for attaching the envelope to the glare shield secured to the envelope at the lowermost portion of the same, said attaching means being removably `:fastened to said glare shield.
3. An article holder for application to a glare shield, said holder comprising an elongated envelope having a front wall and a rear wall, connections between said walls along the end and bottom edges of the envelope, said envelope being open at the top for the reception of the glare shield and forming therewith pockets between said front wall and said glare shield and between said rear wall and said glare'shield, an elastic bandencircling said envelope at the upper edge thereof and secured to said front and rear walls, said band'l serving to close said pockets and to retain within said pockets articles placed therein,
