Description

Nov. 7, 1950 A. w. WALKER SHREDDED METAL HOLDER Filed Jan. 15, 1948 INVENTOR. Arnold M Na Zker ATTU R N EYE Patented Nov. 7, 1950 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention relates to a holder for use with shredded metals, such as steel wool, copper shavings or similarly formed articles, and the holder is especially designed to permit quick and efiective gripping or engagement with the above articles, without the liability of injury to the persons hand or hands using the holder.
An object of the invention is to provide a holder made of a single strip of spring metal, bent to an inverted U-form, and having side flanges from which prongs are struck out, which, engaging the shredded materials, retains these materials securely engaged with the holder.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device that is simple in operation and construction, effective and durable in use and inexpensive to manufacture.
With the above and other objects and advantages in view, the invention consists of the novel details of construction, arrangement and combination of parts more fully hereinafter described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
Figure 1 is an elevational view of one side of an embodiment of the invention, in which the body is in latched position;
Figure 2 is a top plan of the device;
Figure 3 is an elevational View of the same side as in Figure 1 with the body in unlatched position;
Figure 4 is an elevational edge view of the device and Figure 5 is a sectional view on the line 5-5 of Figure 2.
Referring more in detail to the drawing, the reference numeral [0 is used to generally designate the holder embodying the invention.
The hold-er comprises a body I I, which is made of a sheet or strip of spring metal, and is bent into inverted U-form, having outwardly diverging right angularly extending flanges I2 and I3 respectively.
The flanges l2 and i3 are each provided with staggered V-shaped prongs I4 which are struck out of the forms in inverse relation to eaohother, so that the points of the prongs are directed inwardly. The prongs l4- extend below the lower surface of the flanges and the outer edges of the flanges are curved as at 15.
The U-formed body has a substantially square shaped opening [6 provided in one side thereof, and an inturned springy projection I! struck from the other side thereof. A depending detent i8 is struck from the projection I1 and is used to retain the body H in constricted form, as will be later described.
In use, the holder is placed on a mass of steel wool or copper sponges, or similar material IS, in the position shown in Figures 1 and 3, and more clearly in Figure 4.
By squeezing the body H, the projection I'l enters the opening l6, so that the detent I8 can engage the lower edge of the opening [6 in this position. The detent l8 retains the body in the constricted form shown in Figure 4.
The prongs l4, entering the steel wool, retain the steel wool on the holder.
The holder protects the hands from damage from the steel wool, and also gives a better grip to the steel wool when it is being used.
The holder can be used for household use in a small size or can be made larger for other uses as desired.
By pushing upward on the projection H, the detent can be released from engagement with the edge of the opening l6, and the steel wool can be removed and a new piece inserted in its place.
It is believed that from the foregoing description, the structure of the holder will be clearly understood, as well as the manner of operation, and it is to be understood that changes in the minor details of construction, arrangement and combination of parts may be resorted to, provided they fall within the spirit of the invention, and the scope of the appended claim.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
A holder of the class described, comprising an inverted U-form body made of a single strip of spring metal having the ends thereof bent to form oppositely disposed right angularly extending flanges, inwardly directed material engaging prongs projecting from the undersurface of the flanges, an inwardly directed latch projection formed integral with said body in one side thereof, a detent on said latch projection and means in the opposite side of the body adapted to receive the latch and coact with the detent to retain the body in constricted position.
