Application February 19, 1948, Serial No. 9,449
1 Claim. (Cl. 242-553) The invention relates to a dispensing device and in particular to a device for dispensing ribboned material.
In arranging flowers in bouquets, or making up corsages, a florist uses a great deal of ribbon and it is usually the case that his hands are full of flowers so that it is difilcult for him to manipulate a spool of ribbon. The same difficulty arises in wrapping packages with string or ribbon.
The present invention is directed to a device for dispensing ribbon, string, and the like.
An object of the invention is to provide a device which occupies a minimum of space but which is readily adaptable for the purpose to which it is intended.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device for dispensing ribbon which is simple in construction and can be readily assembled.
A further object is to provide a device for dispensing ribbon which can be easily manufactured at a relatively low cost.
Yet a further object of the invention is to provide a ribbon dispensing device, including a base with a substantially vertical support secured thereto, and a framework arranged on said support to carry ribbon spools.
Other objects and advantages will become more readily apparent from a consideration of the following description and drawing wherein:
Fig. 1 is an elevational view illustrating one form of the invention;
Fig. 2 is an end view on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;,
Fig. 3 is a perspective of a modified form of the invention.
In Fig. 1, the device is shown at 2 as comprising a base 3, with the support arm on shaft 4 extending substantially vertically upwardly therefrom. A member 6, best seen in Fig. 2, telescopes into the support 4, is rotatably supported therein, and is secured through the connection I to a brace 8 which has the framework 9 thereon and which is rotatable with the member 6.
The framework is provided with at least one and preferably a plurality of ribbon holders l which are of a diameter to support practically any type or size ribbon spool thereon.
As seen from the drawings, the device can hold a relatively large number of spools of various size and color of ribbon. All of the spools are easily accessible and ribbon can be easily unwound from one or more of the spools simultaneously. Additionally, ribbon can be obtained from either side or both sides simultaneously of the device without any dificulty.
The support arm 4 is rigidly secured to the base 3 in the connection I 2 by any suitable means and is shown as being secured with the threads Ill. The arm 4 may extend upwardly any distance depending upon the size of ribbon holder desired, however, as a practical matter the height thereof will seldom exceed 24 or 36 inches.
The framework 9 arranged on the brace I which is connected to the member 6 and which is rotatably arranged in the arm 4 may be of any suitable size and any number of spool holders 19 can be secured thereto.
The lateral or transverse brace 8 upon which the framework 9 is supported is provided with a cushion l4 thereon to serve as a holder for pins and the like. Spaced from the brace 8 is a second brace l5 which is substantially identical to the brace 8, but which is provided with an opening 16 therethrough to receive the vertical support arm 4. The brace 8 is shown as being arranged adjacent the top of the member 6 while the brace I5 is adjacent the base 3. Such an arrangement provides a maximum of space between the braces and hence a larger framework can be fixed upon the device which allows a maximum number of spools to be retained thereon.
The framework comprises the strip members ll which interconnect the upper and lower spaced braces 3 and 15. The strip members are preferably substantially vertically arranged and while any number desired can be used, it has been found that only two to four are needed, depending upon the size of the device.
The ribbon holders I0 extend transversely with respect to thestrip members l1 and are spaced vertically thereon. Suitable supports, such as the J-bolts i8 and nut [9 can be used to removably retain the holders In on the members ll. Any suitable size and configuration of the holders Ill can be used, but it has been found that small rod-like holders are preferable since such configuration will not retard the rotation of spools thereon and with a small size holder, practically any size spool can be easily adapted thereto.
An alternate embodiment of the device is shown at 25 in Fig. 3. This embodiment is provided with a base 3, support arm 4, with braces 26 and 2i substantially similar to braces 8 and I5. However, such braces are shortened so that they do not extend beyond the base 3.. This affords a device which is compact and which occupies a minimum of space while affording a maximum of spool receiving space.
It has been found that the device comprising the present invention will withstand the rigorous and rough handling to which such devices must be subjected. Additionally, the device is sturdy and compact, but provides a maximum of spool receiving space; the invention is designed so that it has a pleasing appearance and can be displayed on a counter without ruining the arrangement of goods on the counter.
While the invention has been described as relating particularly to the arranging of flowers,
it seems obvious that it could: be used in the wrapping of packages in a department store or the like.
Broadly the invention contemplates a ribbon: dispenser which is of simple construction and readily adaptable to the purpose for which it is invented.
What is claimed is:
A device for dispensing ribboned material com-- prising, a base, a hollow support arm extending upwardy therefrom and secured therein, a telescoping member rotatably mounted in said. am, a pair of braces extending laterally oi said tele- 4 scoping member, one adjacent the top of said member and supported thereon and the other adjacent said base, a plurality of spaced strip loop members interconnected with said braces, a plurality of clamps supported on said loop members, and rods secured in said clamps and extending transversely of said loop members to receive a plurality of ribbon spools.
