Patented Oct. 9, 1951 g- EATENT OFFICE PEN on PENCIL rooKE'r CLIP Harold, Menasha, Wis. Application February 24, 1948, Serial No. 10,350
2 Claims.
The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in clips for holding a pen or pencil in the pocket of a person, and more particularly to a clip which remains secured in position to a pocket while a pen or pencil is being placed therein or removed therefrom.
An important object of the invention is to provide a pocket clip of this character which guides the pencil in clamping position therein without danger of tearin or wearing the pocket of the clothing.
Another object of the invention is to provide a self-adjustable clip for accommodating pens, pencils or the like of various sizes.
A still further object is to provide a device of this character which is constructed of a single strand of resilient wire shaped to provide a pocket clip as well as a pencil holding clip.
Another object is to provide a device of this character of simple and practical construction, which is neat and attractive in appearance, relatively inexpensive to manufacture and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.
Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which;
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the clip;
Figure 2 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view through the pocket of a garment showing the clip held in position therein and with a pencil supported by the clip;
Figure 3 is a front elevational view; and
Figure 4 is a rear elevational view.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, wherein for the purpose of illustration I have disclosed a preferred embodiment of the invention, the numeral 5 designates the clip generally which is constructed of a single strand of resilient wire bent to provide a pair of parallel portions 6 and "l and a pair of parallel portions 8 and 9, the pairs of parallel portions being spaced apart from each other.
The parallel portions 1 and 8 are formed adjacent the ends of the wire and said ends are bent to form aligned overlapping horizontal loops l0 and l l at the lower end of the clip. The parallel portions 6 and 8 at the end of the clip opposite from loops l0 and H are joined together by a horizontal loop I2 vertically aligned with loops [0 and l I at the upper end of the clip.
The parallel portions 6 and 9 are joined to each other adjacent loops I0 and II to form an outwardly curved lower end l3 of a pocket engaging clip which is engageable with the upper edge of a garment pocket M, and parallel portions 1 and 9 are joined to each other adjacent loop l2 to form a curved upper end I5 for the pocket clip which straddles the upper edge of the pocket to limit downward movement of the clip into the pocket.
When attaching the clip to a pocket, the parallel portions 6 and 9 and lower end l3 are positioned outwardly of the pocket while upper end 15 straddles the upper edge of the pocket to position parallel portions 1 and B, the upper loop l2 and both lower loops l0 and H inwardly of the pocket.
After the clip has been secured in the pocket, a pencil or the like It may be inserted in the aligned upper and lower loops and frictionally held there- The placing of the clip in a pocket causes a slight twisting of parallel portion 1 by the pocket material which thus places the portion 1 under tension to increase its gripping action.
The portion 1 is also formed inwardly at the side of portion 6 with respect to the pair of parallel portions 8 and 9 to position the portion "I between the pencil and the pocket material, as shown in Figure 2 of the drawing to hold the pencil spaced from the pocket material and thus reduce wearing or tearing of the material during insertion and removal of the pencil.
In view of the foregoing description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings it is believed that a clear understanding of the device will be quite apparent to those skilled in this art. A more detailed description is accordingly deemed unnecessary.
It is to be understood, however, that even though there is herein shown and described a preferred embodiment of the invention the same is susceptible to certain changes fully comprehended by the spirit of the invention as herein described and the scope of the appended claims.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A pencil holder comprising a pair of resilient wire clip-forming jaws of substantially oval shape and formed of a single strand of wire, each clip jaw including side bars positioned substantially parallel one with the other, and with one of the side bars of one clip jaw united with one of the side bars of the other clip jaw to resiliently hold the pair of paws in coacting gripping relation with each other, one of said clip jaws adapted for engaging a pocket and positioned outwardly thereof while the other of said clip jaws is positioned inwardly of the pocket, and aligned upper and lower pencil gripping loops formed at the ends of said inner clip jaw 2. A pocket pencil holder comprising a pair of elongated resilient wire clip jaws, each including a pair of spaced apart substantially parallel side bars, one of the side bars of one jaw being united with one of the side bars of the other jaw adjacent one end of the jaws to resiliently hold the jaws in coacting gripping engagement at the edge of a pocket, and upper and lower aligned pencil engaging loops projectin horizontally from the 0pposite ends of one of the jaws.
