3 Claims. 1
This invention relates to a string package.
String is used to a considerable extent by the housewife and is usually sold in balls which are kept in a drawer or on a table and when on a table frequently roll from the table onto the floor and are generally unmanageable. At times there have been string holders provided which may be mounted upon the wall. Difficulties in mounting the package of string on the holder has presented itself and the holders are usually complicated and therefore expensive.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide a holder which will be of simple and inexpensive construction.
Another object of this invention is to provide a holder which will easily and quickly permit a package of string to be mounted on the holder and when the package is exhausted, easily removed therefrom and another package substituted.
Another object of this invention is to provide a holder which may be mounted in many difierent positions, from any one of which the string may be drawn for convenient dispensing.
Another object of this invention is to provide an arrangement so that string may be drawn from the package either upwardly or downwardly or at angles thereto.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the package ready for` mounting in position;
Figure 2 is a sectional view on line 2-2 of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the lower fragmental portion of the holder; and
Figure 4 is a section on line 4-4 of Figure 2.
In proceeding with this invention We out from sheet stock a bracket or holder and suitably punch and bend this holder so that all of the parts thereof may be formed from a single piece of material. An opening is punched in the base with arms at the edge of the opening, which are each provided with a prong for gripping the cardboard tube upon which the string is wound. While from this base, there is provided a lip at one edge and a standard from the other edge to provide a mounting means for the package, while from this standard extends an arm overhanging the cone in order to provide a lead for the string.
With reference to the drawings, I0 designates generally the holder which is formed from sheet stock, there being provided a base Il with a iiange I2 at the front edge of the base, while from the opposite or back edge of the base, there is a standard I3 which extends to a height greater than the package which is to be carried on the base and is provided with an arm I4 bent at right angles to the standard I3 which will overhang the base and package thereon. This arm is provided with a threading opening I5 adjacent its end. Openings I6 and I'I are provided in the standard I3 for securing the holder to a vertical support by means of screws; while holes I8 and I9 are provided in the base I I for securing the holder to a horizontal support, should occasion require.
An opening 20 is provided in the base having an edge 2I inwardly from the periphery thereof from which edge arms 22 are bent upwardly at right angles to the base, these being formed from the stock which is removed to form the opening 20. Each of these arms is provided with an outwardly extending spur or prong 23 which is cut from the stock of the arm and lifted therefrom, but left to incline downwardly as clearly shown in Figure 3.
The package which is to be assembled upon this holder is designated 25 and comprises a cardboard core 26 having an opening 2'I in the top end 28 and upon which string 29 is assembled with a universal wind for dispensing. In order to position this package upon the support, it is merely necessary to telescope the tube 26 over the arms 22 forcing the cardboard tube downwardly so that the prongs will form a groove or channel 30 lengthwise of the tube as it is forced downwardly over the spurs, and then by rotating the package circularly after forced down against the base, these grooves or channels 30 will be formed circularly of the core as at 3| so that the prongs lock the core on the base and the core cannot be readily lifted therefrom. In fact the entire package including the holder may be picked up by grasping the string.
In order to dispense the string, the end 33 thereof, as shown in Figure 1, may be passed up through the hole I5 in overhanging arm I4 to draw the string from the package or the string may be passed down through the opening 21 in the core and out through the opening 20, as shown in dotted lines at 34, where the string is desired to be led downwardly. The string will lead from the package in either case without the necessity of rotating the package.
We claim:
1. A string package comprising a cardboard core with string wound thereon, a, holder comprising a base plate extending at right angles to the axis of the core, said holder having a plurality of resilient arms of the same piece of material as said base plate extending into said core, a prong on each arm extending radially outwardly from the axis of the core into said core, said core being provided with a groove for each prong in the inner surface of said core extending axially and then circularly and in which grooves said prongs are located. Y
2. A string package as in claim 1 wherein said base has a central opening from the edge of which said arms extend.
3. A string package as in claim l wherein said base has a central opening from the edge of which said arms extend and said core is conical having an opening in its upper end through which the string extends.
