SPRING CLIP.
No. 327,744. Patent dOot. 6, 1885.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SMITH A. XVATERMAN, OF \VEST TROY, NEW YORK.
SPRING-CLIP.
@PECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 327,744, dated October 6, 1885.
Application filed May 14, 1885.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, SMITH A. WATER AN, a resident of West Troy, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Spring-Clips; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, that will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
Similar letters refer to similar parts in the several figures therein.
My invention relates to spring-clips adapted to be secured to a telephone-desk or other article upon which it is desired to hold in place a sheet of paper while writing upon the paper.
The object of my invent-ion is to provide a spring -clip for holding paper while being written upon, that can be easily and quickly attached to or detached from a telephoned'esk, side wall, or other article.
My invention consists in providing a plate or holding-clip with a springwire terminating at one end in a screw integral with the spring, or attached thereto, the clip and spring serving as a handle to insert the screw in diiferent objects, and the screw serving to hold the clip in place thereon, whereby the clip is easily and quickly attached or de tached.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a view in perspective of the clip detached. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of same. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the clip attached to a telephone-desk and holding a sheet of paper thereon.
A is a thin metallic plate or clip provided with a serrated edge, as shown, adapted to come in contact with the paper and firmly engage therewith, and secured to a wire bent to form the handle I), coil-springs c loop-spring 6, head (1, and gimlet-screw s, threaded as shown.
The clip is easily attached to any object of a soft or yielding natureas wood-by in serting the pointed end of the screw and turning the clip until the head d is drawn down firmly upon the object, by which great Serial No. 165,493. (No model.)
force is given to the spring to press the serrated edge of the clip down upon the surface of the object to which it is attached. By pressing upward and backward upon handle b until the force of the spring isovercome the clip is raised, and a paper, P, may be inserted between the serrated edge of the clip and object, as telephonedesk g.
It is well known by users of telephones that it is very diflicult to note down memoranda upon paper lying upon a telephonedesk with one hand while the other hand is necessarily occupied in holding the telephone, as the paper will not retain its place, especially when written upon by a lead-pencil, the friction of the pencil upon the surface of the paper being sufficient to cause the paper to follow some of the movements of the pencil,
which renders it almost impossible to make memoranda without something to hold the paper in place.
My detachable clip is also of great value upon other desks or supports having inclined surfaces, for the reason that a paperweight is useless upon inclined surfaces, and my clip, being easily attached and detached, can be quickly attached at the precise spot where it is most convenient, and changed from time to time, as desired. By having the screw secured to or a part of the spring it cannot be lost, as a detached screw might be, and the screw is easily inserted by turning the clip, without the use of a screw-driver.
The spring 0 maybe dispensed with entirely, the head at being connected with spring e directly, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2.
Vhatl claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A paperholder for telephone desks and analogous purposes, consisting of a metallic plate, a spring, and a screw, the spring being bent to form handle I), coil 0, loop 6, and head d, carrying the screw, whereby the device may be used as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto 'set my hand this 28th day of April, 1885.
