BOTTLE-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 367,208, dated July 26, 1887.

Application filed February 525, 1887. Serial No. 228,909. (No model.) I

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUSTIN FREDERICK JACKSON, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, at present residing in Taunton, Eris: tol connty, Massachusetts, United Szates of America, have invented a new'and useful Improvementin Bottle-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

Holders for wine-bottles have been constructed of a metallic casing formed of two parts hinged together, and alsoof an integral body and a detachable base.

My invention is an improvement in this particular class of bottle-holdersfand is embodied in the construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of bottle holder, part being broken out. Fig. 2 is a front view of its lower portion. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on line :0 as, Fig. 1, of the holder and bottle therein. Fig. 4 is a perspective viewof thedetachable base, and Fig. 5 is a plan view of body A of bottle-holder inverted. 7

The letter A indicates the integral bodyor main portion of the bottlecasing, B the ban dle, and C the detachable base or bottom thereof. All these parts are made in suitable metals and plated externally with silver, or other metal which will impart the desired ornamental finish.

The body A conforms to the general shape of achampagne or other wine bottle, and is made integral with the handle B, which is arranged in vertical position and forms an ornamental portion of the complete holder. The body A has a circumferential rib, a, that prevents it entering the cup shaped base C too far. The latter has a similar rib, and is constructed with perforated lugs 1 2, which are located exteriorly contiguous to its edge or rim, and the body A has correspondinglylocated pins, 1 2, which project horizontally in opposite directions and are adapted to enter the holes or sockets in said lugs 12. The body-lug 1 is made ornamental in form, and'the base of pin 1, on the base C, corresponds, so that when brought together they have the appearance of a single symmetrical ornament affixed to the front side of the holder. In brief, the essential thing is that the said lug andpin shall have such construction as will not detract from the orna- The ribs a mental appearance of the holder. also conceal the joint between the parts A C, and hence the holder presents exteriorly a far more ornamental appearance than others of its class. It is also much stronger and more durable, owing to the body being made solid or integral, and also integral with the handle. The joint-fastenings are,moreover,strong,while at the same time simple in construction.

In practical use the bottle of wine to be served at table, having been previously cooled to the desired degree, is inserted-in the integral body portion A of the holder, and the base C applied and locked thereto, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3that is to say, 'the bottle is first inserted in the body portion A, and then the base C is applied so that the ribs a meet, the lugs 1 and 2 and pins 1 and 2 being of course separated ornot in contact, as shown in dotted lines, Fig. 3. The base 0 is next turned to the left, as shown by arrow, Fig. 3, to bring the pins 1 and 2into engagement with the socket or lugs 1 and 2, as shown in full lines, Figs. 1, 3. The pin 3, secured by chain 4, is then inserted in the hole in in 2, thus locking the two parts of the bottleholder together and securing the bottle therein.

To release the bottle, it is obviously only necessary to remove thespringpin and then turn the base C to the left, thereby drawing the pins 1 2 out of the sockets'in lugs 1 2. Both the body A and. base C are lined with flannel or some other soft material, which not only serves to cushion the casing, so as to prevent rattling of the bottle within it when the holder is in use, but serves also as a nonconductor of heat, so that the contents of the bottle confined in the holder are kept cool for a long time.

What I claim is- The improved article of manufacture, consisting of the bottleholder formed of the bottle shaped body A, having pins 1 and 2, projecting horizontally in opposite directions, and the detachable'eupdike base C, having the perforated lugs or sockets 1 and 2, all as shown and described.

AUSTIN FREDK. JACKSON.
