UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ADOLPH 1V. BUOHBINDER, JR, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
OPERA-GLASS HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 389,194, dated September 11, 1888.
Application filed April 21, 1888.
.To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ADOLPH W. Boon- BINDER, J r., a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the county of \Vayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Opera Glass Holders, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in opera glass holders; and the invention consists in its peculiar construction and mode of attachment, whereby the same may be folded against the side of the opcraglass when not in use and permit of the glass being carried in the ordinary case without taking the holder off, and whereby the holder is readily detachable and can be applied to any size or style of glasses, all as more fully hereinafter described.
In the drawings which accompany this specification, Figure l is a vertical central section through my holder, showing it folded against the side of the opera'glass. Fig. 2 is an elevation showing it as in use with the glass. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the clasp detached.
A represents the operaglass; B, the central stem of the frame of the glass; and O is the handle, the forward end of which is secured by means of the hinge D toa bifurcated spring clamp or clasp, E, the bifurcation of which is intended to allow it to embrace the central stem of the frame. The clasp E is made of spring sheet metal bent, as shown, to permit of clasping the cross-bar F of the frame of the opera-glass with sufficient force to securely attach the holder to the glass.
G is a hook attached to the handle, and H Serial No. 271.459. (No model.)
is an eye fastened on the rear end of the clasp and so arranged that when the hook is engaged into the eye, as shown in Fig. 2, the handle is extended at rightanglesto the frame of the opera glass, and may be thus held by the user with more comfort and convenience than in the ordinary manner of doing so.
If desired to place the gla s in its case, the handle can be readily folded against the side of the frame by detaching the hook G from the eye H; or, if desired, the device can be removed from the frame by pulling the clasp away from the cross-bar, the tension of the claspbeingtheonlymeansofholdingitthereon.
I am not aware that opera-glassholdcrs have been heretofore constructed wherein the means of detaching or folding theholder back against the frame were combined.
That I claim as myinventiou is- 1. In an opera-glass holder, the combina tion of the bifurcated spring-clasp, the folding handle pivoted thereto and adapted to fold parallel with the barrels of the opera-glass, and the fastener applied near the pivot of the handle, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
2. In an operaglass holder, the bifurcated spring-clasp E, the handle 0, the hinge D, and the hook G, the eye H, the parts being constructed and arranged to operate substantially as described.
In testimony whereofI affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses,.this 13th day of April, 1888.
ADOLPH W. BUCHBINDER, JR.
