UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JAMES I). LALOR, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
HOLDER FOR EMBROIDERIES.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 417,253, dated December 17, 1889.
Application filed March 21, 1889- Serial No. 304,193. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JAMES D; LALOR, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Holders for Embroidery, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
My invention is a holder and exhibitor of embroidery and the like, and is designed to hold a number of-pieces or samples of pieces of embroidery or like articles in such position that they can be examined without (lisarranging them or without removing them from the holder.
lleretofore it has been customary to keep the pieces or samples of embroidery or such articles in a box, and to exhibit each piece separately to the customer, and this made it a very difficult matter to keep the pieces in order and required a collection of the pieces after each sale and their restoration to the particular box from which they were taken.
It is the object of my invention to provide a holder, to one end of which the pieces are clamped, one upon the other, with one end free, so that it may be lifted and the piece 01' pieces beneath examined, and in making this holder of such size that it may be inclosed in an ordinary box, such as is now provided for the embroidery, and thus when the contents of any box are to be examined the holder is removed with the pieces and laid before the customer, who can inspect each piece without any disarrangement ot the pieces whatever.
In the accompanying drawing the ;tigure represents a perspective view of the invention with some of the material shown in place.
In the drawing, A represents the foundation-board, which may be made of one or more pieces, and may be polished or ornamented in any desired manner. It is preferably of a size adapted to be handled easily and to fit within the ordinaryboxes now used for holding embroidery and such articles. Near one end, on each side, I secure upright posts a a, which are held to the baseboard by screws or clamps, as desired or found necessary. These posts have racks b fitted in grooves on their inner faces, with teeth projecting downwardly, the upper faces of the teeth being inclined. A clamping'bar B, for clamping the embroidery or other articles between its under surface and the base-board, carries spring-catches on its upper face, as shown at g, operated by a central handle e, and these catches engage with the racks carried on the posts a and retain the clamping-bar in whatever position it is forced into. The clamping-bar is provided with an opening at each end corresponding to the shape of the post a, and the posts pass through these openings, and in the up-anddown movement of the clamping-bar the .posts a are given support from the outward strain which comes upon them when the bar B has been clamped tightly upon the springy material beneath it. In order to add to this support, I provide angle-irons f, secured to the outer ends of the bar B, with their Vertical portions extending parallel with the posts a, and adapted to give them support against outward movement. As the catches are Springseated, the bar B can be forced downward over the inclined faces of the rack-teeth, the spring-catches being forced inward to allow this movement; but the bar cannot be moved upward without operating the handle which controls the catches. It will be seen, therefore, that in practice any number of pieces of embroidery or similar articles are placed upon the board A, with one end of each piece projecting beneath the clamping-bar B, and the bar is then forced down by grasping each outer end by the hand until the pieces of embroidery are under sufficient pressure to prevent their removal.
'lhes rin -catches en ageautomaticall with thelowest rack-tooth on each side in line with which the upper edge of the catch has been depressed, and the board may be then placed into its box with the pieces of embroidery firmly clamped thereto, and it may be taken out and exhibited without disar- IOO bar with catches thereon engaging with racks in the posts, substantially as described.
2. A holder for embroidery or the like, consisting of a base-board, vertical posts at one end thereof, racks in the said posts, a clamping-bar having openings corresponding to the posts fitting over the same, whereby support is given said posts against outward movement, and spring-catches carried by said clamping-bar, substantially as described.
3. A holder for embroidery or the like, consisting of a base-board,"ertical posts thereon, racks on the inner faces of said posts, a
clamping-bar having openings in each end adapted to fit over the posts, spring-catches carried by said bar and enga ing with the racks on the post, and an angular supportingbracket carried upon each end of the clamping-bar for supporting the posts against out- Ward movement, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
