HOSE-SUPPORTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 605,480, dated June 14, 1898.

Appiicaiiou nea lipiii 22, 1897.

T0 all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, DORA HARRISON, of Lansing, in the county of Ingham and State of Michigan, have invented a new and Improved Pneumatic Hose-Supporter, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved hose-supporter arranged to permit the user to conveniently and quickly attach or release the hose.

The invention consists principally of an attaching device provided with an eye, a loop hung in the Said eye, a pneumatic ball, and a link connecting the said pneumatic ball with the said eye. i

The invention also consists in certain parts and details and combinations of. the same, as will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure l is a front elevation of the improve- 4ment as applied. Fig. 2 is an edge view of the same with parts in section. Fig. 3 is a sectional side elevation of the improvement. Fig. 4 is a sectional plan view of the pneumatic ball on the line 4f 4 of Fig. 3. Fig. is a face view of the pneumatic-ball-plate blank. Fig. 6 is an enlarged perspective view of a modied form of the improvement, and 7 isa similar view of another modified form.

The improved hose-supporter, as illustrated in Figs. l to 5, is provided with anattaching device A,`made in the form of a chain and having its upper end provided with a link B for connecting the attaching device to a button or other support on a garment. The lower end of the attaching device A is provided with an eye C, .in which is hung a link D, connected at its free end with an eye E, formed on the4 ball-supporting plate E, carrying the pneumatic ball F, made of rubber or other elastic material. p

The pneumatic ball F is provided with a base F', a shank F2, and a hollow head F3, from which leads an opening F4 down through the shank and base to an aperture E3, formed in the ball-plate E. The latter is provided Serial No. 633,350. (No model.)

with flanges E2, adapted to be passed over onto the top of the base F of the pneumatic ball, so as to clench the latter in place on the ball-plate.

On theeye C of the attaching device A is also hung the ball-loop G, formed with the wide upper portion G for conveniently introducing the head F3 of the ball as well as a portion of the hose Epto be supported, the shank F2 of. the/sii'ihlban then siidingwith the material down into the narrow portion G2 of the said ball-loop to securely hold and lock the hose in place. (See Figs. l and 2.)

Now it will be seen that by the arrangement described the pivotal connection between the link D and the ball-plate E permits of conveniently introducing the head of the ball into the loop G, with the hose material covering the ball-head F3, and by having the ball-head F3 hollow it permits of compressing or squeezing the said'head, so as to conveniently detach the head with the material from the loop G whenever it is Vdesired to release the hose. The flanges F2 are cut out at their inner edges to conform to the shape of the shank F2 to prevent the ball from slipping off the ball-plate. (See Figs. 6 and '7.)

It is understood that upon placing the loop `G around the fabric and theshank F-2 the pressure on the latter closes the opening F4 and tightens the air cell or headF3 in such a manner as to allow no air to escape from the head. VBy this arrangement the loop is not liable to slip over the ball, asl no air escapes from the top.

As shown in Fig. 6, the ball F, plate E, and loop G are the same as described in the reference;to Figs. l and 2; but the link D is made of severalsections or in the form. of a chain,`so as to permit of conveniently introducing' the ball into the loop G.

As shown in Fig. 7, the attaching device Al` Y Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- In a hose-supporter, the combination with an attaching device, of a link pivoted thereto, a ball-supporting plate having an eye pivotally receiving the link, a pneumatic ball comprising a base, a shank, and a head, the base being laid on the ball-supporting plate and being held by anges formed on the latter, the' Io said ball-supporting plate having an ori'ce registering With the cavity in the ball, and a loop hun@F from said attaching device and capable o? embracing the pneumatic ball.V DORA HARRISON.
