Description
WILLIAM VAUDT, OF VANMETER, IOIVA.
NEWSPAPER-RACK.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 669,564, dated March 12, 1901.
` i Application filed May 10, 1900. erial No. 16|185. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM VAUDT, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing at Vanmeter, in the county of Dallas and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Im- V provements in Newspaper-Racks, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to provide a rack of simple, durable, and inexpensive papers are placed in each compartment.
My invention consists in certain details in the construction, arrangement, and combinationof the various parts of the device whereby the objects contemplated are attained, as hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in my claim, and illustrated in the accompap wardly within the limit of the slot 16.
nying drawings, in which- Figure 1 shows in perspective the complete rack. Fig. 2 shows a vertical sectional view of a portion of one of the side pieces of the rack-frame with one of the newspaper-holding devices in position therein.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, I have used the reference-numeral 10 to indicate the two parallel wooden side pieces of the frame. At the top and bottom of the frame these side pieces are connected by means of wooden cross pieces 11, and a screw-eye l2 in the central portion of the top of the cross-piece 11 provides means whereby the rack may be readily suspended from a nail. The newspaper-holding devices comprise pieces of spring-Wire, having one end thereof fixed in the side pieces 10 and projecting therefrom outwardly and upwardly, which support is indicated by the referencenumeral 13. A coil 14 is formed in the wire at the end of the part 13, and the other end 15 of the wire is curved upwardly and inserted in a vertical slot 1G, formed in the side piece lO above a point of attachment of the other end of Vthe wire. By this means it is obvious that the part 13 will be substantially rigid, while the part 15 will be normally held by means of the coil 14 in an upward direction, and yet be capable of moving downwill be seen upon referring to Fig. 1, these holders are arranged in pairs upon the side pieces 10, and a series of these holders is placed on the side pieces with the parts 13 of the upper pair of holders separated from the parts 15 of the lower pairof holders by a comparatively narrow space. The upper pair of holders obviously need not have the coils 14, and the slots 16 are also dispensed with, thus making a firm and rigid holder, (indicated by the reference-numeral 17.)
In practical use and assuming that the rack is supported upon a wall it is obvious that a newspaper may be firmly held between any of the pairs of holders by first folding it and then forcing it between the parts 15 and 13 of two pairs of holders. The part 15 will by reason of the movement permitted firmly engage the under side of the newspaper and force it against the rigid part 13 of the upper pair of the holders, and it is obvious, further, that when a quantity of newspapers is placed between any of the pairs of holders the parts 13 will spring downwardly suiicient to admit them, and by thus providing means whereby a single newspaper or even a number of them is yieldingly held it is obvious that when one newspaper is withdrawn from the rack the others will not be removed therefrom by the engagement of the edges of the newspapers with those in an adjacent pair of holders, such as might be the case if the newspapers were not yieldingly held. Furthermore, it will be noted that the individual holders are broader at their bases than at their outer ends. Hence the base portions of two adjacent holders are nearest to each other. Hence the insertion of a paper or magazine in the rachis made easy of accomplishment. The advantage of placing the free ends of the parts 15 in the vertical slots 16 is that by reason of such an arrangement the holders, which are made of one piece of wire and which have only one end 13 for permanently connecting them to the base, are prevented by means of said slot from twisting or turning upon the base. Obviously if this end l5 were not inserted in the slot the holders constructed after this manner could not be made to stand in perfect alinement.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States therefor, is-
IOO
frame, then curved inwardly with its end polo sitioned in: the adjacent slot, one of said holders being provided for each slot, so as to stand in pairs horizontally and in rows vertically substantially as, and for theipurposes stated.
