TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Beit known that I,- GUSTAV JEDAMSKI, inthe city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Pen-Rack; and I do hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof, enabling those skilled in the art to fully understand and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in whichp Figure 1 represents a sectional front view of this invention.

Figure 2 is a transversesection thereof.

Similar letters of reference in the several. figures indicate like parts.

This invention relates to'the peculiar form and construction of the spring-jaws, which serve to clamp and retain pens, pencils, or other similar articles placed between them. l

A represents a stand or bed-plate, made of.- sheet metal or any other suitable material, inany desirable form or shape. From this bed-plate rise the spring-jaws B, which are arranged in pairs at suitable distances apart, as clearlyshownin the drawing.A These springj'aws, instead of being made of a simple straight pieceof sheet steel, Aas heretofore, are curved, so that a recess, a, is formed between them capable of receiving and holding a pen, pencil, or other similar article, and the parts b, above this recess, are curved out, and they form springs for themselves, whereby the entrance of the article to be held is facilitated, while the parts c of the spring-jaws below the recess a also form springs, which begin to act after the upper springs b have been forced apart to a certain distance. By these means each spring-jaw forms a double spring, one above and one below the recess a, andneither of these two springs is overstrained, as the pens, pencils, or other articles are forced in between them or removed from the same. I am thus enabled to produce durable spring-jaws of sheet brass, whereas the old spring-jaws could not be manufactured successfully of anything else but sheet steel.

My spring-jaws can bc stamped and made in a cheap and expeditiousmanner, and they are less liable to lose their elasticity or to get out of order than the old spring-jaws made of sheet steel and tempered, and the cost of the pen-rackis thereby materially reduced.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The spring-jaws B formed with a recess a, and double springs b e, substantially as and for the purpose described.

GUSTAV J EDAMSKI.
