GRIP FOR sHO E- POL ls HlNG CLOTHS.
SPECIFICATION formjmg part of Letters Patent No. 726,886, dated May 5, 1903.
Application filed January 18,1902. Serial No. 90,260. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be itknown that I, CHARLES L. DUBBORAW, a citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Grips for Shoe-Polishing Cloths,of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in grips for shoe-polishing cloths.
The object of the invention is to provide a simple, cheap, and efficient device which can readily be attached tothe ends of'a cloth used for polishing shoes and which will afford means whereby the said cloth can be firmly held in the hand without cramping the fingers of the user.
Other features of the invention will be fully set forth in the description of the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of myim proved grip attached to the end of a piece of cloth. Fig. 2 is a rear end view of same. Fig. 3 is a front end view of same. a vertical sectional view through the two'sections forming the grip. Fig. 5 is an end View of a modification of the two sections, one section being provided with a tongue and the other with a groove; and Fig. 6 is another modification in which the facing surfaces of the two sections are serrated. Fig. 7 is a front end view of the upper section of the grip.
Similar numerals" designate like parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, 1 designates the upper section, and 2 the lower sec tion, of the grip. These two sections 1 and 2 are the same inconstruction, the facing surface of each of said sections being provided with a tongue 3 and a groove 4:, the tongues 3 fitting into the grooves 4 when the said sections are brought together. The said sections 1 and 2 are held together at the rear by a hinge 5, secured thereto by the. screws 6. This hinge 5 permits the grip to be opened when it-is desired to insert a cloth between the two sections. The section 1' is provided on its upper surface with a small metal head 9, over which the clamp 7 rests when the two sections are clamped together. The front ends of the said sections 1 and 2-are held together by a clamp 7, pivoted to the lower sec- Fig. 4.15
While I have shown two sections held together at the rear by ahinge 5 and at the front by the clamp 7, it is obvious the same may be secured together by any other suitable means.
In Fig. 5 I have shown the upper section 10 provided with a groove ll'and the lower section 12 provided with atongue 13 to fit into the groove 11 when the two sections are brought together.
In Fig. 6 I have shown another modification in which the two sections 14 and 15 are provided with serrated facing surfaces 16.
Theoperation of the devioe is asl'follows: When it is desired to attach thegrips to the ends of the cloth, the clamp 7 is disconnected from the uppersection l, the tworsections opened, and the cloth placed with the end between the said sections, which are then closed and the'clamp 7 forced up'over the head 9, thereby locking the two sections together and firmly securing the grip to the end of the cloth. When the parts are in this position, the cloth will be forced tightly into ICO the grooves 4 by the tongues 3 and held 'se- 1 curely against any tendency to pull out from between the two sections.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- As an article of manufacture, a grip comprising two sections pivotally secured together at their rear ends; a small metal head mounted upon the upper surface of one section; and a resilient clamp having a straight end pivoted to the front of the other section, an approximately U-shaped bend projecting at right angles to said straight end, and the opposite end projecting over the upper section and adapted to be forced over the said metal head to hold the two sections together, whereby cloths of Varying thicknesses may be securely held between the two sections.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
CHARLES L. DURBORAW.
