SANDPAPER-HOLDER.

sencrmcarrow forming part of Letters Patent No. 734,954, dated July as, 1903'.

Application filed March 18, 1908.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that LFREDERICK REISSMANN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Westpoint, in the county of Orange and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefullmprovements in SandpaperIIolders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention, as will be hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claim, has relation to holders for sandpaper, emery-paper, or the like; and it consists of certain novel features of combination and construction of parts, the preferred form whereof will be clearly set forth in the following specification, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shows a perspective view of my invention complete,ready foruse,prepared with sand or emery paper. Fig. 2 is an end elevation thereof, showingthe paper in the process of being secured in its operative position, while Fig. 3 is an end view showing the paper secured in place and also showing a slightly-modified construction for the body portion or holder proper.

In carrying out my invention I provide a suitable hand-block or body portion 1, formed of any desired material, having upon one side a yielding cushion or bed 2, formed of felt or other preferred material deemed suitable for the purpose, and over this yielding cushion or bed-section 2 the sand or emery paper is disposed in the manner illustrated in Fig. 2, the piece of sandpaper being designated by the numeral 3 and is of sufficient length to extend over the two edges of the body portion 1, the free ends of the paper being secured by means of the clamping-bails 4.-. These bails, as will be clearly observed by reference to the drawings, consist of a piece of wire or rod bent in the form of bails and having each end bent inwardly toward each other to form the anchoring branches 5, which latter take into suitable apertures 6, provided in the end of the block, preferably near the middle portion thereof.

The bail-like clamps 4, it will be observed, are of proper size to swing upward to the up- Serial No. 147,636. (No model.)

per side of each edge'of the body portion, so that the'free edge of the sandpaper will be reliably engaged thereby and clamped or locked I in an adjusted position.

In order to more securely hold the bails in an adjusted position to clamp the free edge of the sandpaper, I provide each edge of the block or body portion 1, preferably near the middle section thereof, with an anchoringlug 7, which may be readily and cheaply provided by driving a tack into the body portion at a proper point, so that the middle portion of the bail will spring over the same. By this arrangement the tensile property of the bail is utilized, inasmuch as said bail may be caused to spring over the tack head or lug 7 and tightly clamp the free edge of the paper after it has passed said lug. By providing the lug 7 each of the bails is held against casual reverse movement, though said bails may again be freely sprung over the lug 7 and swung around under the body portion when it is desired to remove or replace the sandpaper.

It will be observed that each of the bails swing in the arc of a circle, while the body portion is so formed that the bails cannot pass the upper edge thereof, thus insuring that the bail will be securely held in place between the upper side of the tack and the upper edge of the body-section, thereby disposing each of the bails in such position that they will afford a hand grasp or handle whereby the body portion may be more conveniently manipulated.

In some instances I provide the body-sec tion as shown in Fig. 3 and indicated by the numeral 8, wherein it will be observed that the upper portion is extended slightly outward upon each edge, as indicated by the numeral 9, said extended edges afiording a handle or grasping portion, and at the same time each of the bails 4 is disposed conveniently out of the way. I also provide the lugs 7, adapted to engage the bails after they have been moved upward to the proper extent and insure that said bails will when sprung over the lugs securely clamp the edge of the paper, as in the other views.

It is thought that the form of construction presented in Fig. 1 will be found amply sufficient for meeting all requirements for a reliably eflicient sandpaper-block, though I re serve the right to shape the body as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, as I may find most desirable in practice.

Believing that the advantages, manner of using, and constructing my improved sandpaper-holder have thus been made clearly apparent, furtherdescription is deemed unnecessary.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The herein described sandpaper holder comprising a suitable body portion 1, combined with a pair of anchoring-bails pivotally FREDERICK REISSMANN.
