PATENT OFFICE.
GOLF-BALL HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 776,101, a ed November 29, 1904.
Application filed October 9, 1902. Serial No. 12$,58. (No model.)
T0 at whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, WVILLIAM B. AND ER'ION, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improve ments in Golf-Ball Holders, of which the following is a specification.
The object of the invention is to provide a convenient device for holding a golf-ball while it is being painted or cleaned, which shall be of simple and inexpensive construction, convenient to use, and whereby soiling or the hands of the operator and marring the surface of the ball during the process of painting will be entirely avoided.
, The accompanying drawing shows a pre ferred form of holder made in accordance with the invention.
As shown, the holder is formed of a single piece of resilient wire bent to form arms land 2, connected at one end by a cross-bar 3 and having their free ends bent inwardly at substantially right angles and sharpened to Form prongs 4, adapted to engage the ball on opposite sides. The parts of the holder are so proportioned that the arms 1 and 2 shall be slightly divergent for a portion at least of their length, and a clamping-loop 5 is provided to slide on the arms and to act to force the free ends of the arms together, so as to press the prongs i against the golf-ball, and thereby firmly secure the ball in position between the prongs of the holder. To prevent the slide 5 from becoming separated from the holder, it is secured to one of the arms of the holder by means of a ring extending about the slide and one of said arms. This ring is conveniently formed by a split ring, as shown,
so as to enable it to be readily placed about the loop and holder-arm.
it will be seen that with such a holder the ball may be readily grasped and clamped between the prongs "of the holder. The holder will then provide a convenient handle for supporting the ball while the paint is being applied thcreto; After the ball is pain ted it may be readily released by moving the clampingloop and may be deposited on a suitable support for drying. It is evident that the holder may also be used for washing or cleaning old golf-balls, the ball being dropped into a suitable solution and allowed to remain long enough to loosen the old paint, after which the ball is grasped and clamped by the holder and the paint brushed therefrom. it is evident also that the holder may be used for painting or cleaning other articles.
What is claimed is- As a new article of manufacture, a holder for golf-balls and similar articles comprising a body portion formed of a single piece of resilient wire bent to form substantially parallel arms, providing a handle portion having corresponding divergent portions and having their free ends bent inwardly to form prongs for holding the ball, a clamping-loop adapted to slide on the diverging portions of the arms for forcing the prongs toward each other, and a ring for holding the clamping-loop to one of the arms, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name in the presence of the subscribing witnesses.
