GEORGE P. VOSBRINK, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

WIRE POT-LID HOLDER OR WALL-POCKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 794,436, dated July 11, 1905.

Application filed January 16, 1905, Serial No. 241,399-

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE P. VOSBRINK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ohicago, in the State of Illinois, have invented a simple wire pot-lid holder or wall-pocket to be used as a receptacle for the purpose of holding pot-lids or other round kitchen utensils standing on edge and nested when not in use and to be made entirely of wire, the holder to hang against and on the wall by a hook or other fastener, of which the following is a specification.

The following description and drawing accompanying same are sufficient to enable any person skilled in wire-goods manufacturing to make and construct my said invention.

In the drawing forming a part of this specification the figure is a perspective view of the pot-lid holder constructed in accordance with my invention.

A A consists of a round hoop of wire with a loop at the top thereof B, said loop to be used for the purpose of hanging the said pot-' lid holder on a hook or other fastener, said round hoop of wire A A being connected and clenched at the bottom 0, forming a complete hoop, a cross-piece of wire D, fastened to each side of the hoop at E E and running across same about the middle, and two (2) uprights of wire F F, clenched to hoop A A at the bottom and running up and being clenched at the top,completing the back part or foundation, a cross-piece of wire G, bent at angles L L near the end, causing said wire G to curve outward to permit a space or receptacle for the holding of the pot-lids, said wire G to be clenched at the sides of the hoop at E E, two wire upright supports H H clenched to the cross-piece G and bent at angles M M near the bottom end and clenched to hoop at O O. This arrangement forms a safe receptacle for pot-lids, the front part being open far enough from the back to allow the placing of a lid or a nest of lids on edge in the holder or basket.

This invention is a handy, cheap, and serviceable kitchen utensil for the purpose intended.

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

1. A skeleton frame for a wall-pocket composed of suitable material comprising in combination a strip bent to oval or circular shape with the ends connected to each other to form a back piece, a strip connected at its ends to the opposite sides of said back piece about midway of its height, and extending horizontally outward and spaced therefrom, and supports extending from said strip to the bottom of the back piece, whereby a pocket is formed adapted for the reception of circularlyshaped articles.

2. A skeleton frame for a wall-pocket com posed of suitable material comprising in combination a strip bent to oval or circular shape with the ends connected to each other to form a back piece, a strip connected at its ends to the opposite sides of said back piece about midway of its height, and extending horizontally outward and spaced therefrom, and supporting-strips connected to said horizontal strip extending downwardly therefrom, bent approximately at right angles and attached to the back-piece strip at the bottom, whereby a pocket is formed adapted for the reception of circularly-shaped articles.

3. A skeleton frame for awall-pocket composed of suitable material comprising in combination a strip bent to oval or circular shape with the ends connected to each other to form a back piece, bracing-strips lying in the interior and in the plane of the back piece and connected at their ends to the sides thereof,

one of said strips lying horizontal and others running up and down but nearer together at the top than at the bottom, a strip connected at its ends to the opposite sides of said back piece about midway of its height, and extending horizontally outward and spaced therefrom, and supports extending from said strip to the bottom of the back piece, whereby a pocket is formed adapted for the reception of circularly-shaped articles.

4:. In a skeleton wall-pocket composed of strips of wire, a strip bent to an oval or circular shape and having its ends connected to form a back piece, a horizontal brace extending outwardly therefrom, and supporting-strips I across said back piece about the center thereconnected to said horizontal strip and to the of, having its ends connected to the sides lower portion of said back piece, whereby a thereof, brace-strips having their ends conpocket is formed adapted for the reception of 5 nected to the sides of the back piece and dicircularly-shaped articles.

verging from each other as they extend from GEO. P. VOSBRINK. the top to the bottom thereof, a supporting- Witnesses: strip connected at its ends to said back piece PAUL RoZEK,
