. Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 1, 1905.

Appleman flied August 23,1904. serial No. 221,868,

i prove the constructionof twine-holders and .to provide a simple, inexpensive, andefiicient ydevice adapted to bejplaced on a shelf or'other )support at an elevation andl at a point remote from the counter and capable of ready adjustment to arrange the free end-of the twine i .over` the counter or at any other desired point.

A further object of the invention ,is to prol vide a twine-holder of thischaracteradapted to enablethe'twine or Vcord to freely un- .wound from a ,spool or cone and5capable--of effectually preventingthe same from becoming caught or ta ngled. f

. vWith these andother objects infview the invention consists in the construction and no vel combination andarrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the ,accompanying drawings, and pointed yout in the claims hereto appended,'it being understood that var ionschanges in. the form, proportion, size and minor details of construc- `tion within vthe scope ofthe claims bere:F I sorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any'of the advantages fof the invention.`y

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a prspectiye view of a twine-holder 'constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. ..2 is aside elevation, partly in section, Fig. Sfis ahorizontal sectional view Von the line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. '4 isan enla'ngfed detail perspective view of the top bar which'constitutes the inner section of the extensible arm of the twineholder. the line 5 5 of Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is a detail sectional view illustrating the construction of the telescopic sections of the extensible twinesupporting arm.

Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the gures of the drawings.

1 designates a frame composed of a base 2, front and rear standards 3 and 4, and a top bar 5, which constitutes the innermost section of anfextensible twine-receiving arm, which is supported by the frame and which is Fig. 5 is a detail sectional view on adapted to be adjusted to cause the free end 6 of a spool or cone of twine to be arranged overa counter or at any v other convenient point at distance from the spool ori cone. The frame, which is preferably constructed ofcast metal, may be made of any other desiredmaterial, and the base, whichjs preferably provided witl 1 an enlarged central circular portion, is designed to be secured by screws Z to the `supporting-surface, suitable perforations being provided forthe screws, as indicated in Fig. 3 ofthe drawings.4 The frame may be conveniently placed upon the top ofa row of shelving,- asindicated in Fig. 1 of the drawings, orv it may beplaced onany one'of lthe. shelves or upon any other suitable support, as willbe readily understood. The base of thel frame is also-provided with a ver; tically-disposed coneS, f preferably hollow, as shown, and adapted to receiy-e th. twine, which is fitted on the cone and-which is unwound therefrom without rotating-the entire mass of oord lontvvirlfo.- i f -4 Thetop bar Ais provided at a point directly obloveftho Cono withasuido-.oponng 9 for .theftwineywhich extends through the, top bar at that point, whereby when ythe twine is pulled it ,readily unwinds from the ball or cene without 'rotating the same.E The front portion of the top 'is enlarged-laas 4clearly vshown in Figs. 2 and 4: of the drawings, and

is provided; longitudinal groove 10, having a flat fbottomand inwardly and up, w-ardly inclined side walls and adapted to. receive.. an intermediate ,telescoping section 11, which .is substantiallytrough-shaped, being composed of` a3- flat `bottom and upwardly and inwardlyinclinedside walls 12,' which form a` groove or. way similar in shapeto the groove of the top b ar 5, but of less diameter than .the same'. The innermost section receives a sub,- stantially trough -shaped outer. section 1 3, which is also composed of a flat bottom and inwardly-inclined side walls. By this construction the sections are slidably interlocked and are adapted to telescope or slide on one another, and they form an extensible arm, which is adapted to project any distance within the capacity of the device to support the free end of the twine at a convenient point and to enable the mass of cord or twine to be arranged out of the way and in convenient position for renewing the twine when the same is consumed. The top bar 5 is provided at the in` tends through the hollow sections-the grooves performing the double function of slidably receiving the sections and the twine, which is y thereby guided to the outer end of the outermost section and is etfectually prevented from becoming caught or tangled. The outermost section isv provided near its outer end with a guide-opening 15, through which the twine passes. By this construction the twine may be readily unwound or unreeled from the cone or spool at a considerable distance beyond the same. Any number of telescoping sections may be provided, and the sections may be constructed of any desired length. When a cone or ball of twine is consumed, a new ball or cone may be readily placed in the frame and may be quickly threaded through the extensible arm for use.

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

1. A twine-holder provided with an extensible twine receiving and guiding arm having a longitudinal groove for the twine.

2. A twine-holder, comprising a frame having a twine receiving base provided with means for mounting it on a support, twinereceiving means carried by the base, and an arm arranged at the top of the frame and provided with a longitudinal groove, said arm being also provided at a point above the twine-receiving means with a guide-opening for the twine.

' 3. In a twine-holder, the combination with twine-receiving means, of front and rear standards, and a twine-receiving arm supported by the standards and extending beyond the same and provided with a longitudinal twine-receiving guide or way extending to the outer end of' the arm.

4. A twine-holder, comprising a frame having front and rear standards and provided with a connecting base, twine receiving means mounted on the base and extending upward therefrom, and a twine-receiving arm connecting the standards and extending beyond the same and provided above the twine-receiving means with a guide-opening, said arm being also provided in advance of the guide-opening with a longitudinal groove forming a guide or way for the twine and extending to the outer end of the arm.

5. A twine-holder, comprising a frame having front and rear standards and provided with a connecting base, twine receiving means mounted on the base and extending upward there from, and a twine-receiving arm connecting the standards and provided above the twine-receiving means with a gude-ol'iening, said arm being also provided in advance of the guide-opening with a longitudinal groove and having a guide-notch at the rear end of the groove.

6. A twine-holder provided with an extensible arm embodying an inner section having a longitudinal groove, and a movable section slidable in the groove and provided with a corresponding groove, said grooves also forming guides for the twine.

7. A twine-holder provided with an extensible arm embodying an inner section provided throughout a portion of its length with a longitudinal groove having upwardly and inwardly inclined side walls, and a slidable section fitting within the said groove and having upwardly and inwardly inclined side walls forming a groove, said grooves being adapted to receive the twine.

8. A twine-holder provided with an extensible arm embodying an inner section provided with a longitudinal groove having inwardly and upwardly inclined side walls, said inner section being also provided with a guide located beyond the groove, and a plurality of slidable sections telescoping within the said groove and having upwardly and inwardly in clined side walls, one of the sections being provided at its outer end with a guide.

9. A twine-holder, comprising a frame having a twine-receiving base and provided at the top with a lixed section having a longitudinal groove, said fixed section being also provided beyond the groove with a guide-opening for the twine, and a plurality of slidable sections having grooves and arranged in the groove of the fixed section, one of the slidable sections being also provided with a guide-opening for the twine.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
