use the same.
My invention relates to improvements in racks or holders for lantern-globes and the like; and it consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
The object of the invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive rack of this character which is particularly adapted for use on railwaytrains, in cabooses, and baggagecars.
The above and other objects, which will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, are accomplished by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of a lanternglobe rack constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse sectional view taken on the line 3 3 in Fig. 2, and
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the swinging brackets.
Referring to the drawings by numeral, 1 denotes myimproved rack, which is adapted to hold lantern-globes or similar articles and which comprises a frame consisting of a base 2 and a back 3, secured at right angles to the base by end braces 4. The back 3 is adapted to be secured in any desired manner upon the side wall of a caboose or baggage-car or of a room in which the device is to be used so that the base 2 is supported in a horizontal position. The support or frame may be of any desired length, so that one or more lanternglobes or other articles may be placed thereon; but in the accompanying drawings I have shown the rack as adapted for holding six lantern-globes. Arranged upon the top of the base 2 at suitable intervals are upwardlyprojecting studs or posts 5, which are preferably cylindrical in form and covered by a textile fabric 6 or any other suitable material adapted to serve as a cushion. These cushioned projections 5 are adapted to receive the bases of the lantern-globes, and the latter are retained thereon by swinging brackets 7, which are adapted to be engaged with the tops or upper ends of said globes. These brackets 7 are preferably though not necessarily, constructed by bending pieces of wire, as clearly shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings, so as to form a central loop 8 to engage the globetop, a finger-piece 9 at the forward end of said loop, and two oppositely projecting arms 10 at the rear end of said loop. The arms 10 form pivots for the bracket and are journaled in bearing plates or brackets 11, which are secured upon the back 3 of the de vice. Surrounding the inner portions of the arms 10 between the bearings 11 is a coiled spring 12, which has one of its ends secured to the bracket 7 and its opposite end engaged with the back 3, so as to force the said bracket normally downwardly toward the base 2. This downward movement of the bracket is limited by stops 13, which are formed by bending the outer ends of the arms 10 at right angles, so that they engage the wall 3 to prevent the loop 8 of the bracket 7 from swinging below 'a horizontal plane, as will be readily seen upon reference to Fig. 3 of the drawings.
The construction, use, and advantages of the invention will be readily understood from the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings. It will be seen that when it is desired to place a lanternglobe upon the rack one of the brackets 7 is swung upwardly, so that the top of the globe may be inserted in the loop 8 andv its base then engaged with the cushioned projection 5. The bracket 7 is then released, so that its spring will swing it to a horizontal position to retain the globe upon the base 2, as shown in the drawings.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is
A rack of the character described comprising a support consisting of a base and a back, a cushioned projection upon said base adapt- In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing Wit- 1o nesses.
