WATE RME LON-CARRIER.
No. ss 2,sos.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented March 24, 1908.
Application filed October 19, 1907. Serial No. 398,301.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CLARENCE A. W001)- WARD, citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore city, State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful'lmprovements in Watermelon-Carriers, of which the following is a specification.
This invention contemplates certain new and useful improvements in package and article carriers, and relates particularly to a device designed especially for carrying watermelons.
The invention has for its object an improved device of this character which may be very cheaply made and which embodies very few parts of simple, and durable construction that may be readily assembled and that will be efficient in operation, and the invention consists in certain constructions and arrangements of the parts that I shall hereinafter fully describe and claim.
For a full understanding of the invention, reference is to behad to thefollowing description and accompanying drawings, in which;
Figure 1 is a view illustrating my improved carrier secured to a watermelon, and Fig. 2 is a-detail perspective view of the carrier detached.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all'the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.
My improved watermelon carrier comprises two hooks 1 which are formed of strips of brass or steel, or other sufliciently stiff metal or material of less width than length and which comprise two members disposed at an acute angle with respect to each other as shown. One of these members is sharpened or pointed at its outer end, as indicated at 2, and the other member is formed at its extremity with an aperture 3. These two hooks 1 are connected together by a flexible suspension member 4 in the nature of a cord or chain, preferably the former, the ends of the cord being merely inserted through the apertures 3 in the respective hooks 1 and tied to the hooks as shown. A hollow handle 5,
of wood or any other substance or material is slipped over the suspension cord 4, before either one or both ends of said cord are attached to the hooks.
In the practical use of my improved watermelon carrier, the hooks 1 are applied to the opposite sides of the melon at the proper points thereon, according to the size of the melon, and the pointed or spur members 2 are caused to penetrate the rind so as to partially embed the hooks therein, whereupon it is obvious that the melon may be easily carried suspended from the device, by the operator merely grasping the handle 5.
From the foregoing description in connection with the accompanying drawing, it will be seen that I have provided a very cheap and simple watermelon carrier embodying only four parts, and one that may be easily stored away in one s pocket until desired for use and one that may be easily applied to the melon to suspend the same from the handle 5, irrespective of the size of the melon, as the device is manifestly adaptable to any size melon, owing to the entire independence of the two hooks 1.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
The herein described watermelon carrier, consisting of a handle, a suspension cord on which said handle is mounted and two independent hooks, each of said hooks consisting of a relatively narrow strip embodying two members disposed at an acute angle to each other, one of said members of each hook being tapered to a point so as to penetrate the rind of a melon, and the other member of each hook being formed with an aperture, the ends of the suspension cord being inserted through and tied in the apertures. and terminating thereat, as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I afliX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
CLARENCE A. WOODWARD. [1 s] lVitnesses:
JOHN B. MoGRAw, AUGUSTUS W. BRADFORD.
