CLIP. 011 NEWSPAPER HOLDER.
- APPLICATION FILED MAR. 14, 1908.

CLIP OR NEWSPAPER-HOLDER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
' Patented Aug. 11, 1908.
Application filed March 14, 1908. Serial No. 421,129.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ELIJAH L. WINEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at East Orange, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clips or Newspaper- Holders and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same,'reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to 'figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The objects of my invention are first to provide a clip or holder that is designed to be secured preferably to the front of a building, and arranged to hold a package of mail matter, a newspaper or any similar element, the holding being done by a spring action in the arms, the clip being made of wire for the most part, and second to rovide a holder of this kind that has means t ereon for allowing it to be manually withdrawn from the structure so that the holding portion, which has an extensive contact, has its end surface withdrawn from the element being held.
A further object is to provide the holder with means for uarding it against transverse strains, when the article being held is withdrawn, by pulling it from beneath the spring arms when the pull is to one side,'
which normally tends to distort holders of this kind.
A further object of the invention is to provide a holder with a gripping contact that is extensive, that is not contacting with the article to be held at only a small point of its surface, and this contact surface is so disposed that, when withdrawn from the structure on which it is fastened, it maintains its parallel relation thereto.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a face view of my improved device. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail showing a modified form of construction, and Fig. 4 is a face view of a holder of another modified form.
The holder consists of strands preferably made of spring wire and having parallel portions 10 which are normally approximately parallel with the surface of the su port 11 on which the device is fastened and bears. On their free ends the strands 10 are curved as at 12 and form the contacting strips 13 which are so formed as to cover considerable of the surface of the article 14 to be held, the strips 13 being bent back upon the strands 10 and being joined at their inner ends, the whole structure being preferably of one piece of wire. The ends of the wire are merged from the strands 10 into the bent portions 15 which pass as at 16, under and are held by a plate 17, and have their ends 18 projecting and resting beyond the pivotal or fulcrum point formed at 16, these projecting ends resting on a plate 19, thereby im arting the necessary spring action to the hol er. Screws 20 secure the holder to a support, and the rivet 21 is employed to hold the plates 17 and 19 together when the holder is removed from its sup ort.
In t e preferred form I install a post 22 which is surrounded by a coil 23 formed in the ends of the strips 13. A function of this post is to prevent the article 14 from distorting the holder, in which the article is held, if
the package is withdrawn suddenly or with considerable pressure in a'transversedirection or out of one side of the holder. If this post and its 100 were not there, the holder would become istorted and out of shape.
I may employ, if desirable, the construction shown in Fig. 3 as an alternative to that just described, in which case I pass the portion of the wire connecting the strips 13 around the post 22 as at 24. To provide for the raising of the holder for the insertion of a package or similar element therein, I connect the strands 10 with a tie 25 enveloping the strands as at 26, the strands being preferably oflset as at 27 to prevent the tie from moving along the strands. This tie provides a ready means for the postman, or any one operating the holder, to pull out the holder and insert the article to be held underneath the strips 13.
If desired I may make the holder as in Fig.
4 where the strands 10 are merged, as at 15, into loops 28 which are held in place by the screws 29 that are screwed into the structure holding the clip or holder. The dotted lines in Fig. 2 illustrate the contact of the strips 13, they being flat against the article to be held and not apt to crease or mar the same, and forming a positive holder, since the surface in contact is large and the frictional engagement is sufficient to hold a good size package.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A newspaper holder comprising a spring I wire having its'ends secured to a support and being bent into strands arranged approximately parallel to and at a distance from the surface of the support, and then being bent into strips to engage the surface of the support, and a tie connecting the strands to provide for the manual manipulation of the holder.
2. A paper holder comprising a pair of plates, means for securing the plates to asupport, the plates forming a recess between them, a pair of wires having their ends passing through the recess and the free ends being bent and engaging one of the plates, the wires then being bent away from the support and then in strands, the projecting end of the strands being bent toward the support and then to form strips in contact with the surface of the support to normally engage the support by the spring action of the wire.
3. A paper holder comprising a pair of plates, means for securing the plates to a sup port, the plates forming a recess between them, a pair of wires having their ends passing through the recess and the free ends being bent and engaging one of the plates, the wires then being bent away from the support and then in strands, the projecting end of the strands being bent toward the support and then to form strips in contact with the surface of the support to normally engage the support by the spring action of the wire, and a post projecting from the support, the strands where they join being bent to form a loop to engage the post.
In testimony, that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand this 13th day of March 1908.
