GLOBE-SUSPENDING- DEVICE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 27, 1908.
Application filed October 28, 1907. Serial No. 399,409.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS H. COSTELLO, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Globe Suspending Devices, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to globes ordinarily used for educational purposes, and particularly that variety to which adjustment of the inclination of the axis is made in connection with a suspending means instead of a stationary stand or support.
The object of my invention is to provide globes of said character with a means of suspension which shall be simple and cheap and to which adjustment may be given without undue friction or binding of the parts upon each other.
The principles of my invention are illustrated in the drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a sus pended globe; Fig. 2 represents a portion of a globe meridian with attaching clips and connecting yoke; Fig. 3 is a top view of the same; Fig. 4 shows an alternative view of my invention; Fig. 5 is a top view of the same; Fig. 6 is a cross section taken on the line 6-6 of Fig. 2; Fig. 7 is a cross section taken on the line 7-7 of Fig. 4; Fig. 8 is a cross section taken on the line 8-8 of Fig. 4, and Fig. 9 shows an application of the device shown in Fig. 4 to a double faced meridian.
Further describing my invention with reference to the drawings, in which like characters of reference denote like parts throughout: 1 represents a globe mounted in the meridian 2.
3 is a slotted clip having a suspending member 4. Within the slot are placed the jaws 5, having the inwardly facing points 6 adapted to engage the horizontal flanges 7 of the meridian 2. Two clips as described are provided identical in construction and they are rigidly secured at a fixed distance from each other by means of the yoke or spreader 10. The ends of said yoke are placed within the arms of the clip 3 and then secured, together with the jaws 5, by a screw 11 which passes through one of the arms of the clip 3 and engages the corresponding arm on the other side. A pointer 12 midway of the yoke is adapted to indicate the inclination given to the axis in the globe and a thumb screw 13 in one of the jaws 5 is adapted to bear on the meridian and secure it in any desired position.
A modification of the invention is shown in Fig. 4 as ap lied to a single faced meridian. A slotted clip 5 is adapted to take the yoke 7 midway of its length and also to hold the indicator 12. The arms of the yoke or spreader are turned downwardly so that their extremities 7 bear flat upon the plane side or rear of the meridian ring, and the whole is held in secure enga ement therewith by the clips 5 having the c aws 6 which pass'under the flange 7 of the meridian to engage and support the same. In this form of my device the yoke 7 is centrally off-set at the point at which it passes through the clip 5 so as to give a roperly balanced suspension. The device ast de scribed is also a plicable to the suspension of a double faced meridian by so forming the ends of the yoke 7 that they will pass around and under the one flange of the meridian ring while a clip 5 applied to the other side of the yoke engages the corresponding flange on the other side of the meridian, thus making a secure and evenly balanced support.
I claim:
1. In combination with a globe and a meridian ring provided with flanges on either side, a yoke, means on the ends of said yoke for engaging the flanges of the ring, and means attached to the yoke for supporting the globe and its attachments.
2. In combination with a globe and a meridian ring provided with flanges on either side, a plurality of clips adapted to engage the flanges of the meri ian, and a yoke to secure the clips in rigid relation to each other.
3. In combination with a globe and its meridian ring, a balancing yoke, means for supporting the same, clips at either end of the yoke having slots in which said yoke ends are seated, means for engaging the meridian ring seated in said slot, and means for securin said meridian engaging means and the yo e ends in the slots.
4. In combination with a globe and a meridian ring having a flange on one side thereof; a supporting yoke having downturned ends adapted to bear on one side of the meridian, and clips secured to the yoke to engage the flange on the other side of the meridian.
5. In combination with a globe and a meridian ring having flanges on either side thereof; a supporting yoke having downturned ends adapted to engage the flange on one side of the meridian, and clips secured to the yoke to engage the flange on the other side of the meridian.
6. In combination with a globe and a meridian ring having flanges on either side thereof; a supporting yoke having downturned ends adapted to engage the meridian on one side thereof, and lugs secured to the yoke near its end to engage the flange on the other side of the meridian.
7. In combination with a globe and a meridian ring having a flange on either side nesses.
