LETTER AND PARCEL HOLDER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented April 18, 1909.
Application led. June 30, 1908. Serial No. 441,257.
To all whom it may concern: n
Be it known that l, MAnIDA C. Lone, a citizen of the United States, and a resident ol' Newton township, in the county ol' Buchanan and State of low-a, have invented certain new and usel'ul Improvements in Letter and Parcel Holders, oi' which the l'ollowing is a specification.
My invention is an improvement in letter and parcel holders and consists in certain novel constructions and combinations ol' parts hereinafter' described and claimed.
The object ol' the invention is to provide a device for facilitating the work of mail clerks and to save twine used in securing packages of letters and parcels.
Referring to the drawings forming a part hereof Figure 1 is a perspective view ol' the improvement applied to a bundle. Fig. 2 is a top plan View showing the disk in dotted lines. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section, and Fig. 4 is a side view partly in section showing` the catch down.
The present embodiment ol' my invention comprises a plate A., having one oi' its ends bent as at B, at a right angle to the plate, the l'ree end of the angular portion being bent parallel with the plate as at (l. rlhe opposite end ol the plate is bent backwardly upon itself as at D on the upper l'aoe ol the plate, a closed loop E being 'formed at the junction of the bent over portion and the plate proper, for receiving a loop F in one end ol' a string G. The free end oi the bent over portion D is bent downwardly as at H, and passes through a slot l in the plate.
The plate is bent slightly downward as at K adjacent to the loop E, the bent over portion adjacent to the loop resting thereagainst, so that the free end thereof is nor- ?ally pressed upward as clearly shown in ooncavedisk M is secured at the center of the plate by a rivet N, the conoavity being upward, and the edge of the disk is engaged by the spring portion D, to limit the upward movement thereof. The side edges ol' the plate are bent downwardly as at O to lorm flanges.
The device is used as follows: The plate is laid on the package to be secured with the disk upward, and at approximately the longitudinal center of the package. The string is then brought upwardly once around the package and between the spring and the disk, and thence at right angles around the package in a transverse direction, and encircling the disk twice, passing between the spring portion and the disk each time.
The'pit-frtions B and C .novide a hook for hanging the vfastener up when not in use, and they may be supported by a Slat, side by side to place them in convenient position.
lt will be observed thatthe lower Vlace ol the disk is comparatii'fely close to the upper lace ol' the plate, so that one or two turns ol the string around the disk will Ylirinly wedge the string between the disk and the plate.
I claim:
1 A device oi' the class described comprising a plate having at one end a downwardly projecting hook, and at the other a resilient return portion provided with an angular end, 'the plate having a slot through which said angular end passes, a loop being Al'ormed at the junction of the return portion with the plate, a concave disk secured to the plate with its convex 'l'ace downward at approximately the center thereof, the l'ree end ol the return portion contacting with the lower 'lace of the disk, and a cord secured in the loop l'or the purpose set forth.
2. A device el' the class described comprising a )late having at one end a hook, and at the ot ier a resilient return portion provided with an angular end, the plate having a slot through which the end passes, a concave disk secured to the plato with its convex 'lace downward, the 'free end of the return portion contactingl with the lower vface ci' the disk, and a cord connected with the plate at the junction ol' the return portion therewith.
3. A device of the class described comprising a plate having a resilient return portion, a concave disk secured to the plate with its convex vface downward, the vl'ree end of the resilient return portion contacting with the lower 'l'acc o'l` the disk, and a cord connected with the plate at the junction o'l` the return portion therewith.
A device ol' the class described comprising a plate having a resilient return portion, a disk secured to the plate and contacting with the 'free end ol' the return portion, and a cord connected with the plate at the junction ol' the return portion therewith.
