untrue/am: I I W W MYRON T. FISH, 0F ITHACA, NEW YORK.
LOSS-PREVEN TING DEVICE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 9, 1909.
Application filed November 16, 1908. Serial No. 462,886.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MYRON T. FISH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ithaca, in the county of Tompkins and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Loss-Preventing Device, of which the following is a s eeification.
The objects 0 the'invention are, generally, the provision in a merchantable form, of a device of the above mentioned class, which shall be inexpensive to manufacture, facile in operation, and devoid of complicated parts; other and further objects being made manifest hereinafter as the description of the invention progresses.
The inventlon consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described, delineated in the accompany ing drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that divers changes in the form, proportions, size, and minor details of the structure may be made without de arting from the spirlt or" sacrificing any 0 the advantages of the invention.
Similar numerals of reference are employed to denote corresponding arts throughout the several figures of the rawmgs.
In the accompanying drawings re 1 is a side elevation, partly in sectiong'j'i ig. 2 is a rear elevation; Fig. 3 is a top plan,
In carrying out my invention, I. rovide a car ing member, which, inthe'em odiment of t e lnvention selected as the subject of illustration takes the formof a cap 1. This cap 1 is a a ted to be usedin connection with'a fountain en, as a closure for cases in .which clinical t ermometers, tooth-brushes and the like are carried, or if desired it may be fashioned from resilient material and used as a cap for a lead'pencil or other cylindricalobjects commonly carried in the pocket.
I further provide a resilientclip adapted to be connected inseparably with the cap 1 and arranged to rotate about the said cap. This clip comprises a top member 2 and a resilient tongue 3,11aving its upper end integral with tongu the outer end of the top member 2, and being disposed substantiall at right angles to the top member 2. Tli is resilient tongue 3 tapers fromthe point of its attachment to the top member 2, to its free end 6 which as shown, is outwardly flexed. The resilient e 3 carries near its lower free end, a
plurality of corrugations 4. e top member 2 is provided with an aperture through which is passed a rivet 5 or like device adapted to the same end, the rivet being passed through the top of the cap 1, and headed upon the inside of the said cap, securing the resilient clip inseparably to the cap 1. However, in attaching the top member 2 to the cap 1, the rivet 5 is not malleated until the'top member 2 is drawn into close relation with the cap 1, suflicient play being allowed for the'top member 2 to rotate upon the rivet 5. v
I prefer that the resilient tongue 3 be spaced slightly-from the cap 1, and that the corrugations 4 which are bent into the tongue 3' be brought into contact with the cap as shown in Fig. l.
When the article upon which the cap 1 is mounted, is inserted into the pocket, the lower, outwardly flexed end 6 of the resilient tongue 3 will engage the upper edge of the pocket, and deflect the same between the resilient tongue 3 and the cap 1, the corrugations 4, engaging the outer face of the pocket and serving to hold the device securely in its place, By spacing the member 3 from the cap 1, I cause it to assume, when the article is inserted in the pocket, a position parallel to the face of the cap 1, preventing it from standin at an angle to the face of the cap 1 un er the wed ing action of the portion of the pocket w ich is inserted between the member 3 and the capvli" en a cap carrying a loss preventing device of the common sort, is removed from the stylus of the pen, and placed u on the upper or butt end thereof, it frequenfly ha pens that when the pen is grasped and t e act of writin begun, the loss preventing de-. vice is foun to occu y a position which seriously interferes with the use of the hand in writing. In my invention, should the resilient tongue 3 be found to be in the way of the hand, the normal pressure of the hand and fingers in grasping the pen-will cause the said resilient tongue to rotate u on the rivet 5, and move to the front of t e enholder, out of the way of the fingers o the hand. Although the resilient tongue 3 is thus free to move about the cap 1, and out of the way, it will be seen that its attachment to the cap 1 is secure, and that the device cannot be separated from the cap -1 of which it is a part, and become lost or misplaced.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:
1. A device of the class described comprising a tubular cap having a closed end; a rivet inserted in the closed end of the cap; and a resilient clip having one of its ends rotatably mounted upon the rivet, its other end bein bent into contact with the side wall of the cap; the rivet being headed on one end to engage the cap and headed on the other end to engage the clip.
2. A device of the class described comprising a tubular cap having a closed end; a rivet inserted in the closed end of the cap; and a resilient clip journaled for rotation at one end upon the rivet, the said clip being tapered to its free extremity, and said tapered portion being bent into substantial parallelism with the side walls of said cap and spaced therefrom, the said clip in its tapered portion being corrugated to contact normally with the side wall of the cap; the rivet bein headed on one end to engage the close end of the cap, and headed on the other end to retain the clip.
In testimonythat I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
MYRON T. FISH.
