BOTTLE-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patgntged June 14,1910.

Application filed December 15. 1909. Serial No. 533,268.

To all'whom'it may concern:

Be it known that I, WIL IAM I. has, a citizen of the United States, residing at Akron, in the county of Summit and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottle-Holders; and I Another object is toprovide a device off this character adapted to be secured to the frame or jamb of a door and havingJmeans whereby when a bottle is inserted therein, the same cannot be removed until the door is opened.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists ofcertain novel features of construction, combination land arrangement of parts as will be more fully described and'particularly pointedlout in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings; Figure 1 is a side view of a door and door frame showing my improved bottle holder applied; Fig. 2 IS a horizontal section taken on the line 2-42 of Fig. 1'. Fig.3 is a vertical section of the holder, showing the bottle arranged therein in dotted lines; F g. is a similar View taken at rightangles to Fig. -3. Fig. 5 1s a do! all perspective view of one of the bottle upporting devices.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 denotes my improved bottle holder which is preferably formed of tin or other sheet'metal and isconstructed substantially as is shown in the drawings. The receptacle is closed at its upper end and open at its lower end and a its rear side. In one side of the receptacle are formed upper and lower key-hole sha ed apertures 2 which are adapted to be ei'igagcd with nails or other headed fastening devices 3. which are arranged in the door jainb or frame adjacent to the outer side of, the door. as shown.

In applying the receptacle to the door jainb or frame, it is first necessary to open the door after which the larger portions of the apertures 2 are engaged with the nails or headed supporting devices i). The receptacle is then pushed over until the smaller portions of the apertures 2 engage the nails 3, thus preventing the removal of the receptacle from the nails after the door has been closed. as when the door is in closed position. the outer side of the same will be brought into close engagement with the inner side of the receptacle, thus preventing any lateral movement thereof and thus holding the smaller portions of the apertures 2 in engagement with the nails 3.

In applying the milk bottle to the receptacle, the former is inserted into the lower open end of the remptacle and pushed up wardly therein until the head around-the upper end of the bottle neck is engaged by the supporting devices 4 whereby the bottle will be securely held in the receptacle and .cannot be removed therefrom or tampered with until the door has been opened, thus permitting the removal of the bottle through the open rear side .of the receptacle.

The supporting devices 4: are arranged at diametrically opposite points on the inner side of the receptacle near the upper end thereof and each of said devices comprises an attaching plate 5 which is riveted or otherwise secured to the inner side of the receptacle and is provided near its lower end with. a transverse bearing groove 6 and a right angular laterally projecting stop lug 7. The upper ends of the attaching plate 5 are preferably bent inwardly and downwardly at a suitable angle to provide a stop 3.,thc purpose of which will be hereinafter described. I

Hingedly mounted in the bearing groove 6 of the attaching plate. a is a. bottle supporting plate 9. The plates 5) oi the attach. ing devices are adapted to swing upwardly until engaged with. the stops 8 which limit theupward movement ofthe plates 9. The bottle supporting plates 9 are limited'in their downward movement and are 'prevented from dropping below a horizontal plane by means of the stop lugs T on the low er ends of the attaching plates By means of bottle supporting devices,

such as hereiirshow'n and described. it will be seen that when a milk bottle is pushed upwardly into said receptacle that the sup porting plates 9 will be engaged by the upper end of the bottle and swung upwardly against the stops 8 which will permit the beaded upper end of the bottle to pass said supporting plates, whereupon the latter willdrop back into engagement with the neck of the bottle below t e bead thereon and will thus su,- port or hold the bottle in thereceptacle; tacle will prevent the ttle from being tampered with and the latter cannot beremoved from the receptacle until the door is opened and the rear open side of the receptacle thus uncovered.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying draw- 1 ing's, the construction and operation of the invention will be readily understood withp out requiring a more extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion and -the minor details of, construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention, as defined in the appended claiin.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is: a

In'a bottle holder of the character dey scribed, a receptacle 0 en at. its rear side and lower end, means w ereby the receptacle is secured to a door jamb adjacent to the he closed upper end of the recepdoor, the latter when iniclosed position 00vering the open side of the receptacleand greventin the removal thereof from the oor -'am bottledeyieps, arrange in said rece ta 0, sa i devices 60mprism attaching ates having on their upper en s downwar ly and inwiidl y projectmg. stops and on their lower ends inwardly projectlng lugs,-bott1'e engagin and sup porting plates 11" edl connec to said attachlng 'lates 11 .25 a apted to be engaged and lifted by the upper end of a bottle when inserted in the vlower open end of the "receptacle, said plates beingslifted by the upper end of the bottle automaticall drop back into engagement with the bott e neck thereby holding the bottle against removal from the receptacle-untilthe rear open side thereof is uncovered by the opening of the door. I a In testimony whereof I havehereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
