CLIP.
Specicaton of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 17, 1911.
Application filed January 27, 1910. Serial No. 540,368.
To all 'whom it may concern.-
Be itA known that I, Ross VHITLOCK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Estancia, in the county of Torrance and Territory of New Mexico, have invented a new and useful Clip, of which the following is a specification.
It is the object of this invention to provide a clip, adapted to be secured to the flexible apron commonly worn by mechanics, to retain thereon, a rule and a pencil, or other like objects.
The invention aims to provide a device of the class described which will be at once eiiicient in operation, simple in construction, and durable in use.
The drawings show but one form of the invention, and it is to be understood that changes, properly falling within the scope of what is claimed, may be made, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Similar' numerals of reference are employed to denote corresponding parts throughout the several figures of the drawings, wherein,-
Figure 1 shows my invention in front elevation, connected with a portion of an apron; Fig. 2 is a transverse section on the line A-B of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the resilient portion of the device; Fig. 4 is a front elevation of the portion of the device shown in Fig. 8; and Fig. 5 is a fragmental rear elevation.
In the drawings, there is shown a portion of a carpenters apron, which is denoted by the numeral 1. To the apron 1 is adapted to be secured, a plate 2, the means whereby the plate is connected with the apron, consisting of side prongs 3 upon the plate, and a top prong 4 upon the upper edge thereof, the several prongs being adapted to be inserted through the constituent material of the apron and bent down to engage the same. The plate 2 will be referred to hereinafter as the supporting member.
The invention further includes a resilient member 5, comprising a pair of springs 6 and 7, one of which is slightly longer than the other. These springs 6 and 7 are coiled in opposite directions, their adjacent ends uniting to form at the front of the device, a depending foot 8. This foot 8 extends rearwardly from the springs 6 and 7 toward the plate 1, to space the springs slightly away from the plate, the lower extremity of the foot being U shaped, and bent as denoted by the numeral 9, into approximate parallelism with the plate 2. The portion 9 of the foot 8 is secured to the forward face of the plate 2 by means of a lump of solder 10, or other securing means adapted to a like end. It is of course to be understood, and is clearly discernible from the drawings, that the foot 8 and the springs 6 and 7 are of a one piece construction.
The ends of the springs 6 and 7 are bent to form fingers 11, downwardly inclined toward the lower edge of the plate 2. The fingers 11 are bent at 12 to extend substantially at right angles to the plate 2 as shown at 15, the portion 15 being received in notches 16 in the edges of the plate. To the rear of the plate, the fingers are bent downwardly, substantially parallel to the portion 9 of the foot, as shown at 14, the portions 14 being secured to the rear face of the plate 2 by means of solder or the like, shown at 17.
A lead-pencil may be inserted beneath the portion 6 of the resilient member, and a carpenters rule may be inserted beneath the portion 7 thereof, the construction of the device being such that these implements are at all times disposed upon the apron of the mechanic, and within easy reach of his hand.
Owing to the fact that the portion 9 of the foot S and the portion 14 of the fingers 11 are parallel, they may readily be secured to opposite sides of the plate 2.
Since the portions 14 extend to the rear of the plate and are secured thereto, the foot 8 bearing upon the opposite face of the plate, the members 6 and 7 are not likely to become detached from the plate when a pencil or rule is thrust forcibly between them. The members 6 and 7 are spaced sufficiently from the plate 2 so that an article may readily be inserted beneath them, the resiliency of said members serving to retain such articles in place against the plate 2.
Having thus described the invention what is claimed is:-
In a device of the class described, a supporting member having notches in its opposite edges; axially alined, helical springs and an integrally formed foot connecting the adjacent ends of the springs, the foot being extended outwardly from the springs toward the supporting member, the extremity of the foot being bent into parallelism with the forward face of the supporting member and being secured thereto; the remote ends of the stituting means for spaeing the springs apart Springs being prolonged tangentially to the from the supporting member.
