SAFETY WHIP-HCILDER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented J an. 24, 1911.
Application filed. November 9, 1909. Serial No. 527,042.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LUoKEY G. DAVIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mound Bayou, in the county of Bolivar and State of Mississippi, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safety VVhip-Holders, of which the following is a specification.
The primary object of my invention is a simple, durable and eflicient construction of safety whip holders for use on buggies, wagons, or similar vehicles, and the invention consists in certain constructions, arrangements, and combination of the parts that I shall hereinafter fully describe and claim.
For a full understanding of the invention reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating the application of my improved whip holder. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view taken through the middle of the device at right angles to the section of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section on the line 4et of Fig. 2, and Fig. 5 is a detail view illustrating one of the clips that may be employed.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the accompanying drawing by the same reference characters.
My improved whip holder comprises a socket 1 which may be composed of any clesired substance or material, and of any desired size or design, the same being preferably covered around its sides and bottom by a sheathing 2 of leather or some other material which will add to the attractiveness of the device.
The socket 1 may be secured to the dashboard of a vehicle in any desired way, as by a pair of lower clips 8 designed to be attached to the rib of the dashboard, and an upper spring clip 4. If desired the socket may be provided with extra openings 5 to receive bolts by which the device may be secured to a wagon dashboard.
The socket 1 is recessed or bifurcated from a point at any predetermined distance above its lower end and up to its upper end, whereby to form a chamber 6 for the whip holding member 7. In the present instance, this whip holding member consists of a strip of spring metal or material returned upon itself to form two substantially parallel arms integrally connected with each other at their lower ends, one of said arms being rigidly connected throughout its length to that wall of the chamber 6 against which it lies, while the other arm is free to be sprung inwardly whereby to clamp the whip stock after the same has been inserted in between the arms.
8 designates a guiding plate which is secured to the upper end of the socket and which is formed with an opening through which the whip stock is designed to be inserted, this opening guiding the whip stock properly in between the edges of the clamping member. These edges are preferably covered with rubber, or the like, so as to prevent injury to the whip stock or handle.
In order to clamp the whip handle and securely lock it in place after it has been inserted in between the arms of the clamping member 7, I provide a cam lever 8 which is journaled by means of trunnions formed in the socket, as shown, and which works in a slot 9 formed in one of the bifurcated ends of the socket, the handle of the lever being located on the outside of the socket, as clearly illustrated in the drawing. By turning the handle of this cam lever 8 down against the edge of the socket 1, the cam lever will be pressed against the movable or spring arm of the clamping member and will move it toward the other arm so that both arms will securely hold the whip stock after it has been inserted in place.
10 designates a locking plate which is pro vided with a lock in the nature of a trunk lock designed to engage the handle of the lever 8. Said handle is provided with a keyhole, as shown. Preferably secured to the handle of the lever 8 is a closure for the keyhole, the same consisting of a plate 11 pivoted at one end to the handle and formed with a bulged or dished portion 12 adapted to snap into the keyhole when the plate is moved to a position where it will cover the same.
13 designates a spring which is secured to the handle of the lever 8, the free end of the spring bearing upon the plate and serving to hold it in place as against accidental displacement.
From the foregoing description in connection with the accompanying drawing, the operation and advantages of my improved whip holder will be apparent. In the practical use of the device, the whip holder is cam lever is then looked in the plate 10 and the owner of the vehicle may leave the same feeling assured that his whip will be safely held until he returns.
Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new is The herein described whip holder, comprising a socket bifurcated from its upper end to a point short of its lower end, a sheathing covering the socket and closing the sides of the forked portion thereof,
whereby to form a chamber, spring arms mounted in the chamber, one of said arms being rigidly fastened therein while the other arm is free, the socket being formed at its upper end with an opening leading into the chamber through the sheathing, and a cam lever journaled in said opening and adapted to engage the free clamping arm.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
LUGKEY C. DAVIS.
