n; all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1. Louis S'rninmmoen,

a citizen of'the United States, and a resident of thecity of NewvYork, borough of Brooklyn', in the county of Kings and State of -New York have invented a new and improved,Rece ver-Casi11g, of which the lollowing is a full,,c'le ar, and exact description. -Myinvent on relates to receiver casings flows: 1.. To provide t and parts immediately associated tl'ierewith, my more particular. purposes being as fol e receiver casing with a supporting member disposed intcrrmrdiate ithe body'portion the casing and the cap,

15 .gparts as'he'reinafter described, and of supment with a surface for the purposerof protecting both of these orting the same out of immediate engage sustaining the weight .of the receiver. 2. To, provide the end of hers, readily detachable from the the .receiverjcasing oppositethe cap with a v the same to the end of the cas ng upon which first mentioned has to the other end of the casing. 3.1T0render the supporting mom casing. 4, To provide the supporting members vith threads disposed internally thereof .for the purpose of securingsuch members more firmly in position upon the casin 5.

To

Figure l is an end elevation of the receiver complete, showing the larger of thetwo annular supporting menibers, this larger member being; provided with facets for supportlop, the weight of the receiver; Fig. 2 is a view partly. in elevat ion and partlydn sectron, showing the receiver asing equipped at each of its ends with a separate support-' ing member ha ring; the construction hereinafter described; and Fig. 3 is a side elevation showing the body portion of the casing provided at its ends with the supporting members held thereupon by their threads.

The body portion 4 provided with an enlargement 5, the latter having a reduced portion (3 provided externally with a thread. The annular supporting member 7, made preferably of fiber so as to afford both'insulation and resilience, is threaded inter nally and fitted upon the reduced portion-*6. 'lhis annular supporting member is provided externally with facets 8 for engaging any surface 9 upon which it may be desirable to support the receiver. A'cap 10'is provided internally with a thread 11, and adapted to fit upon the reduced portion 6. The supporting member 7-is thus held in position partly by the action of itspwn thread (see Fig. 3), and partly by the pressure of the cap 10. At the opposite end of the body portion 4, another annular supporting member 12, smaller than-the member.7', is placed. This member 12 isprovided with facets 1'2 and is threaded internally; it is also fitted upon a reduced "portion 13, the.

latter being threaded. An end piece 14 is provided with a central opening 15, and with a shoulder l6, the latter being adapted to engage the end of the reduced portion 13. The end piece, 14 is threaded internally so as to fit upon the reduced portion 13. This construction enables the end piece to grip the supporting member 12 firmly in osition, and to hold it by a clamping grip :unlcpendently of the tendency of the supporting member 12 to hold itself by its own threads upon the reduced portion 13.

I so arrange the threads of the ends of the body portion 4 that when the supporting members are screwed up tight, as indicated in Fig. 3. the facet 8 of the member 7- is parallel with the facet 152 of the supporting member 12. This prevents undue surfaces.

I strengthening and supporting portion,

ing due to rolling of the receiver casing or of the .re-. ceiver when resting upon the surface 9.

A- rece ver; casing constructed according -'to my invention herein described is much I do not limit myself to the particular construction or form of any or all of the parts herein shown and described or to any ,p

articular combination of the several parts. Neither. do I limit myself to employ in every instance, a detachable strengthening. and supporting portion, nor to the use of a resilient material or insulating material to be employed in the construction of the will be evident to those skilled .in the art thatchanges .in construction, form and arrangement of the parts maybe resorted to without -departing from. the spirit or scope of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire. to secure by Letters 1.. A receiver casing comprising a body.
