UNITED STATES v 1,663,366 PATENT OFFICE.

FRANK BERRY, OF ANITA, PENNSYLVANIA.

HOLDER.

Application filed January 7, 1927, Serial No. 159,652. Renewed December 12, 1927.

that sections can be added or removed, as

desired.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the holder.

Figure 2 is a side view showing the same hung upon a wall.

Figure 3 is a section on line 83 of Figure 1.

As shown in these views, the holder A is formed of a number of large sections 1. and

a number of small sections 2, each section being formed of a length of wire which is bent to form the vertical portions 3 and the shelf forming portion 4 which is inclined slightly from the horizontal. The top section has its vertical portion formed with a loop 5 which provides an eye so that the section can be suspended from a nail or other fastener on a wall. 3 of the other sections are made in the form of Vertical arms, each having a hook 6 at its upper end for engaging the shelf forming portions of the section next above.

As will be seen, the hooks are arranged at an angle so that they will parallel the arms of the shelf forming portions with the bight of each hook resting upon one of these. arms, 7

with the open end of the hook embracing a vertical portion of the section next above so that the sections are supported one from the other. This arrangement of the hooks will The vertical portions permit papers or the like to be placed between the hooks and the arms of the shelf forming portions so that these papers will be securely held in place.

As will be seen from Figure 1, the lower sections are of smaller dimensions than the upper sections and in order to connect a small section with the large section, I make the vertical portions of the first small sec tion with offset parts 8 which carry the hooks 6. Thus the smaller section can be attached to the large sections as shown.

As will be seen, the parts 4 form a shelf for supporting newspapers and other articles and as the shelf is slightly inclined, there is no danger of the articles sliding off the shelf. As many sections can be used as are necessary and when some of the sections become empty, they can be removed, if desired.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall with in the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is A holder of the class described comprising a number of sections each formed of a length of wire bentto form a vertical portion and a shelf forming portion which is inclined from the horizontal, hooks on the vertical portions of the lower sections for engaging parts of the inclined portion, the vertical portion of the top section having a loop formed at its upper end, the hooks being arranged parallel with the arms of the shelf forming portions with portions of the hooks engaging portions of the section above, with the bights of the hooks resting upon the arms of the shelf forming portions so that sheets of paper or the like will be held on the shelf forming portions by having parts placed under the hooks.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
