WIRE RACK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 262,556, dated August 15, 1882.

' Application filed May 8, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSHUA BAILEY, of Golumbns, in the county of Franklin, State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful article made of wire; and I do'hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of the same.

My invention relates to the construction of a rack made of wire for holding folded newspapers.

It consists in the peculiar construction hereinafter more specifically pointed out and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing the figure represents a front view of my improved rack, a part of which is shown holding folded newspapers.

In manufacturing my rack wire of a suitable length is taken and bent at the center, as shown at A, to form a loop, by means of which the rack is suspended, then slightly curved to B B, forming rings B B, then forming the sides and back D D, which,being bent outward at regular intervals and at opposite points of the frame D D, form the projections O (3, which are inclined slightly upward to prevent the folded newspapers from falling out of place.

.IEhe portions of the wire which form the projections O (J are brought together at E E, and held by means of metal bands soldered around them near the point where said projections are bent from the frame D D. At a short distance below the lower pair of projections, G O, the portion of the wire forms the lower rings, B B, at corner. The two ends of the wire are brought together a little below in the center, and held in place by means of light metal band H. The cross-pieces at top and bottom, S S, are fastened in the rings B B and B B at each corner to retain the sides or frame in a verticalposition.

What I claim asmy invention is- A rack for holdingfolded newspapers, affording separate accommodations for each paper or papers, consisting of a single piece of wire bent in the form of an oblong frame, secured togetherat its ends and having projecting loops made in its sides, substantially as shown and described.

JOSH UA BAILEY.
