GLASS-HOLDER.

Patented Sept. 4, 1906.

Application filed January 19 1906. Serial No. 296.886.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OHN F. CoNLrN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chelsea, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Glass-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to holders for drinking-glasses and the like; and it consists in a new article of manufacture which is light, strong, graceful, easyto attach and detach from a drinking-glass, easily cleaned, and which in use holds a drinking-glass of the proper size and shape firmly and securely.

In the drawing hereto annexed there is shown in perspective a view of the complete glass-holder which embodies my invention and improvements.

I form a base G preferably of spun metal and slightly flaring for the sake of stability and provided, moreover, with an aperture 9 in the top thereof, said aperture facilitating the cleaning of the base part. Upon this base G, I form and secure the combined handle and glass-holding clip of a single piece of resilient wire as follows: At the mid-part of the length of this wire 'I form the loop or base-embracing bent R, which is secured to the base G, as by soldering around the upper circumference thereof. The loop R does not pass entirely around this circumference, but is bent upward to form the standard portions or braces A, which as they extend upward converge slightly to the points a, where the wire is again bent at about right angles outwardly and then forwardly and upwardly, then backwardly and inwardly to form the arms B, which constitute the glass-holding clip. At the points marked b the wire is then bent at about a right angle upwardly to form the flaring'branches C of the handle, the upper curves or bends D and the descending curved portions E forming the en tire handle. The two ends of the wire are secured, as by soldering, at F to the upper rim of the base G, midway between the struts A. If desired, the bridge cl may be secured between the parts C of the handle for greater stiffness. The clip portion, consisting'of the arms B, is so proportioned that a glass such as shown in dotted lines at H may readily be slipped between the arms B and caught thereby and may be as readily disengaged when it is desired to remove the glass for any purpose.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a glass-holder, a base; a handle, clip, and standard composed of resilient wire joined to the base at the lower end of the handle portion, thence extending upward, inward and downward to form said handle portion, thence outward, downward and inward in opposite directions from the handle portion to form two branches of a laterallyopening lass-holding clip, thence downward from sai clip portion to the base, to form a standard, the said wire secured to the base at the lower ends of said standard portion.

2. In a glass-holder, a base, a one-piece resilient wire, having its two ends oined to the base, and bent upward and over to form a handle, then outward on either side symmetrically to form a clip, then inward, and downward to form a standard, and from the base of the standard curved around and secured to the base.

Signed by me at Boston, Massachusetts, this 8th day of November, 1905.

JOHN F. OONLIN.
