PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION
A New or Improved Holder for the Framework of Hoods or
Canopies for Perambulators, Mail Carts, Garden and other
Seats, and the like, applicable also for Holding Blind,
Curtain, and other Rods
We, JOSEPH LINES, of the Firm of G & J Lines, of 457 Caledonian Road,
London, N, Toy Makers, and FRANK DOUGLAS, of 27 Birchfield Road,
Birmingham, Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows
The holder to which this invention relates consists of two superposed plates or
arms hinged together at one end and connected at their free ends by a clamping
Across the
screw, or, if preferred, connected by clamping screws at both ends
inner face of each plate or arm is formed a groove, the said grooves, when the
plates are folded together, receiving the framework pivot or rod to be held
the same being firmly gripped on tightening the clamping screw before mentioned
In order to avoid loose parts, and to permit of the instantaneous opening and
closing of the holder, we so construct and arrange the clamping screw as that the
holder may be opened and closed without necessitating the removal of the said
screw A convenient method consists in making the head of the said screw of some
shape other than circular, so that when in a certain position it will pass freely
through a slot in the outer plate, when a slight turn of the head will prevent its
withdrawal through the slot The inner plate will be provided with suitable screw
holes for the reception of screws for attaching the holder to the mail cart, seat,
window frame, or other desired place In order to improve the appearance of
the holder and to strengthen the same, we prefer to construct the inner plate
with a raised portion or transverse ridge in which the holding groove is cut,
the outer plate opposite to this transverse ridge being increased in thickness
and suitably recessed for the reception thereof The holder may be made in wood,
metal, or other suitable material

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION
A New or Improved Holder for the Framework of Hoods or
Canopies for Perambulators, Mail Carts, Garden and other
Seats, and the like, applicable also for Holding Blind,
Curtain, and other Rods
We, JOSEPH LINES, of the Firm of G & J Lines, of 457 Caledonian Road,
ondon, N, Toy Makers, and FRANK DOUGLAS, of 27 Birchfield Road,
rmingham, Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in

page_text: what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement
-
The holder to which this invention relates and which may be constructed of
metal, wood or other suitable material, consists of two superposed plates hinged
together at one end and connected at their free ends by a clamping screw, or if
preferred connected together by clamping screws at both ends Across the inner
face of each plate there is formed a groove, the said grooves receiving the frame-
work pivot or rod to be held and gripping the same firmly between them when the
clamping screw or screws are tightened up In order to avoid loose parts and to
permit of the quick opening and closing of the holder, we so construct and arrange
the clamping screw or screws that the holder may be opened and closed without
necessitating the removal of the said screw or screws A convenient method
consists in making the head of the clamping screw of some shape other than
circular so that when in a certain position it will pass freely through a slot in the
upper plate, when a slight turn of the head will prevent the withdrawal thereof
through the slot
The lower plate will be provided with suitable screw holes for
the reception of screws for attaching the holder to the mail cart, garden seat,
window frame or other desired place In order to improve the appearance of the
holder and to strengthen the same we prefer to construct the lower plate with a
raised portion or transverse ridge in which the holding groove is cut, the upper
plate being increased in thickness at one part and suitably recessed for the reception
of the said raised portion
We will now proceed to describe the annexed drawings in which similar
letters refer to corresponding parts in all the figures, and wherein
Figs 1, 2 and 3 represent in side elevation, plan and end elevation, respectively,
a holder for the purpose set forth constructed in accordance with our invention
Fig 4 is a side elevation of a holder of slightly modified construction
a a 1 are the two superposed plates, the lower a 1 of which is constructed with
the transverse ridge or raised portion b in which is cut the semicircular groove c
el is a corresponding groove formed in the upper plate a, which latter is increased
in thickness in the middle and recessed as shewn at 61 so as to receive the raised
portion 6 when the holder is closed In Figs 1, 2 and 3 the plates a al are
represented as being connected by a hinge d at one end, their free ends being
secured together by the clamping screw e the head of which passes through a slot f
in the plate a If preferred however the plates a a 1 may be secured together by
a clamping screw e at each end, as represented in Fig 4 In either arrangement
the head of the clamping screw e and the slot through which it passes are so
shaped and arranged, as illustrated, that the holder may be opened and closed
without necessitating the removal of the sciew We thus avoid loose parts and
facilitate the quick opening and closing of the holder When the plates a al are
clamped together as shewn in Figs 3 and 4, the pivot g of the framework of the
hood or canopy is firmly gripped or held between the grooves c cl hh are screws
by which the lower plate a 1 is secured to the side of the mail cart or other desired
place, and if found necessary said plate may also be provided with a dependent
lug through which a screw or screws may be passed at right angles to the screws h,
for additional security of fixing
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
-
1 A holder for the purpose set forth constructed and arranged substantially as
described and illustrated
2 A holder for the purpose forth, consisting of the plate a having the recess 61
and the groove c1, and the plate al having the transverse ridge b and the groovec,
said plates being connected together either by a hinge at one end and a clamping
screw at the other end or by a clamping screw at each end, the heads of the

page_text: clamping screws and the slots through which they pass being constructed and
arranged as described so as to facilitate the quick opening and closing of the holder
and avoid loose parts, substantially as specified and illustrated
