page_text: I JAMES GEORGE STIDDER of Birch House, Loughborough Road Brixton in the
County of Surrey, Sanitary Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
In lieu of the ordinary grooved whip holder I form it in two parts one a circular
wood base and the other a moveable gong-shaped plate actuated by a spring. To
release the whip from its position when on its circular seating the gong is relieved by
pressing on the spring.
The stock of the whip is secured by a spring clip and the lash is held taut by means
of a V shaped fork.

page_text: I JAMES GEORGE STIDDER of Birch House, Loughborough Road, Brixton in the
County of Surrey, Sanitary Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my
said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The object of my invention is to manufacture an improved description of whip-
holder, by the use of which the whip is suspended in such a manner that the thong is
kept in shape when not in use.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained
reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings in which similar letters of
reference indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of iny invention. Fig. 2 is a side view, partly in section,
and drawn to a larger scale; and Fig. 3 is a section on the line also drawn
to a larger scale.
a is a board or plate fitted with a tube b and set screw c. dis another board or
plate, fitted with a tube or rod e. The distance between the boards a and d, can be
regulated by the set screw c; the rod e sliding telescopically in the tube b. is a
metallic eye or staple for suspending the invention upon a nail or look.
A single board extending from a to d may be used, if preferred, dispensing with
the telescopic arrangement of c and e; or the two boards a and d may be separately
fixed to a wall, a suitable distance apart; in which latter case also the tubes 6 and
may be dispensed with. is a raised circular plate fixed to a. The pin is screwed
into g. This pin is fitted with a head carrying an arm fitted with the pulley k.
m is a dished plate (called in my Provisional Specification a gong shaped plate ")
which is held against g by the spring n. A screw o fixed in g passes through a hole
p is a cord fitted with a ring p¹, and attached to the staple fixed to the
in m.
:
plate m.
The plate d is fitted with a fixed staples and a bell-cranked levert t¹, pivotted at u.
is pressed upward by a spring surrounding the pin attached to the button v.
e is a spring fork fitted to the plate d.
disc m.
When using the invention, the whip y is thrown behind the upper part of the
The button is then pressed downwards while the stock of the whip is
passed between s and t, where it is firmly held by the spring lever t t. The lash is
then passed into the fork w, and the whip is securely held.
To release the whip, the lash is first pulled out of the fork w. The spring button v
is then pressed to release the stock. The cord p is then pulled, whereby the plate m is
moved to about the position shown by the dotted line z. The whip can then be freely
lifted and removed from the apparatus.
It is obvious that various modifications and variations may be made in the forms
of springs and other details, and in the materials of which the apparatus is
constructed.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The method of sustaining or holding whips by means of a spring plate m
substantially as herein before described and illustrated by the drawings.
2. In the construction of whip holders as aforesaid the combination of the spring
plate m, spring clip tts and , and lash holder w, severally operating substantially
as herein before described and illustrated by the drawings.
3. The general construction, arrangement, and combination of the several and
respective parts, together forming my invention of an improved carriage whip-holder,
substantially as herein before described and illustrated by the drawings.
