Improvements in Adjustable Clips for Music, Reading, and other
Stands, which are also Applicable for other Purposes.
1, JOHN HORNBY of 146 Higher Bridge Street, Bolton in the County of Lancaster,
Pawnbroker, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in adjustable clips for music, reading, and
other stands, which are also applicable for other purposes and consists in providing the
clip in the usual form with a solid stang and head at its inner end or the end which is
secured to the supporting ledge or otherwise of the stand. The stang and head are
mounted in a metallic case which can be driven into the ledge or otherwise of the
stand, or screwed therein if desired. To give elasticity and make the clips adjustablo
for the various sizes of music and other books an elastic medium, such as, a spring or
india-rubber ring is placed between the clip head and the outer end of the metallic
casing to allow of the clip being slid outwardly from the ledge, which also allows
of the clip being turned in either direction or completely round at will.
In another modification the clip can be of steel to give a certain amount of clasticity
which enables my improved clip to be used as a letter, bill, or other file.
If desired the metallic case can be dispensed with and substituted by a metallic plate
on the front of the ledge or otherwise of the stand; a hole or recess behind being
provided to receive the stang and elastic medium.
