HOSE-NOZZLE HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 352,697, dated November 16, 1886.

Application filed June 14, 1886. Serial N0. 205,080. (ifIo model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern Be it known that I, MARY LANE, of Hot Springs, in the county of Garland and State of corresponding parts in both the'figures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a hose-cart having my invention applied thereto, and Fig. 2 is a plan View of the same. I

The hose-cart may be of any approved construction, provided with a support or crosspiece, A, above the drum or reel on which the hose is wound. Upon the cross-piece A is secured the plate B, provided with the iron G, carrying the clampscrew D. A Pivoted upon the plate B is the circular turn-table E. Rising from this are the two parallel uprights F F, in the upper ends of which is journaled the shaft G, to which is'secured the lower half, h, of the hose-holder H. The hose-holder is in the form of a olasp'composed of the said lower half, which is concaved or semi-cylindrical in form, and the upper semi-cylindrical half, h,

i which is hinged to the lower half and provided with fastenings z 2', so the holder may beopened and closed over a hose, and'clasped for securely holding the hose. The table E is 40 adapted for turning the hose in any direction, and when turned to the proper position it may be held in such position by turning down thescrew D. The shaft G, on which the holder H is secured, is adapted to be turned in its 5 bearings for giving the hose any pitch desired, and the shaft may be locked for retaining the desired pitch of the holder by a setscrew, a, fitted in the bearing of one of the up-v rights F to act upon the shaft. In this man- 0 ner the universal action of the turn-table and holder H enables the hose to be easily set and held for directing the stream of water to the right-or left, up or down, as circumstances require; and the hose is held with perfectse- 5 5 eurit-y, so that one man can easily manage it.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and'desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, 'with a support, of a turn-table mounted thereon, a clamp forlocking the turn-table in position, uprights projecting from the turn-table, a shaft j ournaled in the upper ends of the uprights, a hose;

holder secured to the said shaft, and a setscrew for locking the shaft in position, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. The. plate B of the cross-piece A; provided with the iron 0 and screw D, in combination with the tu rn-table E, uprights F, shaft G, divided holder H, and set-screw a,arranged to lock the shaft G, substantially as described.

MARY LANE.
