' UNITED STATES PATENT O F FRANK BARWIOK, or HONOLULU, HAWAII.
MAGAZINE OR ,B ooK H O'L DEVR.
. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters latent No. 531,496, dated December 25,1894.
' Application filed September 4, 1894;. .Serial 1T0. 522,087. (No modeh) To wZZ whom it'may concern.-
Beit known that I, FRANK BARWICK, of Honolulu', Hawaii, have invented a new and Improved Magazine or Book .Holder, of which the following is a'full, clear, and exact descrip- .tion.
My inventioh relates to improvements in devices for holding. magazines, books and similar things; and the object of my invention is to produce a device which is particularly adapted for use in public and semi pulr licplaces to hold books, magazines, and other reading matter in place, so that the articles may be conveniently read, but cannot be carried away. v
A further object of my invention is to produce a device which is very cheap and simple, which maybe veryeasily opened and locks automatically, and which also may be quickly adjusted to fit and hold books and magazines of different thicknesses.
To these ends my invention consists of cortainfeatures of construction and combinations of parts, which will be hereinafter described and claimed.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar figures of reference indicate corresponding parts in all theviews.
, jaw thrown open. 35.
Figure 1 isa plan view of the fixed jaw of the device. Fig.2 is a similar View of the movable jaw of the device. Fig. 3 is a broken sectional plan of the holder with the movable Fig. 4 is a plan view of the holder in locked position. Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section on the line 55 of Fig. 4; Fig.- 6 is a cross section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 4; and Fig. 7 is a detail view of the key used in connection with the holder.
The holder is provided with two parallel jaws, one being movable and the other fixed,
.and the jaw10, which is the fixed jaw, termi nates at its ends in laterally extending offsets 11 which are provided with perforated lugs to receive screws by which the jaw may be fastened to a table or wall 13, and when the movable jaw is in place these screws are covered so that the device cannot be tampered with. The offsets 11 and the adjacent por- 15, which has near-its ends arms 16 adapted to engage a lug 17 on the interior of the jaw, and thus limit the movement of the tumbler, which movement is longitudinal in the jaw. Each tumbler is pressed normally toward the end of the jaw by a spring 18 which is arranged behind it. Each tumbler has also, at its outer end, teeth 19 which are adapted to engage the ratchet teeth 20 of the locking bars 21 and 22,*which are secured to the ends of the movable jaw 23, the bar 21 being connected by a pivot pin, as shown .in Figs. 2 and 3, so that whenthebaris held rigidly in place, as in Fig, 3, the jaw 23 may be swung outward, as illustrated in the same figure.
The bar 22 is rigid on the jaw 23 and is curved slightly so .that it may readily enter the case 14. at the end of the jaw 10. It will be seen that either bar 21 or 22 may be pushed into the adjacent case of the fixed jaw, either its full length or partially, according to circumstances, and in either event it will be clutched by the teeth 19 and held so that it The tumblers 15 are moved back against the tension of their springs by a key, and to this end the jaw 10 has, inthe outer walls of the recesses 14, keyholes 25, adapted to receive a key 26 which is provided with a suitable bit 27 to engage and throw back the tumbler. The key 26 has at one end spurs or lugs 26 which may be inserted in holes 26 in the fixed and movable jaws, and then by turning the key as indicated by the arrows in Fig. 1, the movable jaw 23 is forced inward so as to set the teeth 24 in the book or magazine;
In usi'ng'the device the bar 22 is unlocked and the .jaw 23 swung open, as in Fig. 3. The back of the magazine or book to be held is placed longitudinally between the two jaws and the movable jaw is then closed, the bar '22 entering the recess 14 and being engaged claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A magazine or book holder comprising a stationary member having a raised inner longitudinal edge and means for securing it to a table or desk, keylocks in the ends of said member, and a movable member also having a raised inner longitudinal edge and provided at its ends with two transverse bars or hasps engaged by the said locks, one of the bars being hinged to said movable member, substantially as described.
2. A device of the kind described, comprising a fixed jaw having recessed ends, springpressed tumblers held in the said recessed ends, a movable jaw having end toothed bars to enter the recesses and engage the tumblers,
and a hinge connection between one of the said bars and the movable jaw, substantially as described.
3. A device of the kind described, comprising a fixed jaw having end offsets, the ends of the fixed jaw and the oflsets being recessed, spring-pressedtumblers held in the recesses and provided with teeth at their outer ends, and a movable j aw provided with end toothed bars to engage the tumblers, one of the bars having a hinge connection with the movable jaw, substantially as described.
4. A magazine and book holder, comprising a fixed jaw, inclined upward toward its inner edge, which is provided with projecting teeth, the jaw havingrecesses at its ends, tumblers held in the recesses, a movable jaw also inclined upward toward its inner edge and provided with teeth thereon, and locking bars at the ends of the movable jaw, the bars being adapted to engage the tumblers of the fixed jaw and one of them being pivotally connected with the said movable jaw, substantially as described.
