SYLVESTER W. BEACH, OF YPSILANTI, MICHIGAN.
IMPROVEMENT IN WHlP-SOCKETS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 126,008, dated April 23, 1872.
To whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SYLVESTER W. BEACH, of Ypsilanti, in the county of Washtenaw and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Whip-Holders; and I do declare that the following is a true and accurate description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon and being a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a vertical section of my whipholder on the line a: as in Fig. 2, which is a horizontal section on the plane a a in Fig. l; and Fig. 3 is a detached perspective view of one of the segmental jaws and its spring.
Like letters refer to like parts in each figure.
The nature of this invention relates to an improvement in whip-holding devices, which, from its peculiar construction, will grasp and firmly hold the butt of a whip when the same is inserted therein; and it consists in a pair of segmental jaws of peculiar form, pivoted at or near their centers in a tubular socket, each jaw being provided with a spring, arranged and operating as more fully hereinafter set forth.
In the drawing, A represents the socket of my whip-holder, being a sheet-metal cylinder, open at the top, closed at the bottom, and suitably japanned or plated. B B are two segmental jaws, of the form shown in Fig. 3, inserted in the socket, to the walls of which each is pivoted by a single rivet, a, passing through the jaw alittle below mid-height at a point equidistant from the edges or sides. 1 The jaws are flanged outwardly at the top, and turn over the rim of the socket a little, and they extend nearly to the bottom thereof. Ordinarily that part of each jaw which is above the pivot lies flat against the inner wall of the socket, while that part below it is bent or curved inwardly, so that the lower ends of both jaws approach each other. On the outer face of each jaw, below the pivot, there is secured thereto a leafspring, 0, whose free end presses against the lower part of the socket.
When the butt of a whip is inserted between the jaws and forced down, it crowds their lower ends apart until their upper ends embrace the whip stock, when the springs, exerting their pressure on the butt through the medium of the jaws, will prevent the whip from being withdrawn without the application of a considerable strain; hence, the jarring or jolting of the vehicle on a rough road cannot throw out the whip and lose it.
An opening should be left in the bottom of the socket to permit rainwater to flow out should any enter the socket. The socket can be secured to any convenient part of the box of the vehicle or to the dash-frame by clamps or otherwise.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The socket A, provided with the pivoted jaws B B and the springs C 0, all constructed, arranged, and operating substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
SYLVESTER W. BEACH.
