1 Claim.
My invention relates to holders for pads to be used in scouring, polishing or cleaning metal, wood or textiles. It is designed particularly to protect the fingers or" the operator from contact with steel wool, liquids or powders used in polishing or cleaning, and to catch drippings from the pad after it has been used, and the holder is to act as a self stand to be set down at any convenient place.
In the accompanying drawing- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the holder;
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the holder and a pad contained therein, the same being used in a scouring or polishing operation; and
1r Fig. 3 is an elevation of a holder and pad, the
holder being partly broken away to show the sump for catching drip from the pad when the device is not'in use.
The holder is of spring metal, and is formed by stamping a blank from sheet steel or other suitable material. The blank is bent to form two arms i I and I2 of unequal dimensions, which arms are connected together by an intermediate part i3 which serves as a base on which the Vdevice 25 stands when not in use.
The two arms are substantially parallel with each other and at right angles to the base. The outer face of each arm is pressed inward to form an exterior recess, with a consequent inward bulge 30 on the inner face toward a corresponding inward bulge on the opposite arm. On arm I I,'the recess is adapted to receive the thumb of the operator, as shown in Fig. 2. On arm I2, the recess is wide enough to receive the first, second and third iin- 35 gers of the operator. At the tips of the arms, beyond the recesses, the metal turns outward as shown at I4 and I5. The purpose of this construction is to protect the digits of the operator from contact with material used in the pad, when scouring pots and pans.
At theend of the baseV I3, and integral with the arms, are lips I 6 which form a pocket or sump to catch drip from the pad after it has beenused, 5 and while the device is standing in the position shown in Fig. 3.
On the arm I 2, and at an elevation about equal to the height ofthe top of arm II, are two small prongs Il which extend toward the opposite arm. 10` They are conveniently punched from the metal of arm I2. They serve as prick points-to prevent the pad from slipping in the holder while it is being used, while at the same time not interfering with inserting or adjusting th pad in the '15 holder.
In this connection, it may be observed that, when inserting the pad in the holder, the upper edges of arm I2 are conveniently grasped between thumb and fingers of one hand while the other. hand presses an edge of the pad against the in- Ward bulge on arm II, and adjacent to its tip I4.
This action opensthe spring arms and permits the easy insertion of the pad between said arms. When the device is being used, as shown in Fig. 2, the grasping action of thumb and ngers presses the arms toward each other and holds the pad firmly. v Y
What I claim is: Y e
A pad holder formed of spring metal and having two substantially parallel arms between which Y a pad may be held by the initial spring action of the arms, the metal between the arms forming a base integral with the arms and upon whichr the holder may stand when not in use, and also pro- Viding a sump for catching drip from a pad held y between the arms of the holder.
