Application filed October 28,1886. Serial No. 217,444. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I,Marion H. Vermilye, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State 5 of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Holders for Poles and other Articles, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a io simple and durable holder for such articles, for example, as fish-poles, flag-poles, and the like; and the invention consists in the features pointed out in the following specification and claim, and illustrated in the accom15 panying drawings, in which—

Figure 1 is an end elevation of the holder. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the holder, partly in section. Fig. 3 is a perspective view⁷ of the holder.

Similarlettersindicate corresponding parts.

A indicates the arms of the holder, formed of suitable material—sugh, for example, as stout metal wire. A recess or depression, a, is formed in the holder, in which recess or 25 depression can rest an article, such as a fishpole, flag-pole, or the like, indicated by the letter B and by dotted outlines.

A clamp, 0, is formed on the holder, and preferably integral therewith. The legs c c 30 of the clamp are adapted to catch over any suitable support, G, as, for example, the side of a boat, a window-sill, or the like. The legs c c are preferably formed of some springy material, so that they can be sprung over the 35 support G. Across the legs c c extends a bridge, D, which forms a part of the clamp. The bridge can be riveted, soldered, or otherwise secured to the legs c c.

The bridge D is tapped for the reception of 4.0 a clamping screw or screws, E, by which the holder can be clamped in position. The bridge D is also tapped for the reception of the screwshank f of an eyebolt, F. The eyebolt F is adapted to receive one end of the rod, pole, 45 or bar B, as shown. By turning the screwshank f in the proper direction the eyebolt is either raised or lowered, as desired, thus giving the pole or rod B any inclination desired. The eyebolt F serves as a socket or 50 support for the end of the pole, rod, or bar, and in the example shown in the drawings said eye F forms an adjustable socket or sup port. By having the recess a upwardly open the pole or rod B can be easily placed in said recess a, and said recess a serves as a rest for 55 the pole or rod and prevents lateral displacement of the pole or rod.
