摘要 A body of shape retentive, but deformable and elastic material is provided and one side of the body includes a blind bore opening outwardly thereof in which to snugly and frictionally receive the threaded base end of a spark plug for support of the spark plug from the holder. A second adjacent side of the body includes spaced parallel integral leg portions projecting outwardly thereof and the free end of one of the legs is provided with an endwise outwardly projecting integral stem portion terminating outwardly in an integral eye portion. The free end of the other leg terminates outwardly in a second integral stem portion projecting endwise outwardly therefrom and the outer end of the second stem portion includes an integral crosshead insertable through the eye portion. The legs are adapted to embracingly receive a tubular structural member of a motorcycle frame therebetween and the free ends of the legs and the stems are adapted to be bent around the opposite side of the tubular structural member with the crosshead removably inserted through the eye portion. With the legs and stem or stem portions of the holder thus secured about the motorcycle frame structural member in a slightly stretched condition, the holder is frictionally retained on the motorcycle frame tubular member and a spark plug supported from the holder is supported in readiness for use as a spare spark plug in the event a spare spark plug is needed.
权利要求
1. An article holder for securement about an elongated member, said holder comprising a one piece body of shape retentive, deformable and elastic material and including article support means for supporting an article therefrom, said body further including spaced generally parallel integral leg portions of panel-like configuration projecting endwise outward from one side thereof, the free end of one of said leg portions including an integral endwise outwardly projecting stem whose free outer end terminates in an integral eye portion and the free end of the other leg portion including a similar integral endwise outwardly projecting stem whose outer end terminates in an integral crosshead removably insertable through said eye portion, the portion of the side of said body outwardly from which said leg portions project being contoured to define a semi-cylindrical pocket opening laterally outwardly between said leg portions, said leg portions being disposed in planes paralleling the center axis of said semi-cylindrical pocket, said pocket defining an abutment surface against which one side of a cylindrical structural member may be abutted, the effective length of said leg portionS and their stems being such, when said leg portions and stems are slightly elongated and bowed, to allow the stems to be secured together by insertion of said crosshead through said eye portion and to define, together with said pocket, a cylindrical area therebetween of substantially the same radius of curvature as the radius of curvature of said pocket, said body having a bore formed therein opening outwardly through another side of the body, said bore being of a diameter adapted to wedgingly receive the threaded base of a spark plug therein.
2. The combination of claim 1 wherein said stems each comprise an extension of the corresonding leg portion of reduced cross-sectional area.
3. The combination of claim 1 wherein said bore comprises a blind bore generally paralleling said pocket.
