HERBERT O. HIBBARD, OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO WORCESTER NOVELTY COMPANY, OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS, A COPARTNERSHIP.
SUPPORT FOR CARDS AND THE LIKE.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HERBERT O. Humane, a citizen of the United States, residing at Vorcester, in the county of Vorcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Support for Cards and the Like, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a device for holding cards, pictures, and the like, particularly adapted for attachment to ordinary walls.
The principal objects of the invention are to provide a simple and inexpensive device of this character, yet capable of being formed in an ornamental style, which will be suitable for holding postal cards, pictures and other flat articles, and to provide simple and convenient means by which the same can be applied to an ordinary wood or plaster wall in such a manner that a minimum number of holes will be made therein. The invention also involves the arrangement of the device in such a way that when put on a card or the like it will give the appearance of a frame therefor, and will cover the edges thereof by continuous surfaces which will come flush with the suporting wall so as to give a neat appearance.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings in which,
Figure 1 is a preferred form of the invention. Fig. 2 is a rear view thereof. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 77 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a sectional view on the line 8-8 of Fig. 2.
The invention is shown in a form in which a support 31 is provided having offset flanges 32 and integral prongs 33 by which it may be secured to a wall. It is also provided with perforations 34 so that it can be tacked or nailed in position if desired. This is designed to hold a frame member 35 which is provided with flanges 36 cut away at 37. These flanges extend inwardly and can be slipped under the flanges 32 so as to hold the parts in the posit-ion shown in the Specification of Letters Patent.

drawings. This frame member obviously is of constant size, but it has an inwardly extending flange 39 large enough to provide for pictures or cards of various sizes. From this it will be seen that the frame 39 can be so constructed that it will come back flush with the wall on which the frame 31 is fastened so as to leave no space behind it and it is so arranged that there will be no open ings in its flange which is perpendicular to the wall. This makes the device very neat in appearance and unobjectionable in every way. One advantage of this form of the invention is that the member 31 can be formed from the piece of metal taken out of the center of the member 35.
While I have illustrated and described a preferred embodiment of the invention, I am aware that many modifications can be made therein by any person skilled in the artwithout departing from the scope of the invention as expressed in the claim. Therefore, I do not wish to be limited to all the details of construction herein shown and described, but
hat I do claim is As an article of manufacture, a holder for cards, pictures, and the like comprising two members, one adapted to be secured to a wall, and provided with offset flanges at its ends, the other having inwardly extending flanges on the back adapted to fit behind the offset flanges and having a continuous inwardly extending flange on the front provided with an opening therein, and having the flange on the back discontinued for a distance suflicient to permit the second member to be applied to the first member.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
