JAMES MURRAY WASHBURN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
SUPPORT FOR CARDS, PICTURES, AND THE LIKE.
To all whom, 2'25 may concern:
Be it known that 1, JAMES MURRAY VV'AS'H- BURN, a citizen of the L mited States, resld- 1 ing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Supports for Cards, Pictures, and the Like, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to supports for cards, pictures and the like for propping up the article to which the support is attached.
The support of my invention is readily applied to the desired article and is char acterized by extreme simplicity of construction. This support comprises a piece of tape preferably gummed so as to be readily applied to the desired article and provided with an integral tongue which is turned back and pasted down at its free end over the tape to form a horizontal loop for receiving the upper end of a metallic stay. This stay may be of wire or sheet metal and is readily adjustable into supporting position. In the simplest form of my invention, the stay is formed of a single piece of metal. If desired, the stay may consist of two parts hinged together, the top part being fastened to the tape and the lower part being adjustable into supporting position.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view showing my improved support supplied to a card or picture, the latter being partly broken away to show the support more clearly; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of my support, showing the integral tongue in full line position before it is turned back to form the loop and in dotted line position after it has been turned back to form a supporting loop for the stay; Fig. 3 is a modified form showing the tape provided with an integral extension whereby the article may be suspended or supported, as desired; Fig. 4 is a modified form showing the stay made of two parts hinged together; Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4 showing a slightly different form of the two-part stay; and Fig. 6 shows a form of support in which the stay is stamped out of a single piece of sheet metal.
The different figures in the drawing are all perspective views.
Referring first to the form shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, it will be seen that the piece of tape 1 is provided with an integral tongue 2 which is adapted to be turned back and Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed April 6, 1911.
Patented July 30, 1912.
Serial No. 619,314.
pasted down over the gummed surface 3 of the tape, as shown in full lines in Figs. 1 and 3 and in dotted lines in Fig. 2. When thus turned back upon itself the tongue 2 forms a horizontal loop for receiving the upper end 4 of the metallic stay 5. In the Iorm shown in Figs. 1,2and 3,the stay 5 is formed of a single piece of wire and com prises the supporting legs 6 connected together at the upper end 4. Normally the legs 6 are straight throughout the entire length. After the tape has been pasted on to the back of the card or picture P, or other article, the legs 6 are bent outwardly into sup porting position, as shown in Fig. 1, to prop up the card or picture P at the desired angle. In Fig. 3 the tape 1 is provided with an integral extension 7 to the upper end of which is fastened the ring 8. This form of support, in addition to propping up the article to which it is attached, also performs the function of suspending the article from the ring 8 on the extension 7.
In the form shown in Fig. 4 the stay consists of an upper part or member 4 provided with loops 9 in which the lower member 5 is hinged. The upper member 4 is fastened to the tape 1 by means of the looped tongue 2, precisely in the same manner as the stay 5 in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 is fastened to the tape 1. The lower member 5 of the two-part stay in Fig. 4 may be rocked into supporting position about the hinges 9. The outward movement of the lower member 5 is limited by the stop projection 10 formed at the upper end of the hinged member 5, and adapted to engage the tape 1*.
The form of support shown in Fig. 5 is similar to Fig. 4 in that the stay is formed of two parts or members hinged together. The upper part or member 4 of the construction shown in Fig. 5 is quite similar to the upper member 4 of Fig. 4 and is secured in position on the tape l by means of the tongue 2, precisely as described in connection with Figs. 1, 2 and 3. The member 4" is provided with hinges 9 for receiving the lower part or member 5". The only difference between members 5 and 5 is that in the former the ends of the wire are at the bottom, while in the latter the ends of the wire are at the top to form stop lugs 11 which engage the tape 1 to limit the outward movement of the hinged member.
In the form of support shown in Fig. 6
the stay 5 consists of a single piece of readily flexible sheet metal formed at its upper end with an opening 12 for receiving the free end of the looped tongue 2 on the tape 1. The horizontal upper strip 18 of the sheet metal stay 5 passes through the horizontal loop of the tape 2. The stay is thus secured to the tape in exactly the same way as the wire stays above described.
I do not herein claim broadly a support comprisinga piece of gummed tape to which a readily flexible metallic stay is securely fastened because this is claimed in my copending application Ser. No. 619,313, filed April 6, 1911.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
1. A support of the class described, comprising a piece of gummed tape adapted to be readily applied to an article, said tape being provided with an integral tongue my name this th day of March, 1911.
turned back and pasted down atits free end over the gummed face of the tape to form a loop, and a metallic stay crossing the gummed surface of said tape and passing at its upper end through said loop, said stay being immovably held between the gummed surface and the back of the article to be supported, said stay being readily adjustable into supporting position.
2. A support of the class described, comprising a piece of tape gummed throughout all of one side, said tape being adapted for ready attachment to an article and being provided with an integral tongue projecting from one side thereof and having its gummed face pasted down on the gummed face of the tape to form a loop, and a stay stamped out of flexible sheet metal and having legs connected by a horizontal top portion, the upper parts of said legs passing across the gunnned face of sa1d tape, and
the horizontal top portion of the stay passing through the loop of said tape and contacting with the gummed inner surface of said loop said legs being connected at their lower ends by a broad base.
In Witness whereof, I hereunto subscribe J AMES MURRAY WASHBURN. Witnesses A. A. THOMAS, M. H. DOOLEY.
