DISPLAY-CARD.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed June 28, 1913.
Patented Jan. 13, 1914:. Serial No. 776,424.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PHILIP M. WOLSIEF- FER, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Chicago, county of Cook, State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Display-Cards, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which the figure represents one form of my improved display-card.
This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in display cards, the object being to construct a device of the character described which will be simple, cheap, and easy of manipulation.
The object of my invention is to construct a card of the character described for the dis play of postage stamps and the like, and while I have illustrated the same in the form of a card, it is obvious that the same construction could be employed as a leaf for a book, a series of said leaves being bound together by suitable extensions at the sides thereof.
In the drawings, 1 indicates the back of a card, and 2 are the retaining strips which are secured by a suitable adhesive substance along their lower edges only to the back card 1.
3 are marginal binding strips which are secured by an adhesive substance to the free ends of the strips 2. If desired, the back card 1 could be folded over the ends of the strips 2. The upper free edges of the strips 2 are irregular in shape, that is, they are provided with alternating recesses and pro- 4 jections, either curved or pointed as olesired, the purpose of these projections being to enable the operator in inserting a stamp in the card, by slightly bending the card, to provide a space between the projections and the back wall of the card into which the stamp may be inserted. Heretofore in cards of this kind, so far as I am aware, the free edges of the transverse strips have been straight, with the result that it is sometimes difficult to insert a stamp behind the strip even though the card is bent. In my construction, the upward projections along the upper edges of the strips can, if desired, be bent outwardly by hand slightly, and when this is done the stamp can be inserted therebehind without lifting or bending the card. The outward bend of the upward projection portions of the strip will in no way interfere with the retaining powers of the strip nor affect their gripping action on the stamp. A further advantage in the use of strips having irregular upper edges lies in the fact that the projections or recesses can be so arranged that there will be a certain number for each strip. This will enable the proper spacing of the stamps behind the strips, and the number of projections agreeing with the number of stamps so located therebehind, the total number of stamps on the card can be ascertained at a glance without counting those supported by the individual strips.
What I claim is:
A display device of the character described comprising a back, and strips secured at their lower edges to said back, the upper free edges of said strips being formed with alternate spaces and projections.
In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses, this 18th day of June, 1913.
PHILIP M. VVOLSIEFFER.

HENRY Anus FOWLER, KATHERINE SHERRY.
