Letters Peteur No. 108,887, aerea November 1, 1870.
. v e IMPROVEMENTYIN CARD-RAclvcs.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
whom Macy concern.- Bc it knownthat L'JoHN F. CURTIS, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have in,
vented certain Improvements in Advertising-Gases;
and I do herebyl declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description thereof, 'reference heilig had to 'the annexed drawings making part of thisspecification, in which- Figure l is a front elevation of my iinprovedadver-` rising-case. Y
Figure 2 is a verticalseclion on line x a: of' fig. 1. Figure is a vertical seetionon line y 1/ of iigil. Figure 4 is a .perspective View of the adjustable vlining ot' the pockets.
The same letters are used in all thengures to indicate 'identical parts.
This invention relates to advertising'cascs; and My improvements consist in providing, under each compartment containing an advertisement, a pocket for the reception of cards and circulars of the advertising firm, andcombining with such-pockets an adjustable lining, for the purpose ot adj ustiug the depth o`t` such pockets to cards of different sizes; and, secondly, in means for holding the panes of glass covering the :ulvertiscments in place, all as will be more fully set forth in the following description and claims.
In the Vannexed drawings- A represents the back or body of the case, consisting of a board or frame-work of wood or other suitable material, and made, preferably, in the rectangular form shown.
'lh'c upper portion ot' the face ot this board is pre-- f vided with any required number of dials, with movabie hands, to be used for indicating the arrival and departure ot' trains, and is covered by a hinged window, A'.
Below the railway-guide the hoard is provided with molding-strips around its edges,- and its face is laid oii vertically, by strips a a', into rectangular spa'ces, alternatelywide and narrow ones, the latterbeing intended for the insertion of railroad-cards showing stations, distances, oc.
The wide spaces are again divided horizontally into compartments of suitable size for the reception ot' advertisements, 'by the intermediate pockets B, which are constructed by cutting a recess obli'lucly into the back A.
In the rear side of this recess, which is made ,slanting down-ward, a thin, narrow strip or board, B', is secured, iush with such side, but projecting with its nppcrcd ge suli cien tl y far above the surface ofthe advertis-` ing compartment above it to afford support to and hold the pane of glass, which is to cover the advertisement when inserted.
These-pockets are made of such a depth that businesscards of ordinary large size, when inserted therein, will stick ont a little, to bring them'fto the notice of passers-'by and facilitate their withdrawal. i
'.in order, however, to make smaller cards to thus project, I provide each pocket with an adjustablelining, B2, which is simply a piece ot' sheet metal, bent in the i'orm shown in fig. 4, ofthe length'ot' thepock ets, and' perforated at b, for the insertion of a hook, by -which to raise it. 'lhe mouth of this liuingis slightly wider than the pockets, so that, when inserted therein, it will be held at any pointv by bracing against the sides.
advertisements are slipped iu through slots in the horizontal molding under the railroad-guide, and held in.
of the boards B1, (except in the lowest tier, where it 'A -is held in a groove in the .molding below it,) and it-is secured at its upper edge by a metallic clasp, C.
rthe straight side vof this'clasp is slipped under a strip of metal, C', secured across the back ofthe com partmeut near its upper edgefar enough to hook with Y itscurved portion over thc upper edge of kthe pane -ot glass.
This arrangement affords inconvenient Irreans i'ior removing advertisements and ,inserting others withont disarranging' any other compartments thanthose in which the changes are tothe made.
That I elaimas my invention, and desire to sof y cure by Letters Patent, isA
1. In combination with the pockets B, the adj astablc lining 15"', substantially as andlfor the purpose set forth.
strip C', and hooking over the upper edge of the pane ot' glass to secure the latter, substantially vas set forth.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name'to presence of two subscribing this specification in the witnesses.
` JOHN F. CURTIS.
