EASEL.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 23, 1915.
Application filed OctoberB, 1910. Serial No. 585,006.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES T. SPRING- MAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Detroit, in the county of WVayne and State of Michigan, have invented a new and Improved Easel, of which the following is a specification. I
This invention relates to means for bold ing cards, photographs, calendars and other light articles in an upright position and its object is to produce an easel which may be formed complete at a single stroke of the cutting die, which shall be self locking, and which may be made at low cost.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a card and easel. Fig. 2 is a view of a completed easel before being attached to the card. Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the card and easel. Fig. 4 is a cross section on the line 44 of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a cross section on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4 on a slightly larger scale. 1
Similar reference characters designate like parts throughout the Several views.
The different parts of this easel are the supporting member 1, the back-stay 2, and the locking member 8, all formed from a single sheet of material. The cutting die is so formed as to cut through the sheet of straw-board, wood-veneer, or other suitable material, along the outer lines of the easel shown in Fig. 2, and along the heavy lines vwhich border the locking member 3 and the small tongue or latch-like member 4. The long lines 5 and 6 and cross line 7 are cut into the material so the back-stay 2 and looking member 3 can be bent freely at-right angles to the supporting member 1, while the line 8 from the end of the cut 7 to the long cut 6 is also cut through. The locking member 3 has therefore a long hinge which greatly stiifens it, and the finger or projection 9 at its outer end may be firmly gripped by the tongue or latch-like member 4 as shown in Fig. 5. The notch or recess 10 in the locking member receives the portion 11 of the back-stay just inside of the tongue 4.
When the easel is to be secured to the card 12, the supporting member 1, including the projection 13, is coated with cement and pressed against the card. If desired, a cement which melts when heated may be first applied to the back and permitted to dry,
after which the easel may be pressed against shipment. If desired, the back of the easelmay be sewed or riveted to the articleto be supported. When the cards are to be set up, the. back-stay is bent out at right angles along the lines 5 and 6, and the locking member 3 is bent down at the proper angle on the line 7. The small finger or projection 9 will slide along the back-stay until it reaches the tongue or latch-like member 4 which swings out, permitting the finger or projection to pass through the back-stay. The inner end of the notch 10 in the locking member will receive the edge of the back-stay, as shown in Fig. 4, and the tongue or latch-like-member 4 can be pushed back so as to. grip the finger or projection 9 as shown in Fig. 5.
The sizes and proportions of the different parts may be varied according to the materials forming the easels and the size an Weight of the article supported.
Having now explained my construction, what I claim as mv invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is An easel, having in combination a supporting member, a back-stay member connected to one side of the supporting member and bendable to a substantially perpendicular position with respect to the supporting member, a locking member connected at one end with the supporting member and adapted to be swung back so that the opposite end engages with the back-stay member, and means for interengaging said locking member with the back-stay member, comprising a projection on one of the said members and a latchlike member on the other member, whereby said latch-like member can be swung to engage with the projection but whereby it resists disengagement by presenting rigid portions to the disengaging effort, substan tially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
CHARLES T. SPRINGMAN.
