SAMPLE-DISPLAY DEVICE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Noiz. 11, 1919.
Appneation med November 29,1918. serial No. 264,565.
To all whom t may concern .f A
Be it known that I, TWILLIAM E. CHIP- MAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Easton, in the county of Northampton and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sample-Display Devices, whereof the following is a specification, reference being had tuo the accompanying drawings.
The invention relates to display devices such as may be advantageously employed in showing off samples of textile fabrics, colorings, etc.
The invention is directed to devices of the above character capable of being readily set up for shop-counter display, and with like ease, folded into a compact unit for distribution or mailing.
The invention also comprehends a novel means for attaching the samples to the sheet without the aid 0f adhesives.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure I, is a perspective view showing my invention in erected position for counter display.
Fig. II, is a plan view of the card-board blank when laid flat.
Fig. III, illustrates the appearance of the device when folded for mailing, and
Fig. IV, is a cross sectional view showing the method of .anchoring the sample ends in the retaining apertures of the blank.
The blank indicated at 1, may be made of card-board, celluloid or other sheet material, creased or scored transversely as at 2, and 3, in Fig. II, so as to be foldable in opposite directions along these lines. In the present instance, the blank is divided into three sections,.and of these, the ones indicated at 6, and 7 conjointly form an easel, while the portion 5 lies fiat upon the supporting surface when the device is set up as shown in perspective in Fig. I.
The crease 3, is interrupted in the middle by an offset cut 8, preferably in the form of a semi-circle having its center coincident with the line of folding, so that a tab 9, is formed in prolongation of the section 6. .This tab may be conveniently employed for afixing a trade mark, or other identification symbol.
The samples to be displayed are attached to either or both of the sections 5, and 6, as desired, and any suitable method of attachment may be resorted to.- In the present embodiment I have illustrated my invention as particularly adapted for displaying various samples of colorings of textile fabrics, for example, hosiery textures of standard hues. In such adaptation, the employment of adhesives for aiiixingthe samples to the blank, often results in discoloration and imperfect attachment. In order to overcome these objections, I have devised a novel method of attachment which is not only efficient functionally, but which also presents a neat appearance to the eye. In accomplishing this purpose, the sections 5, and 6, of the blank are perforated adjacent each edge by a double row of equally spaced apertures 10, and 11, the former being preferably about three times the size 0f the latter. Each pair of the double series is intercommunicating through a cross slit indicated at 12. The goods samples are cut into ribbon form and severed to lengths corresponding approximately to the width of the mounting blank. These pieces are then laid cross-wise of the card, theends hunched and inserted through the corresponding receiving lapertures 10. The ends are then grasped at the rear of the card and drawn through the slits 12, into the smaller apertures 11, the incidental pinchin attending this operation causing them to le crowded within the restricted area of said aperture and thereby effectively anchoring them. The anchoring of the two sample ends in this way may be accomplished concurrently, at one operation; and at the same time the intermediate portion or body of the sample may be drawn up, so as to remain tightened to any desired degree of slack or tautness. Accidental withdrawal is further resisted by the flaring of the protruding ends of the samples in the rear of the card as indicated at 15. When folded, as shown in Fig. III, the device may be readily slipped into an envelop for mailing.
I-Iaving thus described my invention, I claim:
1. A sample display card provided near its edges with a double row of receiving apertures for the ends of fabric samples, one series of each row of apertures being of smaller diameter than the other series, and each pair of apertures being connected by a lcross slit, whereby the sample end after being inserted into the larger of said apertures may be drawn through the slit and anchored in the smaller of said apertures.
2. A sample display card having means f the adjacent apertures of the two rows being their smaller ones, corresponding apertures in each of the two series being connected by Cross slits, so that after the ends of a sample have been inserted in the larger apertures l0 they may be concurrently drawn through the slits and anchored in the smaller apertures with the body of the sample between them tightened to any desired degree.v
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed by name at Easton, Pennsylvania, this 25th day of November, 1918. c
