Application files. March 15, 1920.

T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY M. YlNos'r,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Harrisburg, in the county of Dauphin and tate of Pennsylvania,-have invented new and useful Improvements in Advertising Devices, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention is in the nature of a novel advertising device. 7 i

The object is to arrange in a transparent body an element having printed matter thereon which is protected by the body and in which the characters appearing on the said element are rendered clearly discernible.

A fin-ther object is to produce a novel advertising means which comprises a member having printed matter or other indicia thereon and which is of a nature to permit of the same being inserted in a transparent receptacle, such as a glass bottle and held immovably therein.

The foregoing objects, and others which will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, may be accomplished by a simple construction, combination and arrangement of parts such-as is disclosed by the drawings.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a frontview of the improvement.

Fig. 2 is a rear View thereof.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view approximately 7 on the line 33 of Fig. 1. v

In the drawings I have illustrated a bottle which is indicated by the numeral 1. V

The advertising novelty comprises an elongated member 2 which. has secured thereto a shorter transverse member 3. The members 2 and 3 may be in the nature of strips of cardboard, celluloid, rubber or any other desired material, and the connecting means between the strips is in the nature of a double headed rivet which is indicated by the numeral 4:- The heads of the rivet are round and lightly bind against the outer faces of the strips. The strip 2 is of a bottom of the member 1 and to be received in the neck thereof. The portion of the strip received in the neck is contacted by the cork or stopper 5 of the member 1, so that the strip 2 is held centrally and longitudinally in the member 1.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 365,977.

The strip 3 is of a length to have its ends frictlonally of the flask 1.

lower end of. the strip 2 contacts with the bottom of the flask, a suitable instru ment is employed for contacting with the strip 3 to swing the same on its.

pivot and bring the ends thereof in frictional engagement with the inner side walls of the flask. The cork is then inserted in the mouth of the flask and engaging with the outer end of the strip .2 holds the device set up approximately centrally in the flask in the form of a cross. As previously stated the heads of the rivet lightly contact with the members constituting the cross, but such contact is suflicient to prevent the free turning of one of the members on the other. (if course, the cross may be inserted in the flask in a different manner from that described, as for instance when the cross is constructed of yieldable material the trans- Patenred Sept. ""2,

contact with the inner side walls lVhen the device is inserted in the flask, thestrip 3 is preferably swung on its pivot against the strip 2. When the verse arm or strip thereof may be rounded upon itself and readily inserted through the neck of the bottle, and thereafter permitted to expand to its original shape, which will bring the ends thereof into frictional engagement with the side walls of the bottle and only a slight adjustment may be re quired by a suitable instrumentto arrange the transverse arm at a right angle with respect to the vertical arm.

In the construction disclosed by the drawings I have imprinted on the lateral or transverse member on one face of the cross John Barleycorn. On the vertical or central member 2 of the cross I have imprinted Died Jan. 16, 1920. This indicia will serve as a reminder to both ourselves and posterity that alcoholic beverages received their death warrant on January 16, 1920, and the cross will indicate that Chris tianity was the cause of the demise of alcoholic drinks, and also that the cross takes.

the place of such drinks. Thus posterity will be taught that the cross and whisky could not successfully exist together andthat the cross was successful over the whisky.

On the reverse side printed Wake up, John is dead but we have a supply of soft drinks. It will be thus 105. of the cross there is i cross-shaped member having one of its ends contacting With the bottom of the body and its other end received in the neck and con tacted by the cork in the neck, the trans verse member of the crossrhaving its ends contacting With the sides of the body for V holding the cross against lateral movement in the body.

In testimony whereof I ai'liX my signature. 20
