UNITED STATES PATENT Orrro.
MARY LOUISA SHATTUOK, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT I N TlCKET-CLASPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 158,533, dated January .5, 1875; application filed Oztober 15, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, IVIARY L. SHATTUOK, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in (lard-Holders for Trunks, &c., of which the following is a specification Heretofore a holder for receiving addresstags has been formed of a semicircular metallic plate, its edge being bent or folded, under which a tag is designed to be placed, said tag being retained in place by a peculiarlybent spring, one end of which is pivoted upon the plate,'while the other end is constructed in such form as to be sprung under the turnednp edge of the plate, so as to bear upon the ta g and prevent its displacement, and at the same time the peculiar form of such spring being for the purpose of forming a bail, whereby the plate with its tag can be attached and suspended from an article. In such device no provision is made for nailing the holder in position directly upon the article to be addressed; and, furthermore, a peculiarly-constructed plate must be employed to enable the spring to be operated for securing in position or removing the addressedtag, and, as is evident, a skillful adjustment of the free end of the spring is necessary, so as to retain the same olf of the written address on the tag.
This invention relates to a contrivance for holding address-cards to trunks, bags, 850., and whereby the card is securely retained, while it is capable of being removed without detriment to itself or the holder. I
My invention consists in a base-plate proided with side flanges, and with a springleaf, which latter has a tendency to bear upon the base-plate, or the card which is placed 011 it, and is inserted in the flanges in such a manner as to retain the card in position, the said base-plate having suitable openings, through which fastening nails or screws can be passed for attaching the holder directly upon the article to be addressed.
This invention is illustrated in the accompan ying drawing, in which* Figure 1 is a face view. section.
Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.
The letter A designates the base-plate of my holder, provided with ears a, which are perforated for the passage of screws or rivets, by means of which the holder is secured to a trunk, bag, or other object. In the present example the plate has four sides, three of which are turned up and over, so as to form flanges B, while the fourth side'is provided with a spring-leaf, U. This leaf 0 is connected to the side or edge of the base-plate by means of a spring-hinge, D, or a spring may be combined with it in any other suitable manner, the same tending to cause the leaf to bear on the surface'ofthe base-plate A, or of the card placed thereon, as next described.
In proceeding to adjust the card in the holder, I lift the spring-leaf 0 sufficient to allow of inserting the edges of the card under the side flanges B, which being done, the leaf 0 is left to follow the action of its spring, thus bearing upon the card, as before stated, and securely holding it in place.
The card, of course, may be removed at will; and by this contrivance the method usually practiced of securing the address-card to trunks, &c., by means of tacks or nails, is averted, and the good appearance, as Well as the material of the trunk, is preserved.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The combination of the spring-hinge D and oscillating leaf or flap O With the cardholder A, having the bottom and side flanges b and suitable openings at, substantially as described, for the purpose specified.
In testimony that I claim have hereunto set my hand September, 1874.
MRS. MARY LOUISA SHATTUOK.
