COMBINATION FAN.
' Application filed .Tune 20,
My invention relates to a new and useful improvement in a combination fan adapted for use particularly by baseball fans, and it is an object of the present invention to pro vide a fan which may be used for the usual purposes of a fan, and at the same time, provide a score card for keeping the score of a'baseba-ll game.
Another object of .the invention is the provision of a fan of this class which Wlll provide a space for keeping a scoreand at the same time, serve as an advertising 1116- Another object of the invention is the pro- Vision of a fan having a pair of superimposed engaging parts, one of which s hingedly connected on the other, and maf be swung into engagement with either face of the other and secured'in any, other position of engagement. a
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
The invention Consists in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention willqbe bestundersto'od by a referenceto theaccompanymg drawings which form a part of this specification, and in which,
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the invention. v
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the invention showing the parts opened and the staff separated. 1
Fig. 3 is a central sectional view through the invention. I
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on line 4-4 of Fig. 1.
As shown in the drawings the fan is provided with a handle comprising a section 7 having at its free end a socket 8 in wh1ch is adapted to engage a pencil 9 secured to the handle section 10. The opposite end of the section 7 is slitted as at 11 to provide bifurcations 12 and 13 between which is positioned the fan body 14 made from card board or other suitable material. This fan body 14 is cut away as at'15, leaving a projection 16 at its base, the body 14 being cut away on an arc. Displayed on the inner face of the body 14 is a ruled portion 17 to provide places for keeping a baseball score. A cooperating fan body 18 is connected by a flexible retaining member 19 to the outer end of the body 14, this body 18 being cut away as at 19 to accommodate the raised 1927. Serial No. 200,049.
When the body 18 is folded over upon the body 14 so that the'raised portion 16 engages at itsedge the cut away portion 19 the cords 23 and 24 maybe drawn through the slits 21 and 22 to lock these partsinfixed relation, the advertising sheet 20 being clamped between the members 18 and 14. In this way when the pencil 9 is inserted into the socket 8 byia press lit, the device may be used for a fan, the handlesimulating a baseball bat. When it is desired to use the device for a, score card, the body 18 may be swung into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, the cords 23 and 24 again engaging in the slits 21 and 22 for securing the bodies 18 and 14 in fixed relation. When used in this manner the opposite sides of the fan will serve as the score card, the flap or loose sheet 20 presenting a surface upon which advertising medium may be displayed. It is believed evident that if desired the sheet 20 maybe eliminated, the surface of the fan upon which the score is not kept serving to carry advertising display. It is believed that the utility of the device is apparent, while its simplicity of structure and economy of manufacure is also believed evident. v
While I have illustrated and described the preferred formof my invention, I do not wish to limit myself to theprecise details of structure shown, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims. f
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A fan of the class described, comprising: a handle; a fan body mounted on said handle; a cooperating fan body swingably mounted on said first mentioned fan body PATENT car es.
ti l
and adapted for folding into engagement with either face of said fan body; and means for securing said fan bodies in fixed relation in either position. i
2. A fan of the class described comprising: a handle; a fan body carried by said handle; a cooperating fan body swingably mounted on said first mentioned fan body and adapted for lying in engagement with either face of said first mentioned body, said first mentioned body having slits formed therein; and means mounted on said c0- operating body engageable in said slits for securing said bodies in fixed relation.
A device of the class described comprising: a handle; a fan body carried by said handle having the major portion of its area cut away; a cooperating fan body swingably mounted on said first mentioned body and with a contour and dimensions to correspond to said cut away portion of said first mentioned body and adapted upon lying on one face of said first mentioned bodyto fill said cut away portion; and means for securing said cooperating body in engagement with said face of said first mentioned body.
4. A fan of the class described comprising: a handle; a fan body mounted on said handle, said fan body being thicker at the portion connected to said handle than throughout the major portion of its area; a cooperating fan body swingably mounted on said first mentioned body and adapted to lie in engagement with either face thereof,
and upon lying in engagement with one face forming a continuance of said'thick portion.
5. A fan of the class described comprising: a handle; a fan body mounted on: said handle; a cooperating body 1 swingably mounted on said first mentioned body; a display member mounted on said first mentioned body and adapted to lie between said bodies upon the folding of said cooperating body into engagement with one face of said first mentioned body.
6. A fan of the class describedcomprising: a handle; a fan body mounted on said handle; a cooperating body swingably mounted on said first mentioned body; a dis play member mounted on said first mentioned body and adapted to lie between said bodies upon the folding of said cooperating body into engagement with one face of said first mentioned body; and means 7 for retaining said cooperating body in engagement with said face. I
7 A fan comprising a handle; a fan body mounted on said handle provided with slits formed in its edge; a "coo crating body swingably mounted on said iirst mentioned body and adapted for lying in engagement with either face of said first 'mentioned body; flexible members. seouredito said cooperating body for engaging in said slits and securing said bodies in fixed relation.
In testimony whereof I have signed the foregoing specification.
