CARD HOLDER Filed Feb. 20, 1930 g 6 WM 227x221? /4::z.' Georsye Dad/San;
Patented Apr. 5,, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Y GEORGE H. DAWSON, or CAMBRIDGE, MAssACIIUsET s, ASSIGNOR To WILSON-JONES COMPANY, or CIIICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF MASSACHUSETTS CARD HOLDER Application filed February 20, .1930. Serial NO. 429,869.
This invention relates to a card holder which is designed for holding cards in overlapping relation in an indexed tray or the like and it is an object of this invention to provide a holder that will support the cards without causing undue bulkiness in the tray, and that will allow the cards to be easily detached.
The invention comprises the novel structure and combination of parts hereinafter described and more particularly pointed out and defined in the appended Claims.
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate a preferred form of this invention and in which similar reference numerals refor to similar features in the diflerent views:
Figure 1 is a perspective View of a card holder involving this invention with a card supported thereon.
Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary elevational view of the card holder per se.
Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken upon the line IIIIII of Figure 2.
Figure 4-. is an enlarged sectional view taken upon the line IVIV of Figure 2.
Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8 illustrate the card holder with different forms of index cards supported thereon.
The card holder involving this invention consists of a flat metal plate 1 having a tubular formation 2 at its upper edge. The plate 1 is cut away at its ends as indicated at 1 leaving the tubular portion free to provide projecting pintles for supporting the carrier in a tray. Suitable tongues or prongs 3 are struck from the plate 1 for supporting the index cards or sheets. In order to stiffen the tongues 3, V-shaped humps 4c are struck outwardly at the base of the tongues 3. These humps 4 will also facilitate the removal of the Cards or sheets from the carrier in that the cards will not so readiy catch the rear end of the carrier.
Different forms of cards or sheets are adapted to be suspended upon the carrier. In Figure 1 the card 5 Consisting of a single sheet which is provided with suitable'slots 6 for receiving the tongues 3. The card is adapted to be suitably buckled when the same is attached upon the prongs 3 as is well known in the art.
In F igure 5. a folded card or sheet is shown suspended upon the carrier. In this instance the netherpart of the card is slotted for receiving the tongue. It will be noted in F ig: ure 5 that the card is folded at its upper margin. In Figure 6 there is shown a card or sheet which is folded at its lower margin so as to overlap the nether portion. to a point adjacent the prongs that support the same.
In Figure 7, there is shown a card 8 which has a marginal fold at its upper portion and the inner portion of the folded margin is suitably slotted for receiving the tongues 3. A second card 9 similar to the card 5 is suspended upon the same tongues 3 and the at taching portion thereof overlaps the marginal fold of the card 8.
In Figure 8, a somewhat different arrangement is shown in which a pair of cards 10 and 11 are positioned in substantially superposed relation with their upper margins folded downwardly. ed portions of the cards 10 and 11 are suitably slotted for receiving the tongues 3.
It will be noted that the card holder 1 is made of exceedingly thin metal so as to prevent any bulkiness when the cards are mounted in a tray. It will also be noted that the fiat portion of the holder extends a considerable distance below the tubular portion in order to provide a good base for supporting the cards and facilitating the removal and replacement of the cards with respect to the holders when the same are mounted in a tray. It will be appreciated that this form of holder is susceptible of supporting one or more cards, or supporting folded cards which provide a plurality of index faces.
I am aware that many changes may be made and numerous details of construction may be varied through a wide range without departing from the principles of this invention, and I, therefore, do not purpose limiting the patent granted hereon otherwise than necessitated by the prior art.
I claim as my invention:
1. A card holder consisting of a thin sheet The downwardly foldof metal having a tubular margin extending beyond the ends of the sheet and having tongues struck therefrom with a reinforcement at the base of each tongue.
2. In a visible index, a card holder consisting of a sheet of metal having tongues struck therefrom and a card having a folded portion with apertures for engaging said tongues, said folded portion and tongues being concealed by the main body portion of said card.
3. In a visible index, a card carrier having tongues struck therefrom, and a card consisting of a nether sheet and an outer sheet, said nether sheet having apertures to receive said tongues and said outer sheet concealing said tongues and apertures. I
4;. A card carrier comprising a body portion of thin sheetmetal having a tubular margin, extending beyond the lateral edges of said body portion, said body portion having card-holding tongues struck therefrom.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name at Cambridge, Middlesex county, Massachusetts.
GEORGE H. DAWSON.
