In the accompanying one of -dra ings: V-

Fig. .1 represents a front-elevation of? a display card constructed in accordance with my invention and having an; article, holding rack thereon. v i I Fig. 2 is a side elevation-of Fig. 1.

In detail the construction illustratedgin the drawing comprises a sheetfoffmaterial suchas cardboard, laminated'wood,-;or the.

Therack on the front side of the sheetlies U i beyond the plane of the saidsheetiand' the- I i H coloring or design of said rack is such that when attached to thesaidfsheet, the said rack merges into that portionS of the rack, whereis by the drawn portion of the rack and the 15 I; V .pro]ecting;portionofthe rack in effect,-;pic-: I

tures a rack of relativelyplarge area, whereas thew'saidrack onlyyexists in'that POItlOIl-f 1 1 that projectsbeyond'the faceof the; l I have shownand indicated a rack mountediv-on'ithe forward side of the sheet, itis togbe' understoodfthat any othertype of shelf ;or :shoulder for holding objects to be displayed,'might be mounted onthe forward side 'offth'e sheet, and merged into any dethepidea. a r

v e The rack 4 along its-forward edge is -pro videldiwith slots 6 'therein'atjspaced points} or g alongthe length thereof; andobjeets, such" I Q 1 f 7 as collar buttons, stickpins, or'theilike, are

pin cushion, or some other equivalent holding means might be substituted for the rack. On the rear side of the cut-out sheet at the point where the ends of the rack areat- V 5 tached thereto, I provide .a rubber suction gripper 7 which, on one side thereof, is glued or otherwise securely fastened to the rear side of the sheet and to the bent-over ends of the rack. An r object in attaching the rubber gripper over the bentover ends of the rack" is to lock the rack ends securely" in place and f to prevent anyv dislodgement thereof. The

bottom side of thesuction gripper 7 is concaveand said gripper is formed ,of pliant, r

rubber, whereby the concavity 'm'ay slightly moiste'ned and pressed againstja, planar surface and the suctioncreated within the, concavity of the gripper Will holdthesaidj gripper in place. I

Having thusdescribed this invention, what. I I claim and desire to secure by Letters 'Pat entis: g I r n The combination with.adisplayfcard rnade of a sheet cut out toa predetermined design andhaving a picture on one side thereof harmonizing with the cut-out design; of a rack. for holding articles to be displayed onthe side of the sheet having the picture thereon, said rack being designed to merge into and V for na continuation of a portionof the pic ture .on the sheet; of inturned ends on the rack extended thru the sheetfrom the front.

to the rear side thereof and a rubber suction gripper attached on the rear side of the sheet over the extended ends ofthe rack; In testimony whereof, I have hereunto setmy hand at San Francisco, California, this 3rd day of April 1930.
