Description
Patented Apr. 18, 1933 UNITED STATES EDWARD A. RASBRIDGE, OF LEBANON, PENNSYLVANIA CARD HOLDER Application filed December 28, 1931.
My invention relates to card holders and more particularly to holders for cards or name plates to be used as markers for head-stones and grave monuments. One of the important objects of the present invention is to provide a device of this character which will protect the card or name plate from moisture and thus prolong the life of the marker. A further object is to provide a device of this character wherein the card may be removed and replaced when desired and which at the same time is of a simple and practical construction, inexpensive to manufacture and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.
Other objects and advantages reside in the detailed construction and combination of features hereinafter more fully described and forming part of this application, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout and in which Figure 1 is a front elevational view of the complete card holder,
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on a line 2-2 of Figure 1,
Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view taken on a line 3-3 of Figure 1,
Figure 4: is an end elevational view, and
Figure 5 is a side elevational view of the inner card holder.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, the invention comprises an inner card holder designated generally at 5 composed of a pair of transparent sheets of material 6, preferably glass, and secured in spaced relation by wax 7 or other waterproof cement which covers the bottom and end edges of the glass.
The top edge of the glass is unobstructed to permit the insertion of a card or name plate 8 on which a suitable inscription or date may be printed or engraved. V
The invention further includes an outer holder and casing 9 which is constructed of thin sheet metal and comprises a back 10 which completely covers the back of the inner holder 5, the side and bottom edges of the back designated at 11 and 12 respectively, being bent inwardly o-verthe edges of the illustrated in the accompanying drawing Serial No. 583,445.
inner holder to partly extend over the front thereof and thus secure the inner holder in position.
The bottom edge 12 overlies the side edge 11 to provide sufiicient space to form a channel 13 open at each end to enable drainage of water which works down at the front of the holder. 7
The top of the holder is provided with a cover 14 of U-shaped formation in cross section which snugly fits over both the inner and outer holders, the ends of the cover projecting beyond the sides of the holder. The
cover is pivotally attached adjacent one end to the back 10 by a pivot pin 15 which enables the cover to swing open to afford access to the inner holder for removal thereof in order to replace the card or name plate when desired.
It is to be understood that the form of my 79 invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same and that certain changes in the shape, size and arrangement ofthe parts may be M made without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.
I claim:
1. A card holder comprising a pair of plates, at least one of which is transparent, a coating of cementitious waterproof material covering the side and bottom edges of the plates and securing the same in spaced relation, the upper edges of the plates beingopen to receive a card or name plate, a casing for the plates of sheet metal disposed flat against the back of the plates and having its side and bottom edges turned inwardly at the front, said bottom edge being spaced from the bottom of the plates and open at each end to provide a drain channel and a cover fitted over the top of the casing.
2. A card holder comprising a pair of transparent plates having a coating of cementitious water-proof material along three edges thereof for securing the plates in spaced relation, one edge of the plates being open to receive a card or name plate, and a frame for supporting the plates having a cover over the open edge of the plates;
3. A card holder comprising a pair of plates, at least one of which is transparent, a coating of Wax along three sides thereof and securing the same in spaced relation, and a frame for removably supporting the plates, said frame having a cover for the uncoated edge of the plates.
In testimony whereof I afix my signature.
EDWARD A. RASBRIDGE.
