3 Claims.
The invention relates to display devices and more particularly to frames for holding advertising cards. It has for its main object to provide a frame of circular shape in which one or more card board discs, or other objects, may be inserted without having to remove any parts of the frame. Another object is to provide a frame in which cards may be displayed from both the front and rear. A further object is to provide a frame of attractive appearance; which may either be suspended by chains, cords or similar means, or be provided with means so that it may be placed on a support; and which can be manufactured at low cost.
These and various other objects and advantages will be readily understood from the following description and from the accompanying drawing of preferred embodiments of the invention, in which, however, modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the appended claims. In the drawing Fig. l is an elevation of the device showing the cards in place in the frame;
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional side View;
Fig. 3 is another view similar to Fig. 1, but showing the cards in the act of being inserted or removed;
Fig. 4 is a fragmental, cross-sectional View of a frame of slightly modified shape;
Fig. 5 is a front view of a modification of the frame;
Fig. 6 is a side View of Fig. 5;
Fig. 7 is an enlarged fragmental View of the frame illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6, shown with the cards in place; and
Fig. 8 is a similar view, showing a card being inserted.
Referring rst to Figs. 1 to 3, the device consists of a circular frame III and, in this instant, of two circular advertising cards II and I2. An angularly disposed slit I3 is milled, or otherwise formed, in the frame while a notch I4 is cut in the edge of each of the cards. The point I5, which is formed by milling the slit, is preferably pressed slightly inwardly towards the center of the frame, and the frame, which in this instant is shown as circular in cross-section, is provided with a slot I6 in which the cards are held. The frame is suspended by chains or cords I'I which are fastened in eyelets I8 secured on the frame.
I'he cards are removed from the frame by rotating them in the frame, one at a time, until the straight edge of the notch I4 is engaged by the point I5. 'Ihis causes the edge to work up through the slit I3 and consequently on the out- (Cl. LIIL-151i) side of the frame, as shown at I9 in Fig. 3. The continuous turning of the cards will unscrew them from the frame. The cards are inserted in a similar manner. While I prefer to form a single slit in one side of the frame only, it is evident that one, or more than one, slit might be formed in both sides of the frame.
In Fig. 4 the frame 20 is shown rectangular in cross-section; it, as Well as the cards, is otherwise constructed similarly to the frame just described.
Figs. 5 to 8 show a frame somewhat differently constructed. In this case, the frame 2I is split at 22 while the cards 23 and 2li are provided with notches 25 as in the other cards. 'I'o insert the cards in this frame, the open ends 26 and 2'I of the frame are sprung sidewards, as plainly shown in Fig. 8, and the card, starting from the notch, is screwed in as in the former case. To hold the frame in the sidewardly-sprung position, a plurality of points 28 and depressions 29 are formed on each of the ends of the frame.
The frame is so made` that when in the closed position, shown in Fig. '7, it has suii'icient tension to hold the ends tightly together. A frame of this construction is preferably suspended by a single cord or chain 39 fastened in eyelets 3I secured on the frame. Either of the frames may be provided with means for standing them on a support, instead of suspending them. In such cases any suitable support may be used, as for example the bracket 32, shown in Figs. 5 and 6.
While I have shown and described two cards used in the frame, it is evident that a single card, imprinted on one or both sides, may be substituted. In like manner, while I have mentioned that the device is particularly well suited for displaying advertising cards, it may, of course, nd many other uses.
Having described the invention and its objects, what I claim as new and wish to protect by Letters Patent is:-
1. A display device of the class described comprising a circular frame having an inner circumferential groove, discs adapted to be held in said groove, a slit cut in the frame, a notch cut in the edge of each of the discs, said notches in combination with said slit providing the means whereby the discs may be inserted in and removed from the frame by turning them in relation thereto.
2. A display device of the class described comprising a circular frame having an inner circumferential groove, a disc adapted to be held in said groove, an angularly-disposed slit cut in one side 55 l0 be held in said groove, an angularly-disposed slit cut in one side of the frame so as to leave a point extending inwardly to the groove, a notch cut in the edge of each of the discs, said discs in comhina-tion with said point providing means Whereby the discs may be inserted and removed from said frame by turning them in relation thereto, and means for suspending the device from a support.
