a (Flatma- I (en. ace-'19) 'fIhe present invention relates to a display card and, more particularly, to a display card designed was practically impossible without mutilatlng the slits, while in others the hairpins were not held in position at all securely and, in many instances, it-was impossible to insert the hairpins in the cards with any reasonable degree ofspeed.
An object of the present invention is to provide a display card for hairpins adapted to exhibit the hairpins attractively and hold them securely in position. A further object is to provide such a card in which the hairpin may be mounted with great ease and speed. A still further object is to provide such a card from which the hairpins may be removed card.
The above objects are accomplished according to the present invention by providing a display card for hairpins in which there are a series of slits adjacent the upper edge of the card, each of said slits defining a downwardly projecting tongue having a pair of laterally extending ears at the lower portion thereof, the width of said tongue at the lower portion thereof being greater than the width of the rounded closed end of the hairpin to be displayed while the width of said tongueabove the lower portion thereof is less than the width of the rounded'closed end of the hairpin, together with a series of slits adjacent the lower edge of the card through which the legs of the hairpins to be displayed are adapted to be passed, the series of slits adjacent the upper and lower edges of the card being parallel and so aligned as to hold a series of hairpins substantially parallel to each other.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing wherein:
Fig. 1 is a plan view of a display card showing several hairpins mounted therein;
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. l.
Referring to, the drawing, and more particularly to Fig. 1, reference numeral ll designates a rectangular piece of cardboard, or other suitable and replaced without mutilating thematerial, and having therein a series of slits generally designated ,as 82 adjacent the upper edge of the rectangular piece it and a second series of slits, generally designated as it, and being adjacent the lower edge oi the rectangular piece l l and substantially parallel with the serle of slits l2. I Each of the slits in the series it defines a downwardly projecting tongue it having a pair of laterally extending ears it and it. As shown in Fig. 1, there are several hairpins mounted on the display card, said hairpins comprising the rounded closed end A and the two legs'BB. It is an important feature of the present invention that the lower portion of each tongue it is wider, due to the laterally projecting ears l5 and it, than the width of the portion A of the hairpin while,
above the lower portion, the tongue it is narrower than the width of the portion A of the hairpin.
By forming the tongue 'iii in the manner described above, a hairpin may be readily slipped on said tongue it by pushing the tongue somewhat -forward out oi the plane of the card and sliding the portion A of the hairpin over the lower portion of the tongue at an angle and then straightening the hairpin to place it in a plane substantially parallel with that of the tongue. This may be readily done without mutilating the tongue and after the legs B--B of the hairpin have been inserted in the slits at the lower edge of the card hereinafter to be described.
The lower series of slits, l3, comprise groups of three slits. Of these three slits in each group, N defines a relatively broad downwardly projecting tongue in which aretwo slits 2i defining a pair of relatively narrow downwardly projecting tongues.
The tongue it is adapted to be bent forward at an angle to the plane of the card andthe hairpin placed in position with the ears l5 and it of the tongue of the card extending over its closed rounded end. Also, the relatively broad tongue defined by the slit 20 is adapted to be bent forward at an angle to the plane of the card while the pair of relatively narrow tongues defined by the slits 29 are adapted to be bent rearwardly at an angle to the plane of the broad tongue in this assists in keeping the hairpin securely in position.
the hairpins substantially parallel with one another. Obviously, the card need not be rectangular in shape nor is it necessary to have the slits so aligned as to hold the hairpins parallel to each other.
While .it is important that the tongue l4 should have a wide lower portion and be somewhat narrower above the lower portion, the design of the tongue I, as illustrated in the drawing, need not be exactly followed. Also, other arrangements of slits to hold the legs of the hairpinmay be used in combination with the tongue I4.
An important advantage of the present invention is that it provides a display card on which hairpins can be mounted with great ease and speed. A further advantage is that very little of the hairpin is covered by the card and hence the hairpin is displayed more efiecti'vely; also, .the hairpin is held firmly in position and yet may be removed and remounted on the card without mutilating same.
As many apparently widely different embodi-' ments of this invention may be made without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, it is tobe understood that the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments thereof except as defined in the appended claims. I claim: I

A display card for hairpins having a series of slits adjacent the upper edge of the card, each of said slits defining a downwardly projecting tongue the lower portion of which is wider than the width of the rounded closed end of the hairpin to be displayed while the tongue above said lower portion is narrower than the width of the rounded closed end of the hairpin, and a series of slits adjacent the lower edge of the card through which the legs of the hairpins to be displayed are adapted to be passed.
f 2. A display card for hairpins having a series of slits adjacent the upper edge of the card, each of said slits defining a downwardly projecting tongue the lower portion of which is wider than the width ofthe rounded closed end of the hairpin to be displayed while the tongue above said lower portion is narrower than the width of the rounded closed end of the hairpin, and a series of slits adjacent the lower edge of the card through which the legs of the hairpins to ,be displayed are adapted to be passed, the series of slits adja-' cent the upper and lower edges of the card being parallel and being so aligned as to hold a series of hairpins substantially parallel with each other.
3. A display card for hairpins having a series of slits adjacent the upper edge of the card, each of said slits defining a downwardly projecting tongue havinga pair-of laterally extending ears at the lower portion thereof, the width of said tongue at the lower portion thereof being greater than the width of the rounded closed end of the hairpin to be displayed while the width of said tongue above the lower portion thereof is less than the width of the rounded closed end of the hairpin, and a series of slits adjacent the lower edge of the card through which the legs of the hairpins to be displayed are adapted to be passed.
