IMPROVEMENT IN SUPPORTS FOR CALENDARS.
' Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 215,669, dated May 20, 1879; application filed April 2, 1879.
in Supports for Calendars or other similar devices, which improvement is fully set forth in the following speoilication, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, iu which- Figure 1 represents a cross-section of a support embodying our invention. Fig. 2 is a side view thereof.
Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.
The aim of our invention is to produce a structure adapted to support or display a calendar, interest-table, or other device of a similar nature, in which the Vpart carrying the device displayed is rendered reversible or changeable, and at the same time adds to the stability ot' the structure.
It consists in a frame formed of a foot-plate and a standard rising from said foot-plate, both provided with longitudinal guides, and of one or two slides carrying the calendar or other device to be displayed; also, in a frame for displaying calendars or other similar devices, made of a foot-plate of wood, grooves, or furrows formed in the upper surface of this foot plate, a standard rising from this footplate, and oblique braces carrying the calendar or other device to be displayed, so that by the tendency of the foot-plate to spring up ward the braces are. firmly retained in position.
In the drawings, the letterA designates the foot-plate, B a standard rising from said footplate, and C C the slides, of our support. In the foot-plate A and standard B are formed grooves a b, running lengthwise thereof 5 and when two slides are used, as in the example shown, two pairs of grooves are used, the grooves a of the foot-plate being on opposite sides of the standard, and the grooves b of thi standard being arranged in lts opposite s1 es.
One of the slides C C', however, may be omitted, and in that case one pair of the grooves likewise is omitted.
The slides C Cl have beveled edges, whereby they are fitted inthe grooves a b, and flat surfaces to receive portions ofthe calendar or l other device to be exhibited, the latter being lprinted directly upon the surfaces of the slides or upon a piece of paper or other material pasted thereon.
It will be seen that by the arrangement of the slides C C they are rendered reversible or changeable. Thus ,ifportions of a calendar are inscribed on the opposite sides of the slides, each portion can be successively exposed, while, when the slides are adjusted in the grooves a b, they serve to brace the foot-plate A and standard B.
It will be readily seen that, instead of grooves for guiding the slides, ledges may be employed without deviating from our invention.
The foot-plate A and stan dard B may be made of metal or of wood, and the foot-plate may be provided with furrows or grooves c to receive pen-holders, pencils, or other articles of a similar nature.
If the foot-plate is made of wood these furrows impart to it a tendency to spring upward and to lock the braces or slides C C firmly in their positions, while by the application of said furrows our article forms a convenient pen-rack in addition to its use for displaying calendars, interest-tables, or other de vices of a similar nature.
What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A frame for displaying calendars or other similar devices, consisting of a foot-plate and a standard rising from said foot-plate, both provided with longitudinal guides, and of one or two slides carrying the calendar or other device to be displayed, titted in said grooves, all constructed and combined substantially as described, and for the object specilied.
2. A frame for displaying calendars or other similar devices, consisting of a foot-plate of wood, grooves or furrows formed in the upper surface of this foot-plate, a standard rising from said foot-plate, and oblique braces carrying the calendar or other device to be displayed, all constructed and adapted to operate substantially as set forth.
In testimony that we claim the foregoing we have hereunto set our hands and `seals this 26th day of March, A. D. 1879.
