3 Claims.
This invention relates to score sheet exhibitors and holders, and more particularly to reversible types having retaining means and stable support surfaces for the articles displayed on each of its two sides.
An object of the invention is to provide an attractive holder for score keeping or tally sheets as used in playing games, and in which a plurality of loose sheets are removably confined in such manner that their faces are accessible to receive memoranda, as for instance notations of the score of the play during its progress.
A further feature is in the provision of a thin, flat, light weight container receptive of score sheets on each side.
Another purpose is to produce a sheet holder capable of long continued service, highly ornamental in appearance, made preferably of molded plastic material, in any desired color, made and suited to receive appropriate advertising matter upon its marginal surf-aces.
These and other analogous objects are accomplished by the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, constituting a component of this disclosure, and in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the invention, indicating its application.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on the center line of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on line 33 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on line 4-4 of Figure 1.
Referring in greater detail to the drawing, a central flat support plate, designated by the numeral 15, is shown as having a thickened bar It on its lower marginal surfaces, this bar shaped to produce a channel ii on each side of the plate, extending its full width to receive the ends of cards at juxtaposed on the plate.
Rails l8, preferably of lesser thickness than the bar H3, extend along both side edges of the plate, equally outward therefrom, forming in effect a re-enforcing frame, and are connected at the top of the plate by a bead or tie Hi, all of the foregoing elements being of integral construction.
A pair of duplicate clamp jaws 20 are arranged in opposed relation at the upper end of the plate and have inreaching flanges 2| pivotally attached to the upper extremities of the rails [8 by nodes 2! engaging indents 22 in the rails and the intersecting flanges of the mating clamp jaw, there to be held in clamping position to the plate by a spring 25 exerting pressure between the handle portions 26 of the clamp jaws by which they are normally spread, while their flat transverse jaws 2T engage the paper sheets disposed on the plate 15 along its upper margin.
As each clamp 26 is independently pivoted to the rails 18 by the nodes 2|, it will be understood that upon pressing the handle 26 of one of the clamps towards the others, the material held by its jaw 27 will become released; this pressure is resiliently transferred by the spring 25; thus the sheets on either side may be removed without releasing the sheets on the other side.
It is further to be noted that upon resting the device upon a smooth surface, the under clamp assumes a fiat position permitting the device to lie level, by reason of the swivel action of its pivots, thus providing a double action swivel clamp.
As each clamp jaw 20 is independently pivoted I to the rails l8 by the nodes 2| and indents 22, it will be understood that upon pressing the handle 25 of one of the jaws toward the other, the material held by its jaw 21 against the plate l5, acting as a fixed jaw, will be released.
Although the improvements have been described with considerable detail andwith respect to certain particular forms of the invention, it is not desired to be limited to such details since many changes and modifications may well be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention in its broadest aspect.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to secure by Letters Patent,is:
1. In a reversible support for paper sheets, comprising a flat plate having lateral border rails connected at one end, a bead connecting said rails at their opposite ends, two clamp jaws individually pivoted to said bead on a common axis to extend over the adjacent portion of said plate on opposite sides thereof, said plate constituting a jaw common to both pivoted jaws, a handle on each jaw extending past their pivotal axis, and an expansion spring carried between said handles.
2. A reversible double faced support for paper sheets comprising a flat rectangular plate, border rails on three edges of said plate, a tie connecting said rails at the fourth edge, two clamp jaws pivotally mounted separately on said tie on a common axis and disposed over said plate, said plate forming a common jaw between said clamp jaws, handles on said clamp jaws extending outwardly beyond said plate, and an expansion spring disposed between said handles.
3. In a reversible support for paper sheets, comprising a flat plate having lateral border rails and an end rail recessed in register with each side of said plate to receive sheets disposed thereon, a tie bead connecting said lateral rails at their opposite ends, said bead having recesses in its outer end portions, a pair of opposed clamp jaws independently pivoted to said bead within the mentioned recesses, said. jaws extending over the proximate surfaces of said plate, said plate constituting a fixed jaw intermediate said clamp jaws, a handle extending outwardly beyond the pivotal axis of each jaw, and means carried by said handles to press said jaws normally against said plate.
