1 Claim.
l This invention relates to holders for cards for displaying prices, advertising matter and the like.
'I Objects of the invention are to provide a holder or standard for price cards, advertising cards and the like which, while being of the utmost economy as to material and cost of manufacture, will provide a standard which shall be of great stability and durability and which shall have incorporated within it a variety of bases on which the standard may be seated in a variety of positions and also means, incorporated within the one holder, for holding and exhibiting a card in a large variety of positions, several positions of the card being proin the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a plan of a blank, cut from asingle piece of material, from which the standard or holder may be formed according to the present invention and showing clips attached to the blank.
Figure 2 is an isometric view on enlarged scale of the holder formed from the blank shown at Fig. 1.
Figure 3 is an elevation of the left side of the standard shown at Fig. 2, a card being shown supported by said standard, in one position in solid lines and in another position in broken lines.
Figure 4 is an elevation of a side of the standard shown at Fig. 2 but turned upside down from the Fig. 2 position, the side here shown being the right side as viewed at Fig. 2, illustrating a card supported by the standard when thus positioned.
one position of the card being shown in full lines and another position thereof being shown in broken lines.
Figure 5 is a side elevation of the standard seated upon one of its sides and supporting a card shown in full lines.
Figure 6 is a view of the standard the same as Fig. 5 but illustrating a card supported in a different position, by the standard in the same position.
Figure '7 is a side elevation of the standard supported on a wall or other substantially vertical surface and, in turn, supporting a card in display position, the wall being indicated in broken lines.
While the standard, which is the embodiment of this invention, may be used to support a card containing any kind of printed matter, pictures, etc., its most common use will be the supporting of price cards and in the following description the card Awill be referred to, for brevity, as a price card, without limiting, to any extent, the
uses to which the standard may be put. The card is indicated by C in all figures. The standard may be formed of any suitable material but ordinary cardboard is suitable and' very cheap, and this description, for convenience and without limitation, will refer to the material as cardboard.
The standard is formed of a piece of cardboard, preferably an elongated strip as illustrated at Fig. 1, having scorings II] made therein for folding the material, the scorings being preferably so positioned as to divide the strip into three sections, namely, the back II and sides l2 and I3, preferably of equal size so that when the blank is folded along the scorings it will form an equilateral triangle as seen at Fig. 2. The free ends of sides I2 and I3 may be secured together by any suitable means, not shown. It will be noted that the scorings I0 are shown in broken lines to indicate that they are on the side of the blank opposite to that seen at Fig. 1. The side of the blank shown at Fig. 1 is that which forms the outside of the standard when folded. The View is thus taken in order to show in full lines the clips attached to the outer side as later described.
Each of the sides II, I2 and I3 has a vertical notch I4 cut in its upper edge, preferably near its center, and a pair `of inwardly diverging notches I5 and I6 cut in its lower edge. In each end of each section a horizontal notch I1 is cut. These notches Il are cut centrally of the height of the section and those in the ends of the sections which adjoin in the completed standard, are aligned so as to form a V-shaped, two-armed notch at each apex of the completed standard, as clearly seen at the lower part of Fig. 2.
.Along one edge of the blank the corners of each section are cut away as at I8 so as to form a notch in each corner of one edge of the completed standard, as clearly seen at Figs. 2 to 6.
The blank is also provided with suspending means. One means, primarily but not exclusively, being adapted for attaching the standard to a Wall or the like, is an orice I9 through which a pin or tack, indicated at 20 in Fig. 7, may be inserted and forced into the Wall or other surface for suspending the standard therefrom. Another means, having a double function, is the clips 2l. These clips may be of any suitable construction and may-be attached to the sections in any suitable manner. A pair of clips is attached to the end of each section and they serve to suspend the standard from the upper edge of any article ha-Ving-athinupper edge such as that indicated by line 22, Fig.- '7, the tack 28 being also shown as an alternative means of attachment to such an article as well as to a Wall. The clips 2l also serve -to .seat the price card when the standard is suspended from a Wall or article, as at Fig. 7, or seated upon Vone of its sides, as shown at Fig. 5.
At Fig.' 3'the standard is illustrated as seated with the vertical notches i4 at the top and a cardis shown seatedin a pair of notches lli. Also a card is indicated in broken lines as seated in a pair of notches lS-I 8,.
AtFig. 4 the standard .is shown seated-'with the diverging notches i5 and IS at the-top and a card is shown in full lines, and'indica/ted in broken lines, seated in rpairs of such notches.
At Fig. 5 the standard is shownuseatedlonone side and the card C fis shownseated in a pair 30 @of clips 21, while .at Fig. 7 the card is shown seated likewise in clips 21 but with the standard 4 suspended from a Wall or article as above described.
At Fig. 6 the standard is illustrated as seated upon one of its sides With the card seated in a double notch I'l.
' While I have illustrated, and herein described, many details of construction, alternative and equivalent structures will occur to those skilled in the art and within the spirit `of the foregoing specification and scope of the appended claim, and I do not Wish my protection limited to the detailsV illustrated and described.
I claim:
A substantially equilateral hollow triangular standard having card-receiving notches in both edges of veach side and `in the apeXes thereof whereby a card may be seated in and displayed from said standard on whichever of its sides or faces said standard may rest.
