INDICATING CALENDAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 363,088, dated May 17, 1887,

Application liled October 5, 1886. Serial No. 215,412. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALFRED L. SEWELL, residing at Evauston, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, and a citizen ofthe United States, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Indieating-Oalendars, of which the following is a full description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- 1 Figure 1 is a front or plan view; Fig. 2, a cross-section, and Fig. 8 a modified form of calendar.

The object of this invention is to provide a calendar with an upper section which may be used for advertising purposes, and a lower calendar section with a jointed indicator, which has sufficient friction to remain in the position in which it may be moved to any figure on the calendar; and its nature will be found stated in the claims hereinafter made.

In the drawings, a indicates the upper section to which the calendaris attached; I), the calendar; 0, the upper, and olthe lower arm, of the indicator; 6, connecting-clamp; f, eyelets; g 71, eyelet-pivots; t, backing-sheet, and j line of perforations.

In constructing these calendars for one year I take for the form shown in Fig. 1 twelve printed sheets, having thereon calendars for the twelve months of the year, and apply to their back a protection-sheet, t, which is ordinarily a thin sheet of paper; but it may be made of heavy paper or card-board, if desired. I then place the half-sheet a over the upper section, and at the upper end I connect them together by the thin strip. of metal e, which is compressed upon the sheets at their edges, thus holding them firmly together. At the lower edge of the sheet a, I again connect them together by the eyelets f, which are placed one in each lower corner, and this halfsheet, being placed over the indicating-arm, leaves a sufficient space in which the arm can be operated, and forms a pocket in which it may be concealed, if desired.

The indicating-arm is made of two sections, a d, which are connected together by the pivoteyelet h, which arm is attached to the calcudar by the pivot-eyelet g, passing through the calendar and arm atabout the position shown in Fig. 1. This pivot, however, may be located midway, so that the arm will fold cnti rely under when moved in either direction, if desired.

The sections a I) are usually made together and perforated at or about the line of the lower edge of the sheet a, as indicated at y, Fig. 2, so that each months sheet may be torn off at the expiration of the month and a new one exposed (Fig. 2 shows this form of construction;) but it will be readily understood that the upper section, a, may be formed of a back sheet and a halfsheet, a, and the calendar-sheets have only asufficient length to be attached by the eyelets f, in which case they will not require a line of perforations, and it will also be understood that the form of the calendar may be varied, the modification shown'at Fig. 3 being a quadrant-shaped calendar for three months on each leaf.

It will be evident that the indicator-arm can be made of more than two pieces or sections.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. An indicatingcalendar formed of the sections a I) and half-sheet a, in combination with the pivoted arm 0 and hinged indicator (1, substantially as specified.

2. The combination of the half-sheet a with the sheet t and calendar sheet or sheets b, whereby an upper pocket is formed, substantially as described.
