F. L. MATSON. FRAME FOR READING AND NUMBER CARDS.
No. 371,338. Patented Oct. 11,1887.
VUNITED STATES PATENT FANNIE L. MATSON, OF SAN Josn, CALIFORNIA.
FRAME FOR READING AND NUMBER CARDS.
v SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 371,338, dated Ostoioe: 11, 1887.
Application filed June 4,1887. Serial No. 240,333.
To alZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FANNIE L. MATsoN, of San Jose, county of Santa Clara, State of California, have invented an Improvement in Reading, Language, and Number Frames; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
My invention relates to a device, which I call a reading, language, and number frame.
It consists of jointed or hinged standards, with detached bases, having upon one side of the standard a board with grooves or channels for the reception of different cards, upon the opposite side a combined desk and holder, while at the upper end is a revolving board or frame having oblique and straight grooves made in it for holding cards and exposing them in different positions.
Referring to the accompanying drawing for a more complete explanation of my device, the figure is a perspective view of my device.
A A are two posts or standards, which are mortised or fitted into the feet or supports B, so that they may be removed or replaced at any time, being held there by means of hooks C. The upper portion of the standard is also hinged to thelower portion,and thetwoareheld together by hooks, as shown at D. Upon one side of these standards is fixed a board or surface, E, having thegrooved or channeled strips F placed at certain distances apart, so as to receive and hold cards which it may be desired to place in these grooves, either singly or so as to form sentences or combination of words, letters, or figures, or an y primary work.
The lower portion ofthe board E is secured to the lower portion of the standard A by means of hooks G, so that when the frame is to be folded up into a smaller compass this section may be removed, thus allowing the parts to be folded together. Upon the opposite side of the standards from the boards E is fixed a vertical shallow case, H, having a series of compartmentsiin which the different cards may be placed when not in use, and, as this case is adjacent to the channeled or groov ed boards, it is convenient to change the cardsas may be desired. This case is closed up by the hinged lid 1, which is held by the jointedsupporting-links J, so that when opened out it forms a desk for writing or other work. Be-
(No model.)
ing closed up, it forms a cover to close the case H.
Upon the upper part of the apparatus is a board, K, which extends between the two standards A, and is suspended upon central pivot-pins, L, so that it may be turned vertically, horizontally, or reversed, as may be desired. In the face of this board are numerous narrow channels, M, of sufiicient depth and width to receive the edges of the cards which are used. These channels are made either at an oblique angle with the face of the board or are made directly in at right angles with the face, each alternate channel being oblique and the others rectangular. By this construction the board may be turned so as to stand horizontally, and a line of cards may be set up in the rectangular channels, so as to stand at right angles with the face of the board in view of the scholars sitting in front of the stand, and rows of cards which may be behind the first ones will be concealed until these first ones are removed. If, however, it is desired to have the cards exposed in series, the board is turned so as to stand obliquely, and the cards being set in the oblique grooves or channels those behind and above can be seen as well as those in front and below. This enables me to combine the words, letters, orfigures in any suitable or desirable manner.
Upon the sides of the standards A are fixed A guides,within which are the rods N, these rods having hooks O at the top for the purpose of receiving the rings or loops of charts or maps, so that the latter may be suspended therefrom, and by sliding the rods or bars N up or down they will be fitted to any size of chart or map that it may be desired to expose.
The rods are held at the proper point by pins passing through holes in their lower ends and into corresponding holes in the sides of the standards, or by other suitable means.
The whole device forms a convenient arrangement for use in schools and in similar places for obj ectteaching, si ght-readin g, numher-work, 850.
Having thus described my invention, whatI claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A frame consisting of the standard A,
hinged so as to fold, and the supporting-feet B, into which the standards are mortised, in combination with the hooks, whereby the parts are attached together so that they may be easily separated at will, substantially as 5 described.
2. The stand comprising the" centrallyhinged folding standards, and feet to which they are removably' attached, in combination with theyboards extending from one standard a to the other, having the projecting cleats forming grooves or channels for the reception of cards, the lower section being movable and secured by hooks, substantially as described.
3. The hinged folding standards and remov- 5 able feet and the grooved or channeled boards or surfaces, in combination with the rack or desk fixed to the opposite sides of the standards, substantially as described.
4. The folding standards with the removable feet, grooved or channeled face-board upon one side, and the card-holding rack upon the back, the door of which forms adesk when opened, substantially as described.
5. The standards having the pivoted revolv- 5 ing board supported between them, said board having its surface slotted alternately with obliquely-cut and rectangular grooves or channels to receive the edges of the cards and support'them with relation to the angle or posi- 0 tion of the board, substantially as described.
6. The pivoted revolving board having its,
faces channeled with alternate rectangular and obliquely-cut slots for the reception of cards,
so that the latter may be exposed or concealed by the position of the board, in combination with the vertical standards between which the ends of the boards are pivoted, and the cardgrooved or channeled surface upon the oppo- V site side, together with the pivoting revolving board at the top, and the adjustable chart or map supporting rods, substantially as described.
In witucss whereof I hereunto set my hand.
FANNIE L. MATSON.
