CASE FOR HOLDING PLAYlNG=CARDS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 389,093, dated September 4, 1888.
Application filed April 24,1888. Serial No. 271,707.
Yb 60M whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE W. Mrn'rznn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city and county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cases for Holding Cards and other Like Articles, more particularly Playing-Cards. of which the following is a specification.
The objectof the invention is to furnish an ornamental, convenient, and inexpensive case for holding and carrying cards and similar articles, and to provide for the easy and quick removal or insertion of the cards when desired without any danger of injury to the cards, and in which the cards are partially retained in the case by the pressure of the covers when closed, theinner face of the covers being preferably lined or provided with asuitable soft or yielding facing.
The novelty resides in the peculiarities of construction and in the new combinations, construction, and arrangement and adaptation ofparts, all as more fully hereinafter described, shown in the drawings, and then particularly defined by the appended claims.
The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this specification, and in which-- Figure 1 is a plan of my card case when opened and the cards removed. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same with the cards shown in dotted lines and broken off. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the case when closed with the cards therein, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the case when closed and filled with cards.
Referring to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates one of the covers, and A the other, the two being connected by the back B, in any well-known manner, these parts being similar to the covers and back of an ordinary book or album, and have the same general appearance. They may be made of any desired material,and as ornamental as the taste of the manufacturer may dictate.
Upon the back of the case, and secured thereto in any well-known way, preferably by means of rivets or screws a, is a spring, 0, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. This clasp or spring No mo 01.)
is made of suitable resilient material, and the arms thereof are turned slightly outward at their free ends, as seen in Fig. 2, leaving a rounded contacting surface for the cards as they are placed between said arms, so as not to injure the said cards.
The edges of the covers are preferably bound with strips 1) of metal, as shown in the drawings, both for strength and appearance, and are preferably furnished with a clasp, c, and a catch, (1, by means of which they may be secured when closed; butit will of course beuuderstood that other means of fastening the covers in their closed position may be employed without departing from the spirit of my invention.
The inner faces of the covers are preferably lined or faced with some soft yielding material, as shown at 0, so that when the case is closed this material may inclose the cards, and, together with the spring 0, prevent them from falling from their place, and, being yielding, the said facing gives to the pressure of the ends of the arms of the spring and permits of the case closing tighter than would be the case were the covers made of an unyielding material and without injury to the inside of the covers.
Vhen the cards are-in place and the covers a small book or album, which may be carried in the pocket without danger of the cards falling from place or becoming soiled or torn, and which, when placed upon a table, presents a very handsome appearance.
The outwardlyturned ends of the arms are an important feature, for it provides for the insertion of the cards between the said arms from the top without any danger of scratching much easier and quicker than they could be if they had to he pushed or slid in from the end lengthwise of the back B.
I deem it important that the arms of the their junction with the back of the spring to the rounded portion near their ends, for by this construction I provide a long hearing on the cards without injury thereto, there being no hearing at the ends, and, the said ends beclosed, the whole presents the appearance of 80 the said cards, and they can also be inserted 0 spring extend parallel with each other from 5 said rounded portion, as shown, and for the purpose specified.
2. The case described, consisting of the back and the covers flexibly connected thereto, the spring secured to the inner face of said back, and a yielding facing secured to said covers on the inner side thereof, substantially as and 20 for the purpose specified.
GEO. W. MINTZER.
