CARD FOR BUTTONS OR STUDS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 399,824, dated March 19, y1889.

Application filed December 2l, 1888.

To all whom it may concern,.-

Beit known that I, CHARLES G. BLOOMER, of Pawtuxet, in the counties of Kent and Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful .I ewelers Card for Buttons or Studs; and I do hereby declare that the following specification, taken in connection with the drawings making a part of the same, is a full and exact description thereof.

Figure I is a front view of the card. Fig. 2 isa side view. Fig. 3 is a rear view, with support removed. Fig'. 4 is a vertical section through cent-er. Fig. 5 is a fragment showingmanner of exposing the button-hole. Fig. 6 is a section through button-hole, showing manner of inserting the button.

My invention relates more particularly to V cards for displaying buttons or studs; and it consists in the construction and arrangement of devices hereinafter described, whereby one or more of the buttons or studs may be removed from the card without changing or disturbing the uniform position of the remainder.

In the drawings, A is a piece of card-board of any desired shape, having' at the back a prop or support, B, which will enable it to be laced u on a showcase or counter in the D same manner as an easel.

To the back of the card A a circular card or disk, C, is pivoted so as to leave a narrow space between the two. In the card A, in the form of a circle, and just within the diameter of the disk C, is a series of holes, D, for the reception of the buttons or studs E. The disk C is provided with a slot, F, somewhat in the form of a circle, open upon one side, and being of sufficient size to permit the passage of the button or stud when brought directly over it. The button-hole is omitted at the bottom of the circle over which space the slot F comes upon the final adjustment of the parts.

Serial No. 294,267. (No specimens.)

The buttons may be inserted in the buttonholes in the card A in the first instance, and the disk C afterward secured and adjusted thereto, thus holding them in a uniform position. Commencing with the buttons in and the parts of the device in the position shown in Fig. 3, when it is desired to remove a button the disk C is made to rotate until the slot F covers the iirst button, when the shoe being tipped it can be easily withdrawn from the button-hole and from the card. By changing the position of the disk C the slot F may be successively brought into the proper position and the buttons removed one by one in the same manner.

If it is desired after removing the button to return it to the card again the slot F is brought in a horizontal line with the buttonhole and the button inserted, as will be readily understood, and secured by the rotation of the disk C, bringing the slot F back to its original position, as shown in Fig. 3.

The face of the card A maybe ornamented with any design that may suit the taste of the manufacturer. i

Vhat I claim as my invention7 and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- A card for holding buttons or studs in a uniform position, consisting of a back, A, having' a series of button-holes, in combination with a rotary movable disk, C, pivoted thereto and having a slot, F, in the circumference thereof movable into position corresponding to each of the button-holes, the whole constructed and operating in the manner substantially as described.

CHARLES G. BLOOMER.
