BILL-BOARD.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 425,621, dated April 15, 1890.
Application filed January Z1, 1890- Serial No. 337,648. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOSEPH MCKEAGE, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented and made certain new and useful Improvements in Bill-Boards for Exhibiting Notices, Advertisements, and Such Like Matters; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description and specification of the same, reference being had to the drawings forming part thereof.
In order that persons skilled in the art may understand, construct, and use myinvention, I will proceed to describe it, referring to the drawings, in which Figure l is a front view of my bill-board with a card placed in to advertise a house or other premises to let. Fig. 2 is a front view of the same with the advertising-card removed. Fig. 3 is a vertical central section of Fig. 2.
A is the back piece of the board or frame.
B are holes through the back piece for tacking the board to a support.
0 is a loop to hang the board up by.
D arethe folded side flanges.
E is the folded bottom flange, perforated at G.
H are the bottom corners where the side and bottom folded flanges approach each other, leaving an open space between them.
F is the top piece or cap, made separate from the board itself and adapted to slide endwise on and 01f the upper edge of the body of the board. The top edge of the board is folded backward and the sliding cap F folds down and then back, making a double fold, so that it may slide under and engage the fold of the upper edge of the back A, and thus slide endwise on or off the top of the board. Theloop O is secured to the back A, as shown at Fig. 3. The sliding cap F and its sliding engagement with the back A are also shown at Fig. 3. The sliding cap F is removed to enter a card under the folded flangesD E of the billboard, and then replaced. I lap over the top, as shown, to protect the card from rain from above. The corners H and the perforations G in the bottom retainingflange E are for the purpose of allowing water that may get behind the flanges to run out. The holes B are for the purpose of tacking the board in place when it is not convenient to hang it up by the loop 0.
Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A metallic frame for exhibiting advertising cards, provided with bottom and side folded retaining-flanges, perforations at the bottom for the discharge of moisture, and a removable top flange or cap, substantially as specified.
2. In a metallic bill-board, the combination, with the body of the board, of permanent folded retaining-flanges and a removable top protecting-flange, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
