UNITED STATES PATENT ()FFICE.
FRANK J. MCARDLE AND JOHN B. FURAY, OF OMAHA, NEBRASKA.
CARD-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 513,714, dated January 30, 1894.
Application filed October 22, 1892. Serial No. 449,562- (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, FRANK J. MOARDLE and JOHN B. FURAY, of Omaha, in the county of Douglas and State of Nebraska, have inv nted certain newand useful Improvements in Card-Holders; and we do hereby declare th following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable oth rs skilled in the art to which it appertain to make and use the same.
Our invention is an improvement in cardholders designed for its simplicity, durabliity and efficiency of construction and adapted to hold advertising and display labels or cards, in such a manner that they may be readily detached and others substituted in their place. A further object of our invention is to so construct the holders that they may be readily and easily united in a parallel series thereby being adapted to hold larger cards and at the same time making a flexible surface that may easily be made to conform to the curvature of the surface on which it is desired to secure the holder. 1
A further object of our invention is to supply novel means for preventing the cards from twisting or warping from the holder, under the influence of moisture.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear in the following description and novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in the claim.
There are various forms which this device may take on and still be within the spirit of our invention, and we do not desire to confine ourselves to the exact construction and location of parts herein shown and described.
In the accompanying drawings in which similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts, Figure 1 is a front view of the card-holder showing -two cards inserted. Fig. 2 is a front view of a series of two of the holders united, and in which are placed two small cards and one large one. Fig.3 is a sectional View through the line 00-00 Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a sectional view through the line y--y Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a side view of the spring strip G.
A is the main portion of the holder which is made of sheet metal or other suitable ma terial and which is bent or pressed in such a manner as to form one or more corrugations B. The longer edges of A are bent upward and backward to form the grooves O D, which are intended to receive the edges of the cards E F, the shorter edges of which are shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1. Directly over the shorter edges of the cards is situated the metal strip G, which is bent in the form shown in Fig. 5, the ends of which are placed in the grooves O D, so that the convex surface of the strip will be toward the card, thereby exerting a constant pressure on the card thus preventing the card from warping outward and away from the surface A. A further object of the strips G is to obscure the line of meeting of the cards E F and at the same time furnish an ornamental and prominent line of division between the several advertisements.
In Fig. 2, we have represented two of the holders, as shown in Fig. 1, united by the strips, shown in Fig. 2, by means of dotted lines II which are preferably of flexible material and which are secured to back of the surfaces A by means of rivets or other suit able means.
In the holder as shown in Fig. 2 we have placed two small advertising cards 15 and one larger one I, the latter extending over and obscuring the line of juncture of the two holders.
In order to place the card in theholder, the former is made to assume a curve, thereby causing the distance between its edges to diminish, when its edges are placed against the grooves C D with the concave surface of the card toward the surface A, when it is allowed to assume its natural position and it will be readily seen that its edges will pass into the grooves C D. The strips G are then placed in the position described above.
We do not desire to confine ourselves to any particular form of the holder as it may be made either flat or curved to conform to any surface, neither do we confine ourselves to any particular number of the holders being united in a parallel series as it may be desired to use them singly.
The construction and arrangement of the several parts of our holder being thus made known, the operation and advantages of the same will, it is thought be readily understood.
We have described the best form of construction now used by us, but it will be understood that we intend to cover mechanical equivalents when such are substituted.
Having thus fully described ourinvention, What we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In a card holder, the combination of the main portion of the holder, which is constructed of sheet metal and formed with one or more corrugations B, the longer edges of the said main portion of the holder being bent upward and backward to form grooves O, D, to receive the edges of the cards, spring metal strips G, situated over the shorter edges of the cards, which are of concavo-convex form,
and have their convex bearing against the a 5 said card and their ends sprung, into the grooves G, D, and means for securing said portions of the holders flexibly together in parallel series, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof We have signed this 20 specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
