UNITED STATES FRANK MCINTYRE, OF NEW YORK,

DEVICE FOR MOUNTING PENHOLDERS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 722,609, dated March 10, 1903.
Application filed January 2], 1903. Serial No. 139,933- (No model.)
To (tlZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, FRANK MCINTYRE, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city, county, and State of NewYork, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Devices for Mounting Penholders, of which the following is a specification.
The device to which my invention refers is designed to hold a penholder in place for the purpose of exhibition or display, and it is intended more particularly for use in carding penholders, as it is termed-that is to say, in securing the penholder in place on a display-card. It has been the practice heretofore in the trade to attach an assortment of, say, a dozen penholders, whether of like or different styles, upon a' card in order to conveniently exhibit them to the customer. The penholder has been attached removably to the card, and for this purpose there have been used in some instanoesco'rd, whether elastic or inelastic, in other instances wire fasteners,perforated pasteboard holders, and even elastic metallic clips to embrace or partly embrace the body of the penholder. All of these attaching devices are more or less obj ectionable,because they all to a greater or less degree contact with the body of the penholder and are liable, particularly in the case of cord, to leave an impression in the varnish-coat, and thus mar the penholder, besides which it is a matter of some difficulty to remove and replace the penholders except in the case where clips are employed, and these do not always hold the article with sufficient firmness to prevent it from easily falling off. All these objections are removed by my improvement. There is no contact whatever with the body of the penholder. The latter is held firmly in position upon the card, and at the same time it can be most readily removed and replaced.
I will first describe, in connection with the accompanying drawings, the best way now known to me of carrying my improvement into effect and will then point out more particularly in the claims what I believe to be new therein and of my own invention.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a View of a portion of a penholder-card having fasteners thereon embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-section on line 2 2, Fig. 1, showing how the fasteners are secured to the card. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section on line 3 3, Fig. 1, showing how the penholder is fitted to and held by the fastener, the penholder being partially in section. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the fasteners.
A is the card.
B represents the penholders.
0 represents the fasteners.
The fastener O can be made of any suitable material, preferably sheet metal. It is made with a body of suitable construction adapted ,to be secured to the card and a longitudinal tongue 0, projecting from one end of the body and adapted to enter the usual slit in' the penholder designed to receive and hold the pen. For this purpose the tongue 0 is preferably concavo-convex in cross-section, resembling in general shape the end of the pen which is to be inserted in the slit. The body of the fastener in this instance is bowed or bent into U or equivalent form, as at 1, and its legs have laterally-projecting feet or flanges 2, (designed to rest on the face of the card,) these flanges 2 terminating in toes 3, adapted to be inserted from the front of the card through slits in the latter and then turned inwardly and up against the back of the card, as seen in Fig. 2, so as to hold the fastener in position. With the fastener thus constructed it will be noted that the penholder is held securely and by its tip alone, that it is held up away from the face of the card, and that the tongue and penholder can be engaged with and disengaged from one another with just as much ease as though the tongue were an ordinary pen.
The characteristic of the fastener is the tongue 0, shaped and adapted to enter the usual pen-slit in the penholder, and thus to securely hold the latter in place on the card while permitting the ready removal and replacement of the penholder, and this feature I believe to be new with mebeyond its structural embodiment herein.
Having described myimprovement and the best way known to me of carrying the same into efiect, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A device for securing penholders to cards and the like, consisting of a body adapted to be fastened to the card, and a tongue adapted to enter and fit in the pen-slit in the penholder, substantially as and for the purposes he'reinbefore set forth.
2. The sheet-metal fastening device herein described, consisting of the body 1, adapted to be attached to the card, and the tongue 0 projecting lengthwise beyond one end of the body and shaped to enter and fit in the penr0 slit of the penholder, substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 19th day of January, 1903.
