CARD-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 735,802, dated August 11, 1903.
Application filed March 2. 1903.
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, SAMUEL HENRY OWENS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Eveleth, in the county of St. Louis, State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Card-Holders; and I do declare the following to be a. full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to a card -holder adapted to be attached to railway-cars; and it consists in the construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out particularly in the claims.
The object of the invention is to provide simple and efficient means for fastening the tags or cards to railway-cars without the use of tacks or similar fastening means, the arrangement being such as to readily enable the card to be inserted in the holder and easily removed therefrom.
The above object is attained by the structure illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a perspective view of this improved card-holder mounted on a car, the body of the car being broken away. Fig. 2 is a section, as on line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the hinged member of the holder. Fig. 4 is an end View of the base upon which the hinged member is mounted.
Referring to the characters of reference, 1 designates a suitable base adapted to be socured to the car by bolts or any other means. In the rear face of said base is a channel 2, extending horizontallyacross it, andiformed upon the front face of said base is a shoulder 3.
The hingedmember of the holder consists of a transverse bar 4, adaptedto lie in the channel 2 in the rear face of the base and having-right-angle side portions 5, adapted to lie on each side of said base. From the side portions 5 of said bar extend the angular end portions 6, which are secured in the crossbar 7, that extends transversely across the Serial No. 145,634. (No model.)
, face of the base and when in its normal position is adapted to swing under the shoulder 3. From the cross-bar 7 the arms 8 project parallel with the faceof the base. In the outer ends of the arms 8 are secured the inwardly-projecting brads or pins 9. These brads, as will be seen, are of greater diameter near-their outer ends and taper toward their point of attachment to the arms 8. The
arms S-may be secured in the cross-bars 7 by When it is desired to place a card in the holder, the bar7is swung outwardly by grasping the knob 11 at the end thereof and the card 12 is shoved upwardly against the outer face of the base until it strikes the shoulder 3, when the cross-bar is swung downwardly, causing the brads 9 to pass through the card and enter the apertures 13 in the base, whereby the card is firmly held in place.. As an additional means for securing the card a brad 14 is secured to the center of the bars 7, which is adapted to engage the top of the card, as shown in Fig. 2, and to lie in the aperture 15, formed in the base.
It will be noted that the holder-frame carrying the brads is so mounted on the base as to sta'ndjatone side of the centerof gravity through the point of hinging of said frame. By this arrangement there is present a constant tendency of the hinged frame to swing inwardly against the base, thereby maintaining it in a closed position and assuring-"a retention of the card. When the-hinged frame is released after being raised it willas'wing downwardly by force of gravity and by its own weight will hold itself 'closed.
The taper of the brads 9 is such as to cause the torn margin of the card through which they pass to close around the small diameter of the brads after they have been forced through the card and prevent the withdrawal of the card from the brads except by the exercise of considerable force.
The lower edge of the base is recessed, as at 16, to facilitate the insertion and removal of the card when required.
Having thus fully set forth this invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a card-holder, the combination of a base, a frame hinged to the base and weighted to swing downwardly by gravity to confine a card thereon, brads mounted upon said frame adapted to pass through a card, said brads being of greater diameter near their points and tapering toward the support in which they are mounted to prevent the card from slipping therefrom.
2. In a card-holder, the combination of a base having a channel in the rear face thereof, a holder-frame having a transverse bar adapted to lie in said channel and rotate therein to form a hinge, a second bar crossing the face of the base and attached to the hingedbar, arms projecting from said second
