PATENT 7 OFFICE- JOHN G. RICHARD, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO THE AMERICAN NEWS COMPANY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A JOINT STOCK ASSOCIATlON OF NEW YORK.
POST-CARD EXHIBITOFL SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 774,495, dated November 8, 1904.,-
Application filed I 111:0 10, 1904.
To all whmn it may concern:
Be it known that I, Jo."\ C. RICHARD, a citizen of the United States, residing in New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements. in Post-Card Exhibitors, ofwhich the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to furnish stationcrs, news-dealers, and others who are selling the well-known picture post-cards with an improved exhibiting-card upon which a considerable number of said post-cards can be stored and simultaneously exhibited, so as to facilitate the sale of the same; and for this purpose the invention consists of, a post-card exhibitor which comprises a foundation-board and a plurality of holders attached to the same, each holder being composed of two sections, one for holding each side of the card, and each of said sections being made of a sheet-metal blank which is bent in rectangular shape and provided with prongs for attaching it at the side and bottom to the foundation-card and with an inclined bottom, as will be fully described hereinafter and finally pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my improved post-card exhibitor. Fig.- 2 is a detail horizontal section of one individual exhibitor on line 2 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section on line 3 3, Fig. 1, Figs. 2 and 3 being drawn on a larger scale; and Figs. i and 5 are top views of a blank for each individual exhibitor, showing'the left and right hand sections of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Referring to the drawings, A indicates a foundation-board of suitable size. This foun- JrttlOl'lbOfiId may be made of pasteboard, wood, or other suitable material of a thickness sufficient for supporting a number of individual post-card exhibitors.
Each exhibitor is composed of two cooperatin g sections and made in such a manner that the two sections will support the sides of a pack of picture post-cards. The sections of Serial Np. 211,957. (No model.)
each individual exhibitor are made of two sheet-metal blanks, a left and a righthand one, of the shape shown in Figs. 4 and 5, which blanks are made with an oblong main piece 6, a shorter offset portion 6', and two prongs b at the outer side of the longer portion 6 and 5. prong b at the lower end of the longer portion 6. \Vhen the blanks are bent up in shape, the two portions 6 b are bent at right angles to each other, while the lower end is bent at a suitable upvv'ard inclination from the foundation-board A, as shown at h, the prongs being driven through the foundation-board and clenched at the opposite side, so as to supv port the section B of each individualeirhibitor at suitable distances from each other, so as to retain a post-card either on its shorter side or on its longer side, according as the picture is placed along the length or the width of the post-card. A backing c, of heavy paper or other suitable material, which is glued or otherwise secured to the back of the'foundation-board, materially strengthens the connection between the prongs and said foundation-board and adds to the neatness'of the exhibitor. By the inclination given to the lower end of each individual post card exhibitor each card is held slightly above the card, in the rear thereof, so that one card after the other can be conveniently removed from the pack in each holder.
The supporting-sections of the post-card exhibitor are preferably made of sheet metal, coated by a layer of aluminium or in any other suitable finish, and are bent into the required form by means of dies, the foundationboard being provided with the required slits for inserting the prongs of the sections at the proper points in placing them in theirproper places. They are intended to be filled with post-cards with the address side facing the foundation-board, so that the picture side is exposed to view, and placed on exhibition on the different sections of the exhibitor.
The post-card exhibitors can be manufactured very cheaply and can be furnished-without charge to customers who order, say,a thousaind cards at one time, the exhibitor forming paper, envclops, fancy cards, and othersuitable articles-as I do not desire to confine myself to the use of the same for p0st-cards.
Havlngthus descrl bed my invention, Iclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A post-card exhibitor, comprisinga foundation-board, and cooperating sections made up from rectangularly-bent sheet metal, each of said sectionsbeing provided with means for attachment to said foundation-board and having a bottom portion upwardly inclined fro said foundation-board. I
2. A post-card exhibitonbomprisinga foundation-board, and sets of cooperating sections formed of rectangularly-bent blanks having prongs engaging said foundation board, each of said sections having an inclined bottom portion.
3. In a post-card exhibitor, a holder composed of two sections, each formed of rectangularly-bent sheet metal and provided with side and bottom fastening-prongs and an inwardly-bent bottom. 7
4. A blank for a post-card-holder' section consisting of a plate having a longer and a shorter rectangular portion, the lower end of the longer portion and the side of the shorter portion being provided with fasteningprongs.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention 1 have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
