TO ALL WHOM -T`MAY` OONCERN: .V

Be it known Athat I, A. H. FATZNGER, of Washington, in theconntyof Warren, and State of New-Jersey, have invented a n'ew and improved 'Bill-Poster; and I do hereby declare 'that the following -is-a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which wil-l enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference' being had'to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification@ This invention relates to a new and improved device forsecuring bills .in position, or holding'- them 'against a wall or other fixture. ,Y n

The inventio'nconsists of a series 'oi'.clips, of peculiar construction', attached to a cleat, .which is nailed or screwed tothe wall or other fixture, so that the upper endV of-the bill may be readily inserted in the clips, and

retained or held thereby".

In the accompanying sheet of drawings* Figure 1 is a front viewof my invention.

Figure 2 is a sideiew ofthe same.

Similar letters of` reference indicate corresponding parts.

- A represents a strip, cleat, or b ar, which may be'construeted of wood that, at least, would be the prefer-l able material. Y

This strip, cleat, or bar may be of any suitable length. n

B represents a series' of clips, which are of curvedfform,-asshown in iig. 2, constructedof metal, and elastic, so asl-to form springs, thevelasticity of the clips having a tendency to'keep their Iowerpartsin'contaet with the strip or cleat A.

The lower parts off-theA clips, which are lin contact with the strip or cleat .Ai are perforated with a hole,`

through which spurs, a, in thestrip or cleatrpass.

. From 'the above description, it will be seenV that, by slipping the top of abillv behind the-lower parts ofthe clips, thespurs a-will pass through it. Y i f These spurs, in connection with lthe pressure ofthe clips, tv'ill securely holdthe hillin'positiom n t The strip, cleat, or bar, A, is nailed, screwed, or otherwise secured to the wall or otheriixtura and several bills may be ysecured or held by them, one being overthe other, it not being necessary totear downone bill before posting another one, v n y I claim as ew,-and desire to secure by.
