HOLDER FOR CARDS, TAGS, AND THE LIKE.
APPLICATION FILED MAY 26, 1904.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WARREN EUGENE ELLIS, OF HAVERHILL, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO ELLIS LAGER COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF MAINE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 8, 1905.
Application filed May 26, 1904- Serial No. 209,965.
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, WARREN EUGENE EL- us, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Haverhill, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Holders for Cards, Tags, and the Like, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is intended to provide a simple, compact, and inexpensive device which may be readily attached to or detached from a box, bench, or similar. article or support and will detachably receive and expose to view a card, tag, or label containing any desired data.
My device is intended more particularly for use in shoe-factories in which the various racks, boxes, and the like which contain shoes or parts of shoes have to be suitably identified and distinguished.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a plan view of my device in its preferred form, and Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof.
My holder is preferably made of a piece of heavy wire, which is bent to provide side portions 2, connected at their corresponding ends by a bend 3, and a central portion 4,10- cated between the side portions 2 and connected with one of them by a bend 5. Said central portion 4 crosses the bend 3 beneath the same and in contact therewith or in close proximity thereto and extends a short distace beyond said bend, the portions 2 and 4 being substantiallyparallel. The device also has free end portions 6 adjoining the central portion 4 and one of the side portions 2, respectively, said end portions being turned downward into substantial parallelism and having their lower ends sharpened. As thus constructed the device is attached to a box, rack, or other wooden article by driving the free-end portions 6 into the same, the bends at the upper ends of these end portions pro viding shoulders to receive a blow from a hammer or the like. The card, tag, or the like (indicated in dotted lines at 7 in Fig. 1) may then be. applied to the holder by slipping it edgewise between the bend 3 and the adjacent portion of the central member 4, Where it will be held by the spring-pressure exerted by the parts 3 and 4. That portion of the member 4 which projects beyond the bend 3 serves as a guide to facilitate the insertion of the card, and the bend 5 forms a stop adapted to limit such insertion. The holder may be readily pried off from the article to which it is attached when desired.
It willbe noted that the member 4 crosses the bend 3 beneath the latter, but lies in the same plane with the portions 2 for the greater portion of its length, the result being that when a card or the like is inserted into my holder its ends are bent downward somewhat by the overlying portions 2, so that when my device is secured to a box or the like both it and the card which it contains lie flat against the surface thereof and are not exposed to liability to accidental detachment.
I claim as my invention- 1. A holder for cards, tags and the like, made from a single piece of wire having sharpened extremities and bent to form opposed clamping members, the end portions of said wire being bent to extend substantially at right angles to said clamping members and parallel with each other, providing drivingshoulders for said extremities, substantially as described.
2. A holder for cards, tags and the like comprising side portions 2 connected by a bend 3, a central portion 4 crossing and extending beyond the bend 3, in close proximity thereto, and downwardly-turned end portions, substantially as described.
3. A holder for cards, tags and the like comprising side portions 2 connected by a bend 3, a central portion 4 connected with one of the side portions by a bend 5 and extending across and beyond the bend 3 beneath the same and in close proximity thereto at the point of crossing, and downwardly-turned, substantially parallel end portions 6 having sharpened extremities, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name this 7th day of May, 1904.
WARREN EUGENE ELLIS.
