DAVID HAAR, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

EXHlBlTlON-BOARD.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 6, 1906.

Application filed February 18,1905. Serial No. 246,301.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID IIAAR, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Exhibition-Boards, of which the following is a s :ecification, reference being had therein to t e accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to improvements in exhibition-boards, and has for its object the construction of a board provided with a series of arallel binding members under tension. 11 boards heretofore used for similar purposes, such as bulletin-boards, it has been the usual custom to nail or paste the pictures, drawin s, notices, and like sub'ects thereto, great y to the disfigurement o the board and waste of time and material. By my invention I am enabled to securely place a number of any suitable subjects upon the board in any desired position without the use of any fastening means other than those comprising the board itself, and any portion of any of the subjects may be concealed, if desired.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of my board unmounted; Fig. 2, a part section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1, showing such a board with a double face; Fig. 3, a similar section showing a single face. Fig. 4 shows a vertical transverse sectional View of my board properly framed; and Fi 5 is a rear view, on a smaller scale, of my lioard with the back removed. a

A is a frame or sup ort upon which the binding members, suc as cord B, are attached, preferably by winding the cord under tension and anchoring same by any suitable means, such as the wedge-strips C. Before fastening the cord to the frame the card or other suitable backing or additional support D is preferably laid upon the frame and the cord is fastened over same.

The incasing frame (shown in Fig. 4) has a glass front H and a back I.

J and J are springs which may be attached to the top and bottom of the incasing frame to keep the board from shifting.

The top and bottom of a subject which it is desired to exhibit is slipped between the cords in such a manner as to expose only the desired amount of the sulfect, the cards forming the face of the board covering the rest of the picture. For covering other parts of the picture or for framing the framing-strips K or other suitable device may also be employed.

I do not confine my invention to the specific details shown and described, as such modifications may be made'as fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

1. The combination of a support having a face on which objects may be supported, a plurality of binding members for retaining the objects on said face, said bindin members being parallel and adjacent mem ers be ing in close contact throughout the extent of said surface.

2. The combination of a support having a face on which objects may be supported, a plurality of binding members for retaining the objects on said face, said bindin members being parallel and. adjacent members being in close contact throughout the extent of said surface, and said binding members anchored to said support.

3. The combination of a support having a face on which objects may be supported, a plurality of bindin members for retaining the objects on the ace of said sup ort, said binding members being parallel and adjacent members being in the extent of said surface, and strips adapted to be supported b said binding members.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

DAVID HAAR.
