ADVERTISING DEVICE.

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, Amnn'r T. Fisonnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Advertising Devices, of which .the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to an advertising device comprising a standard which bears advertising matter,the standard being arranged to support and 'display the article concerning which. the advertising matter; upon the device relates.

Generally speaking the invention comprises the elements and combinations thereof set forth in the accompanying claims.

Reference should be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which Fig re 1 is a perspective view of one form of the evice. Fig. 2 is a erspective view of another form of the divice; and Fig. 3 shows a plan of the blank from which the device of Fig. 2 isformed.

As will be seen by reference to Figs. 1 and 2 the device comprises a hollow pyramidal shaped body which is adapted to rest on the base. As will be apparent,'-the three sides of the body resemble triangles which meet at a common apex.

Upon the faces of the body appears ad ertisin matter, as suggested-Tat 2 in Fig. l, and t rough each of the faces there are openings 3, the bottoms of all of the openings lymg in substantlally v the same horizontal plane. The goods to be displayed are inserted within the body of the advertising devices, and are supportedfiiipon the lower edges of the cut out p0rt-i0ns..as indicated at The the exception that the portions of the sides which are cut are not severed along their lower edges, but are folded in, so as to form a platform upon which the article to be displayed may rest.

The blank from which the device shown in Fig. 2 is made is illustrated in Fig. 3, and comprises the triangular portions 5, (3 and 7.

As shown in. the drawings, the portions 7 and 5 are formed with cooperating tabs and slots, the tabs as shown in the drawing car- Speciflcation of Letters latcnt.

carried the part 7, so that the sides, when once folded into pyramidal shape, are held in this position in the manner suggested. For convenience, the lower portion of parts 5, (3 and T are notched in the central portion, and thus provide feet upon which the device is supported.

The openings in the sides are indicated at 8, 9 and 10, and the portions cut from the openings are not entirely severed, but are left intact at the lower edges thereof, so that they may be folded in the manner suggested in Fig. 2. In order that the folded in portions may not extend beyond the outside of the device, the portions adapted to be folded are cut in the shape shown in Fig. 3.

Then the device is folded as shown in Fig. 2, the article to be displayed is placed within the device and resting upon the lat form formed by the folded in. portions w iieh are cut from the sides of the device.

In practice the blank from which the device is folded is made of a single piece of material. In this way the device maybe shipped in flatcondition and set up by the ultimate user.

Having described my invention, I claim:

hollow pyramidal shaped body provided with spaces for advertising matter thereon, the sides of said bod being rovided with openings, said body lining at apted to support an article within the body portion thereof and to display the same through all the openingsin the sides of the body.
