CARD HOLDER;
Application ledl March 1, 1924. Seria-1 110.696,2'29.
To all whom t magno/noemt.'
' Be it known 4that I, CHARLES T. GronwEY, a citizen of the United States, and resident of South Bend, in the county of St. Joseph and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Card Holders-,of which the followingis a speciiication.
The invention is an improvement in holders for use in holding labels, address cards and the like in place ponga shipping container so th-atthe latter may be sent by mail orin any other suitable maner.
More specifically-the present invention is an improvement over that which is disclosed in my prior application for Letters Patent ofthe United States, Serial #664,568, filed September 24:, 1923, in which I disclose a holdingframe adapted. to be secured to a sui-t case or like ,article in such maner that one ror .more compartments are defined between the holding frame and the suit case or like article, eachrcompartment being adapted for the receptionl of. a card and being `open at one end, the holding frame being provided at the normally open endof each com art-- ment with an inwardly extending fixe' retaining member i'or engaging' with the outer each card receiving compartment a simple,
reliablel and novel means for engaging with the adj acent-end of the. card"v in the compartment to hold. the card. againstaccidental-dis# placement f-rom the compartment, said card retaining means being adapted to b e adjust- 4ed quickly and easily tohold the card -in place in .the comparstment',or to permitthe Y withdrawal of the card? from they compart-` ment, vlas desired.-
A fur-therobject-o the invention isftopro- Yvide in a card holder yof the character' dea compartmentof which va portion of the holder constitutes the front wall but also in j drawings, in ,whichf holds the card Haftwise against the front of the compartment.
Other objects andadvantages willibe ap- Y parent from the followingg;description.,` .confsidere'd 1n conjunctierwith the :accompanyigure l is a perspective View card holder embodying the presentinvent-ibn applied to a shipping container, i l j Figure 2 is a relatively enlarged fragmentary perspective view of the con-tainei?V with the' holder thereon, showing a flexible .card
retaining member at one end of the holder partly withdrawnfrom the card retaining pesi/tion, i i f.

Figure e is 4afragmentary :side elevatinn showing amediied tormaof. a cardholder embodied in the. inventioninapplied pesi?- tion'on the shipping,r contain-en Referring now -to the drawings, the-'nmi eral l designatesa container which-may be of any suitable known type'o construction.-
adapted to be shipped.` through the mails-or otherwise. t i v n A holder embodyingthepresent invention comprises a substantially rectangular strip Q made of any relatively stiff suitable material, suchk as bristol board, leather or 'the 'snowing a like.v The strip -2fis Ysecu-red -tothe container l by rows -oifstitclring- B'which extend along- Y the longitudinal `edges of the strip and by 1 respectivelyv are defined between 'the' stripl 2 andi the a'fdjacent -wall ot the container La:
f With thisgarrangelnpent, two', similar compartments@ or pockets 5I and; 6?.
each of these,compartments.ora pocketsheing ,closed latv itsvs-i'de's andi at its :iv-nner ,end'fandi being open a't-vitsf outer.' end, whereby .a-fcard 7 may be inserted therein fromA the" outer en-d.thereo-f ,The front' wallof eachlofthey compartments or pockets' `5 and isldeined by :an endepo'rtio'n vv of the'stripQ andjisfprovided with a window 8 ot''-relativlfely-1'gareatv lare'a for the purpose Iof' disclosing View -themajor portion of the card` which;v `is? dis' posedwit-hinthe com-partme'nt-.A The*windowA 1 transparent material, Isuch as 'ism-'glassA l n, is desirable that are @are waren-the compartment 5 or '6 shall beheld against accidental displacement from this compartretaining strip 9 will be compressed slightly ment and also that the card shall be held close against the strip 2 so that written matter or other matter on the card will be clearly visible on casual inspection. It alsois desirable that the means for retaining the card in the compartment 5 or 6 shall be adapted to be manipulated quickly and easily to permit the removal of the card from the compartment when desired and the replacement of the card in the compartment. To these ends the present invention contem plates the provision of a card retaining member in the form of a substantially rectangular strip 9 of pliable material, such as fabric.v A retaining strip 9 is provided for each compartment and is of less width and length than the width and length of the compartment.
In the arrangement illustrated in Figures 1, 2 and 3, the strips 9 have end portions secured against the inner faces of opposite end portions of thestrip 2 by rows of stitching l0 which extend transversely of the front walls of the compartments and of the retaining strip 9 adjacent to the open ends of the compartments. Each strip 9 may be extended so that the major portion thereof protrudes from one of the compartments 5 or 6 as shown -atthe right hand side of Figure 3 to permit the insertion of a card in the compartment Vor the free-end portion ofthe strip 9'may be folded inwardly over the outer end of the card in the compartlment with which the strip9 is associated until the inwardly folded portion of the retaining strip 9 is disposed flatwise between the inner face of the card in the compartment andthe container l and thus serves not only to hold the card against displacement from the compartment but holds the card close to the portion of the strip 2 that constitutes the front wall of the compartment. Preferably, each ofthe cards 7 is cut away at` its outer end, as at l1, the cut away portion ll being slightly less in width than the pliable retaining strip 9 and being positioned infcentered relation in respect to the side edges o-f the card so that the pliable inl a direction transverse-of its length when the pliable strip is folded inwardlyr across thecbottom wall of the'- cut away portion y l1 `at the outer end of the card'. The e-nh Laissez in the compartment defines portions of the card at opposite sides of the cut away portion, as at l2, extending outwardly in the compartment beyond the pliable member 9 and thus being adaptedto be grasped conve-nie-ntly when itis desired to withdraw the card from the compartment. The card retaining strips 9 will be completely hidden from view whenin card retaining position.
With the arrangement illustrated in Figure t, an end portion of the pliable strip 9 is secured to an end portion of the holding strip 2 and against the outer -face of the latter by a row of stitching 13 which eX- tends transversely of the pliable strip 9. lThe pliable strip 9 thus is adapted to have the free end portion thereof folded inwardly across the adjacent end of the holding strip 2 into the compartment with which the pliable strip 9 is associated, the inwardly turned or folded portion of the pliable strip 9 being disposed between the inner face of a card 11i in the compartment and the container l.
VFrom the foregoing description of the various parts of the device, the operation thereof may be readily understood. One of the cards held in place by the holder in the manne-r described may serve as an address card while the other card may have stamps placed thereon so that the container may be sent through the mail. These stamps may be replaced after each shipment by new cards or the same cards may be used several times and replaced by new cards when required. lt will be obvious that a holder embodying the invention may hold only one card against the container if desired and that this card may have stamps placed thereon and also may serve as an address card.
Obviously, my invention is susceptible of embodiment in formsg other than those illustrated in the accompanying drawings and I therefore' consider as my own all such modifications and adaptations of the forms of the device herein described as fairly fall within the scope of the appended claims.
