cARD OL ER.
Application filed September '9, 1925; Serial No.'=55,283.
This invention relates to an improved card holder, and it has more particular reference to device of this kind, which is con structed for holding separate printed cards, indicating amounts of milk and ice desired by the occupants of a house.
It is quite customaryto provide printed cards and to hang the same in a window. in order to enable the iceman to ascertain at a glance, the quantity of ice desired, by the customer.
The most common practice is to print all of the various designations upon a single card, and to rotate the card so that the proper designation Will be displayed.
The present invention is an improvement upon the type of display card mentioned, and it has for an added advantage a means for holding additional cards for the use of a milk delivery man. Thus, a novel combination article is produced, whereby the desired cards may be effectively displayed, for the convenience of the service-men and the occupants of the house. The particular structural details employed in the make up of the improved article will be clear after considering the following description in connection with the drawing.
Inthe accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of an article constructed in accordance with the present invention.
Figure 2 is a rear elevation of the same, and
Figure 3 is a vertical section taken approximately upon the plane of the line 33 looking in the direction of the arrow.
In carrying out the invention, I employ a sheet of metal or the like 1. Substantial square openings-2 and 3 are struck out from the upper portion of the sheet to form sight openings. Formed at the top of the sheet are apertured attaching ears 4, arranged at convenient spaced points. Observing the display face of the sheet, it will be seen that two distinct areas 5 and 6 are forn'ied at the bottom below and in alignment with the openings 2 and 3. These areas are formed by painting a heavy black line upon the sheet of metal, which, by preference is white enameled. In the area 5, the word Ice is printed, while the area 6, contains the word Milk.
The card holding means is preferably in "discretion to the form or individual pockets 7 and e.
Referring to Figures 2 and 3, it will be seen that each pocket is formed'from a separate piece of material, substantially channel shaped in cross section, and is provided with end flanges 9, bolted or otherwise fastened to the rear side of the plate opposite the sight openings. The bottom edges of the pieces of material are turned inwardly, as at 10, these being in a horizontal plane below the bottom wall of the sight openings. From Figure 2, it will be seen that the adjacent flanges of the pockets are disposed in overlapping relation. The cards 11 and 12 are of a size and shape to fit tightly in the pocket. height slightly greater than the depth of the pocket, so that the upper edges willproject above the tops of the pockets to permit them to be grasped by the fingers in inserting'and removing. In practice, there will be a set of cards furnished with each holder, that is, there will be a number of milk cards and p a number of ice cards. These milk cards may have designations, such as One pint,
so that they may beshifted, at the users expose the proper cards By mainthrough the sight openings. taining all of the cards in the pockets, there is little or no liability ofjthe same becoming lost or damaged. The device itself being of metal may be painted and otherwise decorated, to render it exceedingly attractive."
It is such-that it may be temporarily nailed. pinned, or otherwise suspended from the frame of a door, window or the like, to permit the printed instructionsto be clearly observed through the glass.
It is evident from the foregoing description and drawings that I have evolved and produced a new article of manufacture, which will very satisfactorily serve the purpose for which it is intended, and will undoubtedly provide a convenient way of promoting service of desired quantities of commodities. No doubt the description, in connection with the drawing, will suflice to enable a clear understanding of the invention to be had. Therefore, amore lengthy description is unnecessary.
Tprefer that the cards be of a I Minor changes coming Within the field of invention claimed may be resorted to if desired.
I claim:
A device of changeable sign character, comprising a plate having side by side sight openings beloW and in vertical alinement with Which and on the face of the plate are commodity designations, and card holding pockets carried by the plate at the back thereof and located opposite and in communication With said sight openings and closed at their lower ends and open at their upper ends;
Wardly extending apertured ears, and the said pockets having-outer flanges connected to the plate and also having inner lapped flanges connected by common means to the plate.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature. I
VERNON E; KNOPP.
