Application filed May 31, 1928. Serial No.:281,972.
V The obj cct of my invention is to provide an easel which is adapted when in use to assume a position inclined to the vertical and the angle or inclination of which may be varied within wide limits. A further object of the inventionis to adapt such easel to theholding of articles of widely difierent shapes, such as angular or circular flat cards, pins, flags, flowers, etc. A further object of the invention is to provide an easel of pleasing contour,
which contour, however, is not fully displayed until the supporting tab of the easel is bent into supporting position.
In the drawings, which show a preferred embodiment of the inventionv Fig. 1 is a plan of the blank cut and scored as required to form an easel. 1
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the easel, shown'as it standing on the plane of the paper.
Fig. 3 is a front view of the standing easel of Fig. 2, with an article mounted on it.
Fig. 4 is a side view of the showing of Fig. 3.
The blank from which the easel is formed 5 comprises an approximately rectangular body a having a segmental or arch-shaped top I). The body 0, is provided with a slit 0 extending obliquely upward from the bottom edge near one end and thence extending parallel to the bottom edge, the ends of the horizontal part of the slit being equidistant from the respectively adjacent upright edges of the body. The body is scored or otherwise indented along a line (Z extending from the portion of slit 0. Thereby a tab e is formed to support the easel. I
In the top I) is 'formed a slit f extending parallel to the convexly curved upper edge of said top.
If the tab 6 is bent back so as to extend at a v relatively small angle to the easel body, it will support the easel in a position slightly inclined to the vertical. The further the tab 6 is bent back, the greater the inclination to the vertical that the easel will assume.
bottom edge near the other end upward ob-i liquely to the closed end of the horizontal When the tab (2 is .bentback, the easel will present a greatly improved appearance, since it will comprise a body resting on end legs, with the central part ofthe body spaced from the support on which the easel rests.
Aslit of the shape shown at fis adapted to receive and support various articles, such as fiat articles of any shape, of which card g is shown'as an example, or flower stems, pins carrying flags, place cards, etc. The easel itself is adapted to function as a place card if desired. v
Having now fully described my invention,
what I claim and desire to protect by Letters I Patent is: p
1. An easel comprising a body provided with a slit extending obliquely upward from the bottom edge nearone end and thence par allel to the bottom edge toward the other end obliquely upward from the bottom edge near the lastnamed end tothe closed endot said I slit, the topedge of the easel being convexly carved from a point midway between opposite ends oi the easel to points near. said op-' posite ends and. thence extending straight and at right angles to said ends, the easel be ing provided with a curved slitspaced from and extending substantially parallel to said curved top edge and above the level of the straight parts of said top edge. v
Intestimony of which invention, I have hereunto set my hand, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on this 21st day of May, 1928.
