Description
Oct. 13, 1942. A. LIERMANN v FLAG HOLDER Filed Feb. 23, 1942 INVENTOR: z'ermann BY W ATTORNEYS.
Patented Oct. 13, 1942 1 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE FLAG HOLDER Adolf Liermann, Philadelphia, Pa. 7 Application February 23, 1942, Serial No. 431,981
4 Claims.
This invention relates to flag holders and has reference more particularly to flag holders of the type intended for the display of flags at windows.
My invention has for its main object the provision of a holder which will support a pair of flags at an inclination to each other, and which will at the same time define the letter V-which has recently been adopted as the symbol for victory.
A further aim of my invention is to attain the foregoing clesirderatum in a flag holder which lends itself to production expeditiously from relatively thin sheet material such as stiff stout cardboard with incorporation of novel structural features whereby the holder is stiffened against flexure for capacity to respectively support the flags and resist easy bending, and whereby it may be attached to or held by the lower rail 01' bar of a window sash or be otherwise supported.
Other objects and attendant advantages will appear from the following detailed description of the attached drawing, wherein Fig, 1 is a fragmentary view in elevation of the out-door side of a window with my improved flag holder.
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary sectional view drawn to a larger scale and taken as indicated by the angled arrows 11-11 in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a rear perspective view of the flag holder; and
Fig. 4 shows the stamping or blank from which the holder is formed.
From these illustrations it will be seen that my improved flag holder is fashioned from sheet material which may be of metal, stiff stout paper or light cardboard with an upper portion I having the configuration of the letter V and a central lower supporting portion II which is pendent from or connected at the vertex of the V which may be secured by means of thumb tacks, for example, to the lower rail R of a window sash S, or which may be held in place by engaging its lower edge between the lower rail of the sash and the face F of the shoulder of the window sill, as shown in Fig. 2. From Fig. 3 it will be noted that the holder is provided with flanges I2 along the outer sides of the bars I3 of the V and also with flanges I4 along the inner edges of these bars. The upper portions of the flanges I2 are detached from the bars I3 and bent laterally as shown at I5 in Fig. 3, and notched adjacent their ends as at I6 to engage over the inner flanges I4. The bent over portions I5 of the outer flanges I2 are moreover provided with holes ll. The holder is formed along the tops of its bars I3 with laterally bentflanges I8 which have holes I9 aligned with the holes H in the direction of the bars I3 of the V for receiving the stems or rods 29 of the flags 2I, the flags being thereby supported at an inclination to each other. Due to the flanged construction just described, the bars I3 of the v I0 are effectively reinforced against easy bending, the resistivity to distortion or bending being further enhanced through engagement of the flag rods with the crosswise portions I5 of the outside flanges and the top flanges I8 of the bars. The flag holder is formed in practice from a blank configured as shown in Fig. 4 by cutting or die stamping and by bending the flanges I2, I4 and I8 up all in the same direction at right angles to the main portion of the blank and by subsequently bending back the free portions I5 of the side flanges I2 and locking them with the inner flanges I4 of the bars as shown in Fig. 3.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. A flag holder formed from relatively thin stiff sheet material with an upper portion having the configuration of the letter V; a lower supporting portion at the vertex of the V; and projections at the rear along the length of the bars of the V and apertured to receive the stems of a pair of flags.
2. A flag holder according to claim 1, in which the bars of the v are stiffened by lateral flanges along their opposite side edges.
3. A flag holder according to claim 1, in which the bars of the V are stiffened by later-a1 flanges along their opposite side edges; and in which the rearward projections are constituted respectively by inwardly turned portions of the outer stiifening flanges of the side bars and flanges along the top edges of said side bars.
4. A flag holder according to claim 1, in which the bars of the V are stiffened by lateral flanges along their opposite side edges; in which the rearward projections are constituted respectively by inwardly turned portions of the outer stifiening flanges of the side bars and flanges along the top edges of said side bars; and in which the laterally bent portions of the outer side flanges are notched to lock over the flanges along the inside edges of the V bars.
