CARD-HOLDER.

SFEOIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 363,206, dated May 1'7, 1887.

' Application filed J'anuaryfll, F887. Serial No. 325,738. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GARDNER M. BUReEss, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented an Improvement in Card-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to cardholders which are adapted for attachment to flexible fabrics, and to boxes; and it consists in a card-holder formed of wire and made in two parts, which are pivoted to each other, as hereinafter fully set forth.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my im proved card-holder. Fig. 2 is a separate perspective view of the upper portion of the same. Fig. 3 is a separate perspective view of the attaching lower portion of the holder. Fig. 4 is an edge view of the holder attached to the box, the box being shown in detail section. Fig. 5 is a side elevation showing a modification.

In the accompanying drawings, A is the upper portion of the card-holder, which is made of wire formed into a how, a, with two pivotloops, b b, and the arms 00, which extend parallel, or nearly so, to the plane of the bow a, and in close proximity thereto, so as to embrace and hold the card or between the adjacent sides of the how a and the said arms a c, as shown in Fig. 4:. The lower portion, 13, is also made of wire, preferably formed into a rectangularlybent portion, d, with two pivotloops, 6 c, and the two sharpened pins, f f, which serve for attachment to articles of clothing and also to textile or other fabrics, and which, in conjunction with the portion 01, is

also adapted for attachment to the edge of a box, 0, as shown in Fig. 4., the side of the box being embraced between the adjacent sides ot the intermediate portiomd, and the two pinsff.

The parts A and B are loosely pivoted to each other by means of the rivets g g, which are preferably provided with a washer, h, at the riveted end of the same, and by tightening the rivets g 9 any desired degree of friction between the parts may be secured in order to hold the card in firmly at the desired angle with the edge of the box.

Instead of employing two attaching'pins, the wire of the part Bmay be bent, as shown in Fig. 5, and thus formed with but one attaching-pin; but in most cases the holder having two pins will be preferred on account of its greater stability when attached to the fabno.

I claim as my invention- V 1. In a card-holder, the combination of the two parts A and B, made of wire, and formed into the pivot-loops,wit-h the intervening bows and the exterior arms or pins, and pilvotally secured -to each other, substantially as described.

2. In a card-holder, the combination, with the part A, formed of wire, having abowportion, a, two loops, 1) b, and the arms 0 c, of the part 13, having the bent portion d, the loops 0 e, and the arms or z'tttaching-pinsf, substantially as described.
