MORRIS FRANK, OF JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA.

TIE-PIN-DISPLAY DEVICE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 14, 1919.

Application led July 20, 1918. Serial No. 245,844.

To all whom it may concern."

Be it known thatI, MORRIS FRANK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jacksonville, in the county of Duval and State of Florida, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tie-Pin-Display Devices, of which) the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to a tie pin display device, or'a device for eiciently displaying stick pins or tie pins in a store.

The object of the invention is the construction of a simple display device that comprises a paper or card board frame which i will hold in a peculiar way a cloth representing a neck tie, and to which cloth the stick pin to be displayed is attached.

`With this and other objects in view the invention comprises certain novel construc-v tions and combinations as shall be fully illustrated in the accompanying drawing, specifically described in the following speciiication, and morefparticularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the|drawings:

Figure 1 is a view in elevation of a device constructed in accordance with the present invention.

Fig. 2 is a rear view of the front portion of the device, showing the rear cover or flap torn away.

Fig. 3 is a sectional views'` taken on the line 3 3, Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a view in elevation of anotherA embodiment of my invention.

Fig. 5 is a view of the back of the front ofthe device, vshowing the rear cover or fiap torn away, this view being similar to the view of the embodiment shown in Fig. 2.

Fig. 6 is a sectional view taken on the line 6 6, Fig. 4. A f

Referring to the drawings by numerals, 1'\ designates the front of the device which is preferably made of cardboard, and this front portion is provided with a substan.

tially diamond-shaped opening 2 that terminates at its upper end in points or insides diverge for permitting the cloth 4 to resemble the shape-of the bow ofa tie. The opening 2 is formed by cutting away the front portion 1, producing a backing tongue 2a, Fig. 2, that is also placed behind the cloth 4, and when 'the tonguev .2a is pressed forward into the opening 2 the cloth 4 will be forced into the opening to make it ,stand outp, to a certain extent, for better display purposes, the cloth being kept from slipping out of place or creeping by the points or projecting portions 3 3.

The representation of an ordinary collar is printed, or otherwise disclosed, at 7 upon the front of the front portion 1, 'making the display device more realistic.

The rear covering or flap 5 may or may not be glued or pasted over the face of the front portion 1, tongue 2a and the cloth or fabric 4; the forcing of the tongue 2a into the display opening 2 of the cardboard front portion 1 will sufficiently retain the cloth 4 in position, especially by reason of the peculiar structure of the opening 2, as herein before described, and the corresponding registering structure of the tongue 2a.

The stickpin 8 is then fastened to the cloth in any desired position, as best suits the `operator or salesman in the store, and

after the stick' pin has .been placed upon the cloth 4, a very attractive display device may be exhibited in the window or in the show cases for the stick pin.

In the embodiment shown in Figs. 4 to 6, the structure is very similar to that disclosed in the embodiment shown in Figs.A 1 to 3, for in the embodiment shown in Figs. 4 to 6, I use the front cardboard portion 1 with a diamond-like opening 2 formed therein; I also use a cloth'or piece of fabric 4 to show through the opening 2, and I use a rear Han or covering 5 to fold over the rear face of the front portion 1 and cloth 4. However in this embodiment Ido not entirely cut away the portion 3a at the place where the points 3 3 are formed in-the firstdescribed embodiment, as I leave this strip 3a to support a very small pin 8 that acts as a hook or fastener for forming an additional holding means for the fabric or cloth 4,

whereby said fabric is assisted in being se-` opening 2, to a certain eXtent, and also affords an additional surface to which to attach the stick pin 10. Upon referring to Fig. 6, it will be seen more clearly how the parts of this embodiment are assembled, the small pin 8 acting as an eiicient auxiliary securing means for holdin." the portion of the cloth 4, representing the bow, in a kprojected position through the opening, making the same represent more clearly the ordinary full sized string neckti't.

From the foregoing description it will be understood that I have produced a display device for stick pins comprising a preferably stili cardboard front, with peculiar opening and auxiliary means for displaying a piece of cloth representing a tie, through the open. ing, and I reserve the right to make such minor alterations or modifications as shall fairly fall within the scope ofthe appendedclaims.

What I claim is:

1. A tie pin display device, comprising a stiff rectangular front portion provided With a single display opening, a single tongue -integral With said front portion and of the same shape as said display opening for holding a piece of cloth representing a necktie in said entire opening, and a rear rectangular flap connected to the front portion and adapted to be pasted against the rear face of ithe front portion.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a tie pin display device, comprising a rectangular cardboard front portion, said front portion having a single diamond-like opening terminating at its'upper end in two inwardlyprojecting points and then diverging toward the extreme upper or inner end from said points, a single tongue hinged to the front portion and conforming to the shape of the entire opening therein, and a rectangular Hap'secured to said front portion and being adapted to fold over the rear face of the .rectangular front portion and the rear face of the tongue.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature.

MORRIS FRANK.
