IMPROVEMENT IN SUSPENSION-RINGS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 77,482, dated May 5, 1868; reissue No. 5,067, dated September To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, HARRY S. GRTEEITHs, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Ring for Business-Cards; and I do hereby decla-re the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specilication, in which drawing- Figure 1 represents my improved device of a suspension-ring attached to a card to suspend it Fig. 2 represents the same detached before the-astening-spurs are bent; Fig. 5 represents the same attached to a card with one of the fastening-spurs closed down; and Fig. 4 represents a perspective View when ready for use.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to a new and useful device for attachment to business-cards by which they may be conveniently suspended against a wall for display and preservation. A common method of Vhanging or suspending unframed business-cards or show-cards for display is to tack them against a wall, by Which the cards are injured and the wall defaced, so there is often objection made to placing v them where they can be observed. My invention is designed to obviate this diculty'attending the display and preservation of business-cards and show-cards, and I accomplish this object by a very simple and cheap device, consisting of a ring with spurs, which is stamped out of thin sheet metal, the spurs being inserted and fastened in the edge of a card and the ring hung on a nail or pin against the wall, as shown in Fig. 1.

My suspension-ring consists of a ring, a,

having a bottom piece, b, provided with spurs c c, one or more, which are passed through a card and turned down on the opposite side to secure them to the same. The suspensionrin g,

with its fastening spur or spurs, is produced -i'or the purpose herein described.

2. A suspension-ring provided with fastenin g-proj ections, one or more, made in one piece with said ring, substantially as set forth.

HARRY S. GRIFFITHS.
