Specification of Beissued Letters Patent. Reissued Mar, 5, 1918.

Original 110. 1,179,093, dated April 11, 1916, Serial No. 56,256, filed October 16, 1915. Application for reissue filed November 3, 1917.' SerialNo. 200,199.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK A. HALE, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inStands for Memorandum-Calendars, of which the following is a specification, and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming a part thereof.

The invention relates to calendars, and more particularly to those comprising a pad of separate leaves and a holder there or providin means'for filing the leaves of the ad m two positions and for guiding the eaves while being transferred from one position to the other.

The object of the invention is to rovide a stand or holder for calendars of t e type described, which shall be of simple and inexpensive construction, with provision for the convenient separation and assembling of its parts for the removal and replacement of the calendar pad.

2;. In the accompanying drawings,

. Figure 1 is a perspective view, partly broken away, showing a stand for memo randum calendarsembodying the features of improvement provided by the invention- Fig. 2 shows one of the .filing arches o the stand separated from other arts;

Fig. 4 1s a pers ective view showing a form of locking p ate which may be emloyed for securing the filing arches to the Ease of the stand.

plate 11 of suflicient size to provide two seats for the leaves of the calendar pad, not

shown is employed. The filing arches, as 12 and 13, are of spring metal, as wire, and of U-shape. .In the particular form of construction illustrated in the drawings, these arches are of different size, and they are arranged in a common plane.

The base has aplane face inclined upwardly from the front. At its rear edge it is provided with a depending foot-piece, the

lower margin of which'extends forwardly to constitute a rib for strengthening and stiffening the base as a whole, and a seat for the lower ends of the arches, the latter preferably entering the rib and belng thereby ings 16, renders the arc more firmly stayed against movement transverse to the plane of the arches. \Vhen the base is made of sheet metal the foot-piece and rib are formed by bending the sheet downwardly and recurving it upwardly, the edge of the upturned portion being spaced apart from the inclined surface plate, thereby constituting the foot-piece 14 having at its forward side a rib 15', the intervening space between the rib and the foot-piece forming a channel15 within which the ends of the arches may enter. The spacing of the upper margin of the rib 15 from the surface plate permits of the application to the legs of the arches of locking means when desired. Preferably, as shown, the leg 14 is offset inwardly, thereby restricting the channel 15 to the diametenof the arch wires.

The invention provides a construction which may be very inexpensively-made and from but a few parts. The form of the arches l2 and 13, and the engagement of the notches l7 withthe margins of the openes rigid against displacement in any direction in their own plane. Displacement of the arches in directions transverse to their plane is effectively prevented'by theseating of the ends of the v arches in the groove 15. On the other hand whenever there IS occasion for removal of the arches this is readily accomplished by compressing them to disengage the notches 17 from the margins of the ope nin 16.

A finished appearance is provided if downturned flanges, as 20, are formed at the ends of the plate 11 and the forward edge of the plate is overturned to provide a roll or bead 21. Under these circumstances the flanges '20 preferably terminate a short; distance above the level of the lowest parts of the downturned portion 14 and bead 21, whereby their edges are held out of contact with the desk or table (not shown) upon which the article is to be supported, and the scratching or marring of a finished surface is avoide r In some instances it may be desirable to provide a locking device for preventing the compression of the sides of the arches 12, 13, when the notches 17 are engaged with the margins of the openings 16. Accidental displacement of the arches is thus positively prevented. As shown, a locking plate, generally designated 22, is employed.
