Improvements in Ticket Holders for Dress and other Stands
and the like.
We, RICHARD CHARLES DAVID MCDANIEL of 79 Wood Street in the City of
London, Manufacturer of Shop Fittings, and FELIX MILVENNA of 12 Odsey
Street, Kensington, Liverpool in the County of Lancaster, Commercial Traveller,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention has for its object to provide a simple and inexpensive holder
which may be used for supporting a ticket referring to a dress, bonnet or other
article without necessitating the pinning or otherwise fixing of the ticket to said
article.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings
in which :-
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one form of the holder and
Fig. 2 shows in side view the same holder applied to a dress stand only the small
portion of the upper part of which is represented.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of another form of the holder which in Fig. 4 is
shown applied to the standard of say a bonnet stand.
Like letters indicate like parts throughout the drawings.
The holder shown in Fig. 1 is constructed of a plate preferably of metal stamped
out and bent so as to form two hooks A in which the lower edge of the ticket or
card rests or is gripped, two more or less vertical rests or bends B against which
the ticket may lean, a cross piece C connecting the two bends B and a horizontal
portion D having an eye or opening D¹.
When this construction of holder is applied to say a dress stand as shown in
Fig. 2 the knob E with which the stand is usually provided is unscrewed from the
bust or block F and the eye D' is passed over the stud or screw G which in Fig. 2
is represented in dotted lines, after which the knob E is replaced and screwed down
on to the holder and the ticket H may then be laid across the hooks A and as shown
lean against the rests B.
ים
The holder shown in Fig. 3 differs from that shown in Figs. 1 and 2 only in its
means of connection to the stand or other support. In this construction the eye
is replaced by a clip or spring fingers I the bifurcations of the flat portion D
necessary for forming these fingers being twisted so that the flat surface of the
fingers I may face each other, and bent so that the fingers will grip a vertical
support say for example the standard J as shown in Fig. 4. The clip or spring
fingers I may be directly connected to the cross piece C instead of through the
part D.
The last described holder may if desired be formed with the fingers I one
vertically over the other so that said holder may be applied to a shelf or to a
horizontal rod, this may be accomplished by twisting the portion D or otherwise
uitably arranging the device.
It will be obvious that instead of the two hooks A. being used more than two
arrow ones may be employed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
ion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. A ticket holder constructed in one piece and consisting of the hooks and bends
or rests A B cross piece C and part D D' substantially as described and illustrated
n Figures 1 and 2 of the

described adapted to be held on by the knob E substantially as described and
