LOUIS COURLANDER 42 North End Croydon, Surrey, (Jeweller) do hereby declare
the nature of my invention for a WINDOW TICKET HOLDER to be as follows:-
It is comprised of two pieces of metal made to open and close to take various size
tickets, the front part having a series of holes, the back slide having a spring passing
through a hole and fitting into either hole in the front piece according to the size
required, and at the same time locking it to prevent the ticket falling out. The
holder is provided with a projecting hook or fastener at each end, one hook or fastener
to be used for fixing to rod or other window fittings, the other hook to be used for
suspending the article to be shewn On the front at top & bottom are two small
turned up hooks to hold the ticket.

page_text: I, LOUIS COURLANDER, of 42 North End, Croydon, in the county of Surrey,
Jeweller, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for AN IMPROVED
WINDOW TICKET HOLDER, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The said improved Window Ticket Holder consists of 2 pieces of metal or other
material (which are herein after called the front and back plates) fastened together
by 4 small clips, two to each plate.
The plates are capable of sliding upon each other; such sliding movements being
governed and regulated by a serrated rack and spring, so as to render the holder
adaptable to the size of the ticket to be exhibited.
Suitable suspending hooks are formed, by bent elongations of the plates, whereby
the holder may be attached to an ordinary bar, and the article to be exhibited may be
suspended to the holder.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained,
reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of
reference indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is a front view of my invention, shewing that side of the same which is
turned towards the window, and to which the ticket is attached.
Fig. 2 is a back view of the same, and Fig. 3 a side view, a is the front plate, the
upper end of which is furnished with three elongations or provisions, which, (when
bent as shewn) form the hooks, fand h; the large hook being turned back for
supporting the holder upon a bar, or other means of support, and the hooks h being
bent forward to engage the upper edge of the ticket. A serrated rack, or number of
indentations forming ratchet teeth, is or are stamped in the front plate, as shewn at d-
Two small lugs or clips c c also form part of the front plate, which are turned back, so
as to clip the back plate b.
The back plate b is also furnished with three elongations or provisions, which (when
bent as shewn) form the hooks and g; the hook g. being turned back, and the
hooks being turned forward. The hook g is utilised in supporting the article
exhibited, and the hooks engage the lower edge of the ticket. In forming the
back plate the spring e is stamped out and sheared from the plate, except at the lower
end. Two small lugs or clips c' c¹ also form part of the back plate, and are bent
forward so as to clip the front plate a.
When the two plates are thus placed together and united, the upper end of the
spring e enters into one of the sunk ratchet teeth in d with sufficient force to prevent
the weight of the article supported by the hook g causing the plates to slip upon each
other.
The ticket is inserted and securely held against the front plate a, by the hooks / h
above, and h¹ h¹ below, the holder being extended sufficiently to accommodate the
ticket and hold the same with firmness.

If preferred the four lugs c c c¹ c¹ may be attached to either of the plates, and other
slight and obvious modifications may be made.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. The manufacture and use of ticket holders, consisting of two sliding plates, their
relative positions being capable of adjustment by means of the rack d and spring e;
such plates being provided with hooks f g h h and lugs or clips ce¹, all severally
operating substantially as and for the purposes herein before described and shewn on
the drawings.
2. The general construction, combination and arrangement of the several and
respective parts, together forming my invention of An improved window ticket holder,
substantially as hereinbefore described and shewn on the drawings.
