PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Rack for Holding Pens, Pencils, Pipes, or the like.
I, FREDERICK HOWARD ROSHER, of "Valetta," Caterham, Surrey, and Old
Jamaica Wharf, Blackfriars, London, Lime & Cement Merchant, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Two similar slips of metal, wood bone cardboard or other substance (A & B)
are cut into a series of vertical loops, and then hinged at top & bottom to a
third slip or sheet of metal wood bone cardboard or other substance (C) in such

A Rack for Holding Pens, Pencils, Pipes, or the like.
I, FREDERICK HOWARD ROSHER,, of Old Jamaica Wharf, Blackfriars, London,
and 114, Waddon New Road, Croydon, but formerly of Valetta, Caterham,
Surrey, Lime and Cement Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement; -
or
The object of my invention, is to construct a combined rack or holder and
and
advertising board calendar in such manner that the same when in use can be
stood upon a table or desk, or suspended from a wall, and when desired for
transport the rack can be folded down upon the calendar or advertisement board
so as to form a flat article capable of being passed through the post or packed
away without injury.
My invention will be understood from the following description aided by the
accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a perspective elevation of a com-
bined rack, calendar, and advertisement board, the rack being in the open posi-
tion and showing a pen resting on its support.
Figure 2 is a front elevation of a combined rack, calendar, and advertisement
board, the rack being folded for transport purposes.

page_text: A, A, are two brackets forming the rack proper, and are provided with projec-
tions 13 forming loops for carrying pens (see Figure 1) or tobacco pipes, pencils,
or other like articles. These brackets are each provided with two or more
slots C, C, at their back edge, which slots engage loops I projecting from a back
board E, the loops 1) being slotted at their upper front portion, as at F, so that
when the brackets are opened out at right angles or thereabouts to the backing E
they engage the slits F and are held in an extended position to form the rack,
but by a slight lift of the brackets to free them from the slits F, the brackets
can be folded to lie close to the back board E to enable the article to assume a
flat condition ready for transport without fear of injury.
The back board E may have any desired advertisement, ornamentation, inscrip-
tion, or other device imprinted, impressed upon or attached to it and a calendar
or other device G is attached to the back board E preferably between the
brackets as shown but it may be applied to any other part.
H is a leg hinged to the back of the board E for allowing same to be stood
upon a desk or table, but such leg is folded close to the back board when the
article is required for transport.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my saiḍ
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. An advertising rack comprising a back board having brackets hinged
thereto at opposite sides, said brackets being arranged to be folded over upon
the face of the back board, and means for locking said brackets in a position at
right angles to the back board.
2. An advertising rack comprising a back board having an advertising space
and a calendar, brackets hinged to opposite sides of the back-board and adapted
to be folded over upon the face of the latter, and means for locking said brackets
in a position at right angles to the back board, substantially as described.
3. An advertising rack comprising a back board having an advertising space
and a calendar, slotted loops attached to opposite sides of the back board, notched
brackets supported by said loops and adapted to be folded over upon the face of
the back board, and means for locking said brackets in a position at right angles
to the back board, substantially as described.
