PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Advertising Devices, applicable to Various Purposes
of Utility.
I, JOHN PERCY EVILL, of Hillside, Wimbledon, Surrey, Manager, do hereby
declare the nature of the said invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to devices, of the improved construction hereinafter
described, adapted to serve the purposes of an advertising medium and of a
cushion for pins or the like, and other purposes of utility hereinafter mentioned.
The improved device, in one modification, comprises two outer metal discs of
the same size and shape, the edge of each of which is stamped or otherwise formed
with radiating equidistant projections, spaced apart a distance exceeding their
width, and cupped or turned at an angular relation to the plane of the disc.
By such formation, the radiating projections of the pair of discs used in each
device will alternate in position, when the discs are placed opposite each other, and
will leave spaces between the adjacent projections.
Such discs are used conjunctively with an intermediate disc of papier-mache,
cardboard or other suitable material adapted to receive and hold pins inserted
thereinto, and which latter disc is located between the outer metal discs by means
of said projection, which, may be either turned into the edge or substance or so as
to embrace the edge of the pin receiving disc, or, the outer and inner discs may be
secured together by inserting pins, wires or the like through holes made in the
said projections of the outer discs into the substance of the intermediate pin
receiving disc.
When the device is thus constructed, the pins required for use will be inserted
through the spaces left between the adjacent projections.
The outer dises, at the time of being stamped out, will also be stamped with any
desired advertisement matter.
The device, as thus constructed, will be very attractive in appearance, and ou
that account, as well as on that of its pin-holding purpose of utility, will be likely
to be kept by those for whose use it is intended to the advantage of the advertiser.
Or, in lieu of the foregoing construction, one of the discs may be larger than the
other, and its enlarged part may be flanged to receive the other outer disc and the
intermediate or pin-receiving disc, and perforated around to receive the pins,
the discs being secured together by turning or rivetting the edge of the flange over
that of the other covering discs.
Or, in such latter construction, the smaller outer disc may be replaced by a
disc-like looking glass secured as aforesaid.
Or, in any of the preceding constructions, excepting that referred to in the last
preceding paragraph, the centre part of one of the outer discs and of the
intermediate or pin receiving disc may be stamped or cut out and occupied by a
disc looking glass appearing on one side of the device, the whole of the other side
of which may be occupied by the desired advertisement matter and a calendar or
the like stainped or impressed therein or thereon.

Improved Advertising Devices, applicable to Various Purposes
of Utility.
I, JOHN PERCY EVILL, of Hillside, Wimbledon, Surrey, Engineer, 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 relates to devices of the improved constructions hereinafter
described, adapted to serve the purposes of an advertising medium and of a cushion
for pins or the like and other purposes of utility hereinafter mentioned.
The improved devices are represented on the accompanying drawings, which
will, hereinafter, be further referred to.
In Figs. 1 to 7, the improved device is represented as consisting of two outer
metal discs a, b, adapted to serve the purposes of an advertising medium or a
calendar, and of an intermediate disc c, adapted to serve the purpose of a holder
of pins or the like, such discs being respectively formed, adapted and combined as
will be now described.
The discs a, b, are made of the same size, with radiating equidistant pro-
jections a 1, or 61, spaced apart a distance exceeding their width (vide Fig. 1)
and which are flanged or turned at an angular relation to the plane of the disc,
vide Fig. 2. The discs a, b, may be formed with the radiating projections a 1, 61,
and such projections may be flanged in relation to the plane of the disc, and the
discs may have the desired advertisement matter or calendar impressed therein or
thereon, by succeeding or simultaneous operations of a press in any well known
or convenient manner. The intermediate disc C, is made of papier-mache, card-
board or any other suitable material adapted to receive and hold pins or the like
inserted thereinto. In putting the device together, the disc c, is placed between
the discs a, b, which are so placed (vide Fig. 2) that the flanged projections a 1, 61, of
each disc will respectively be situated opposite and centrally of the spaces 62, a 2,
between the projections of the other. The three discs are closed together in these
relative positions, and are secured therein either, by turning the projections a 1, 61,
inwardly into the edge of the disc c, (vide Fig. 3), or, by inserting them through
the substance of the disc c, (which will then be made of a larger diameter than
the discs a, b,) and clinching or turning the points either inwardly under the
opposite dise (ride Fig. 4) or outwardly (vide Fig. 5), or, by causing them to
embrace the edge of the disc c, and clinching the points inwardly under the
opposite disc, vide Fig. 6. In any such case, the projections of the two discs a, b,
will alternate in position, and will leave spaces c 1, between the adjacent projections,
for the insertion of the pins f, required for use.
Or, the flanged projections a 1, 61, may be pierced with holes a 3, 63, (vide Fig. 7)
and the three discs may be held together by inserting pins, wires or the like d,
through said holes into the edge of the disc c.
In a modification applicable to each of the before described constructions, the
centre part of one of the discs, a, b, or of one of such discs and of the disc c,
may be stamped or cut out, so as to leave an opening a 4, of any desired size
(vide Fig. 8), and a disc reflecting glass e, (vide Fig. 9) may be secured, by the
holding together of the discs as aforesaid, between the discs a, c, so as to appear
through the opening a 4, on the one side of the device, while the other side thereof
may be occupied by a calendar or by any desired advertisement matter stamped or
impressed therein or thereon as aforesaid, or otherwise applied thereto. The
silvered back of the glass e, may be protected from being scratched by the pins
inserted in the disc c, by a layer of paper e 1, or otherwise in any convenient manner.
Or, in another construction, one (say) a, of the outer metal discs, is made larger
than the other b, (vide Figs. 10) and its enlarged part a 5, is perforated around

page_text: with holes a 6, and is flanged or turned up in relation to the plane of the disc,
(vide Fig. 11); and the device is put together (vide Fig. 12) by inserting the
discs c, b, into the flanged disc a, and then securing all three discs together by
rivetting or turning down the edge of the flange a 5, over the edge of the disc b,
the pins f, intended for use, being inserted through the holes a 6.
Or, in this construction, the disc b, may be replaced by a reflecting glass e,
secured by the turning over of the rim of the flange a 5, vide Fig. 13.
The improved devices may be made of any suitable metal or material, and of
any desired shape and size, and will be very attractive in appearance, and on that
account, as well as on that of its pinholding and other purposes of utility, will be
likely to be kept by those for whose use it is intended, to the advantage of the
advertiser.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
