Improvements in the Means or Mode of Advertizing.
I FREDERICK JONES PALFREY of 64 Edgbaston Street, Birmingham, Artist do
hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in the means or mode of advertising; my
chief object being portability in the construction of a frame of any suitable shape or
configuration the sides of which are illustrated with the advertizement; it is applicable
to out door and indoor purposes and constructed of metal, glass, wood or other
material and to fold up when not required for use.
I will describe my invention to a triangle or a figure of three angles, and made
from metal each side is of the same length and is jointed or hinged at each end;
there are four parts and three joints or hinges by which means they are connected
together the section at each end is provided with two piercings; three of the parts
have their edges rolled over for imparting strength and to prevent buckling while the
one at the one end is rolled over but not closed down so that when folded to a certain
position it will allow the other end part to slide down and the two piercings will be
opposite to each other, it is now formed and fixed as a triangle, and by means of the
piercings suspended or affixed to any desired part of the building the two sides take
the advertizements the other forming the back, when not in use it is folded up one
part upon the other.
In come cases I may construct the parts forming the sides as a frame having a bead
or moulding so as to admit by sliding in plates of metal, glass, wood or other material
either from the one end of each section or from the top edge the said plates bearing
the matter for advertizement and constructed with the joint or hinge as above
described.
Or I may construct a frame of wire to fold and the plate of metal for the advertize-
ment bent at their upper edge, and upon the said wire frame, in this case they would
be suspended, and affixed to the building by loops bent in the wire at the back
part.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Means or Mode of Advertizing.
I, FREDERICK JONES PALFREY of 64 Edgbaston Street, Birmingham, Artist, do
hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The chief aim in this invention is in the construction of a frame jointed or hinged
together, or plates of metal, wood, glass, or other material, jointed or hinged together,
the sides or surfaces in any case bearing any descriptive matter or illustration,
and for advertisement; the parts so arranged as to close or fold up when not employed
to its purpose.
And in order that this my said invention may be more clearly understood I will
now proceed to describe the same, reference being made to the sheet of drawings,
to the various figures and letters marked thereon (that to say)―
Fig. 1 is a view in elevation of a strip of four sections, jointed or hinged together,
constructed of metal.
Fig. 2 is the same when arranged and applied to its purpose.
Fig. 3 is the same when not in use and folded up for portability.

page_text: Fig. 4 is a view in elevation of a frame of wire or metal, in four sections jointed
or hinged together.
Fig. 5 is the same when arranged and applied to its purpose.
Fig. 6 is the same when not in use and folded up for portability.
In Figs. 1. 2. 3. a, a, a, a, are the sides and bbbare the joints or hinges:
cccc is the edge of a à a a but rolled over in the inner side, one of the ends of a
having the piercings-d d, has its edge flattened down, and when arranging to form
Fig. 2 will slide down the other end of a having the rolled over edge, so that the
piercings d d become opposite each other, and the frame is formed as Fig. 2 and can
be thus hung in any desired position with the required advertisement upon the two
front sections.
Or, a frame constructed as above described that is to say, jointed or hinged at bbb
but having the front sections open and of any required outline; in this case, glass for
transparency or any other suitable material to receive the descriptive or illustrative
matter would be slid in from one of the ends as shown in the cross section a¹ or could be
from the top edge.
In Figs. 4. 5. 6 I show the frame a, a, a, a, made from wire bbbare the joints or
hinges, the plates of metal (or other material) e to receive the advertisement is bent
at its upper edge over the frame a, and is thus suspended, as shown in Fig. 5 when
formed in position it is retained by passing the wire pin g in, as shewn, and the loops h h
are used for hanging the same.
on the
The above being my said invention I wish to observe in conclusion, that I do not
confine myself to the precise detail or arrangement of parts, as shewn
accompanying sheet of drawings but that I hold myself at liberty to alter or modify
the same without departing essentially from the principle of this ny said invention.
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 :-
1st. The construction of a frame consisting of a series of sections of metal or other
material jointed or hinged together, or a frame jointed or hinged together with the
sections open to admit of glass, or other material, or a frame made from wire, jointed
or hinged together to receive sections of metal suspended, substantially as hereinbefore
set forth and described.
2nd. The general construction, combination, and arrangement of parts forming the
said frames; the said sections or parts forming a required configuration, and their
sides or surfaces illustrated with matter or subject for advertisement when so required
or to fold up when not required substantially as hereinbefore described in the foregoing
Specification and shown upon the accompanying sheet of drawings; the whole forming
Improvements in the means or mode of advertizing."
