Improvements in Advertisement Carus.
We, DANIEL HARPER, of 266-8, Holloway Road, in the County of London,
and JOSEPH PATRICK KINSELA, of Midleton, in the County of Cork, Inventor, 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 follow-
ing statement:-
This invention for improvements in puzzle advertisement cards relates to that
class of puzzle adapted to display advertisements and which when given away
form an excellent advertising medium.
According to this invention a piece of cord having a loop at either end is passed
over tongues on a base card or the like the loops and string being preferably taut.
A removable card or the like is secured to the first piece by an endless cord that

the removable card.
The puzzle is to remove or replace the removable card. Both cards form the
media for advertisements.
In order to remove the card, a portion of the endless string is pushed through
one of the loops and over the tongue. The two sides of the endless string are
then passed on either side of the tongue and the card can be pulled away. By
a similar operation the card is replaced.
The accompanying drawing shows the construction of the advertisement puzzle
card.
The base card a which is the principal medium for containing the desired
advertisements is provided at its two ends with tongues b as shown. A cord c
extending between the two tongues is tied at its two ends d to the tongue. An
endless cord e passes round the cord e and is secured to a disc or block f that
may also contain advertisements.
In order to remove the disc f a portion or fold of the cord is pushed between
one end d of the cord c and the face of the tongue b with the fold pointing out-
wards. This fold or portion is then passed over the end of the tongue b to the
back and the cord e is then gently pulled away.
To replace the disc, a portion or fold of the cord e is inserted between one
end d of the cord c and the back of the tongue b with the fold pointing outwards
and is then drawn over the tongue b to the front, and on gently pulling the cord e
it will again take the position shown.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
The improved puzzle advertisement card, substantially as described with refer-
ence to the drawings.
