According to this invention the clip is made from a strip of suitable material
which is bent at or about the centre to form a clip for the "copy" or card, and the
ends of the strip bent to form a clip for the board or slate.
This invention is illustrated by the accompanying sheet of drawings, which are
referred to in the following description.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the clip as applied to drawing boards.
Fig. 2 is a back elevation of the above.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the clip as applied to a slate, and
Fig. 4 is a front view of the same.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2 the clip is made from a piece of steel, hard brass or
other suitable material which is bent as at a to form a clip for the copy or other
card while the ends of the strip are bent to clip upon the board d. In Figs. 3
and 4 a similar clip is shown, but the ends b are not bent as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
The extreme ends of the strip as shown at e Fig. 3 may be turned up in order that
the clip may be more readily placed in position.
It will of course be understood that either of the two clips shown may be used
with either the slate or the board, and the angle between the card and board clips
may be varied to suit different conditions.
Q

page_text: The clip may be made by any of the usual contrivance and it may be plated or
otherwise dealt with in a similar manner.
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 :-
1. A clip made from a single piece of material and bent so as to hold itself upon
& slate, drawing board or the like, and also to hold a copy or other card
substantially as herein described.
2. The clip shown and described in the accompanying drawings and Specification
for the purposes therein set forth.
