PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Date or Calendar Pad and Advertising or other Tablet.
I, CHARLES JACOB BROWETT, of the firm of Griffiths and Browett, of
Bradford Street, in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Ordinary date pads are made fixtures with their bases, or carriers, so that after
the date or calendar sheets have been used, and then torn away, the said bases or
carriers of them become useless, and are then thrown away.
By my invention, the said pad is made separable, and attachable or detachable
from its base or carrier, in manner that after the date or calendar sheets have been
used, a fresh pad can be placed in position at times as may be desired.
By thus making the pads attachable, expensive, and highly ornamental tablets
for carrying the pads can be employed, as the tablets remain for a considerable
period, whilst it is only the date or calendar pad, which is newly fixed or applied.
In carrying out one form of my invention, I take an ornamental tablet or base
plate, embellished in any particular or ornamental manner, and preferably having
upon it the trade name of a firm, or the particular goods or commodities of the
firm, such as "Hudson's Dry Soap," and in the middle of which tablet, I secure
an open topped frame, with the opposite sides rabated or grooved, wherein the
carrier of the date or calendar pad, slides, and is there held in position.
The tablet is suspended from a suitable hole made near the middle of its top, or
by an attached loop.
The frame for the carrying of the pad, may be made out of the metal of the
tablet.
As a modification, I pierce the middle of the tablet and secure within it, an
attached frame, open at top, or at one side, so as to admit of the pad sliding
within it, and being held thereby. Or instead of a frame, I may provide the tablet
with clips, for securing the pads, or the sheets composing the pads. Or the pads
may be carried by a metal frame, which admits of being attached to the tablet, in
any desired way.
The carrier of the pad, that is, the base upon which the pad rests, may itself
have cars or clips, which engage with or pass through holes in the tablet, and are
then turned down, or back, and thus affix the pad or its carrying base, to the
tablet.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Date or Calendar Pad and Advertising or other Tablet.
I, CHARLES JACOB BROWETT, of the firm of Griffiths and Browett, of
Bradford Street, in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturer, 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:-
Ordinary date pads, are made fixtures with their bases or carriers, so that after
the date or calendar sheets of the same, have been used (and then torn away) the.
bases or carriers become useless, and are then thrown away.
By my invention, the said pad is made separable, and attachable or detachable

page_text: from Its Dase or carrier, in manner that after the date or calendar sheets have been
used, a fresh pad can be placed in position upon the front of the carrier or tablet.
By thus making the pads attachable, expensive, and highly ornamental tablets,
for carrying the pads, can be employed, as the tablets remain for a considerable
period, whilst it is only the date or calendar pad which is newly fixed or applied.
or
In carrying out one form of my invention, I take an ornamental tablet or base
plate, embellished in any particular or ornamental manner, and preferably having
upon it the trade name of a firm, such as "Griffiths and Browett Limited;
the particular goods or commodities of the firm may be placed upon it, such as
"Hudson's Dry Soap," and in the middle of which tablet, 1 secure an open
topped frame, with the opposite sides, turned up and inwardly, to form grooves,
wherein the base of the date or calendar pad, slides, and is held.
The tablet may be suspended in any desired way, such as by a hole through
the plate, or by an attached loop. Or the frames for the carrying of the pad,
may be made out of the metal of the tablet.
As a modification, pierce the middle of the tablet, and secure within it, an
attached frame, open at top, or at one side, so as to admit of the pad sliding
within it, and being held thereby. Or instead of a frame, I may provide the tablet
with clips, for securing the pads, or sheets composing them.
The base of the pad, may itself have ears or clips, which engage with, or pass
through, holes in the tablets, and are then turned down, or back, thus affixing the
pad or its base to tablet.
Figure of the accompanying drawings, represents in front elevation, an attach-
able and detachable date pad, combined with a carrier or tablet, constructed and
arranged according to one form of my invention.
Figure 2 represents the carrier or tablet, with the date pad removed, showing the
bracket means, wherein the base of the pad is slipped, and there held, by the lower
edge resting upon ledges.
Figure 3 represents the removed pad and its base, separate from its tablet.
Figure 4 is a top side edge view of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a cross section of Figure 1, and
Figure 6 is an edge view of Figure 2.
a is the carrier or tablet, consisting of a plate or sheet of any material, lettered,
embellished, or ornamented in any desired way. bare frames or upright brackets,
secured by eyeletings or rivetings, to the said base plate, and having upon their
outer sides, turned up and inwardly directed overhanging sides 63, so as to form
grooves, wherein the base c, of the pad d, is slipped, and is supported within the
said frame, by the lower edge of it coming against ledges 4, as best seen in
Figures 1 and 5.
Figure 7 represents a modification of the last described arrangement. In this
form of my invention, the frames or upright brackets, are made from a single piece
of metal, and eyeleted or rivetted to the plate. a is the tablet, the carrier, with
inwardly turned over sides 63, eyeletings, bottom stops or ledges /^.
Figure 8 represents a further form of my invention, and
Figure 9 is a longitudinal vertical section of the same.
In this arrangement, the base of the pad is provided with metal clips, which take
through piercings or holes in the tablet, and after their passage therethrough, are
turned flat to the back of the same.
a is the tablet, e the base of the pad d, and is a sheet metal clip, secured to the
back of the base e, and with the tongues or ends 2, passed through holes or
piercings a, and then turned flat to the back of the said tablet, as shown at
Figure 9.
Figure 10 is a tablet or plate, and
Figure 11 is a pad, with accessory parts arranged according to another form of
my invention.
Figure 12 is a transverse section through the middle of the loop of the plate

page_text: a is a tablet, a² a loop, open at top and bottom, raised from the middle of the
plate, or attachably connected to it. d is a pad, and c is the base of it, whilst b is
an attachment tongue, with a free-end 6, adapted to take and slide within the
loop a², as represented in Figure 10.
Figure 13 represents a modification of the arrangement Figure 1, and consists in
forming the frame or holder part of the pad, from cut metal of the tablet, and
shaped into clips, or overhanging brackets. a is the tablet, with cut out and raised
holders, clips, or the like a², as best seen in the transverse section Figure 14. To
prevent the pad carried by the base (which is represented in dotted lines) from
passing through, a rest a³ is provided.
Figure 15 represents a like tablet as Figures 13 and 14, but with the holding
parts (which constitute in some of the former arrangements the frames) made
separate from the material of the said tablets. a is a tablet or plate, named, lettered,
or embellished in any desired way; a' are attached holding pieces, whose shanks a³
are passed through holes a' in the plate a, and then turned back or clenched, as
represented in Figure 16.
Figure 17 represents a plate, showing the piercings a', wherethrough the
shanks a³, subsequent to being turned down or clenched, pass.
Figure 18 represents another form of my invention, and a modification of the first
arrangement.
