Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented No v. 29, 1.921..
Application filed May 14:, 1920. Serial No. 381,263.
T 0 all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, JACOB DAVIDSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sample- Display Devices, of which the following is a description.
'lhis invention relates to an improved sample display device, and more particularly to a simple and inexpensive folder in which merchantable articles, such as neckwear and the like, may be attractively displayed or presented by the manufacturer to the jobber, and by the latter to the retailer, who may subsequently remove the article from the folder and sell the same.
It is the primary object of my invention to provide a display devicefor the above purpose which is so constructed that waste of' expensive materials, which has heretofore resulted from the furnishing of samples by manufacturers to jobbers, will be obviated, and the greater portion of the sample article confined and protected, while, at the same time the visual appearance of the article when applied to use by the purchaser may be observed.
In one embodiment of my invention, particularly designed for the purpose of displaying neckwear samples, I propose to provide a cardboard folder having superposed sections between which the major portion of the tie or scarf is confined, and a relatively short section overlying the superposed sections, and beneath which the material of the scarf is extended, said latter section of the folder having a collar depicted thereon, and being rovided with one or more openings throug which the scarf is visible.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the improved sam ple display device and in the construction and arrangement of its several parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described and subsequently incorporated in the subjoined claims.
In the drawings, wherein I have disclosed several practical embodiments of the invention, and in which similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views:
Figure 1 is a front elevation showmg one construction of the display folder, adapted for the display of four-in-hand ties.
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary elevation, the
outer relatively short section of the folder being lifted or extended.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section taklecu through the device.
Fig. 4 is a front elevation similar to Fig. 1, lllustrating a slightly modified form of the device.
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary elevation of said modification, similar to Fig. 2, and,
Fig. 6 is a horizontalsectional view taken on the line 6-6 of Fig. 4. a
Referring in detail to the drawings, and more particularly to Figs. 1, 2 and 3 thereof, 5 and 6 respectively indicate the superposed sections of a folder which is preferably produced from a length of cardboard or other suitable material of the requisite length and width. This length of material is bent upon itself intermediate of its ends along the line indicated at7, to provide the superposed sections 5 and 6 of approximately equal length.
At the opposite end of the section 6 the cardboard folder is again bent upon itself along the line indicated at 8, to provide a relatively short section 9, which is adapted to overlie the free end portion of the section 5. This free end of the section 5 of the folder is provided with a horizontal slot 10 for a short section 9 of the folder, the outlines of a collar are depicted, as indicated at 11, and in the illustrated embodiment of my inven tion 1 have shown the conventional and wellknown form of folded or turned-down collar. It will, however, be manifest as the description proceeds, that in so far as the aims and purposes of the invention are concerned, it is not to be confined or restricted to the illustration of this specific form of collar. Between the central diverging lines which represent the front opposed edges of the outer'fold of the collar, the section 9 of the folder is provided with an opening 12, which is of the approximate shape of the knot of a four-in hand tie, and below this opening the folder section 9 is provided with a second relatively large opening 13 therein. The material of the folder section 9, which is cut therefrom to provide the opening 13, remains integrally connected to the folder section at the opposite sides of the opening, and adjacent the lower end thereof, thus afiording a yieldable tab 14 and a slit 15 at the lower end of said tab.
In the practical use of the device, as above e tab the set 15.

between the superposed sections or the rotected against g or other possible ii y, while the xerts suhicient oress' g are n on the expos'ed portion of the scarf hold the same against shifting movement through the opening 18, so that this portion of the scarf will always remain perfectly flat. A large number of the sample containing folders may thus be pa ched together for shipment by the manufacturer to the jobber, or by the latter to the retailer, without the slightest injury to the ties. Thus the sample article may be sold to the jobber or retailer as a part of order, and as the sample furnished is a nplete merchantable article, it may be reved from the folder by the retailer and eyed for sale. has heretofore been the custom of manufacturersto cut up large quantities material for use as samples, which resulted in an absolute waste, and in the aggregate constituted a considerable financial loss. By means of the present invention this practice may be discontinued, and for the purpose of exhibiting samples to the jobber or to the retailer, from which he may make his selection, the complete merchantablearticle is supplied.
in Figs. 4, 5 and 6 of the drawings, 1 have disclosed a slightly difierent form of the in vention which is particularly designed for the display of ties or scarfs which are generally known to the trade as how or bat Wing ties. In this modified construction the folder is composed of the three relatively movable sections 5, 6 and 9, as in the firstdescribed construction, but unlikethe latter, the free end portion of the section 5 of the folder is provided with a centrally located relatively short horizontal slot 16 and an additional slot 17 located in spaced parallel relation to each of the longitudinal side edges of the folder section, the said latter slots being disposed below the line of the slot 16.
The section 9 of the folder is provided with the two horizontally spaced openings 18 extending through the ends of the outer assessathe invention, one end of the tie is passed in the fold of the collar, which is depicted thereon, and being shaped to correspond with the wings of the tie.
In the use of this last described form of 0 through the two slots 1?, and extends over the outer surface 1 i sect on 5. The intermediate portion of the tie is i ided itself and or sections 5 and 6, tie is then drawn ou it and passed 1 the tie and folder is then 1 to section so sposed end portion of the i the openings 1' s of the how. this on struction, iiaewise, 771;. be readily seen to that the sample folders can be conveniently packed for shipment *rvithout any way, d turbing the position of the 'tles'therein, s that the latter will not be injured.
rem the foregoing scription considered in connection accompanying drawings, the construction of the several illustrated embodiments the invention t ll be readily understood.
I have above referred to the device as ing primarily intended for use in the play of neclrwear, but is obvious that by resort to certain necessary modifications in r be easily, made, the sample folder may also employed for the display of various other articles of merchandise. The articles may be very easily and quic v arranged upon the folder in the manner above explained, or removed therefrom without detracting from their neat appearance when roe subsequently displayed to prospective purchasers.
L is also to be understood that in practice the folders may be made in various widths and lengths, and they can also be produced 1 from other materials than cardboard, though for obvious reasons the latter is preferable. Accordingly I reserve the privilege of adopting such legitimate modifications in the form, construction and arrangement of the several parts as are fairly embodied within the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
I claim:
1. A display device comprising a pair of sections of stifi material made from a single length of such material and being folded over into substantially parallel relation to receive flatly therein a portion of a merchantable article being displayed, another portion of such article adapted to lie exteriorly of the'sections and in a flat condition against the outer face' of one of said sections.
2. A display device for merchantable samples, consisting of a folder having so? perposed sections of substantially equal length, and between which a portion of the sample article is adapted to be confined, one of said folder sections having a slot through which the article is extended over the outer surface of said section, and a relatively short foldable section extending from the other of said superposed sections, and adapted to overlie the latter portion of the sample article, and said short section having openings therein through which the article is visible.
3. A display device for merchantable samples, consisting of a folder having superposed sectlons of substantially equal length, and between which a portion of the sample article is adapted to be confined, one
of said folder sections having a slot through which the article is extended over the outer surface of said section, a relatively short foldable section extending from the other of said superposed sections, and adapted to overlie the latter portion of the sample article, said short section having openings therein through which the article is visible, and said short section being further provided with a tab opposed to one of the openings therein, and exerting a yielding pressureupon the article to prevent its casual movement relative to said folder section.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name,
JACOB DAVIDSON.
