2 Claims.

scribed and claimed, description being accomplished by reference to the accompanying drawing.

Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a calendar pad stand constructed in accordance with the invention.

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view on line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 but showing a slightly different construction. In the preferred manner of constructing the article, it is stamped from a single plate of sheet metal or any other appropriate material. The plate is denoted at 5 and it may be shaped an'd ornamented in any desired way. It is preferably provided with a stamped out leg 6 for holding it in a substantially upright position, and with an opening 7 so that it may be hung if 'desired.

sunk portion 8 to receive a calendarpad 9, and appropriate fasteners 10 are employed for securing the upper edge of said pad to said plate. The portion of the plate at the lower edge'of the countersunk portion 8 carries two tongues 11 (in a I said plate, and at least one tongue carried by Serial No. 666,729

relatively long article such as shown in Fig. 1) or a single tongue 12 (in a shorter article such as seen in Fig. 3). The tongues 11 or 12 project upwardly in forwardly spaced relation with the countersunk portion 8 to lie against the front side r of the pad 9, at the-lower edge of the latter. These tongues therefore effectively hold the pad leaves from upwardly curling. r

In Figs. 1 and 2, the tongues 11 are stamped from the countersunk portion 8 and the front sidesof said tongues are convex. In Fig. 3, the tongue 12 is also stamped from the countersunk plate portion 8, but said tongue is provided with a flat front side. Obviously, however, the tongues could be of shapes other thanshown.

The invention provides an exceptionally simple and inexpensive calendar pad support embodying a novel. anti-curl feature which is greatly advantageous over similar holders having no provision to prevent curling of the leaves.

I claima- I 1. A calendar holder comprising a plate having a countersunk portion to receive a calendar pad, means for fasteningthe upper edge of the pad to the portion of the plate at the lower edge of said countersunk portion, said tongue projecting upwardly in forwardlyspaced relation with said countersunk portion to lie against the front side Plate 5 is provided with a rectangular counterof the pad at the lower edge of the latter, pre

venting the pad leaves from curling upwardly. 7
