FOSTER &"ZBRO. 60., OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND eoLr SCORE cam) HOLDER Application ma, December 4, 1930. Serial No. 499,911.

This invention relates tocertain new and useful improvements in golf score card holders' and has for its primary object to pro-.

vide 'a compact, convenient, inexpensive and simple holder on which the golf score card and a pencil are secured, and which card and pencil can be easily and quickly removed as desired.

A further object of the invention is to combine the component parts so as to prevent any accidental displacement thereof;

A still further object of theinvention is to providea device which may be integrally stamped or formed from a sheet of resilient material.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a front view of the present invention showing all the parts in operative position;

Figure 2 is a back view of the device showin the position of the clip; igure 3 is a section on line 3-3 of Figure 1; and

Figure 4 is a top view.

In proceeding according to the present invention a blank is initially formed as by stamping, in which all of the component parts are integrally related and disposed in a single plane; the blank being composed of a frame 1, side wings 5 and outwardly projecting fingers 6 and 7. The frame 1 isof substantially rectangular form and is' of a material having sprin properties, prefer.- ably sheet metal. Su sequently, the sides are bent inwardly to form the'card holding and guiding wings 5, the fingers 6 are bent inwardly and upwardly to form the resilientpencil holding means 6 and the finger 7 is bent to form the downwardly extending supporting clip on the rear of the frame.

The score card 2 is retained in position by the side wings 5 which prevent lateral movement and further by the pressure exerted against its bottom end by the pencil 3 which thereby prevents any movement of the card relative to the holding frame.-

The score card 2 is printed so, as to have space for the record of 9 holes on each side and hence is reversible in its position. It is obvious that the pencil may be removed for easy positioning of the card or that it may be left in place and the card forced into position behind it.

The pencil holders or fingers 6, being of resilient material, serve to exert a constant position pressure against the card through the pencil, as well as to hold the pencil firmly in place. t L

The clip 7 on the rear of the .device'enables the user to keep it in any convenient place, such as on a belt, the outside of a pocket, or 011 the top of a golf bag.

It will be readily seen that the present invention embodies a convenient means whereby the comparative scores of severalplayers claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a card and pencil holder, a frame formed of a single piece of resilient material,

side wings-integral with the frame, upturned, inwardly extending fingers integral with said 7 frame at the bottom thereof adapted to retain a pencil and exert a positive pressure through saidpencil upon the card, and a downwardly extending clip member at the rear of said frame and integral therewith. 2. In a golf score card and pencil holder, I a frame .formed of a single piece of resilient material, means carried by said frame to guide and hold a card, upturned inwardly extending fingers integralwith said frame at the bottom thereof adapted to retain a pencil and exert a positive pressure through said pencil upon the card, and means for sup ortin the frame from the clothing or the ike o the player.

3. In agolf score card and encil holder,- a frame, means carried by said rame to guide and hold a card, means adj acent-to the bottom ofthe frame and adapted to retain a pencil and to exert a positive pressure through sald pencil upon the card, and means on the frame whereby said frame may be supported from the clothing-or the like'of the player.

4. In a golf scorecard and pencil holder, a frame, means carried by said frame to guide 9 and removably hold a card, and means adjacent to the bottom of the frame and adapted to retain a pencil and to exert a positive pressure through said pencil upon the card.

In testimony whereof I hafie signed my name to this specification.

WILLIAM C. FOSTER.
