Thepresent invention relates to improve ments in display holding attachments, and has for an ob ect to provide an atachment. for use in holding flags, letters of the alpha-' "bet and other display symbols.
Another object of the invention resides in providing an improved devicewhereb'y flags or other insignia may be attached to the walls I of tents, moldings, or other'supports, and on ornamental iron, the bumpers of motor vehicles, and the like.
A further object of the invention isto provide a simple and inexpensive construction of holder which is adaptableto-various forms 0i supports, and which will hold flags and other insignia in various attractive group formations. I
With theforegoing and other" objects in view, the invention willibe described more 'full'y hereinafter and more particularly, p

Figure 12 is a perspective view illustrating Figure'l is a perspectiveviewof a device Figure 5 is also a perspective view, show tiv'ely reversed positions and as holding flags Figure 7 is a transverse section taken on the I Figure 9 is a similar View of the clipen'i- Figure 10 is also a perspective view showastill further modified form of the invention, and I Figure 13 is also a perspective view-showiiig a further modification.
Referring for the present to Figures 1 to 5 inclusive, -14 designates generally a well tempered-steel coil spring or other resilient material which is formed into a vclosed loop of preferably oblong form and confined as r to its central portionby a metallic or other 65551 material plate 15, the side portions 16 of which are coiled about the'opposite'legs of thespring 14 and squeezedtightly in the cen- 7 tral portions against the central part of the" spring lat-in orderto retain the p1ate 15 in 657* a substantially central position forming the, closed loops 17 and. 18 at opposite ends of the device; Theseloops- 17 and 18 possess lateral and longitudinal flexibility in order'to permit the loops to be extended outwardly spaces within the, loops, and the loops may also be drawn aside laterally,as indicated in I Figures 4 and 5.
r The die used in applying the plate 15 will form crimps 19in the cylindrical portions 16 which embrace the spring legs, giving freedam to the; balance of the spring legs. As
shownin Figure 2, the ends 20 of the spring are indicated as looped or intermeshed together inorderthat the helix will form a continuous loop. This joint 20 may be concealed within one of the cylindrical parts In the use of this lOIHLOf the invention, a 5" bumper bar 210i an automobile is shown in Figure-4, with twobf the devices applied theretor These devices are shown in relaiba'r 21,the loopsl'? and 18-being drawnrespectively beneath and over the top of the bumper bar 21. The flag stafi 23 is'inserted behindthebumper bar 21 and through the 955 exposed portions of theloops'l'? and 18. The loops 17 and 18 willj'be extended as far as necessary in order to'bridge the bumper bar and receive the fiag'staft23. In this way,
any: size flag staflmay bereceived through the loop, the loop extending or contracting about the same according to the size thereof. The inherent resiliency 1n the coil spring Wlll.
- cause the same to grip the flag staff 23 tightly and to bind the flag staff within the loops is shown with its plate lying in rear of the bumper bar 21 and its 100 s extending forwardly across the bumper iar,-receiving the flag staff, which in this instance lies in front of the bumper bar 21. It is preferred to install the device in this manner to protect the nickel or other finish or trim on the front of the bumper bar 21..
In Figure 5, I illustrate the invention as used in connection with the grouping of various flags. This will be particularly useful for wall decorations. The staffs of the flags 24 and 25 are inserted reversely through the loops 17 and 18. In a similar manner, the staffs of the flags 26 and 27 are inserted in relatively reverse directions beneath the staffs of the flags 24 and 25, and above the plate 15 of the device. c 3 I 1 A fifth flag 28 1s insertel in a similar man- 'ner and it extends parallel withthe flag 26.
It will, of course, be understood that all of the flags 2G, 27 and 28 may extend to one side of the holding device, or they may be grouped in a great many different ways. The holder is thus adapted for supporting one or several flags.
Now referring more particularly to Fig ures 6 and 7, a pm or thumb tack 29 1s car-V ried by the device for the purpose of aflixing it toa wooden support, so as not to damage a wall.
Referring to Figures 8 and 9, the device is shown in connection with a clip 30 adapted to slip over'achandelier or other support. As shown in Figure 9, the clip 30, which is resilient, is provided with a shank 31 adapted to be inserted between the plate 32 and the extended ends 33 thereof, which are carried over from the cylindrical portions 34 to a central point. The clip is frictionally held in place in the holder but it may be forcibly withdraw-n, whereby the device may be utilized without the clip,if desired. 7
Referring more particularly to Figure 10,
- here the'clip is shown as replaced a pin 35 which will enable the device to be attached to a tent wall, tapestry, molding or the like. The pin 35 is carried by the plate.
Now-referring more particularly to Figure 11, the two legs 36 of the coil spring are shown as drawn together within a sheet metal clamping plate 37 of an oval form in cross section, or of a cylindrical form. 39 are, of course, left open.
Iteferring now to Figure 12, the loops 40 and 41 of the coil spring are shown as un'- connected and not bridgedtogether central,
is employed carried by a narrow plate 46 having the rolled over edges 47 which abut together and hold the intermediate portion of thecoil spring in very close parallel relation. The parts 47 are rolled together to grip the pin in place.
v will be understood, of course, that other I forms of attaching devices may be applied to I the plates, and that these plates may be suspended in any desired manner from supports, whereit is desired to display flags, or other insignia.
For instance, it may be desired on occasions to support letters. Such letters will be provided with prongs, and the prongs, like the flag stafi's, will be inserted in the resilient loops of the holding devices. Such letters may be groupedtogether to form initials of organizations holding conventions, or they may be'used for advertising purposes.
It will be obvious that many changes in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts could be made, which could he used without de arting from the spirit of my invention, and do not mean to limit the invention to such details, except as particularly pointed out in the claims.
Having thus described m invention, what I claim and desire to secure y Letters Patent of theUnited States is 1. An improved display holding device, comprising anendless coil spring, a plate having end portions engaging diametrically opposedpartsof the spring, and other portions of the spring extending beyond the edges of the plate to form loops.
2. An improved display holding device, comprising an endless coil spring, a plate having rolled over ends engaging diametrically opposed portions of the spring, and other portions of the spring extending beyond the edges of the plate to form loops, the rolled JOHN T. BLUFF.
