  • Patent number: 4418913
    Abstract: The rack permits a single player to play a large number of bingo cards in every game, and without preempting more than his fair share of table space. The rack has a multiplicity of long horizontal rods extending from the player's left to right and supported by a pair of end frames, for instance 4 or 5 such rods, parallel to each other. The rod nearest the player is closest to the table, and is spaced above it a little more than the thickness of two bingo cards. This same spacing is used between rods, i.e., a staircase spacing with the same spacing of the second rod both above and behind the first rod, etc. The bingo cards are mounted in back-to-back pairs in special clips mounted on the rods and pivotal between a vertical position and a horizontal position, reading one card of a pair in each position. Each clip has portions defining a pocket which has an open top and one open side, so that a marginal portion of the pair of bingo cards is received in the pocket.
