' PAPER FILE. I APPLICATION FILLED MAY 24, 1911.

Q/Vi lmeooeo I COLUMBIA PLANOG RAPH cu.,wAsmNu'roN n r JAMES WALTER ALMOND, OF RUCKERSVILLE, VIRGINIA? PAPER-FILE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 14, 1912.
Application filed May 24, 1911. Serial No. 629,213.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES IV. ALMOND, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ruckersville, in the county of Greene and State of Virginia, have invented new and useful Improvements in PaperFiles, of which the following is a specification.
One object of the invention is to provide means for pressing papers, such as receipts and druggists prescriptions, one upon the other thereby preventing crumpling of the same or the formation of wrinkles therein and at the same time eliminating the usual practice of pasting these papers in books or running them onto file wires in order that they may be preserved chronologically.
The above and other objects will appear and be better understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device; Fig. 2 is a detail vertical section; Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view.
In the embodiment shown the lower plate 5 is preferably, though not necessarily, of metal, and it is intended that for ordinary use its area shall be greater than the area of any of the papers to be filed though, of course, this is not absolutely necessary since the size of the device with respect to the papers to be filed is immaterial.
The upper plate 6 may be of metal or other material if desired, and is suitably connected such as by retractile springs 7 to the lower plate 5.
One method of using the device as a pre scription or receiptfile consists in placing the prescriptions or receipts 8 in the order in which they are received one upon the other and between the said plates; in the present instance it will be seen that the lower plate 5 has an opening 9 for the reception of suitable fastening means for securing it to a suitable support, while the upper plate 6 has a knob or handle 10 serving as a finger hold for the operator when it is desired to file a prescription or receipt which is done by lifting the said upper plate upwardly and against action of the springs 7 whereby a space will be provided into which the prescription or receipt may be inserted.
A suitable cushioning device such as a section of packing board 11 is herein shown as secured to the lower plate 5 and serves to hold the said plates in spaced relation even when there are no papers inserted therebetween, so that when the first paper is inserted the upper plate 6 will bear sufficiently hard thereon to prevent accidental displacement thereof.
One convenient method of filing prescriptions is. shown in Fig. 1 wherein the prescriptions are arranged chronologically for several consecutive months, the prescriptions for the first month being arranged transversely of the prescriptions for the second month this arrangement being carried out for the number of months prescriptions that it is desired to place in the file. The file herein shown is adapted to contain the number of prescriptions that an ordinary firm would prepare in twelve months and at the end of that time the file may be detached from its support and stored away in which event it will occupy a minimum of space.
By forming the bot-tom plate so that one dimension thereof will correspond approximately to the length of a prescription, the edges of the latter will be protected, and when the area of the top plate is less than the bottom plate as shown, the prescriptions for any month or any prescription in a given month, may be easily located by raising the marginal portions of the prescriptions extending beyond the top plate, thereby rendering it unnecessary to remove the several prescriptions from between the plates.
Although I have shown and described one form of my device is to be understood that I am not to be limited to the structures shown and described, since various changes may be made within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.
What is claimed as new is:
A paper file comprising a lower plate, an upper plate less in two dimensions than the lower plate, extensible elements connecting said plates, and a cushion arranged on the inner surface of one of said plates.
In testimony whereof I allix my signat-ure in presence of two witnesses.
JAMES l/VALTER ALMOND.
