ments, are especially useful in stores, res

taurants and other places where sales-tags, checks and other like records and evidences of business are extensively used. In places like these, especially in stores where the record-tags of-adarge number-of transactions must be temporarily filed, it is of importance that an orderly system be preserved, to enable one to conveniently and accurately inspect the tags while on the file, and to remove them in a compact, evenly air ranged and symmetrical pile for subsequent more complete inspection, posting, checking or whatever other manipulation may be required. But this result cannot be attained if no means are provided to compel the uniform impaling of the tags or to keep them uniform while on the file; in other words, to keep them from swinging upon the impaling pin.

It is the object of my invention to secure .this result by the provision, in connection with the file, of a simple and effective and to this end my invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of the ofi'ice paper-file which I shall now fully de- 40 scribe by reference to the accompanying drawings in which w y Figure 1 is a perspective view of my file. Fig. 2 is a view of the guard. Fig. 3 is a sectional front view of. the file.

'1 is'the base of the file. In the top of the base is formed a'groove 2, over which lies a ,cover plate 3, in which is provided a threaded hole for the reception of the threaded lower end of the impalin pin 4. 50' 5 is the ard. This consists o a bent plate forme with a shank 6 in which are a number or series of holes 7. The to of the guard 5 is best bent backward as s own at 8 in order to better avoid interference witii pm The shank 6 of the guard 5 is slidably fitted ard,

I into the groove 2 of the base 1, under the I pover plate 3. The lower end of the impaling pin 4 is screwed down through the cover plate and enters and engages that one of the holes 7 in the shank of the guard which may be in register below. Thus the ard 5 which extends upwardly parallel wit and removed from the pin 4 is securely held. To provide for adifi'erent size of tags the guard 5 is adapted to be adjustedcloser to.

or farther from the impaling pin 5, by causing the engagement of the pin with the proper hole 7 in the shank of the guard.

The file as thus described is simple in its' construction and arrangement and is attractiveln appearance. The several-parts are well united by', the impaling-pin connection,

and-the guard is capable of easy adjustment or of removal if deemed best. This ard induces the user of the file to impale the,

tags uniformly and it holdsthem thus after they are impaled, so that-they will not swing around from side toside. The contents of the file may thus be conveniently examined,

and may also be removed in a uniform pile, capable of easy manipulation.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- 1. A paper-file consisting of a base, an impaling-pin removably connected with the base, and a guard spaced from the impaling pin and secured to the base by the impalingpin connection.

2. A paper-file consisting of a base, an impaling-pin removably connected with the base, and a guard spaced from the impaling pinand formed with a shank secured to the base by the impaling-pin connection.

3. A paper-file consisting of a base, an impaling-pin having a threaded lower end adapted to be screwed into'said base, and a guard spaced from the impaling-pin and formed with a shank secured to the base by the screw. connection of the lower end of the impaling-pin with said base.

4:; A paper-file consistin of a base, a

ard havinga shank slida ly fitted to the ass, and an impaling-pin removably con nected with the base and adjustably engaging the shank of the guard.

5. A paper-file consisting of a base h'av'- a shank, said s ank fitting in the groove of the base under the cover plate and an impaling-pin fitted to the cover plate and engaging the underlying shank of the guard.

6, A paper-file consisting of a base having agroove in its top and a cover plate over- 5 lying said groove; a guard formed with a. shank, said shank being slidably fitted in the groove of the base under the cover plate, and having in it a series of holes; and an impaling pin having its lower end screwed 10 through the cover plate and engaging any of the holes in the guard shank whereby said guard is adjustably'connected.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
