J. 0. DAWSON. LOOSE LEAF BINDER. APPLICATION FILED MAY17, 1912.
Patented Feb. 18, 1913.
UNITED STATES ParENT OFFICE.
"" JAMES C. DAWSON. OF WEBSTER GROVES, MISSOURI.
LOOSE-LEAF BINDER.
Application filed May 17 State of Missouri. have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Loose-Leaf; is at Binders. of which the following specification. and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. forming a part thereof.
The invention relates to that type of loose l af binders in which mating prongs are spring-closed. the spring action tending to deflect downwardly or beyond a center line the supports of the prongs.
The object of the present invention is to simplify the construction of binders of this type, the spring action being provided in the prong supporting element's themselves. E
The invention in its broader aspects may be embodied in structures specifically diftering.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a detail plan view of the binder when open; Fig. '2 is a similar view. a portion of the cover plate being removed; Fig. 3 is a view in perspective of one of the spring bars and the prongs carried thereby: Fig. 4 is a detail section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1. the prongs being open; and Fig. 5 is a similar view, the prongs being closed.
The binder comprises the usual side plates 15. 16. united by a limp hinge .er back portion 17. \Vithin the baek'll' there is secured a metal plate 49. transversely concave.
The sheet-holding prongs 3t 37, and 38, 39, are integral with the bars 40. 41, respectively, and as shown are formed of wire. One of these elements is shown in detail in Fig. 10. detached from the binder. Its in tern'iediate portion 42, constituting the spring bar proper, is outwardly bowed. At the ends of the bowed portion it is bent inwardly to form heels 13. 44. for engaging similar heels formed on the companion piece, the heels of one of these elements being grooved and those of the other element being brought to an edge to enter the groove. as shown at 45. The ends of the wire are bent. backwardly from the heel portion and then curved upwardly to form the prongs. In this construction as illustrated the spring Specification of Letters Patent.

" bars are clamped between the do\\'n\\'ardl Be it known that 1. James C. l).\wsox. a citizen of the United States. and resident of \Vebster Groves. county of St. Louis. and
l'olded edges of a cover plate Hi. such edges serving as stops to prevent the outward movement of the bars. the width of this plate being equal to the combined length of the interengaged heels when the latter are in line. and hence when the heels are in this position the spring bars are straight. The prongs are made of such length that when the heel portions are in line their outer ends are partially separated. The elasticity of the spring bars tends to throw the heels either downwardly or upwardly. thus either closing or opening the prongs with a spring -1' ressure. The ends 01' the plate to are flattened and apertured. as shown at 47. to receive lugs 48 struelt up from a back plate 411 bound in to the back 17 ot the cover.
The details of construction may be variouslv moditied without departing from the scope of the invention. and I do not, therefore. ('lesire to be limited to the particular "forms shown and described.
I claim as my invention 1. In a loose leaf binder. in combination. a back plate. a pair of rocking resilient bars normally tending to bow outward mounted on the plate. the ends of the bars reacting against each other. stops on the plate preventing the outward movement of the bows of the bars. and mating prongs carried at each end of the bars.
