IREDELL HILLIARD, OF GEORGETOVVN, SOUTH CAROLINA.
PAPER-FILE.
Application led July 20, 1912.
To all whom t may concern Be it. known that l, REDELL HILLIARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Georgetown, in county of Georgetown and State of South Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper-Files, of which the following is a speci- Iication.
My invention relates to` an impro-vement in paper files and has to do with that type of file in which a pin is supported and held by a frame upon a desk against the wall or at any convenient point so that letters, bills or other papers may be impaled upon the pin and held in position to be readily accessible.
The objectof this inventio-n is to provide a tile in which a bifurcated keeper is so pivoted to a portion of the frame that the pin comes within the bifurcated portion and the keeper may be swung in a vertical plane either upwardly or downwardly.
A further Objectis in the provision of a pin which may be folded over upon the frame and form -aflat structure which is more readily and 'conveniently packed forv shipment or may be inserted in the pocket to be carried fromv place to place.
This invention consists of certain novel features of construct-ion and combinations of part-s which will be hereinafter more fully described andl pointed out in the claims.
In thev accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a view in perspective of t-he preferred form of my invention; Fig. 2 is a view in side elevation of the form disclosed in F ig. 1: Figs. 3 and 4 are perspective views showing other forms which my invention may take.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, a base or frame A, whichis preferably formed of a single piece of sheet metal, has stamped from the body portion thereof feet 1 and 2 which are bent rearwardly for a short distance and then parallel with the body portion to rest against the wall or surface to which the file is to be attached and the foot- 1 has an opening in which a screw 4 is received for attaching the le to the supporting surface. Near the bottom of the base A and on the forward side thereof, bearings 4', 4 are struck up, and in these bearings the pin 5, which in this instance is shown as being of the hook form, has its sha-nk 6 mounted to have endwise movement. On
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 10,1913.
Serial No. 710,573.
the extreme lower' edge of the base A a strip 'T ofthe metal is left and this strip 7 extends forwardly for a short distance and then parallel with the base,as at S. That portion of the strip 7 which is at right angles to the base, is adapted to support the pin and a slot 9 is formed in the parallel portion in which the pin is received and held against side swinging movement. lVhen it is desired to fold the pin so that it will be flat against the base, t-he shank G is moved upwardly through the bearings 4, which causes the pin to travel out of the slot 9 and it can then be swung to the one side or the other against the base A. On the upper portion of the base A two tongues 10, 10 are bent forwardly, rearwardly and thence downwardly to form annular bearings, and the metal between these bearings is cut away both above and below. A keeper made in the form of a bell crank has arms 11 and `12 and at the point of juncture between the two arms bearing pins 13, 18 are provided which extend parallel with the angle of connection between the two arms. The bearing pins 13 are adapted to be received in the bearings 10 and the keeper swings in the cutl away portion between these bearings. The arm 11 of the keeper is made preferably slightly longer than the distance between the pin 5 and the base A and has its outer end enlarged at 14 and the enlarged portion 14 of the arm 11 of the keeper is bifurcated at 15 for a sutlicient length that the keeper has free pivotal movement in the bearings 10 when the pin is in the bifurcated portion of the keeper. It is intended that the arm 11 of the keeper shall normally be in a horizontal plane or approximately at right angles to the upward extent of the pin 5, and as a means of retaining it in its normal position a spring 1G is connected through an opening 17 in the arm v12 and at 18 to the base or frame A.
ln the form of device shown in Fig. 3, the object and the results to be accomplished are the same as with the structure shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and in this view the base or frame A and the pin 5 are disclosed as formed from a single length of wire and are readily connected together. The keeper has the arms 11 and 12 formed from a single length of wire and is pivoted in bends formed in the base wires A. The keeper in this instance is resiliently retained in a horizontal position by the spring 16.
The form of file disclosed in Fig. l is intended for use on a desk, table or similar article to be placed flat upon the top thereof. ln this structure the base or frame A2 has an arm 20 connected therewith, and extending approximately parallel with the pin 2l which is pivoted and has sliding movement in a bearing 22 struck up from the base A2, and the pin is held in an upright position by being moved into theI slot 23 formed in the strip 24 bent up from the base. The keeper has the arms 112 and 122 and spring 162 as disclosed in Fig. l, and is in position to have the pin received in the bifurcated port-ion 152 on the arm 122.
It will thus be seen that I have provided a le with which the papers may be forced down over the pin moving the arm of the keeper before them and when 'they have passed beyond the path in which the arm swings, it is again returned to its normal position by the spring which is sufficiently strong to prevent the papers from becoming displaced from the pin due to being tanned by the wind or agitated in any other manner, and when it is desired to remove the papers from the tile they are drawn upwardly over the pin, forcing the arm of the keeper aside and are taken oilI from the pin at the point. After the papers to be removed have passed beyond the path o't' the keeper arm, the spring again restores said arm to its normal position.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- 1. A paper tile comprising a frame, a pin connected with the frame upon which the pa )ers are impaled, a keeper, having its end bifurcated, pivotally mounted in such position that the pin comes within the bifurcated portion, the keeper so pivoted to the .trame that it has movement in a vert-ical plan-edownwardly and upwardly from the horizontal, and a spring for resiliently holding the keeper in position approximately at right angles to the pin.
2. A paper iile comprising a frame, a bell crank keeper having' one ot' its arms biturcated7 apivotal connection between the keeper and frame approximately at the angle of juncture between the two arms of the keeper, a pin connected with the frame and extending upwardly into t-he bifurcated portion of the keeper in such a manner that the bifurcated arm has free pivotal movement downwardly and upwardly, and a spring connected to the free arm and to the frame for holding the bifurcated arm of the keeper in position approximately at right angles to the pin.
3. A paper iile comprising a frame, a bearing struck up from the lower portion of the frame, a pin mounted to have sliding and pivotal movement in said bearing, a bent up portion adjacent the bearing having a groove formed therein in which the pin is held when in an operative position and from which it is disengaged by sliding` through the b-e-aring so that it may be swung flat against the frame, and a keeper pivoted near the upper portion of the frame to lie in a normal position approximately at right angles to the pin and to be swung downwardly as the papers are placed upon the pin and upwardly as they are removed.
4. A paper tile comprising a trame, a pin pivotally connected to the frame to be swung flat against the frame for packing, means for holding the pin in its operative position separated trom and approximately parallel with a portion of the frame, a bell crank keeper having one of its arms bifurcated to receive the pin, bearings formed on the upper portion oi the frame, bearing pins formed on the keeper adjacent the angle of juncture between the arms thereof, and received in the bearings, and a spring connected to the free arm of the keeper and with the frame for holding the biturcated arm in a position to retain the papers on the pin.
In testimony whereof ailix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
