Application filed December 26, 1912.
Specification of Letters Patent.
T0 at whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE C. Pnnsons, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Leaves for Filing Systems, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.
My invention is concerned with a novel filing leaf which is adapted to receive slips, cards, letters, etc., of different sizes, and which may be bound up with a plurality of such leaves to form a scrap book, or which may, in addition, be used as a holder, or which may be attached to a folded stiff sheet to form a still more elaborate holder.
To illustrate my invention I annex hereto three sheets of drawings in which the same reference characters are used to designate identical parts in all of the figures, of which Figure l is a perspective view of a filing leaf embodying my invention which is adapted to be bound up as one of a number of leaves of a scrap book; Fig. 2 is a vertical section on the line A-A of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line BB of Fig. 1; Fig. l is a perspective view of a leaf embodying my invention designed also to be used as a holder; Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a leaf similar to that shown in Fig. 4, but with a folded sheet attached thereto to form a still more elaborate holder than that shown in Fig. f; Fig. 6 is a view as it would be on line CC, if the leaf and sheep were folded up tightly. Figs. 7 and 8 are perspective views of two other somewhat similar modifications; and Fig. 9 is a vertical section on the line DD of Fig. 8.
The basis of my improved filing leaf is two sheets a and Z; of suitable material, preferably Manila paper, and these sheets may be conveniently constructed of exactly the same size, as shown in Fig. 1, in which case, the sheet a will be folded at 0, one fold containing, say, four-fifths of the sheet and the other fold containing one-fifth of the sheet. The sheet Z) will be folded at d, and the fold is arranged so that one fold will contain three-fifths of the sheet and the other fold two-fifths. The sheet I) is then fitted inside of the sheet a, and both sheets thus fitted together are folded transversely across the other folds at the center, producing the arrangement shown in Fig. 1. If the sheet is to be bound up with others in a scrap book, the bottom edge is preferably secured in any suitable manner, as by an eye-- let 6, and the unfolded adjacent edges are secured by the eyelets f, through which the posts of a loose leaf holder may be passed or through which the cords of some other form of a binding may be passed as desired. It will be noted that with this construction I have on each side of the sheet 3 pockets of different depths which may be conveniently employed to hold papers of different sizes. If it is desired to divide each side up into, say, six pockets, additional eyelets or other fastening means may be inserted along the desired lines of division.
In Fig. 4, I have shown a leaf formed in exactly the same manner up to the point of securing it with the eyelets, but in this case, the eyelets f are passed through only one edge of the two sheets, while similar eyelets f may be passed through the other edges producing the three pockets on the outer surfaces and leaving an inner fold in which other papers may be placed.
In Fig. 5, I have shown a similar arrangement, but with the leaves a and b folded horizontally somewhat differently so as to produce two pockets on each face instead of three. The eyelets f are located as in Fig. i, but I pass the eyelets 7' through a stiff sheet of paper or cardboard g, which is folded at h, and with this folded sheet attached, I form a holder that has greater rigidity than the unsupported leaf shown in Figs. 1 and f, and which may have any articles desired filed. in the pockets, and still other papers placed between the face of the sheet g and the unpocketed opposed face of the main sheet, if the latter is folded inside of the sheet 9', as indicated in Figs. 5 and 6. It will, of course, be understood that I might fold the portion of the sheet 9 that is shown horizontal in Fig. 5 directly against the portion that is shown vertical, bringing all the pockets on the outside of the combined holder. This sheet 9 may be provided with the tab j which may be suitably lettered for filing purposes, if desired, the tabs of course having different lengths so that the various letters on different holders will be visible, as is customary where such tabs are used.
In Fig. 7 I have shown a structure somewhat similar to that shown in Fig. f, except that instead of a single vertical fold, I employ two vertical folds at 74 and 7c, and in stead of securing the edges by the fasteners f, f I preferably bind them by strips F. The resulting leaf forms three long pockets on one side and siX shorter pockets on the other side, with a possibility of placing papers inside of the leaf.
In Figs. 8 and 9, I show. the preferred form of the leaves when they are not used for binding in books. This construction, which is a modification of that shown in Fig. 7, is just the same as Fig. 7 except that the sheet a has its fold so placed relative to the sheet 6 that but two pockets are formed on each of the exposed outer faces while a single internal pocket is formed on the opposed inner faces thus enabling me to more securely file papers on the interior of the device than is possible in the form shown in Fig. 7
lVhat I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
l. A filing leaf made of wo superimposed sheets folded on different lines as shown, and secured at the edges thereby forming sets of pockets of different depths, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. A filing leaf made of two superimposed sheets folded at least once in one direction on the same line, and in the other direction on different lines, as shown, and secured at the edges, thereby forming two or more sets of pockets of different depths, substantially as and for the purpose described.
3. A. file holder consisting of a filing leaf made of two superimposed sheets folded at least once in one direction on the same line and in the other direction on different lines, as shown, and secured at the edges thereby forming two or more sets of pockets of different depths, together wit-h a stiff folded sheet secured to the inner side of one of the edges of the filing leaf with the fold of the stiff sheet at right angles to the fold of the leaf sheets that is on the same line, substantially as and for the purpose described.
4. A filing device made of two superimposed sheets folded on the same line twice in one direction, and folded once in the other direction on different lines, as shown, and secured at the ed 'es, thereby forming sets of pockets of different depths, substantially as and for the purpose described.
5. A filing device made of two superimposed sheets folded on the same line twice in one direction, and folded once in the other direction on different lines, as shown, and secured at the edges, thereby forming sets of pockets of different depths, substantially as and for the purpose described, the folds in the sheets being arranged so that one pocket is formed on one side and two pockets on the other side.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal, this 24th day of December, A. D. 1912.
