To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HOWARD A. STANLEY,
a subject of the King of Great Britain, re- ,siding at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented cer tain new and useful Improvements in Loose-Leaf Bindersgandl do herebyde-V clarc the-following to be a full,-clear, and
j. exact description of the invention, suchas will enable others skilledin theart to which it app'ertains to -make and use the same,
reference being had "to "the accompanying drawings, and to characters of reference marked thereon, WlfllGllfOlIll apart of this specification. i
T1118 invention relates, generally, to 1m- -provements in loose-leaf binders, and, the
' leather or other fabric employed in produc-;
present invention has reference, moreipargwticularly, to a novel and simply constructed 20 means in theform of a heel-piece for considerably strengthening the ends ofthe back of the covers ofthe binder, with a view of providing large and heavy loose-leaf e 1, binders with reinforced ends, and such other means, which willprevent the end-portion of the binder from becoming damaged,
when taken .from the shelf and dropped uponitsend upon the flat surface of a desk 5 r orv table.
The invention for its further' 'object to strengthen or reinforce the end-p'ortions of the back of the cover. of the binder in suclra .manner, sothat with constant use, thesmetal portions of the'loose-leaf binder will not wear away and work through the ingnthezba ck ofthe-cover of the binder, and thus completely obviating all danger of mar-ring :or scratching thepolished surface of the desk or table. l I Z Other objects of this invention not at this time more particularly enumerated will be clearly understood from the following detaileddescription of the present invention.
vlVith the various objects of the present invention in view, the said invention con-'. sists, prlmarlly, n the novel loose-leaf.
binder hereinafter set forth; andthe' inven- :tion: consists, furthermore, in thefnovel arrangements and combmations of the various devlces and parts, aswellras 1nthedeta11s ofthe construction of the same, all'of which I will bemore fully described in the follow- 1 ing specification, and then .finally embodied S pecificatimi'of Letters Patent. Patented Sept, 1, 1914. I Application mearbruar @1913. Serial No. 746,480.
i the clauses oftheclaim which is apgpended to and which forms an essential Epart of this specification. I
Theinvention is clearly illustrated in the gaccompanying drawings, in which 'Figureil is a side View of a loose-leaf binder made according to and 'embodylng I the principles of the present invention; and
Fig. 2 is a back endview of the same. Fig 3 is a detailed plan view' of a portion of the loose-leaf binder, showing the members of thefcover in their opened relation, and'the parts ofthe metal loose-leaf holder being shown "in their separated relation; and-Fig;
j4c isa detailfverti'cal' section, taken on line I in said Fig. 3. 4 Fig.5 is a back-end iview of a modified .form of the loose-leaf Ebinder, still embodying the principles of the present invention;- and FigxG. is a detail .1
.binder made according to and embodying the principles of the present invention, the- ;same comprising the usual covers 2 which are connected by the back 3. I Suitably connected in a hinge-likemans5 gn'er, as at 4 and/5, by means of the usual gfl'exible fabric- members 6 and 7 which are lsuitablysecured to and connected with the respective covers Zare .a pair of segmental metal sections or elements 8 and.9, the said sections or ele1nents'8 and 9 being provided iwith tubular earsy'aswlO, in which is 'ar-- lrangeda pintle-rod :11, as shown Fig;; 3, for connecting thesaid segmental metal secitions or elements 8 and 9. in a hinge-like '95 I manner. One of the said sections. or,eler I ments,'as 8, is provided with hinged tubular and internally screw-threaded pins, as 12,.
the other section-orelement 9 being proivided with correspondingly located eyelets,
?as 13, which are secured to said section and:
falso extend through the back .3 and are isecured. thereto',xas. will be clearly underistood. from an inspection of Figs. 1; and 2- To receive the loose leaves, the partsof the loose-leaf binder are .of the I drawings.
brought into the relative positions reprelsented in Fig. 3 of thedrawings, so as to,
permit the perforated edge-portions .of the loose leaves to be arranged upon the tubular pins 12. Screws 1st are then inserted from the outside into and through the eyelets 13, the screw-threaded shanks of the screws 14 being screwed into the internally. screw threaded socket-like portions of the pins '12, whereby the loose-leaf binder, with the leaves thus mounted between the coversections 2 can be handled in the manner of a book.
As shown in Figs. 3 and 1 of the draw-- ings, the end-portions of thehmetal sections or members 8 and 9 are flanged, as at15, said flanges providing suitable stops for the urposes to be. presentlymore fully stated. he usual outer covering or facing of the coversections 2 and the back 3' is indicated by the reference-character 16, said covering or facing being made'of leather, buckram, or other suitable fabric, and having its marginal edgeportions 17 extending around the marginal edge portions of the cover-sections 2 and the backa3, and suitably secured upon the inner surface-portions of the said cover-sections 2 and the back 8.. If desired a strengthen ing strip 18 of leather or other suitable material, may be secured upon said outer facing 16, at the back of the loosedeaf binder,
as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 ofthedrawings,
the said strengthening strip 18 being suitably secured in'place by stitching,- as at 19,
7 see Fig. 2, and having itsyend-portions 20 extending around the edge-portions of the facing 16, Where-said end-portions extend around the marginal edge-portions of the back 3, the said'end-portions 20 of. the strip 18 being suitably secured upon said bentaround and inwardly, eXtendingfedge-pon tions of the facing 16, inthe manner indicated in Fig. 4 of the drawings. I The pr'eviously-mentioned heel-pieces of which thereare two, one at thelower and one on the upper edge-portion of the back 3 are indicated by the referencercharacter 21.
I Each heel-piece, which.v extends laterally acrosstheinner; surfaceof the back?) is suitably secured .in' paste, and the stitching 22 which is passed through the several parts, substantially as indicated in the seve al'gfigures of the draw- 'ings. .The said heel-pieces 21 are usually made of pieces of heavy sole-leather, or other suitable material, having resiliency and shock-resisting qualities, the marginal edgeportions .23 of the respective heel-pieces bearing directly against the previously mentioned flanges 15 of the said; metal sections or members S and 9, while the opposite marginal edge-portions 24' extend beyond the said lowerand upper edge-portions of the back 3 and the parts which are bent around said edge-portions, the said edge port-ions 24 being preferably of a convex curvature, substantially as shown. I
lace by i'means of glue or.
In the construction represented in said Figs. 5 and '6 of the drawings, the strengthening strip 18 extends at its ends to the portions 17 of covering or facing 16, the heelpiece 21, as" will. be seen from said Fig. 6, being stitched, as at 25, to a leather or other suitable member or piece 26, having flexibility, which is turned around the portion 17 of the covering. or facing 16, as at 27, extending over the facing 16 and over the end-portion of the strip, in the form of a greinforcing cover-portion 28, which is secured tothe several parts, asthe strip 18, the covering or facing 16, and the back 3, by
the stitching 29, whereby the end-portions.
Eof the back of the loose-leaf cover are doubly strengthened. i r r Of course it will be understood, that some 'changesmay" be made in the general arrangements and combinations of the vari ous devices and parts, without departing @from thescope ofthe present invention as set forth in the foregoing specification, and
as defined in the clauses of the claim which is appended to the said specification. Hence, 1 do not limit my present invention to the {exact arrangements and combinations of the devices-andparts as described in the said specification, norvdo I confinev myself to the {exact details of the construction of the said parts, as illustrated in the accompanying Zdrawings.
