Specification of Letters Patent. I
Patented Oct. 13, 1914.
Application filed June 7, 1913. Serial No. 772,353
To all IO/Z0772 it may concern Be it known that I, FREDERICK C. AVERY, a citizen of the United States, residing at 6412 Greenwood avenue, Chicago, in the county of Cook, State of Illinois,,have invented a new and useful Envelop-File, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in an envelop file for filing envelops containing a miscellaneous collection of matter relating to a variety of subjects; the object of which is to provide a suitable filing case, with index separating cards, which is adapted to receive plurality of detached filing envelops; these filing envelops to be filed under an index covering the subject matter in each individual filing envelop and at the same time the filing envelop may be closed and locked in place, and also a filing envelo that may be repeatedly forced between the index separating cards or its adjoining envelops, without injury to itself, its adjoining envelop, or a disarrangement of its inclosed contents and also without forcing open the envelop, and yet the filing envelop may be opened to examine the contents and closed again as desired.
Referring to the accompanying drawing which illustrates these improvements, F igure 1 shows the filing case with filing .envelops and index separating cards in filing order; but only a part of the alphabet is shown. Fig. 2, is a back view of the filing envelop showing the method of fastening the folder portion in place. Fig. 3 is a front view of the filing envelop which shows the index, the number, and the recording spaces. Fig. is the index separating card. Fig. 5. is a perspective .view of the wire support for holding the index cards and the filing envelops in place.
It will be noticed by referring to Fig. 1. that the index separating cards 3. and the filing envelop 2. are held in an'upright position by the support 4. which is of wire construction. Two holes are bored in the filing case 1. as indicated by 10. 10. to receive the pivot portions of the wire support 11. 11. this arrangement holds the support 4. in position and allows it to hold the separating cards 3. and the filing envelops 2. in position as stated.
In Fig. 2. the back view of a filing envelop 2. is shown, on which is located the folding portion 6. a curved slit 9. with the ends of said slit terminating in two circular perforations 7. 7. and forming a lip portion 8.
The lower end of the folding portion 6. is
lines, and-thereby holding the folding p0r-- ton 6. in place when the filing envelop 2. is
closed, and in such a way that this filing en-- velop may be forced between the index cards 3. 3. or its adjoining filing envelop, without injury to itself, its adjoining envelop or its inclosed contents, and yet this filing envelop 2. may be opened and closed at will, and when it is closed the folder portion 6. is locked in place. The ends of the slit 9. terminate. in the circular. perforations 7 7. which allows the lip portion 8. to bend back and forth without the liability of tearing at the ends of said slit when the folder portion 6. is inserted or withdrawn. If there were no circular perforations 7. 7. at the ends of the slit 9. a continued use of the folder portion 6. and the lip portion 8. would soon fracture the slit 9. at the extreme ends, which would result in a tear and permanently injure the filing envelop 2.
Fig. 3 shows the front portion of the filing envelop 2. which shows indicated spaces for the reference index, the order number, and the record of the subject matter. The index character shown on the index card 3. covering the subject matter in the filing envelop 2. should be placed on the face of the filing envelop 2. after the Word Index Fig. 3. and the number of the filing envelop 2. should be placed after her Fig. 3. when a single character on an index card 3. covers a number of subjects not relating to each other, then the name of these different subjects should be placed in order after the word Record Fig. 3. A number of filing envelops may be covered by the same index card, new filing envelops may be added at any time and old ones may be removed permanently and yetthe record is complete. The index cards may be arranged in a numerical, calendar .or geographical order with the same system of arrangement. i
This system covers a simple method of filing a miscellaneous and complex variety of subjects that are often difiicult to keep track of, and are many times without a suit-- able place where they can be found when wanted; such as clippings, receipts, samples, cards, stamps and the like. It is also useful in' compiling subject matter, and collecting useful information relating to the arts.
Having described my invention, what ll claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In an envelop file, a filing case, a plurality of indexed separating cards, a plurality of filing envelops said filing envelops having the word Index with an indicated space thereafter for the entry of the index character of the separating card to which the filing envelop may be assigned and the word Record with indicated spaces thereafter for a memorandum of the filing matter in the particular envelop.
2. In an envelop file, a filing case, a plurality of indexed separating cards, a plurality of filing envelops said filing envelops having the word Index with an indicated space thereafter for the entry of the index character of the separating card to which the filing envelop may be assigned and the word Number with an indicated space thereafter for the entry of consecutive numbers following a single index character of the separating card to which the filing of several filing envelops may be assigned and also having the word Record with indicated spaces thereafter for a memorandum of the filing matter in the particular envelop. I
Intestimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
