LESTER S. RILEY, or BOSTON, MAssAcHUsnTTs, Assrenonbr ONE-HALF To ATWOOD L. roses, on BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
BILL OB. LETTER FILE.
Patented Mar. 2, 1915.
Application filed August 29, 1913, Serial No. 787,341. Renewed July 20, 1914. Serial No. 852,089.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, LESTER S. RILEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boston, Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bill or Letter Files, of which the following is a specification. V
This invention is designed to provide a very simple but elfective device "for taking care of bills or letters, being an improvement over the ordinary bill file which usually consists of a base and upwardly projecting spindle havinga tapering point upon which the bills or other sheetsare impaled. In the ordinary file the papers are easily displaced, or if protectedfrom displacement.
it is difficult to keep them in proper order as they are removed from the file, and my invention is designed to prevent dis placement of the papers on the fileand at the'same time readily provide their removal in the order in Which'they have been placed in the file, and to permit of their storage without changing the order in which they were placed upon the file.
In the drawing, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device in position to receive the bill, letter or other paper. Fig. 2 shows the device with the parts in the position to papers, and
prevent displacement of the Fig. 3 shows a section.
I may utilize an ordinary base A of'suflicient weight to keep the spindle B upright, and .over this spindle I place a sheath 0, this being split at its lower end as shown at D to give a spring effect and make a comparative tight fit. The sheath" is bifurcated at its upper end, shown at b andpivoted within this bifurcation is an impaling point cl preferably of the shape shown, narrow at the center where the. pivot passes so as to be about equal with the diameter of the sheath with protruding portions on each side ofthe center as at e, terminating in points 7. The impaling plate at is freely pivoted and may assume a vertical or horizontalposition, as shown. In its vertical position the papers may be impaled and pass over it to the sheath, and when it is desired to retain the practice I have found that the construction I shown permits the filing of papers on the spindle without ripping the paper or making a ragged hole. I make perforations c at the lower end of the sheath in which I insert a string, and when it is desired to remove the accumulation from the file the sheath may be drawn'through the letters or bills carrying with it the string, so asto thread the bills upon the string and the ends of the string may then be tied to secure the papers'safely in the relation in which they were filed, the papers being withdrawn from the spindle and filed away.
What I claim is 1. A safetybill or letter file comprisingv a base, a spindle, a removable sheath having a pivoted impaling point carried at its upper end and adapted to assume a vertical or horizontal position as required, substantially as described.
2. In combination in a base, a spindle, a sheath, animpaling point pivoted thereto having double ends of uniform shape and adapted to assume either a vertical or a horizontal position, substantially as described.
3. In combination with a base, a spindle, a sheath having an impaling point with means for locking the impaling point in a vertical position, substantially as described.
4. In combination with a base, a spindle, a sheath removable from Said spindle having an impaling point and a threading eye at the lower end of the said sheath, substan Copies of this patent may be obtained for flve cents each, by addressing the commissioner. of Patents,
Washington, D. 0.
