EDWARD KIRBY BOTTLE, OF ELMIRA, NEW YORK, v.ASSIGNOI-R. TO AMERICAN SALES BOOK COMPANY, LIMITED, OF TORONTO, CANADA, .AY YCORPORATION',OF ONTARIO,
CANADA.
MANIFOLDING SALES-Book Specification of Letters Iatent.
Application led July 23, 1913. Serial No. 780,639.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD K. BOTTLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Elmira, in the county of Chemung and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Manifolding Sales-Books, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to manifolding sales books and the like.
One of the objects of the present invention is to provide an efficient and simple type of sales book which may be operated rapidly without soiling the fingers or duplicate copy from the carbon sheet. t
A further object is to provide a practical and inexpensive sales book having a carbon sheet so constructed as to prevent tearing ofthe sheet. l
A further object is to provide a sales book of the above general character in which features of prior --confstruction's conducive to rapid and convenient'manipulation are so utilized with additional elements'or features that many of them are greatly improved.
Other objects will be in part obvious and in part pointed out hereinafter. l
The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combinations of'elements and arrangement of parts which will loel exemplified in the' construction hereinafter set forth, and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the following claims.
In the accompanying drawing, wherein is shown two of several possible embodiments of my invention, Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the complete device in operative position with the corner ofy one leaf turned back in order that certain features of the invention may be more clearly seen; Fig.v 2 is ya plan view of one corner of the carbon sheet before being bound in the book; and Fig.` 3 is a similar view of a modification. Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic sectional view of the turned under corner of the carbon sheet to represent the coated and clean surfaces thereof.
Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughoutthe 'various views of the drawing.
Referring nowto the ldrawlng in detail,
and more particularly to Fig. 1, there is denoted at l a rear cover or support to which the leaves constituting a pador sales book are attached, a top cover 2 is flexibly conratentea oet. 191, 1915.-
nected therewith by means of a hinge 3 whereby the device may be folded. The pad comprises a plurality of sets of original and duplicate leaves of the paragon type, that is, each set comprises an original leaf 4 and a duplicate leaf 5 connected together at one end along a perforated fold 6 whereby they may be subsequently separated and disposed of as desired. The opposite end of the duplicate leaf 5 projects beyond the adjacent end of the original leaf 4, permitting it to -.be bound by means of staples 7 into pad form. A weakening line or row of perforations 8 permits the leaf to be detached from the stub portion bound by the staples.
Bound with and above the sets of leaves is a single faced carbon sheet 10 which is adapted to be interposed between the original and duplicate leaves 4 and 5, respectively, as the sets are successively used. This carbon sheet is folded under to form a thumb `notch at the upper right hand corner along Vper right hand corner 13 of the next original leaf 4 more readily after the top set of leaves has received its inscriptions and has been removed from the pad along the dotted line 8. By grasping the corner 13 of the next original leaf 4 with the thumb and finger of the right hand it may be pulled out or toward the operator and then laid over the carbon sheet 10 whereby the salesbook is ready to receive further inscriptions. In doing this there is a tendency for the index finger to slip over the corner and under the carbon'sheet and to curl or fray the edge of the notch in the carbon sheetv and also the linger might become' soiled by engagement with the under coated surface thereof.l This is particularly objectionable to clerks in dry goods stores who handle light and delicate fabrics. In reaching for the thumb notch a careless operator will sometimes scrape his thumb along the carbon sheet adjacent the notch which will reproduce a smudge on the duplicate leaf therebeneath. This objection is overcome by the present invention as the manifolding medium at that point is not in contact with the paper 4as will be obvious from Fig. 4. It `will thus be seen that this turned under portion not only reinforces the carbon sheet lwhere it receives the most Vwear, but also prevents the soiling of the creased.
In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the
l carbon sheet-is first cut inwardly diagonally from the side along the linev 15 and then folded back on the vertical dotted line -16 to occupy the position shown in dotted lines 17. This modification accomplishes substan tially the same results in the way of reinforcing the carbon sheet at the point of manipulation and also protects the finger of the operator. Similar results may be obtained in both modifications by removing or failing to apply the carbonizing medium at that corner of the sheet when making the book.
It is believed that the operation and Inanner of use of sales books of this character Will be clear to those familiar with the art from the above description. A4 brief statement thereof is, however, as follows: Asl suming the book to be in the position shown in Fig. 1, the inscription is recorded upon the upper surface ofthe original sheet 4 and reproduced through the carbon sheet 1U on the upper surface of thecoacting duplicate leaf 5. The sheet 4 is then turned down, and both the original and duplicate leaves are severed along the line 8 and-disposed of as desired. The operator then grasps the upper corner 13 of the next original leaf 4 and pulls'the same downward from under the carbon sheet 10 and then mov'es it backward thereover until the book is' again in normal operative position as shown. The fingers of the operator are fully protected by the turned under edge, and any tendency to tear the carbon along a line parallel and adjacent to the dotted line 8, or to roughen or curl the edges along the diagonal line, will be eliminated.
It is thus seen that this invention provides a simple and practical sales book adapted to accomplish, among others, all of the objects and advantages set forth. j
As many changes could be made in the above construction and many apparently widely different embodiments vof this invention could be made Without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a manifolding sales book, in combination, a pad, and a single face carbon sheet having a portion of one edge turned under to form an irregularity for use as a thumb notch.

3. In a manifolding sales book, in combination, a carbon sheet, and a pad composed of original and duplicate leaves, the duplicate leaves being connected or bound together at one end and the carbon sheet bound with the connected ends ol" the duplicate leaves, the carbon sheet having a rein` forced portion at one corner adjacent its bound edge.
4. In a manifolding sales book, in combination, a carbon sheet, and a pad composed of original and duplicate leaves, the duplicate leaves being connected or bound together at one end, and the carbon sheet bound with the connected ends of the du plicate leaves, the carbon sheet ha ving a portion thereof cut and turned under to provide a reinforcement therefor.

6. In a manifolding sales book, in combination, a pad comprising a plurality of sets of original and duplicate leaves bound together at one edge, the original leaf being connected to the duplicate leaf at another edge and folded back thereover, its opposite free edge terminating short of the bound edge, .and a carbon sheet bound with said sets of leaves and having one of its edges cut and turned under to form a reinforcement adjacent the point of manipulation.

In testimony whereof I ailiX my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
