riLine DnvIcE.
To all whom it may concern I Be it known that I, ROY II. IRWIN, a citi- ,zen of the United States, and a resident of Stanfield, county of Ilmatilla, State of Oregon, have invented a new andImproved Filing Device, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. 7
My invention relates to a filing element which may be embodied in the form of a drawer, or a like portable structure, a plurality of the drawers being fitted in a cabinet, in practice.
The prime object of my invention-is to provide a drawer or the like which is arranged to contain papers in bulk, while an auxiliary'compartment beneath the main holder is adapted to receive a single paper, means being provided whereby the front end of the single paper will be positioned to display indicia thereon at the front of the filing element. r
The main holder may contain legal forms, one of such forms being received in the mix iliary compartment with the caption or heading visible at the front of thefiling element, thus indicating the character of the filing papers without opening the drawer.
In the case of correspondence files the auxiliary compartment will receive the last communication, in a manner that the name of the partyaddressed and the date of the letter will be visible at the front, the ob ject being to show the date of the last com-- inunication, without opening the drawer,
and display it as an index to the name of the correspondent- The device may be en1- ployed also for the filing of charge slips, credit memorandum,'and as an new bookkeeping, the charge slips or the like. being filed as follows, to wit: VVl1en the slip is received it" is at once filed in the. auxiliary compartment with the name and file number visible, as well as the amount of the purchase, and the account to date, if so desired. When an additional slip is to be filed the first slip or memorandum will be re moved from the auxiliary compartment and placed in the main container, usuallyin the form of a tray, and so on in succession as the slips or the like are received. The result will be that the slips will be kept in the proper chonological order, and may be selfindexing. The invention also has for its object to improve filing devices in various particulars whereby to promote convenience in the,

use of the device, as well as providing a' simple and durable structure.
The invention will be particularly explained in the specific description following. Reference is had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views, and in which:
Figure l is a perspective view showing a portion of the cabinet with my improved filing elements, one of the latter being shown partly open and the other closed.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section of one of the elements, and Fig, 3 is a perspective view of the stop device in the auxiliary compartment to properly position a paper in the latter.
Referring to the illustrated construction, the body 10 of my filing element is preferably in the form of a sliding drawer, any convenient number of which may be assem- -bled in. a cabinet 11', of approved design.
end, as at 17 to the transverse back 10 of the drawer body. The tray 16 is made with an open front, and the sides thereof terminate short of the front end of the drawer 10 to conform to the rabbeted ends 15 on the front 12. The bottom 18 of the tray 16 is spaced above the bottom of the drawer 10 to provide an intermediate auxiliary compartment 19, which is designed to receive a sinple paper B, while the bulk of the papers A are accommodated in the tray 16 above.
iliary compartment 19 terminates short of the rear end of the tray 16. i In the example shown I have provided a stop 20 on the bottom of the drawer 10 against which the rear end of the paper B will contact to limit the rearward movement of said paper. The said stop as shown best in Fig. 3, may be formed of sheet metal bent to provide a bottom and three sides, there being holes 21 to receive screws or The available or effective space in the aux- 1 equivalent fasteners to secure the stop to the proper position on the drawer 10.
The hinged front 12 is provided with a transparent portion 21 which may consist of glass, andat the back of the said front 12, or within thesame between the front and the forward end of the tray 16, a space 22 is provided which is complementary to the auxiliary compartment 19 and forms an upwardextension of the latter infront of the tray 16. The arrangement is such that a paperB placed in the compartment 19 will lie with its rear end against the stopQG, While the forward end, as clearlyshown in Figs. 1 and 2, will project beyond the tray 16. When now the front 12 is swung upwardly, the front end of the paper 13 will extend upwardly at the interior of the transparent portion 21, so that any indicia on said paper, such as the words Memorandum of payments, file No. 9 will serve to indi- 'cate the nature of the paper.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. An individual filingelement comprising a body, and a holder in the body pre-v senting the majorcontaining-space'of the .filing element and adapted to contain a quantity of papers, there being an auxiliary paper receiving compartment'beneath the holder, between the same and the bottom of the body and extending'to the front of'the said holder, the front of the body and the v holder to form an auxiliary paper receiving '7 compartment, said compartment being of less length than the COIltLlIllIlfiSPtICG of the -holder*and there being a space in front of the holder complementary to the said com partment.
