v.In the drawings, similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views, and the sectional views are taken looking in the direction ofthe little arrows at the ends of the section lines.

Referring to the drawing/the covers I and 2 of the structure illnstrated inYFigs. LIX inclusive, are formed with chambers to receive the adjusting mechanism of the binder. The clamping "members 3 are pivf otally mountedlon theinner sides of the l covers,lthe covers being provided with arm- .like hinge members ,4 which pr0 ec t"1nto slots 5 in the binding members to receive the pivots 6. The binding strips or binding members 7:are arranged through fth clamping members and extend into; the earers. The arrangement of theseip'art's is sub- *"stantially that shown in jthe' ,p tent' to" :Bnshong. N0.-'85l,276, April123', 1907. '1

strips or binding members 7 and with. holes lfii'adapted to receive the binding posts 16.

i The notches 1'4 are open so that the sheets may be slipped over or lifted from the'bind- I mg strips or members 7 The holes are ends of the posts or freed To "remo a videthe'cl ping members with sockets 17' in their in or faces adapted to receive 'the ends of theposts, as clearly shown ins Fig. III. When theposts are inserted through the sheets andengaged; with th clamping members and the; clamping menioers drawn up by means of the adjustment of'the bind ing members theshe'ets are securely retained...

whemi howeverfthe clampin'grmembe'rs are released and" the posts removedthe sheets are" freed so thatthey can heir sly manipulated; The-posts are prefcra 1y ,tap'cred at thei-re'nds to facilitate insertion'throirgh the hole'sin the" sheets and-engagement with q the clamping-bars; 3 5

In the structure shown the covers are wider than thesheets and the sheets are pro vided withnotch'es lei-which lie intermediatethe'binding members 7 when the notches 14 are engageditherewith and are-adapted to engage one-of the binding members when the sheets are offset as 'sh'owninlfiig. I.

In the keeping'of accounts or records it is'sometimcs desired to a'ssort the sheets on which records are made for the day or of a'certain class orgroup. This can be done by arranging the'sheets in the offset relation shown. This facilitates the making up of balance'sheets or reference to a particular class of sheets forarhr'purpose.

In the modification shown in Rigs. V'and VI one of the clamping membersgris provided with a"threadedf socket 18 for the threaded post 19,1theother binding membeing provided with .a recess 20 adapted; to receive the pivoted finger piece 21. This permits the'ready' removal of the post-and at the same time the sheets are securely retained when the posts are inserted. r In the mod'fication shown in Fig. V'Hflthe posts 19 are adapted for manipulation with a. he

In 'the modification shown in VIII I provide a"pair of post retaining bars 22 having sockets 22 therein for-the oats 16.

- post retaining bars are prov-'i' d with he sheets or leaves 13 are provided with notches 14 adapted to receive the binding market without change other than forming the holes 2i for the pins-23.

In. the modification shown in Fig. XIII the posts ["43 are th-reaed' into the other, the, heads 43 of the posts being larger than the holes in I removably arranged throu h'holesin one of the bars 22 and the bar 22through which the postsarc arranged so that the sheets retained by the bars a d posts may be removed from the binder. This is of advantage'in the event that it is desiredto use the bars and posts as a holder or binder for permanently filing the'body of sheets. The posts. can-bereadily removed freeing the sheets for manipulation as has been pointed outin connection with the other embodiments. v I r In Figs. X, XI and XII I show iny improvements embodied in apo'st binderflof a typein quitecommon use. In thigembodiment the covers26 are hinged to the clampving members 27 which have flanges 28 at" their rear edges telescoping with the back 29. The'back 29. constitutes a siipport' for the adjusting screw 30 which is mounted in a center-block 31 and opositely threaded to engage the adjusting members 32. These adjusting members carry arms 34 which engage the inclined slides 35 on the clamping members so that when theadjusting memhere are moved outwardly by the screw the clamping members are separated. The

clamping membersare connected to the ad- JHSSIIIg IUBIBbQIS by'chains 36 arranged over pulleys 37 so that when the adjusting members are moved inwardly by the. screw the clamping members are drawn together and clamped upon the sheets or leaves. i As these I adjustment features form no part of my present inventionand are well understood in the art lido not describe them with further detail herein; The clamping members carry telescoping post r'nember's 38 and 39.

v The clamping members 27 are provided with opposed sockets 40 for the removable binding posts 16 which are preferably chamfcred at their ends as in the other embodiments. The sheets are, provided with open notches 4:2 toreceive the telescoping binding posts and with holes 15 to receive the removable In the modification shown in Figs. X and XI the'notches 42 are also disposed so that the. sheets may be arranged inan alincd bodymsshown in Fig.X-',or in offset relation. Th sheets may be offset in either direction. T
