WILLIAM J. COLEMAN, 0F HYDE PARK, MASSACHUSETTS.
NEWSPAPER-CLIP.
Application filed June 9, 1915.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM J. COLEMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hyde Park, in the county of Sufiolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Newspaper-Clips, of which. the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
This invention has for its primary object a simple, durable and efficient construction of device for use as a newspaper holder or clip, which may be very easily attached to a newspaper so as to hold the parts securely together, and add to the convenience and comfort of the reader.
The invention has for a further object a simple device of this kind which may be very cheaply manufactured so as to be sold at a low cost and yet with profit, and the invention further aims to generally improve devices of this class so as to render them more useful and commercially desirable.
With these and other objects in view, as will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain constructions, arrangements and combinations of the different parts that I shall hereinafter more fully describe and claim.
For a full understanding of the invention, reference is to be had to the following de scription and accompanying drawing, in which,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my device applied to a newspaper, the latter being shown in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the device detached. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view of one end of the device. Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view illustrating the clamping action of the aws.
1 Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and designated in all of the views of the accompanying drawing by like reference characters.
My improved newspaper holder or clip comprises a bar 1 which may be of any desired size and shape and which is preferably round and formed of wood possessing some resilience, although it is to be understood that any other substance or material may be employed. The bar 1 is split lengthwise from one end to near the other end, so as to produce a longitudinal slot 2, and at the extremity of the slot thetwo longitudinally disposed jaws or clamping members 3 that Specification of Letters Patent.

are defined thereby, are inwardly beveled, as at 4, to produce a mouth in which the sheets may be very readily inserted so as to pass therefrom in between the clamping members.
5 designates the binding member which is designed to hold the clamping members 3 together, upon the sheets, said binding member in the present embodiment of the invention, being formed of a single length of wire formed at one end with a laterally turned extremity 6 constituting a pivot which is.
received in an aperture or opening 7 formed in the solid portion of the bar 1 and extending transversely therethrough. At its other end, the binding member is laterally offset, as at 8, and curved upon itself to form a hook 9 which is adapted to engage and extend partially around the clamping members 3 so as to securely hold them in their operatlve positions.
From the foregoing description in connection with the accompanying drawing, the operation of my improved clip or holder will be apparent. In the practical use of the device, the binding member 5 is swung to its inoperative position and the sheets to be held are inserted in between the clamping members 3, after which the binding member 5 is swimg back to its operative position with the hook 9 embracing the clamping members. Thus the sheets of a newspaper, for example, will be securely held together and the paper may be read in comfort and without liability of the pages becoming separated.
Preferably, the hook 9 is resilient, whereby it will serve effectively to bind the clamping members 3 in position with varying thicknesses of paper between them.
It will thus be seen that I have provided a very simple, and efficient construction of device of this kind, which will not take up very much space when not in use, and can be carried in ones pocket and which may be very readily applied when desired for use.
While the accompanying drawing illustrates what I believe to be the preferred em bodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited there to but that various changes may be made in the construction, arrangements and proportions of the parts without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
What is claimed, is
1. As a new article of manufacture, a newspaper clip or holder, comprising a bar provided with a longitudinally disposed slot forming clamping jaws, and a binding member pivotally connected at one end to the bar and formed at its other end with a hook to embrace the clamping jaws, as and for the purpose set forth.
2. As a new article of manufacture, the herein described newspaper clip or holder, comprising a bar formed with a slot extending from one end to near the other end and stopping short of the latter and formed adjacent the closed end of the slot with a transverse opening, and a binding member formed at one end with a laterally turned extremity pivotally received in said opening, and at its other end with a hook adapted to embrace the slotted portion of the bar.
3. As a new article of manufacture, the
its other end with a hook designed to em-' brace the clamping members.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
