aaZeZ I between the fixed and movable rods or mem- 11 is: interposed between the top of the holbers so that bills, memoranda, sales checks and the like may be readily transferred from one member to the other in placin them on and in removing them from the b1ll file.
The spring which is mounted on the lower portion of, the movable rod or member low base, and a nut 21but any other suitable stop may fcou'rse be employed and thenut after being placed on the rod may beriveted to prevent it'from-coming off. The spring holds 'theicurvedconnecting arm 12 firmly in interlocked relation with thefixed rod or member 8 but the curved engaging faces .enable the movable rod or member to be readily swung into and out of engagement 1 with the pointed uppe'r end of the fixed rod f to be operated by an or member 11 and: extending outwardly through a horizontal $1011.23 in the lower I end of the tubular extension and carrying a head' 24. The tubular-" extension is provided. at the ends of theslot 23 with notches 25 and '26, the notch '26being slightly deeper than the notch '25 and the bottom wall thereof being slightly spaced from the operating arm when the curved connecting arm 12 is in engagement with, the tapered upper end of the fixed rod or'member 8 to enable the spring'to actdirectly upon the rod 11 and maintain the curved arm 12 in positive engagement with the fixed rod 8 by spring pressure.
' and close the movable rod or member. The
The operatingarm and the knob or head are in convenient position to bereadily operated by' placing the thumb against the tubular extension and the forefinger against the knob or head and a relatively slight movement ofthe operating arm will open bill file is operated in the ordinary manner by opening the connecting arm12 and placing thebills or other memoranda on the rod or member 8.- Thecurved arm is then moved to, its closed position and the'bills and other memoranda on the rod orjmember 8 are then moved tothe other rod or member 11. The contents of thebill file are quickly moved from'one side. or rod or member to the other and any bill-or memorandum maybe quickly removed without removing any but the mattei' wanted. The walls of the notches yieldably hold the movable member against pivotal or lateral movement and as they are curved they will permit the operating arm .to readilyride out of them. The pivoted or movable arm is held in its open and closed position and the devicemay be readily carried by the curved connecting arm or portion in handling the bill file or carrying it from accidentally opening. The vertical tubular extension. the pivoted or swinging member of the bill file also serves to support bills and other papers at an inclination; the upper end of the pile of papers resting upon the top of the tubular extension and the inclined position of the papers causing more or less of a separation of the same and facilitating a quick examination of the contents of the bill file.
What is claimed is 1 i 1. A bill file including a base, a fixed rod, a tubular extension projecting upwardly from the. base and having a horizontal slot provided with opposite notches, a movable rod mounted in the tubular extension and provided with an operating arm extending through the said slot, said movable rod being also provided with a connecting arm for engaging the fixed rod, and a spring con- 'nected with the movable rod for yieldably engagement with the bottom of the notch when the, connecting arm is in engagement with the fixed rod or member. j
2. A bill file including a fixed rod having a tapered upper end and provided thereat with opposite grooves and a movable rod having a connecting arm provided with a forked terminal straddling the tapered end of the fixed rod and engaging the grooves thereof.
3. A bill file including .a fixed rod having a tapered upper end and provided thereat with opposite grooves and a movable rod having a connecting arm provided with a forked terminal straddling the tapered end of the fixed rod and engaging the grooves thereof, the grooves of the fixed rod being transversely concaved to present concaved faces to the forked portion of the 9 besides forming a bearing for arm and the prongs formed by the fork I being rounded at their inner faces 4. A bill file including a fixed rod havwith opposite grooves forming side portions of unequal widths, the wider side portion constituting a stop and a movable rod havmg a connecting arm provided with a forked terminal straddling the tapered end.
