FILING-RACK FOR LOOSE-LEAF BINDERS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 10, 1918.
Application Ied September 6, 1917. Serial N o. 189,977.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, JUSTIN F. BARBOUR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Filing-Racks for Loose- Leaf Binders, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in ling racks for loose leaf binders and the like and it is adapted to furnish an arrangement whereby means may be provided for holding and supporting a loose leaf binder with covers separated so that the pages or cards therein contained may be freely and easily moved back and forth and separated for the insertion and withdrawal of the ordinary type of cut removable sheets. My apparatus is arranged so that the binder itself will be firmly and rigidly held in position and so that means will be provided for continuing the ordinary posts of the component parts of the posts. This arrangement makes it possible to use a binder in which the posts do not project beyond the cover and at the same time insure that the binder and its contents will be always maintained in the proper relation when being filled. Other objects will appear from time to time in the specification.
My invention is illustrated more or less diagrammatically in the accompanying drawing, wherein` Figure l is a side elevation;
Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. l;
Fig. 3 is a able sheets;
Fig. et is a plan view of a preferred form;
Fig. 5 is a side elevation of Fig. t;
Fig. 6 is a section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 4;
Fig. 7 is plan view of one of the remova section on the line 7 7 of Fig'. 4;
Fig. 8 is a plan with parts in section of a modified form;
Fig. 9 is aside elevation of such modified form;
Fig. l0 is a section on the line 10-10 of Fig. 8;
Fig. 1l is a section on the linefllll of Fig' 8 ...1 la ...v .l
Like parts are indicated by like characters in all the figures.
is a supporting base. Upon it is mounted an end stop A1 held rigidly in position by means of screws A2. A3 is a cover support inclined up and outwardly from the end stop A1. A4 is a similar stop carrying a cover support A5 opposed to the cover support A2. A5 is a rod slidable through the stop A4 adapted to be held against longitudinal movement by means of the set screw A7 and normally engaging the perforated end B5 of the binding post. There maybe a plurality of such rods and each one will be separately mounted for adjustable movement.
B is a loose leaf book. It has two opposed clamping members B1, B2 upon which are pivoted book covers B5. 1 is a sectional binding post, one ofthe sections comprising such binding post being rigidly mounted in the member B1, the other sections being screw-threaded or fastened one to another so as to make up the desired length. The last section B5 passes through the clamping member B2 and is adapted to be held against movement in an outward direction by the clamping lever B5 held in the clamping position by a spring` B7 and adapted to be released by a sliding bar B8 moved by the operator toward the clamping ring and rotating it when it is desired to release the clamping member B2. B9 are removable loose leaves held between the members B1, B2 provided with perforations B10 to engage the binding posts B4. Slots 11 communicate with these perforations and make it possible to place the separate leaves in posiytion without withdrawing the binding post. B12 are raised steps designed to support the member B1 slightly above the base A so that when the member B2 and the leaves B9 are moved along the rods B4 or A5 they will not drag upon the base.
In a different form of my invention C is a platform upon which are rigidly mounted stop members C1 connected by the bar C2 to engage the binding portion of the loose leaf book and having inclined cover supports C3 which will permit the cover to swing to one `side but limit it in its movement. This platform C is slotted at C4. It has on its upper surface the slot C4 opens. C5 isa shoe adapted to a guide rail C5 through which binder and cut away travel upon the guide rails C5 and to be held by its form against rotational movement while free to move longitudinally. C2 is a bracket or cross beam mounted upon the shoe C0. C8 is a looking pin passing through the shoe and cross beam terminating in the head C0 adapted to travel in a slot C10 on the under side of the platform C This member` C8 is located within the slot C4 and projects up above the bracket C7 and has pivotally mounted upon it an eccentric cam 11 adapted to be controlled by the handle .C12 to engage 'the plate C13 whereby when in the position shown in Fig. 7 tension will be eX- erted by the eccentric to clamp the shoe and bracket or carriage C7 in position on the platform and hold them-against longitudinal movement. The parts are thus free to move toward and from one another to engage loose leaf books of varying sizes.
The bracket C7 is slotted as at D in a track D1 similar to the track C0 and associated with that slot. D2 is a carriage slidable upon the track D1. D3 is a pin extend- A ing through the slot D having a Vhead D1 adapted to travel in a slot D"5 and having at its upper end an eccentric cam D0 controlled by a handle D20 whereby the carriage D2 may be locked in position after it 'has been adjustably moved along the member C7. 1, Ds are brackets projecting upwardly respectively from the mei ber C7 and carriage D2 and adapted to engage the opposed edge of the binding portion of the loose leaf as at D9 to support the cover as it is opened back. D10, D10 are pins projecting outwardly respectively from the member D7 and the member D8 adapted .to engage the ends ofthe pins of the loose leaf binder so as to provide -a track upon which the cover portion and the loose leaves themselves may be 4moved back. In view of the fact that there are many different sizes lof binders the adjustment of the member longitudinally is provided so that the pins may be drawn into yengagement with binders Vof different widths.
1n a further modified lform of my device vF is the base plate. It is comparatively narrow. 1t has at one endbrackets F1, F1 to engage one side of the loose leaf binder. It is centrally channeled at F2 and is slotted at F3, the slot being at the center of the channel. F2, F1 are raised supports along opposed sides of the plate for the pages B2 and the parts B1, B2. F5 is a carriage adapted to travel upon ya shoe F6 engaging the channel F2. `F7 is a holding bolt passing through the :slot F3 :provided'with a locking cam :FB controlled by the handle ,TF0 on its upper side whereby the carriage may bereleased .or locked at the will of the operator.
G `is astrip of metal `oriother suitable'mat'erial extending acrossthe if-ront of the carriage F-5 held position .thereon lby ,Ineens binding posts of pins G1 which penetrate the bracket members G2. Binding posts G3 made up of separate screw threaded members G1, G5, GG extend forward from the strip G. These members may be screw-threaded in any one of the holes G1, GS, G0 on the strip so that they may be moved or adjusted or prearranged to engage and cooperate with binders of different sizes, the member G10 on post member G0 being always arranged so as to enga-ge 'the end of the binding post of the book itself t0 bring the parts into operative relation.
The .use and operation of my invention are as follows The loose leaf binder is placed in the rack with ythe permanent or fixed side of the binder engaging the fixed stop. The posts projecting forwardly from the adjustable side ofthe rack are brought into engagement vwith the lposts in the binder, that is to say, the reduced portions of the rack posts engage the perforations in the ends of the posts on the binder. The operator then releases the movable side or cover of the binder and withdraws it sliding it along the posts toward the adjustable side of the rack. This gives sufficient space between the two covers of the binder to permit the operator to move the contents back and forth along the posts. This is done. while filing takes place, it being quite easy to spread the contents away fr'om the side of the sheet so that it may slip over the posts in the usual manner. Since all the post sections are of the same size andvsince particularly the posts in the binder are of the same size as the posts on the rack and since they all fit, the post surface will be continuous and there will be -no danger of any breaking or tearing ofthe sheet portions.
1t will be noted that the adjustable cover of the binder has a friction grip on the post and that it may be moved along the post Ytoward VAthe fixed side of the cover so as to compress the contents in the usual manner. 1f it is desired -to change the thickness of the book, different lengths of post may be used, but the post will always come substantially flush with the outside of the adjustable cover and this is possible because the rack itself provides the length of post necessary for filing.
I claim:
1. A filing rack for loose leaf binders comprising a support, ystop members mounted thereon, means for adjusting the distance betweensaid stop members, posts on one of them adapted to engage and to -be in register with the binding posts, and means for clamping one stop against the other tolock the binder between them.
