Specif cation of Letters Patent. P t t July 27,
Application filed May 7, 1920. Serial No. 379,525. r
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, \VALTER L. BISSELL, a citizen of the United States, resident of Cleveland, county of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Schoolroom Checlrers, of which the following is a specificatlon, the principle of the invention being herein explained and the best mode in which I have contemplated applying that principle, so as to distinguish it from other inventions.
My invention relates to school room checkers, and particularly to devices of this character whichwill enable the person in charge to check the attendance in the room. The
. object of the invention is to provide simple and inexpensive means whereby this function may be performed accurately. and quickly in crowded moments or at a rush period.
The annexed drawings and the following description set forth in detail certain means showing in dotted lines an open position of certain other spring fingers;
Fig. 4 represents a rear elevation of a certain, filler pad; I i
Fig. 5 represents a transverse vertical section taken vin the planes indicated by the lines V-V, Figs. 2 and 3, showing, however, one set of spring fingers in open position;
Fig. 6 represents a front elevation of the seating plan shown in Fig. 2; and
Fig. 7 represents a front elevation of a seating plan adapted to be portrayed upon the reverse side of the plan shown in Fig. 6 or, if desired, portrayed upon an entirely different card, said plan being utilized for checking attendance in a home room and at various classes held in said room. This view is shown upon a scale one-half size, and is of a type of plan portrayedupon an independent card.
principal elements of my new and improved checker are, a base or holder, indicated by the ordinal 1, a filler pad of any suitablenumber of sheets of separable highly trans-v parent tracing paper indicated by the ordinal 2 and a seating plan indicated by the ordinal .3. The filler pad is adapted to be secured at one edge to the base 1 by means of certain fingers 4 made of polished spring wire and secured at one end in the base 1 and adapted at their free ends to be snapped over the front of the filler' pad, as plainly shown in Fig. 2. The specific means for securing the free ends of these spring fingers 4 over the pad 2 consists. in bent finger ends 4E adapted to intersect eyelets? connecting together the two arms 6 of clips 6, U-shaped in cross-section, and receiving between said arms, the pad of filler sheets, said eyelets 7 passing through said pad, all as plainly shown in Fig. 5. e
. A second pair'ofispring fingers 5. are also secured at one end in the base 1, the same being secured at the edge of the filler pad-opposite the edge near which said spring fingers 4c are secured, said spring fingers 5 serving to hold the topmost filler sheet 9 and the seating plan 3, at their bottom edges against displacement or relative movement; When 1t 1s deslred to insert a seating plan,
or to remove the same, the spring fingers 5 are lifted from the pad and adjusted to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3. See also Fig. 5. Notches 3 formed in the base 1, filler pad 2, and seating plan 3 enable the springfingers 5 to be easily grasped by'the thumb and forefinger.
- The seating plan, referring particularly to Figs..2 and 6, consists of a suitable durable'card 3,-properly sized to the support 1, andruled to display any'suitable numlber of distinct rectangular spaces upon which are displayed indicia of the proper relative seating of the several pupils which should be present, these indicia consisting preferably ofthe several pupils names. In order that the seating plan may be properly positioned upon the base l, the card 3 is formed with upper recesses or notches '3 which receive the paper compressed between the clip arms 6 thus properly relatively alining the pad 2 and seating plan.
Referring to Fig. 7, the seating plan 10 therein shown may be the one portrayed upon the reverse side of the plan shown in Fig. 6, or, as actually shown in said figure,
may be an entirely different card, the same being shown as about onehalf size and having a plurality of sections indicated by a, b, c, etc., this plan being utilized in whatris known as a home room for pupils or headquarters of a specific teacher, the section a displaying the names of the pupils of that particular room, and the sections Z), 0,61, etc., displaying the names of the pupils comprising the several classes that report for recitation in that room during the day. The use of the checker including this seating lan shown in Fig. 7 will be as follows:
tendance cover the whole day and may include such indications as a large A;denoting absence in the morning, and a large P denoting absence in the afternoon, or these marks and other indications of intervals of less than one-half day may be utilized. Instances of such checking are shown in Fig. 2. In the use of such a plan for a study room, the teacher in charge of the room checks the absentees, using different colored checks or other varying insignia to indicate absence'in more than one study period. 7 V p a The teachers in the respective headrooms and in the study rooms, at the end'of the day, or at any other suitable and convenient period, compare their checks upon the several classes with the report which has been posted by or come from the oihce concerning the several pupils. ,Where absentee two rooms are arranged upon the two sides of" the card and the "card reversed, as neces sai'y, only one fillersheet-being used, if
desired, by making the checks for 'the two 7 rooms upon the filler sheet in different colors or otherwise differentially n0ted." Then the proper checks upon the base "1, inserted underthe neXt lower transparent sheet of the filler'pad 2, and the fingers 5 fastened. v
Themerit'sof'my inventlon' are' thafl'lt is simple, accurate, compact, adaptable. 'andinthe filler. sheet 9 'have'been posted or transferred to permanent records, by the teacher 1n charge expensive, and saves time" and "brain" energy at a period of school activity when the mo-' ments are most'crowded and there'is need I do. not wish to limit myself. to the use of my improvedj checker in school rooms only, inasmuch as the" same will lend itself for convenient and desirable use in any situation where it is essential quickly and accurately to check an attendance. 1
What I claim is: i a V 1. In a school-room checker, the combination of a base or holder; a filler pad of separable transparent sheets secured thereto; and a seating plan inserted beneath a transparent sheet and secured against movement relative to said sheet. i
2. In a school-room checker, the combination of a base or holder; a filler pad of separable transparent sheets secured thereto, said sheets being held to said pad by eyelets in the pad and spring fingers intersecting said eyelets; and a seating plan inserted beneath a transparent sheet and having,
the pupils, saidcard adapted to beinserted beneath a transparent sheet and secured against movement relative to said sheet.
4. In a school-room checker, the combination of a base or holder; a transparent sheet secured thereto; and a card adapted to be inserted beneath said transparent sheet and secured against movement relative to said sheet, said card being provided upon its two sides with indicia of diiferent correct relative positions of pupils.
5. In a school-room checker, the combination of a base or holder; a filler pad of separable transparent sheets secured together at one edge by clips, U-shaped in cross-section and having eyelets intersecting the pad;
spring Wires secured to said base and adaptceive said eyelets; and other spring Wires secured to said base and adapted to have tension against said pad and seating plan at the edge of said pad opposite to said eyelets.
Signed by me, this 1st day of May, 1920.
WALTER L. BISSELL.
