Description
UNITED STATES FRANK S. GRIZZEL, OF SHARES CHAPEL, TENNESSEE.
BILL-FILE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 24, 1921.
Application filed January 8, 1921. Serial No. 435,869.
To all 1.0 ham it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK S. GRIZZEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sharps Chapel, in the county of Union, State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bill-Files; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same. I
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in package binders and particularly to devices for securing packages of mail matter.
One object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which is simple in construction, easy to operate, and which is strong and durable.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which is readily capable of adjustment to accommodate packages of different thicknesses.
A still further object is to provide a package binder which is especially adapted for use in postoiiices to obviate the use of cord or twine, the device being capable of continued use for a long period.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.
In the drawing:
Figure l is a perspective View of the binder in connection with a package of letters.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the binder removed from the package but in the position assumed when on the package.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the binder removed from the package and in open position to receive the package of letters.
Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing there is shown an elongated wire frame A including the parallel side bars 10 and 11 and the connecting end bars 12 and 13. Each of the end bars 12 and 13 is formed with a pair of inward bends or kinks 15 and 16 with which are pivotally engaged the arms of the wire yokes 17 and 18, respectively The sides of the bight portion of each yoke 17 and 18 are formed into loops 19 through which are slidably disposed the arms of a longer yoke, the yoke at one end of the frame being represented by the numeral 20 while that at the other end is designated by the numeral 21. The arms of these yokes 20 and 21 are bent at right angles at points adjacent the yokes 17 and 18 the inner ends of the arms of said yokes 20 and 21 being formed with eyes 22 which slidably embrace the arms of the yokes 17. and 18. Thus the yokes 17 and 18 are adjustable with respect to the yokes 20 and 21, to lengthen and shorten the distance between the ends of the frame and the bends of the yokes 20 and 21. The outer end of the yoke 20, at the bight portion, has mounted for pivotal movement the intermediate portion of a lever 22. The bight portion of the other yoke 18 is bent outwardly at right angles to the plane of the yoke, as shown at 23, for engagement by the shorter end portion 22 of the lever 22, when the said yokes are disposed in the position shown in Figs. land 2. Disposed transversely of the intermediate portion of the frame 10-1112-13, is a second shorter wire frame B, the former frame being designated as A. To one end of the frame B there is pivotally connected a yoke 24, similar in design to the yoke 17, but somewhat shorter. he sides of the bight portion of the yoke 24 is also formed with theloops 25 through which are slidably disposed the arms of the yoke 26. The ends of the arms of the yoke 26 are formed with eyes 27 which slidably embrace the arms of the yoke 24:. The arms of the yoke 26, outwardly of the bight portion of the yoke 24-, are bent at right angles, as shown at 28, and to the bight portion 29 of the yoke 26 is pivotally connected a lever 30, similar to the beforementioned lever 22. To the other end of the frame B is pivotally connected the yoke 31, similar in construction to the yoke 18, but somewhat shorter. The sides of the bight portion of the yoke 31 are formed with the loops 32 in which are slidably received the arms of the yoke The arms of the yoke 33 are provided with eyes 34 which slidably embrace the arms of the yoke 31. The arms of the yoke 33 are bent similarly to the arms of the other yokes and said yoke has its bight portion bent outwardly in a manner similar to that of the yoke 18, as shown at 35, for engagement by the shorter end portion 36 of the lever 30.
The frames A and B are secured at their points of intersection by soldering, welding, or are tied together by means of the wires brought down over the 'for marking thereon the desired legend identifying the contents of the package;
In the operation of the device the same is opened to the position of Fig. 3, and the packa e placed on the crossed wire frames A an B. The yokes 26' and 33 are then swung across the package andthe lever-SO engaged with the portion 35 of the yoke '33, the lever being snapped down as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The yokes 17'and' 18 are then 7 package, lengthwise thereof, and the lever 22 engaged with the portion 23 of the yoke '18, and snapped down in the same'manner as that'of the lever 30. 'The levers 22 and 30, when properly swung down and engaged with the yokes 18' and 33, move past centers and thus effectively lock the parts together around the package.
The'binder is formed entirely of wire of sufficient'stiifness not to easily bend when handled, and yet flexible to permit the proper package. This binder can be used many times before being thrown away, but in a large number of cases new parts can be supplied to repairjth'e' device and thus double locking of the binder around the;
the-life thereof. The device will admit of rough usage without injury, and handled without danger of injury to the user. Furthermore, the device, being formed from wire, can be manufactured at a low cost.
What is claimed is:
1. A package binder comprising a frame, members pivotally connected to the sides and ends ofthe frame, said members being formed'of slidably adjustable sections and arranged to fold onto a package, certain of said members having terminal loops, and I pivoted levers carried by the other members for interlocking engagement with the first members across one face of a package. 2. A package binder comprising a pair of crossed rectangular frames of different dimensions secured together, yokes pivotally connected to the ends of the frames, yokes slidably adjustable on the first yokes, the
bight portions of the second-named yokes extended angularly, and levers on certain of the second yokes having ends engageablc with said bight portions. 7 I
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
