MAIL-SIGNING- BOOK.
Application filed July 28, 1920.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, NATHANIEL L. TooKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certaln new and useful Improvements in Mail-S1gn1ng Books, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to devlces for handling and signing mail and the primary object of this invention is to provlde an mproved device for facilitatlng the handling of mail from the stenographer to the dictator, so that the mail will not become wrinkled or soiled and so that each letter and its inclosures will be separated from the other letters to prevent the same from becoming mixed and disarranged and which will automatically blot the signature of the dictator.
Another object of this invention is to provide a book embodying a cover and a plurality of dividing leaves formed of blotting paper, the letters being adapted to be placed between the leaves of the book and thus being held in a neat and unwrinkled condition, the leaves being of such a size as to completely cover the letters and their envelops.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved means for forming the leaves of the book, so that the persons using the same can see from one page to the other, thereby eliminating the poss1b1l1ty of leaving any unsigned mail in the book.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a mail signing book of the above character, which will be durable and eflicient in use, one that will be simple and easy to manufacture, and one which can be placed upon the market at a reasonable cost.
With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and formation of parts, as will be hereinafter more specifically described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which drawings,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved book, showing the same in an opened position, and letters placed therein ready for signing and illustrating the manner of arranging the sight openings in the leaves thereof.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 1, 1921.
Serial No. 899,617.
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view through the same.
Referring to the drawings in detail, Wherein similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the letter A generally indicates the improved mail signing book, which includes the cover B and the leaves C.
The cover B as shown consists of a back and front portion 5 and 6, which are formed of relatively heavy and thick material and the connecting flexible strip 7. It is to be understood that I do not limit myself to any particular form of cover and back for the book, as any preferred type of cover and back could be used with the device.
The leaves C each include a body formed of blotting paper of sufficient size, so as to completely cover a letter and its envelop and these leaves may be connected to the cover B,
by means of flexible tabs or the like 9, as shown these tabs are sewed to the strip 7 but it is to be understood that the same can be glued or otherwise secured thereto if so desired.
Each of the leaves C are provided with a plurality of alined openings 10 which permits the user of the book to see from one page to the other, so that the possibility of leaving any letters in the book is eliminated.
In use of the improved book, the letters as they are typewritten are placed between the leaves of the book by the stenographer and when the mail is ready to be signed, the book is taken to the dictator. The dictator then starts at the front of the book and signs the first letter and then turns over the leaf and signs the next letter and so on. It can be thus seen that each letter will be antomatically blotted thus eliminating the necessity of blotting the signature by the dictator.
It can be seen that by the use of the book,
that the mail \Vlll'bQ held in a neat condi tion and against disarrangement and that the same will not be exposed to the view of visitors to the oflice.
From the foregoing description, it can be Seen that an improved means has been provided to facilitate the handling of the mail from the stenographer to the dictator.
lVhile the leaves C have been shown connected by tabs to the cover B it is to be understood that the book can be made up with the leaves detachable similar to a loose leaf book and when the leaves become soiled, the same can be replaced by new leaves.
Changes in details may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention, but what I claim as new is,
1. A book for facilitating the handling of mail from the stenographer to the dictator comprising a cover and a plurality of leaves formed of blotting material, said leaves having a plurality of sight openings formed therein.
2. A book for facilitating the handling of mail from the stenographer to the dicta tor comprising a cover and a plurality of leaves formed of absorbent material, the leaves having a plurality of alined sight openings formed therein.
3. A book for facilitating the handling of i mail from the stenoprapher to the dictator comprising a cover and a plurality of dividing leaves formed of blotting material the leaves having sight openings formed therein, the lower portions of the leaves corresponding to the'portion of the letter which is to be signed by the dictator, being formed imperforated.
