ATTO/P/VIXS UNITED STATES DONALD S. COX, OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK.
HOLDER FOR DISK RECORDS.
Application filed. January 27, 1921.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DONALD S. Cox, a citizen of the United States, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Holders for Disk Records, of which the? following is a specification.
This invention relates to containers or holders of the kind more particularly adapted to be used for holding disk records for phonographs, or the like.
The objects of this invention are to produce a holder of this kind which securely protects the record against injury and yieldingly holds the record in place within the holder; also to provide a holder of this kind which occupies the minimum space and which is provided with means whereby the record holder desired can be readily found for removing or replacing the record; also to improve the construction of holders of this kind in other respects hereinafter mentioned.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a holder embodying the invention.
Fig. 2 is a similar view of a plurality of holders showing one of the holders drawn forward for removing the record.
Fig. 3 is a similar view showing holders of different sizes arranged on a common supporting member.
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary longitudinal section of a holder.
Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation thereof on line 5-5 Fig. 4.
Fig. 6 is a sectional view on an enlarged scale of the suspension means for the holder.
Fig. 7 is a transverse sectional elevation thereof on line 77 Fig. 6.
Fig. 8 is an end elevation showing a plurality of holders arranged on a supporting rod or the like in a cabinet.
Fig. 9 is a side elevation of a holder, similar to Fig. 1, on a reduced scale and showing the reverse side thereof.
Briefly stated, the holder comprises an envelope or analogous container open at one side and preferably made of strong paper, fiber board or analogous material, and is adapted to be suspended from a rod or other support in such a manner as to permit the holder to swing on the rod. The holder is preferably provided at its lower portion with an indicator tab or analogous device on which the title of the record may be written and Specification of Letters Patent.

which is pivoted so as to swing into an upper or inclined position when the record has been removed from the holder. The tab is preferably pivoted to the holder by means of av rivet or eyelet which also acts to yieldingly retain the record in the holder.
A represents the envelope or container for the record which is preferably made of relatively heavy paper, card board or the like and is open at its front end, which end is preferably provided with a recessed or depressed portion a beyond which the record extends, so that the same can be readily removed from the holder. In the construction shown, the container is made of a single piece of material folded at its lower edge and having flaps a and a suitably closing the top and the rear edges of the container. The container may, however, be of any other suitable construction.
The envelope or container is provided with means for suspending the same from a rod or support I). For this purpose a hook B is preferably employed which may be suitably secured in any desired manner to the middle of the upper portion of the envelope A. In the construction shown, the upper edges of the envelope are provided with upwardly extending lips or projections 0 which are secured together by means of a rivet or eyelet or other fastening reinforcing device C which also passes through the lower portion of the hook B. The rivet, therefore, not only forms the means for connecting the hook to the envelope but also reinforces and assists in securely holding the upper edges of the envelope together.
Each holder is preferably provided with an indicating tab or extension D which may be made of celluloid, card board, or any other suitable material, and which preferably extends outwardly beyond the front edge of the holder. On the outer portion of the tab or indicator, the name of the selection on the record to be contained in the holder may be written, and if desired, the tabs may be made of different colors to indicate different types or grades or records. These tabs are flexible so that when the records are arranged close together the desired record may be readily selected by running the finger along the line of the indicating tabs, thereby bending each tab in succession so as to successively expose the writing on the tabs. These tabs may be secured to the holders in any desired manner, a rivet or e elet E being shown in the construction il ustrated, which passes through the front and rear faces of the envelope portion of the holder and through the inner portion of the tab, which is preferably arranged as shown, between the front and rear folded portions of the envelopes. The portion of the holder through which the rivet or eyelet passes may be reinforced by means of a piece of cloth or other material a. By using a rivet or other fastening means passing through the lower portion of the holder, the fastening means serves to yieldingly hold the record in the holder, since a tilting of the holder about the support I), which might start the record rolling toward the open end of the holder, will not cause the record to be dislodged from the holder owing to the resistance offered by the holding means for the tab. This resistance is due to the fact that the rivet or eyelet pinches the two opposite portions of the envelope toward each other, and also forms a rigid stop or raised portion over which the record must pass to move out of the holder.
The tabs are preferably pivotally secured to the rivets E so that the tabs may be moved into an upper inclined position as indicated in Fig. 3, this being preferably done after a record has been removed, so that the holder into which the record is to be replaced can be readily found.
By pivotally supporting the holders on a rod Z) or the like, the withdrawing of a record is facilitated by pulling out the lower portion of the holder as indicated in Fig. 2, whereupon the record may be easily grasped without interference by adjacent records. Each holder also can be readily removed from the support independently of any other holder by disengaging the hook from the supporting rod 6. The supporting rod may be supported in any desired manner, for example within a phonograph case, the ends of the rod Z) being secured to the walls f and f of a cabinet or case as indicated in Fig. 8.
The holder described is inexpensive to make and constitutes a simple and efficient means for preserving the records, and from which the records can be easily removed. The holders occupy very little space, thereby making it possible to store a large number of records in a small space. The holders may be made of different sizes to hold records of different sizes, and when holders of different sizes are suspended from the same supporting rod, the larger and smaller rec.- ords can be readily distinguished by the different elevations of the tabs.
I claim as my invention:
1. A device for holding phonograph records, comprising an envelope having an open end through which a record may pass, a hook pivotally secured to the upper edge of said envelope for supporting said envelope from an overhead support, and a stop rigidly secured on said envelope near the lower edge thereof and near said open end and which yieldingly holds said record in said envelope.
2. A device for holding phonograph records, comprising an envelope having an open end through which a record may pass, and a stop consisting of a device which connects and compresses the front and rear portions of said envelope adjacent to said open end of said envelope to frictionally hold a record and over which a record must be lifted to remove the record from said onvelope.
3. A device for holding phonograph records, comprising an envelope having an open end through which a record may pass, a fastening device extending through said envelope adjacent to the lower edge thereof and forming a stop for a record, and a tab secured to said fastening device and extending outwardly from said envelope.
