FILING CASE FOR'PHONOGRAPH RECORDS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 11, 192 2.
Application filed August 25, 1921. Serial No. 495,194.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLEs WV. CUDLIPP, a citizen of the 'United States, residing at Stony Brook, Suffolk County, State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Filing Cases for Phonograph Records, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relating to filing cases for phonograph records, and has for an object to provide a device of the class described which securely holds the'record in place, protecting the same from injury, and also rendering the record readily accessible for withdrawing and re-inserting, and providing index and'reference means in conjunction therewith.
The accompanying drawings represent a preferred form of my device with provisions as to certain details, of which Figure l is a perspective view of the box that would contain 10 records, with a phonograph record shown in one of the divisions.
Fig. 2. is a longitudinal vertical section of the device shown in Fig. 1.
' Fig. 3 is a partial sectional view -on line 33 ofFig. 2.
Fig.- tincludes a side and end view of a modified form of spring holder shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
Fig. 5 is a modified partial sectional view showing the modified spring of Fig. 4.
' Having reference to the drawings, the leti ter A represents a phonograph record of the disk type, to which my device is peculiarly adaptable, in position in the holder in the filing device. My improved device is a rectangular box having four sides, top and bottom, and is in its entirety represented by the number 1. The top or lid 2 is of the flange type, is hinged at the back to one of the sides, and has downwardly extending flanges to make a dustproof top. The side opposite to the hinged portion is in two parts, the upper and hinged or flap portion 3 adapted to swing downwardly when the lid 2 has been lifted, and front edge or lip of the lid 2 serving to hold the flap upright in closing the box. 7
In the bottom of-the box, for the purpose of forming a relatively soft cushion upon which the record may be dropped while being placed within the receptacle without danger of breakage, is the felted layer 9 which can be made of any soft, durable material, the
employed. r
The records are separated one from the other by upright sheets 4 which have their edges partially cut away at 5 to clear the spring holder 6 on the inside of the end of the box, thereby enabling them to be inserted and withdrawn freely as desired. The spring 6 is adapted to retain the disks in place and for this purpose is so arranged as to engage each disk upon the edge at a point above the central line thereof (see particularly Fig. 2). In the preferred form shown in Figures 1 and 2 this cut away portion extends along the edge of the sheet to a point above the spring 6, when the bottom edge of the sheet is resting upon the bottom. This construction is necessary when the coil end 8 of the spring is in the unbroken form shown in Figs. 1 and 2. However in Figs. 4 and 5 a modified form of spring numbered 7 isshown, in which a series of vertically disposed slots 7 permit the sheets 4: to pass through the slots when resting upon the bottom as shown in Fig. 5. In usingthe slotted form ofspring device 7 thecut away portion 5 will not be carried upto the height shown in Figs. 1 and 2; nor in fact is it necessary to cut away any portion of the sheet when using the slotted form of spring holder.
This latter'form of the slotted spring 7 has the added'function of holding the separating sheets apart more readily to admit the insertion of the records in their proper places, for example to enable a record being inserted without having to use the other hand to spread the sheets.
The top portions of the sheets 4 are not equilateral. The rounded corner 8 at one end makes that edge lower than the other,
so that if the sheets are placed in a series alternating to right and left the shortened corner 8, any two contiguous sheets are more easily separated for the purpose of msertlng a record between them.
' flap 3 are similar index card holding devices 10 adapted to contain an index card 11 which as shown in the illustration has ten transverse lines designating 1O panels in which the 10 records contained in the box may be registered. Thus when the box is inplace in a phonograph cabinet, where a number of boxes may be placed side by side upon a shelf or otherwise in a cabinet, the contents and position of all of the records contained therein are visible and may be consulted. before the box is removed. Likewise when the box has been taken out and opened up, the same information may be had from the index card upon the inner wall of thefiap 3. By employing a cardboard with a hard surface, the title of a record may be written in pencil and erased wheneverthe contents of a single pocket has been changed to a different title.
The title of the record may be wri ten in like manner upon the leaves 4, yet this last precaution would be unnecessary it the leaves were consecutively numbered as contemplated, numbering the panels upon the indexes as desired. However, either of these methods may be dispensed with in view of the fact that the number contained in each box is small and the location of the record can be determined at a glance by the posi tion of the panel in which the title is written.
Instead of employing the second index de ydiate proximity to the records themselves,
and secondly to the horizontal form in tion a plurality of partitioning sheets loosely disposed In said box to COIlSlZltlltQ record compartments and retaining means for the disc phonograph records comprising a flexible spring holder secured along one side of said box in position to engage each disc upon the edge at a point above the central line thereof.
2. A container for phonograph records comprising sheets adapted to separate disk records held normally upright tlierebetween. a retaining spring device adapted to engage said disks upon the edge at a point above the central linethereol, each of saidsheets being formed with a cut away portion at the side adjacent said retaining device.
3. A container. for disc phonograph records comprising'in combination a box, a plurality of partitioning sheets loosely disposed in said box to constitute record compartments for holding the disc records normally upright therebetween and a spring retaining device adapted to engage the edge of the records above their central horizontal diameter, said spring retaining device comprising a single flexible spring metal strip secured to one side of said box.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set 7 my hand.
