COPY rasrnnna.

To all whom it may concern: 1

Be it known that L'VVILLIAM C. LINEA- wEAvnR, a citizen of United States residing fication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to copy holders I and has for an object to provide a device of the class for use especially with copy which is to be secured to a board for photographing or copying in any other manner and in which use a considerable number of the originals are placed preferably in the same location for the purpose of saving time in focusing the camera or arranging .other details of the copying apparatus.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device having spaced penetrating points connected by an articulated bar so that one of said points may be permanently fixed in the board as a positioning or registering 1 member, while the other point hinged thereto maybe moved about the inserted point as a pivot to secure the copy to the board in any approved manner.

A further object of the inventionv'is to provide hinged members having perforations at-or adjacent their ends, preferably similarly spaced upon opposite sides of the hinge and with penetarting members carried by the perforations with. a screwthreaded head member attached to the screw member, not only for the purpose of attaching the pointed member to the bar but for manual engagement with the device in use, p

A further object of the invention is to provide an articulated member having penetrating points equally spacedupon opposite,

sides of the articulating hinge with an engaging member clamping the penetrating member to the articulated member so that the penetrating members may be replaced when damaged by use without discarding the entire instrument. a

With this and other objects in view the invention comprises certain novel parts, elements, units, mechanical movements, functions and combinations as disclosed in the drawing together with their equivalents as ll be hereinafter more fully de ib d and claimed.- v

Like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

, In the securing of origlnals for thepurpose of copying, either by photographic process or otherwise, especially where a consi'derable number of originals of like size a and general uniform character are to be, employed, it is des rable to have fixed members' whereby the originals may always;

register so thatthe copying apparatus, be

it a camera or what it may, will-require the minimum amount of adjustment forputting it in condition for copying.

. The present invention embodies a pair of spaced points, one of whichmay be employed as a registering guide, while the other may be employed for penetrating the copy or penetrating only the supporting board to clamp the copy thereto. .It comprises a pair of

bars

10 and 11, similar each to the other, hinged together at 12. At the remote ends of the

bars

10 and 11 perforations '13 are formed. A head member'inproportioned to be inserted in and through the perforations 13 and an annular shoulder 16 to bear upon the

bars

10 and 11 respectively. The shank 15. is hollow and screw-threaded as at 17 to receive the screwdicated at 14: is provided with a shank; 15

threadedlug 18. The lug 18 is preferably integral with an annular shoulder member 19 which clamps upon the side of the

bars

10 and 11 by inserting the shank 15 in the opening 17 and clamping the shoulders 16 spaced to correspond identically with the and 19 upon opposite sides of the bars by screwing together the two members as 111- dicated more particularly at Figure 3. A penetrating point 20 is formed as an organized structure together with the shoulder 19 so that either of the penetrating points may enter the board 21 whereupon is positioned the original as at 22.

As shown at Figure 2 one of the penetratingpoints. 20 will be employed as the positioning member permittlng the other one to swing upon the hinge 12 to the dotted i-linepositioni shown therein for the purpose of releasing the original. Preferably also, when the original is properly registered upon the point remaining inserted in the board, the other point will "be inserted through the original itself into the board. In case it is desired not to perforate the original, both points may beinserted in the board outside the margin of the original as shown at Figure 1. While at- Figure 1 two of the devices are shown as securing the original to the board it isobvious that any greater number may be employed as circumstances may make desirable, With a pluralitygreater than two of the devices, the proper: registering and positioning of the original will be made more convenient and certain whether the second penetrating member enters throughthe original or only at the margin asshown.

It is obvious that by retaining one of the penetrating points in position upon the board. the succeeding original may be perforations, and means carried by the bars and the perforations for manual control of l the device.

2. A copy holder comprising a pair of articulated bars having corresponding spaced perforations upon opposite ends of the pivoting, penetrating points carried by the bars inserted in the perforations and extending upon the same side of the articulated bars, and manual engaging means carried upon the opposite sides of the bars and opposite to and for controlling the penetrating points.

3. A copy holder comprising articulated bars penetrating points carried removably by the bars equally spaced upon opposite sides of the articulation, and manual ongaging heads carried upon the opposite sides of the bar. adjacent to and for controlling the penetrating points.

l. A copy holder comprising bar sections hinged together, penetrating points carried by the bar sections adjacent their remote ends and extending upon the same side of the combined hinged structure,- and manual ei'igaging heads carried by the bar sections opposite to'and for controlling the penetrating points.-

5. A copy holder comprising bar sections pivoted intermediate their ends, penetrating points carried 'removably by the bars at theirremote ends and equally spaced upon opposite ends of the hinging, and removable manual engaging heads carried by the bar sections upon the sides opposite to and for controlling the penetrating points.

6. A copy holder comprising articulated bar sections having perforations adjacent their remote ends, penetrating points hav-L ing shanks inserted through the perform tions, and manual engaging heads having means-for engaging with the shanks and clamping the penetrating points upon and to the bar sections.

7. A copy holder comprising articulated bar sections having perforations at their opposite ends equally spaced upon opposite ends of the articulation, manual engaging heads having shanks proportioned to be inserted through and substantially fill said perforation and having internally screwthreaded bore, and penetratingpoints provided with screw-threaded shanks proportioned to be inserted in the screw-threaded to be clamped by the actuation of said screwthreaded engagement upon the bar sections. In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
