BINDER.

Application filed Qctober 19, 1921.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD M. ANDERSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Binder, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to binders, known in the trade as arch binders, and has for its object, by a simple and inexpensive construction, to increase the utility of these devices.

It is particularly adapted for binding samples of carpet and heavy cloths, or anything of a substantial nature, and affords means whereby the insertion or substitution of samples in the binder may be readily accomplished, and at the same time whereby the normal use of the binder is not interfered with.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the binder;

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view on a larger scale, partly broken away, indicating; in dotted lines material on the binder;

ig. 8 is a partial side view of the binder on the same scale as Fig. 1, showing it in an open position; and

Fig. 4 is a sectional detail view of the retaining sleeve.

The reference numeral 1 indicates the baci: of the binder, the body of which is flexibly connected at 2 with the rear base part 3, which has a face-plate l secured by rivets 5. The pile of samples normally rests upon the back.

A pair of straight rear posts 6-6 are riveted or otherwise fastened to the plate 4; and another taller pair of posts 77 rearwardly arched at their tops 88 and having vertical downwardextensions 99 are also secured to the plate. Each post 7 is directly in front of the corresponding post 6. and its arch and extension are in the same plane with the two posts, the extension 9 being in line with the post 6 and separated from the top thereof by a gap. The posts 6 and 7, with the part 11, which will be described, form the arched binder.

The downward extensions 9-9 are threaded at 10,- and sleeves li -11 slidable on the Serial No. 508,681.

posts 66 are interiorly threaded at 12 to screw onto the extensions.

As shown in Fig. 3 the binder is in a position to have its contents removed or inserted, the sleeves having been unscrewed from the extensions and dropped down along the posts 6; and when this has been accomplished the sleeves 11 are slid up and seto cured in position by the threads 10 and 12., closing the gap. The sleeves are chamfered off at both ends 13 to permit the contents of the binder to pass the enlargement when they are being thrown from ne post to an other, as shown in Fig. 2. The straight posts 6 and the sleeves 11 being in the rear, and the arched posts 7 being in front, and the sleeves being screwed onto the top extensions and slidable on the straight posts, the sleeves are out of the way when samples are put in or taken out, and the pile of samples can be the full height of the front posts without interfering with the sleeves.

As shown in Fig. 2, a stiff top cover l i may be provided, having eyelets secured therein to enable it to slide freely on the rods. It will be understood that the back or bottom (cover 1 and its rear part 3 may be stiff instead of containing a flexible hinge as shown.

What I claim as new is:

1. An arch-binder having a back, straight posts rising from the rear part of the back, taller front posts also rising therefrom in front of the straight posts and having their tops arched rearwardly and prolonged in vertical downward extensions which are directly above the straight posts and separated tl'ierefrom by a gap, the ends of said extensions being screw-threaded, and sleeves slidable on the straight posts and internally threaded to engage the threaded ends of said extensions, the sleeves when screwed upward onto the extensions bridging the gaps.

2. In a device of the character described,

abase, a straight post rising therefrom, a taller post also rising from the base, having its top arched and prolonged in a vertical extension directly over the straight post and separated therefrom by a gap, the end of said extension being screw-threaded, and a sleeve slidable on the straight post and in ternally threaded to engage the threaded end of the extension, the sleeve When screwed upward onto the extension bridging the gap.

3. In a device of the character described, a base, a straight post rising therefrom, a

* taller post also rising from the base, having its top arched and prolonged in a vertical. extension directly over the straight post and separated therefrom-by a gap, the end of said. extension being screw-threaded, and a sleeve slidable on the straight post and 10 internally threaded to engage the threaded end of the extension, the sleeve When screwed upward onto the extension bridging the gap, and both ends of the sleeves being chainfered. p
