TRANSFERABLE SIGNATURE SLIP FOR LEDGER SHEETS.

Application led October 6, 1921. Serial No. 505,915.

To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, GERALD D. MILLER,

a citizen of the United States of America,

and a resident of Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Transferable Signature Slips for Ledger Sheets, of which thefollowing is a specification.

lVIy invention relates to improvements in transferable signature slips for ledger sheets, and particularly to the use of such slips with the removable leaves of loose leaf ledgers and the like, and the object of my improvement is to combine with a suitably modified leaf or sheet of the kind described a removable slip adapted to receive a depositors genuine signature, to be used transferably in connection with said leaf and other like leaves to allow comparison of the genuine signature with other signatures on checks and other writings purporting to be also the genuine or veritable signatures of the same person.

rIhis object I have accomplished by the means which are hereinafter described and claimed, and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. l is a plan view of one face of a ledger sheet on which such a signature slip is removably mounted, and Fig. 2 is a top edge View of the same.

Fig. 3 is a plan view, showing a modified form of mounting the signature slip on a sheet.

In said figures, similar numerals of reference denote similar parts throughout the several views.

The numeral l denotes a single removable leaf of a loose leaf ledger. though with different rulings and inscriptions itmight be a leaf or any other book of record.

In the upper part of said leaf is provided an elongated rectangular opening 2. The numeral 3 denotes a similar elongated piece of transparent or translucent flexible material such as properly treated paper which `has its peripheral edges pasted over the marginal parts of the leaf about said opening, leaving at least one end free or open,though both ends may be left free, thus providing a pocket on that face of the leaf to receive an elongated slip of paper or other material on which a signature may be inscribed on one or both faces.

The signature is visible through the transparent piece 3, so that it may be easily com- 1 pared with other signatures of the same depositor or writer on checks, notes and the like, while the latter are being duly entered on the leaf. The slip may be removed for use in like manner on a similarly prepared leaf, or on the other face of the same leaf, as anl other transparent piece 3 may be mounted on the opposite face of vthe same leaf over said opening to supply a like pocket.

In Fig. 3 is shown a somewhat simpler form of the above invention, in which slits 5 are provided in the leaf l at opposite ends of the opening 2, so that the ends of the slip 4, which are preferably pointed for the purpose, may be easily slipped into these slits or removed therefrom to engage them with said leaf. The inscriptions on opposite sides of the slips l are thus visible at both faces of the leaf.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is;

In combination. a leaf having an elongated opening and slits at opposite ends of said opening, and a signature-receiving slip made of flexible material positioned over said opening on the leaf with its ends passed through the slits to engage it removably with the lea-f. 85

Signed at Webster City, Iowa, this 21st day of September, 1921. A
