UNITED STATES PATENT OFETOE. N V
GEORGE W. BETTESWORTH, OF CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA.
IMPROVEMENT IN NUMERICAL FILING-CASES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 144,593, dated November 18, 1873 `application led June 13, 1873.
To all 'whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE W. BETTEs- WORTH, of CedarRapids, in the county of Linn and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful improvement, being a Numerical Filing Case or Book for Slip Abstracts, Accounts, &c., of which the following is a specification:
My invention is especially adapted for the preservation, record, and convenient finding of abstracts of papers relating to the sale of y public lands, and for use in the offices of United States registers; and my said invention consists of a case or slip-book provided with par- Y titions to form spaces for the reception of abstract slips held in place by an elastic guard,
the inner end of each space-division being provided with a tile-wire to receive numbered or `otherwise-indicated file-slips, and the outer y ends of the partitions sloped from the top edges tothe bottom of the case to afford convenience in manipulating the inclosed slips to obtain the abstract required, the object and advantage of which are to dispense with much expensive and laborious book-keeping, and to and accounts now practiced.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1` represents a view, in perspective, of my numerical filing book or case open 5 Fig. 2, a cross-section greatly simplifythe abstract system of lands y thereof closed 5 Fig. 3, views of the frontand back'ofone of the slips, illustra-tin g the application of my invention.
poses; but in the example shown the les are y numbered with special reference to the preservation of register-s abstracts of deeds, and in Fig. 3 I have shown several examples, the
numbers on the slips corresponding with the y numbers on the record-books; and I design to use my invention in connection with records in a way to render far more convenient the use of such records, and to facilitate searches..
In the example shown the book has nine divisions, and its dimensions may be fourteen inches long, and nine inches wide, and two inches deep. The slips are made of paper or parchment, with a narrow face of linen across the end perforated. Upon these slips memorandums of abstracts, accounts, &c., are made and iiled in numerical order, so as to be referred to as the pages of a book, the le-wire and holding-guard serving the purpose of the binding of a book. The cover is made to close over the front, or in any suitable way without interfering with the slips in opening the case.
The numerical filing-case consisting of the compartments formed by the sloping partitions G, the rubber holdin g-band F, and iile-wire D, as described and shown, and for the purpose set forth.
GEORGE W. BETTESWORTH.
