' Application filed Ma ii, 192 2. Serial No. 560,138.
To all whom it may concern:
- Be it known that I, FLOYDv W. SGHOQL Y, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a newandfuseful Improvement in Check Holders, of which the following is a full, clear, andexactde- SCIlPtlOlL' I My inventionrelate 'seto improvements in check holders, and it consists inthe combinations, constructions and arrangements herein described and claimed:
An object of'mylinventionis to provide a device of the character described in which positive'means is provided for preventing the pad of checks from'slipping out of the holder when the holder is held vertically,
A- further object of my invention. is .to
provide a device of the-character described which may be easily and cheaply manufactured, and which is thoroughly practical for the purpose intended; 7
Other objects and advantages will appear in the following specification, and the novel features of the invention will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
My invention is illustrated in the accom- 1 panying drawings, forming part of this application, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of an. enibodiment of my1nvention. Figure 2 is an end elevation of the Figure 3 is a diminutive end elevation of the mechanism illustrated in Figure 1.
In'carryin'g out my invention, I make use. of a metal body member 1 which is substantially U-shaped in cross section. I. One of the side walls 2 of the body member .1 is in portion relatively higher than the opposite side wall 8. r I
The side wall 2 has riveted thereto a spring metal shearing member 4. The other end of the shearing member 4 is brought to a point as shown at 5 and theedges of the gitudinal movement of the mechouter end are sharp, the spring member .p; beingv made by'a die cutting process. The
inherent. spring vproperties of the spring member 4 tend to normally hold the member in the position shownv in Figure 1.
- A" pair o-foutWardly' extending lugsf6 -are formed on'theouter surface of the wall 2 by shearing a portion of the wall. and
subsequentlyzpunchingthe sheared lugto the. position" shown in the drawing; The
a manner hereinafter described; The-rear- ,ward portion of "the wall 2, as shown at. '8, is relatively the same height aspthe wall 3. The portion 8 of the wall 2fand theiwal-l I extending tongues 9, The tongues 9,; as reference to Figure 2 will show,provide means for retaining a pad of checks 10, such. as 7 shown ,in dotted. lines in" Figure 1,"in the check holder, the tongues 9 being inserted between the superposed" checks. Integral a areeach' provided with integral inwardly upwardly extending stop members 11 are provided at one end of the body member 1 and serve as a means for limiting the lonpad 10 when placed in the check holder. r The body member 1 is provided with an outwardly extending fastening ring 12, by V l means of which. a chain, as" shown at 13,
member for the .check holder. Ordinarily,
' may be secured and serves. as a supporting the chain' l3 is attached to the dress of the user.
The outer edge of the body member 1, as
shown at 14, is at an angle to the side walls. -2'and 3 thereof, the edge 14 gradually sloping rearwardly from the wall 2 to the "wall- 3. The purpose of this construction is to T enable'the'user to place a finger beneath the pad 10 and thus move the; checks upwardly at their outer extremities so that removal v they may be easily grasped for individually from the pad, a ,.-From the foregoing description of the various'parts of the device, the operation thereof may be readily understood. In the ordinary typeof check holders in common use, the padlO is held in place by. tongues: somewhat similar to the tongues 9, and it. 7
is a common occurrence for the'pad -10 to slip out of the check holderunobserve'd and fall to the floor Where it may be lost. In my present device, this disadvantage is entirelyobviated, since .the provision of the stop members 11 serves as a means to positively prevent longitudinal movement of the pad 10 after it has been inserted in the holder. It should be noted that the pad is bound at its rearward end, as shown at 15, so that the forward longitudinal movement would he obviously impossible.
In use, a waiter, or whoever may use the check, removes one of the checks from the pad 10 and places it in the position shown in Figure 3 so that one of its edges abuts the lugs 6. He then moves the check longitudinally until the desired numeral is opposite the point 5. The spring shearing member 4 is then manually pressed closely upon the check 7 and the check is drawn upwardly over the point 5 of'the member a. This action serves to shear away a portion of the check 7 and the sheared portion indicates to the cashier what amount the customer is to pay.
I claim: l. A- device of the character described comp-rising a body member adapted to receivea pad of checks having one end bound, said body member being substantially U- shaped, in cross section, a pair of integral diametrically opposed inwardly extending tongues on the side walls on said body member adjacent the top thereof, and arranged body member at the top thereofior resisting movement of said pad longitudinally, said inwardly extending tongues being arranged to extend inwardly from the side walls of the body member sufficient to prevent the passage of the bound portion of said pad of checks thereby.
'2. The combination with bound together at one end thereof, of a holder for said checks comprising a substantially flat body'member having a stop member at one end thereof for resisting the movement of said check pad longitudinally in one direction, said body member being formed with side members arranged toli'e relatively close to the side walls of said check pad, and having a pair of diametrically opposed inwardly extending tongues thereon arranged to'lie between superposed checks in said pad and to extend toward one another for a distance sufficient to pre clude the passage thereby o-fthe bound portion of said checks, said tongues being disposed on said' side portions adjacent that portion of said body member on which said stop members are disposed.
