VICTOR W. GIDEON AND PAULO. UNGER, OP KANSAS CITY,` MISSOURI, ASSIGNORS To InvING-PITT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, or KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, A conF POBATION 0F MISSOURI.
Application lfiled May 3,
To all whom z't may concern.'
Be it known that we, VICTOR W. GIDEON and PAUL O. UNGER, citizens of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State Of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Posting Devices, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to improvements in posting devices adapted for use in loose leaf holding devices, such as posting trays. It relates particularly to a leaf upsetting device by which the upper edges of loose leaves held in the tray may be held in positions adapted for the easy fingering and Separation of the leaves in transferring them one by o-ne from one pile to another.
The object of our invention is to provide a simple device Of the kind described, which is cheap to make, is not liable to get out of Order, which is durable,`and which can be readily placed in or removed from the tray with which it is to be used.
Our invention provides further an upsetting device for the leaves which will automatically adjust itself in the tray, Lso as to remain in Operative position, as the leaves vare transferred from one pile to another in the tray.
The novel featuresof our invention are hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate the preferred embodiment of our invention,
Fig. l is .a vertical sectional invention shown applied to a posting tray.
Fig. 2 is an under view, enlarged, ofthe upsetting device. n
Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. l. y
Fig. 4 is a cross section on they line 4-4 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectional view of the upsetting device.
Fig. 6 is a reduced perspective View of Sheet upsetting device.
Similar reference characters ldesignate similar parts in the different views.
1 designates the base of a posting tray between twO opposite sides of which extends a track, preferably comprising two parallel sections 2, the upper surfaces of which are,
`the
preferably rough or transversely corrugated so as to support and hold fromlateral shift view of our POSTING DEVICE.
1920. "Serial No. 378,555.
ing or slipping the lower edges of two piles 3iand 4 of loose leaves, which in the posting Operation are disposed in an upwardly'and outwardly inclined position, the piles inclining `in opposite directions, .as shown in Fig. l.
The piles 3 and 4 are supported respectively in the inclined positions by two wings 5 respectively hinged to opposite sides of the base l at the endsof the track sections 2, .so as to be swung from al closed vertical kposition to the outwardly inclined position 'shown.
The leaf supporting and upsetting device comprises, preferably, a sheet metal body having end portions 6 in which` are rotatably mounted two parallel longitudinal rods 7 "each having mounted on its ends respectively rollers 8 which are adapted for travel on the adjacent tracksections 2. The end portions 6 are disposed respectively adjacent to the inner sides Of the track sections 2 and yserve to guide the upsetting device On the By this construction the inner leaf of eachy pile 3 and 4 is above the nextyadjacent leaf,
so that it can be `readily fingered and de tachedfrom one pile to be transferred to the other pile in the posting operation.
Intermediate of the downwardly 4Haring 'portions 9 is a vertical longitudinal portion 10which serves to retain the loose leaves from accidental shifting fromv one inclined portion 9 to the other, and which valso serves as a guide in the transferring of the sheets from one pile to the other.'
` In the operation of the invention, the upsetting device is placed in the tray with the rollers 8 mounted on their respective track sections `2. The leavesy are then mounted in the tray with their lower edges resting on the track sections 2, and are transferred, as
posted from one pile 3 to the pile 4, the adjacent inner sheets of each pile having their lower edges resting on the adjacent inclined portion 9, as shown in Fig. 1. As the sheets are lifted from the pile 3 and transferred to the pile 4, the inner sheets of the pile 3 are occasionally lifted a short distance, upon which the pressure of the sheets of the pile 4 will force the upsetting device along the track toward the pile 3, the change in position being represented in solid and dotted lines in Fig. 1. s the inner' sheets of pile 3 are lifted occasionally, as above stated, the upsetting device will travel along, due to the pressure of the sheets .of pile 4 which are resting on it, following which the lifted sheets are lowered on the adjacent inclined portion 9, thereby retaining the inner sheets of pile 3 in the upset position, that is with the innermost sheets the highest, so thatfthey can be readily separated one by one in the posting operation.
It will be obvious that the sheets may be transferred in the opposite direction, that is from pile 4 to pile 3, if it is so desired. After the posting operation, the upsetting device -may be removed and used in another tray, if desired.
Our improved device can be used with any posting device in which the upsetting device is adapted for travel and in which the loose leaves may be held in two piles inclined apart.
INe do not limit our invention to the structure shown and described, as many modifieations, within the scope of the appended claims, may `be made without departing from the spirit of our invention.'
What we claim is 1. In a posting device of the kind described, ineans for supporting leaves on their lower edges in two piles which incline upwardly away from each other, and loose leaf upsetting means having two downwardly diverging portions adapted to respectively support adjacent leaves ofr said piles, said upsetting means being adapted for travel on said leaf supporting means as leaves are transferred from one of said diverging portions to the other, substantially as set forth.
2. In a posting device of the kind described, means for supporting loose leaves on their lower edges in two piles which incline upwardly away from each other, and leaf upsetting means having two downwardly diverging portions adapted to respectively support adjacent leaves of said two piles, the upsetting means having roller supporting means adapted for travel on said leaf supporting means as leaves are transferred `from one of said diverging portions to the other, substantially as set forth.
3. In a posting device of thek kind described, a tray having means for supporting port the lower edges of adjacent leaves of said piles, substantially as set forth.
4. In a posting device of the kind described, a tray having two sides and a base provided with a track extending between the two sides and adapted to support the .lower edges of loose leaves, the tray having two wings respectively hinged to said sides and adapted to swing from the upright to an upwardly and outwardly inclined position for respectively supporting two piles of leaves which incline away from each other, and means adapted for travel on said track for supporting adjacent leaves of said piles at different heights from the track, substantially as set forth.
5. In a posting device of the kindy described, a tray having a base provided with a track extending between two sides and adapted to support the lower edges of loose leaves of two piles disposed in oppositely inclining positions, and a leaf upsetting means adapted for travel on said track and having two downwardly diverging portions adapted to respectively support the lower edges of adjacent leaves of said two piles and a vertical portion extending upwardly from the junction of said diverging portions, substantially as set forth.
