GEORGE ARTHUR HOLT, 0F MANCHESTER, ENGLAND.
MEANS FOR STORING GRAMOPHGNE RECORDS.
Application led August 21, 1920. Serial No. 404,977.
To all whom it may/concern.'
Be it known that I, GEORGE ARTHUR I-IoLT, subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, and resident of Chorlton-cum- Hardy, Manchester, in the county of Lancaster, England, have invented certain Improvements in Means for Storing Gramophone Records, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improved means for storing gramophone records in a compact space so that a number of suoli can be easily folded up whilst in their receptacles or be unfolded as desired, a further object r being to provide a device of a different character to the ordinary book and one in which there is less strain than in the latter, further features of the arrangement being to readily see where each record is and its character and likewise enable each record to be returned to its proper receptacle. A still further object is to provide a device which can be used for filing documents either of itself or in a filing cabinet for the storage ofletters, periodicals, newspapers or other documents and as a wallet, pocket book, sample or despatch case or box and for other similar services.
My invention will be fully described withY reference to the accompanying drawings in which,-
Fig. 1 is a plan of a device constructed in accordance with my invention and particularly adapted for storing gramophone records, the device being indicated in its extended form;
Fig. 2, side elevation of saine;
Fig.V 3, side elevation in compact form;
Fig. 4;, similar view to Fig. l showing the arrangement of the device as a document or like file also in extended form;
Fig. 5, side elevation of same in extended form; Y
Figy, perspective detail view of one of the receptacles for the documents showing the arrangement of the folding edges;
Fig. 7 extended plan of a form of cover for enclosing the record or document in the receptacles;
Fig. 8, sectional end elevation of the cover in closedV form; and f Fig. 9, sectional plan of the cover in closed orm.
In all the figures of the foregoing drawings like parts are indicated by the same reference characters.
WV ith the aforesaid objects in view my invention consists in the provision of a number of receptacles a in the form of large envelopes made of paper, textile fabric or other suitable material or combination of materials. Each of these envelopes is open at one edge Z) and is suiiiciently large to hold the record c or documents or the like, the front of the envelope, in the case of gramophone records, bearing near the upper edge the description or title of the record to be placed within it. The series of envelopes constituting the holding device are attached to each other by strips of paper d or other suitable material so as to combine the whole of the envelopes together whilst allowing them to be superposed, as in Fig. 3, directly one above the other and at the same time enable them to be drawn out one upon the other into elongated form, as in Figs. 2 and 5, to enable the names of the whole of the records to Vbe readily seen. The strips d between the envelopes are suitably folded transversely to enable the two positions referred to to be attained. In Fig. 2 the strips are drawn out by their full length whilst in Fig. 3 they are shown folded. Figs. 1 and 2 show the strips Z extended from side to side of the envelopes whilst in Figs. 4L and 5 the strips are shown in two series. Additional strips may be used where the envelopes are of larger size. The strips Z may be secured to the envelopes in any suitable way so long as the method of attachment allows them to be folded or unfolded in the manner referred to.
The lowermost envelope in the file is attached in any convenient way to a suitable cover c much in the form of a newspaper or postal wrapper asV is clearly shown in F igs. l to 5. The cover may be made of any suitable material either of a iiexible or stiff character so long as it can be closed around the envelope when they are super-posed as in Fig. 3. The attachment of the lower envelope is at the middle of the length of the cover so as to allow its lowermost portion f Figs. l to 5 to be turned over on to the top record envelope and the upper portion g of the cover to be turned to overlap the lower portion so as to enclose the whole of the envelopes in the cover. The latter may be provided with any suitable means for securing its ends together in the closed position. In Figs. 1 to 3 a press button h is shown as being used.
Figs. Il to 6 indicate the invention as applied to a [ile for letters or other documents or the like. The general arrangement is substantially similar to that shown in Figs. l to 3 but the novel feature is to provide folding edges z' to the envelope a to enable each of them to expand when being used for letters, invoices and the like, such forms of edges being made by attaching separate folding strips y' of paper or fabric to two edges of the front and back of each envelope and to the bottom edge where required as indicated in Fig. 6. The cover e in this construction is preferably flexible and is sufficiently long to fold over the combined envelopes so as to always cover them even when expanded to their greatest limit. An adjustable strap and buckle device 7c may be used to hold the combined envelopes together for storing. A further feature of the construction, Figs. 4 and 5, is to make the upper edge m of each envelope to overlap the upper edge of the back portion so as yto facilitate the selection and examination of the contents of each envelope. The envelopes may be provided with letters, numerals or the like as an index to their contents.
A tab n may be attached to the bound end of the top envelope of the series to enable the whole of them to be spread out easily for examination, as shown in Figs. l and 2.
Figs. 7' to 9 show a modified arrangement of the cover for enclosing the envelope. This is made of stiff millboard or the like scored across at the points o to enable it to be folded as shown in Figs. 8 and 9. In this cover p is the back, @extensions to form the sides and part of the front as shown in Fig. 9, r an extension to form the bottoni and front of the case and s an extension to form the top of the case and a flap. The
folding parts are securedtogether by press buttons t or other suitable means.`
What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent isz- A storage receptacle, comprising a series of superposed envelopes each having a back and front and being open at one end and closed at the other, and short strips of flexible material normally folded double,Y said strips being secured in pairs between the adjacent surfaces of the envelopes at points between their open and closed ends, said strips permitting each envelope to be slidV longitudinally over the closed end of the envelope next beneath it, commencing with the envelope at the top ofthe series, so as to expose the front surface of each lower envelope at a point adjacent to its open end. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two Witnesses.
