Application filed September Improvements in Loose-Leaf Holders, of

which the following is a specification.

The object of my said invention is the provision of a loose leaf holder characterized by simplicity and inexpensiveness of construction and by a peculiar capacity of function whereby it is adapted to securely hold all of the loose leaves save the one that is grasped for removal which latter may be withdrawn with facility at the back of the device.

To the attainment of the foregoing, the invention consists in the holder as herein after described and definitely claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming;- part of this specification Figure 1 is a front perspective of my novel holder, showing the preferred embodiment thereof which has been reduced to actual practice.

Figure 2 is a front perspective with the front flap turned downwardly.

Figure 3 is a rear perspective of the holder.

Figure 4 is a plan view of the blank from which the holder illustrated in Figures 1, 2 and 3 is fabricated.

Similar numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all of the views of the drawings.

As will be understood from Figures 1, 2 and 3 considered in connection with Figure 4, the illustrated embodiment of my invention is preferably, though not necessarily, formed of single piece of appropriate paper or other material compatible with its purpose. It comprises a back wall 1 with a notch 2 in its upper end and also with lateral arms an end wall 4:, a front flap 5, and a closure end wall 6 with a front flange 7 and an end flange 8. The flange 7 also has end extensions 7*, Figure 4;. It will be noticed. however, by particular reference to Figure 3 that the closure end wall 6 is not flanged at the back of the device. On the other hand the edge 9 of said wall 6 is slightly spaced from the adjacent end of the back wall 1 so as to afford an eduction opening 10 in communication with the -iotch '2 and through 1928. Serial No. 862,514.

which the back loose leaves designated by ll may be removed one by one from the holder. When the holder is closed the front flange 7 on the wall 6 serves as a keeper for the upper end of the front flap It will also be noticed that the front flap 5 rests within the loop 12 formed by the mentioned arms 3 which are connected together at 13 by ad- I hesive or other suitable means. wall 1 is provided with upper corner extensions 14 and'15, Figure 4, and it will also be understood that the dotted lines shown in Figure 4 represent the folds. With this understanding it will be readily seen that the upper end closure is formed by folding portions of the blank shown in Figure at and The .back

connecting them together by adhesive substance or other appropriate means in me manner shown at the upper'end of-Figure 3.

In the practical use of my novel holder, the loose leaves 11 are arranged in the holder in the manner in F igurcs 1, 2 and 3, the ends of the leaves abutting against the wall 4 and the closure end wall 6, and the front of the holder being entirely closed by the 1 make a memorandum on the face of the other leaves being displaced or disarranged.

Manifestly when the supply of loose leaves 11 in the holder is depleted, a fresh supply of leaves may be readily placed in the holder. It will also be noticed that the end wall t is adapted to move from the position shown in Figures 1 and 3 to the position shown in Figure 2 and vice versa for the manipulation of the front flap 5 relative to the retaining flange 7, and that when the end wall a is in the position shown in Figure 2 and the front flap 5 is folded outwardly and downwardly on the fold 16, Figure 4, the loose leaves 11 will be clamped more tightly than at other times so that there will be little or no liability of the leaves 11 shifting incidentally to the making of a memorandum on the face of the foremost leaf. I would also have it understood that when the holder is in the state shown in Figures 1 and 3, the rearmost leaf may be readily engaged with a finger and with drawn from the holder Without disturbing the other leave Notwithstanding the practical advantages of my novel holder as set forth in the foregoing it will be readily observed that the holder is extremely simple and inexpensive in construction and is well adapted to withstand the usage to which devices of corresponding character are ordinarily subjected.

l have entered into a detailed description of the construction and relative arrangement of the parts embraced in the present and preferred embodiment of my invention in order to impart a full, clear and exact understanding of the said embodiment. I do not desire, however, to be understood confining myself to the specific construction and relative arrangen'ient of parts inasmuch as in thefuture practice of the invention various changes and modifications may he made such as fall within the scope of my invention as defined in my appended claims.

Having described my invention, what l claim and desire to secure by Letters li atent is l. A loose leaf holder having an end wall a back wall with a notch in its end remote from said end wall, a second end wall carried by the back wall and provided with a front flange and end flanges, the front flange spaced from the bacl: wall and the second-named end wall having its rear edge separated from the adjacent end of the back walh a loop carried by the back wall at an intermediate point in the length thereof and having a portion spaced from the inner sic of the back wall and a front flap extending from the first-named end wall and under the loop and having its free end removably disposed under the front flange of the sec-- ond-named end wall, said front flap having a fold line at an intermediate point of its length adjacent to the first-named end wall which fold line is movable into and out of coincidence with the upper edge of the said loop.

Li loose leaf holder having an end wall, a bacl: wall with a notch in its end remote from said end wall, a second end wall can ried by the back wall and provided with a front flange and end flanges, the front flange sp ced from the back Wall and the second-named end wall having its rear edgeseparated from the adjacent end of the baelr. wall, a loop carried by the back Wall at an intermediate point in the length thereof and having a portion spaced from the inner side of the back wall, and a front flap extending from the first-named end wall and under the loop and having i 3 free end removably disposed under the front flange of the second named end "all, said front flap having a fold line at an intermediate point of its length adjacent to the first-named end wall which fold line is movable into and out of coincidence with the upper edge of the said loop; the whole being formed of a single blank of appropriate material.

3. A loose leaf holder comprising an end wall, a back wall extending therefrom, an end closure wall carried by the back wall and relatively arranged to form an eduction opening between it and the end of the heel: wall remote from the tirstman'ied end walh a loop carried bv the back wall at a point adjacent to the first-named end wall. and a front flap carried by the first-named end wall and having its free end nOVEll'llO int and out of engagement with the end closun. wall. and also having a fold line movable into and out of coincidence with the upper edge of the said loop.

4-. A loose leaf holdercoinprising an end wall a back wall extending therefrom, a. loop on the back wall at an intermedizte point in the length thereof flap-receiving and def: chahly-retaining means on the heel: wall remote from said end wall; and a 'liront flap extending' from the end wall and under the loop and having: its free end removable engaged with said retaining means,

ln testimony whereof I my signature.
