oosmsn-En'r ,BINDER.
ToeZZ whom iizayconceriir I Be itknown "that I,SAMUEL SMILEY, J r.,
a citiiien ofthe- United-States, and residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Loose-Sheet Binders, of which the following specification is a full disclosure] I '2" This invention relates generallyfto filing devices and particularly to filing folders, generally comprising a protective cover of foldable material and providing 'means secured thereon for retaining correspondence sheets, or sheets containing similar data, within the folder.
A troublesome feature relative to said folders is the tearing of the folder material at points of attachment with the fastening devices used for securing the sheets to the folder, thus necessitating a frequent renewal of the folder cover.
An object of the invention is to eliminate the necessity for such frequent renewal, by reinforcing the material of the cover at points of attachment of the sheet-retaining or fastening device.
Another object of the invention is to provide sheet-retaining means detachably engaged with the reinforcing means, said means in the form of a paper-retaining clip or fastener, the same being engaged in such a manner as to be conveniently replaced when broken, as by frequent bending.
Other objects and certain advantages will be more fully set forth in the description of the accompanying drawings forming a part of this application, in which:
Figure 1 is an inner face view of a correspondence folder having a reinforcing member and detachable clip or fastener applied thereto.
Figure 2 is an enlarged detail plan view of the fastener attached to the sheet, corresponding to Fig. 1.
Figure 3 is a section on line 33, of Fig. 2, showing the sheets traversed by the upstanding prongs of a clip, or sheet-retaining element and showing in dot-and-dash lines said prongs bent to sheet-retaining position.
Figure 4 is a cross section of the device on line l -4, of Fig. 2.
The clip holding and reinforcing memher 1 is preferably made from a sheet of 12 Application flled'flarch- 14, 1923.".Seriafl-N'o. 625,102.
bendable material, notched at its corners,
'to provide when folded, a flattened tubular or slotted tubular structure of substantially elliptical cross-sectional configuration havmg on one side two inwardly directed slots 3 at relatively opposite ends, (see Fig. 2).
The edges "2 of the blank are spaced apart !as shownto provide a relatively narrow 'ESlOt"5"."' Tl1'e reinforcing member lmay also be made from tubular stock flattened to present a substantially elliptical cross section and the end slots formed in any suitable manner. The slots 3 are of suflicient width to provide space for the insertion and attachment of fastening devices 6 for holding the body 1 to the sheet 7, the fastening devices being thus countersunk with relation to the upper face of the member 1, so that the sheets may lie flatly against said upper face. The inner extremities of the slots provide shoulders 8 as stops to lock the metallic strip or clip member 9, of greater length than the reinforcing member 1, which member 9 is inserted lengthwise of the body or member 1, and the projecting ends, preferably of equal length, thereafter turned upwardly at a right angle to a vertical position and against the shoulders, as shown in Fig. 3, to lock said clip against lateral displacement and to provide tangs or prongs over which openings 10, preferably provided in the sheets 15, are engaged.
After a sufficient number of papers, either one or more, have been thus placed, the prongs are bent downwardly thereagainst, as shown in dot-and-dash lines at 8 in Fig. 3, to prevent disengagement.
In other words, I provide a loose leaf binder clip which comprises a slotted tubular member adapted to be secured to a folder sheet. This tubular member is notched at its opposite ends on its slotted side in order to receive and confine the opposite ends of a strip. This strip extends through the tubular member and is bent to provide these tongue ends extending from the notches and adapted to engage and bind a plurality of loose sheets.
This construction provides reinforcement of the material of the folder at the point of attachment of the paper-retaining means, and further provides for the convenient attachment, removal and renewal of the clip or fastener when the same is broken as by frequentbending. Provision is also ilar devices, used for fastening the tubular member to the sheets, relative to the uppe r snrfa'c'e' or said ineinbers, miiiffi'fit interference of the ri'vet s or other suitable fastening devices with the sheets,
a folder sheet, said ,rnember at, its. opposite Having described my invention, I clairnz l. A loose sheet binder chp, comprising a slotted tubular member, adapted to be secured to afo'ldr sheet, said me'nib'er at means for engaging through and binding loosesheets:
