IMPROVEMENT IN TEMPORARY BINDERS.

Specification forming pari of Leiters Patent No. 152,453, dated June S0, 187.4; application tiled April 11, 1874.

To all whom it may concern: p

Be it known that I, JAMES BENNET, of St. Johns, in the Province of New Brunswick and Dominion of Canada, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Temporary Binders, of which the following is a specification: Y

The object of this invention is to provide means for preserving, in a safe and convenient manner, papers of all descriptions, as letters, invoices, bills, and all similar papers, as well as newspapers, hand-bills, and cards, and all simi-lar printed matter; and it consists in a tile which opens and closcs upon the principle ot' the parallel ruler,77 constructed as hereinafter more fully described.

In the accompanying drawing', Figure 1 represents a side view ot' the tile. Fig. 2 isa top or plan view.

Similarletters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This iile consists of a bed-piece, A, which rests on the table when the paper is inserted, a clamp,B,of corresponding length, two jointbars, C C, by which the parts A B are connected, and the pointed holding-pins D D. These pins may be attached to the bed-piece A in any suitable manner, so as to stand irm and rigid, and perpendicular to the bed-piece. In this example of my invention I fasten a metallic strip, E, on top of the bed-piece Recesses G are made in the bed to admit disks H under the metallic strip, and disks I are placed on top of the strip, screw-threads are cut on the pins, and the disks serve as screwnuts, into the center of which the pinsiare screwed, one disk-nut being below and vone above the strip for each pin. The screw threads are cut the whole length of the pins, and the roughened surface thus produced prevents the papers from too easily slipping up when the clamp is raised. J J are mortises through the clamp B, which receive the pins D D when the clamp is pressed down in ilin g.

Then the clamp is raised for filing, the bars C C serve as guides for the edge of the paper, so that the back edges ot' the papers liled present an even and uniform appearance. By means of the joint-bars the bed A and the clamp B work together the same as the two parts of a parallel ruler.

It is obvious thata quant-ity of papers thus filed, may be securely bound by taking the lower dislmuits ofi' and screwing them onto the tops of the pins, and then supplying other y pins for the bed-plate or other pins, wires, or strings, may be inserted through the holes made in the papers, as may be deemed best.

Havin thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Iat- 'entl. rlhe combination, with a paper-file bed and clamp, ot' bars C C, pins D D, strip E, and nuts l H, as and for the purpose speciied.

2. The metallic strip E, disk-nuts I and H, and holding-pins D I), in combination with the bed and clamp yof a paper-file', as shown and described.
