PAPER OR DOCUMENT CLIP 0R FASTENER.
Application fil'ed October 23, 1920. Serial No. 418,895.
Be it known that I, Sco'r'r ROGERS, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Auckland, in the Dominion of New Zealand, have invented certain new and useful Improve-- ments 1n Paper or Document Clips or Fatstoners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. I
This inventionhas been devised with the object of providing an improved form of clip or fastener for use in securing together a number of sheets of paper or documents.
The construction designed provides for the papers or documents being securely held together and also for facilities in the removal from the number, of any particular sheet or document.
According hereto the clip or fastener is formed by two members one of which is designed to pierce the sheets and is bifurcated or hollowed, while the other is constructed to pass between or through the other member from the other sides of the sheets and both of which are formed or provided with heads on their respectively outer ends, and are constructed at their other ends to be fastened against withdrawal so as thus to hold the sheets tightly between the two heads.
A suitable manner of carrying out the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a head end elevation, and
Figure 2 a longitudinal section of one member of the fastener.
Figure 3 is a longitudinal section, and
Figure 4 a head end elevation of the other member of the fastener.
Figure 5 is a view showing the manner of using the fastener.
Figure 6 is a similar view illustrating the two members drawn apart to permit of an intermediate paper being removed from the file, the fastener members being shewn from an axial direction at right angles to that shewn in Figure 5.
Each member of the fastener is formed of ordinary paper fastener type, i. e., with a head and a stem formed by two prongs or legs extending together from one side of the head. One member, however, has its head A (Figures 1 and 2) formed with an aperture B in its middle and has its stem legs or prongs C extending from therespective sides of such aperture so as to leave the said aperture uncovered between them. This aperture is made of the necessary width and length to permit of the free passage through it of the two legs of the other fastener member, when such are together.
The second memberhas its head D for-med with two apertures E arranged on the outof one of the legs C of'the first member passing freely through it. I
Thus by these features of construction,
the stem 1* of the second member is adapted tobe passed down between-the stem legs Cof the first member andth'rough the aperture B in the head A thereof, while the legs C of this first member pass through the respective apertures E in the head D of the second member. In thewdrawings' (Figures 2 and 3) thetwo members are.
Z shown as arranged end to end and ready to be thus assembled one with the other.
In use for holding documents or papers together, the first member A-O has its stem passed through the documents or papers, ordinary paper fastener fashion. The second member DF is' then passed into the first member in the manner described, until the heads of the members engage the respective sides of the documents, the points of the two members then protruding through the respectively opposite heads, as shown in Figure 5. These points are then bent outwards and fiat upon the heads through which they protrude. as indicated by the dotted lines in that figure so that the papers are held firmly between the two heads. To place a fresh document on the file, it is only necessary to straighten the points of the two members, and withdraw the second member, when the said document may be passed down on to the first member and then secured by threading the second member through the first again, in the manner described.
If a paper or document positioned anywhere down the file is required to be removed, the leg points are straightened, the file divided at the desired document and pulled asunder when the divided portions will remain on the respective members of the fastener, as shown in Figure 6 with the desired document .on the outside of one so that it may be removed without disturbing stem supported by said, head and extending from the inner surface thereof, the'adjacent surfaces of the two elements of said stem being in alignment with opposite edges of the aperture in the 'headand being'spaced apart throughout their length to form a passage between them, and a second member comprising a head having an inner surface of concaved formation, a double stem extending from the concaved inner surface of the head, the tWo elen'ients of said stem being substantially in contact with each other throughout their length, said head having apertures adjacent the center of the concaved inner surface of the head on each side of said stem, whereby the ends of the elements of the stem extending from the inner surface of the first mentioned member may be, directed through the apertures in the head of the second member when they are telescoped. f
' 2. A paper or document fastener consisting of a member comprising a head haying an aperture in the center thereof, the outer surface of the head being of convex formation, a double stem supported by said head and extendingfrom the inner surface thereof, the adjacent surfaces of the two elements of said stem being in substantial alignment with opposite edges of the aperture in the head and being spaced apart throughout 7 their length to form a passage between them,
a second member comprising a head havin its outer surface of convex formation an, its inner surface of concave formation, a double stem extending from the concaved inner surface of the head, the two elements of said stem being substantially in contact with each other throughout their length, said head having apertures adjacent the center of the. concav'ed inner surface of the head-on each side of said stem whereby the ends of the elements of the stem extending from the inner surface of the first mentioned member may be directed through the apertures of the second member when they are telescoped, and'ithe portions of'the stems projecting through the apertures may be bent over the convex surface of the heads with their ends turned inwardly toward the paper or document. y g
In testimony whereof I alfixnny signature.
