A pnc ation'fiiea february arieefr. .Sefia n'o lmass o.
This invention relates to a filing-tab-I holder inwhich apocket' is attached to a rubber bandand' is'provlded wlth a trans parent; outer side and an open end for per-,
'mi'tti'ng the insertion and removal ofthe tabinto and out of the pocket. 7;
I The main object is to assemble the pocket upon one side of a rubber band in such ma ner that the tab when inserted therein will friction'ally contact with'the majorlportion for frictionallyholding said tab therein.-
Other objects and uses will be brought out in the following description.
In the drawings :f .Figure 1 is a top plan of a tab holder em- 7 bodying the various features vof my inveni tion, the tab being shown by dottedlines as partlywithdrawn from the pocket.
Figures 2 and 3' are enlarged sectional views taken respectively on line 22 and 33, Figure '1 V Figure 4 is an enlarged detail sectional View taken on line 44:, Figure 1.
As illustrated, this tab holder comprises a pocket 1 and an'endless rubber band 2, the pocket 1 comprising, in this instance, a base plate 3- and a transparent cap plate 4. of any suitable length and width capable of receiving and retaining a card or tab as A between them.
These plates 3' and 4 are secured together near their longitudinal edges by staples 5, leaving their intermediate portions free for relative movement toward and from each other to form. a relatively shallow chamber 6' for receiving one side of the rubber band 2 and the tab or card A-. I V
One end of the plates 3 and etogether with the adjacent portionof the rubber band -2 are secured together by an additional staple 5 for holding the secured together by a staple e?- a j The endot the upper plate 4 adjacent as shown more clearly in Fig- I w ay between'theopposite longitudinal edges thereof and between the opposite roWs of staples ''-5 the staple is 'free from attachment to I the lower plate 8 and isiprovided with I (i-recess 7- extending inwardly from the end "edge to permitthe card or tab 'A I "to be moreeasily inserted intojand with- V ofthe-band-between the ends of the pocket j j ""The'plates 8-and 4 are preferably secured fiatwise to each other along their] drawn from the pocket; or chamber opposite longitudinal edges and at one endas previously stated so that the intermediate v portion of the top plate '4 tends by its own resiliency to spring toward the plate V.
open end as 8 of the pocket the inward tensionof the upper plate will press the card against the adjacent portion of the rubber band with sufficient friction to hold the card or tab against accidental "endwise displacement froin the pocket 6. I
The card A will usually be made of a portion thereof will underlie the recess '-7 where it is easily accessible for removal by h'and when desired.
Both of the plates -'3 and are preferably made of celluloid or comparatively inexpensive material but the upper plate is transparent either whollyor in part I to permit the indicia on the card -A- to be easily read therethrough.
The rubber band 2 may be of usual form and elasticity to permit it together with the card holder, to be placed over and upon a bunch of papers such-as legal docusufficient length to extend substantially the entire length of the chamber -6 so that ments and analagous articles to be held against accidental displacement and the card A? with'the indicla as a thereon indicating the-character of the-papers.
, I am aware that a card holdermounted i manner that the card will frictionally contact with the band throughout the major portion of the length of the card holder'for retaining the card or tab in operative position in the holder against accidental displacement, while the transparent cover plate 4 serves to protect the card against contact with external objects 'andlalsoto' protect the indicia thereon against obliteration.
What I claim is '1. A filing-tab-holder comprising opposite plates of approximately equal Width and length and secured fl'atwise to each other along opposite longitudinal edges to form an intervening relatively shallow tab-receiving chamber, said chamber being open at one end to permit the insertion and removal of the card and a rubber band having one side extending continuously through said chamber'from end to end thereof and secured to the innerplate against relative movement thereto and its remaining porforming a part of the inner wall of the chamber for frictional engagement with the tab when the latter is inserted into the chamher, the outer plate being transparent to permit the indicia on the tab to be read therethrough. r
2. A filing-tab holder comprisingan endless rubber band,' a plate secured to and against the inner face of one side of the rubber band, means for preventing relative movement of the plate and rubber bands and tab guiding"ineans secured to opposite edges of the plate and extendingover portions of the adjacent side of the band for holding the tabin contact with said'adjacent side of the band when placed in operative position.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand-this 9 day of February, 1927 tion returning beneath said plate, the portion of the rubberband between the plates E KINGSLEY.
