Patented Oct. 15, 1929 PATENT OFFICE HUGH B. MOCLURE, OF PEORIA, ILLINOIS BINDER FOLDER Application filed May 10,
My invention relates primarily to folders for receiving various documents, the folder serving as a means for keeping the documents in proper condition, and in proper a.- rangement, the ordinary use of devices of this kind being in connection with systems of filing documents for future reference.
One object of my invention is the provision of a folder which is provided with a suitable binder, the structure being so arranged that when the folder is closed as for filing, the outside surfaces of the folder are smooth and in the .original condition of the material from which the folder is made, no portion of the binder or other fastening device projecting through the outside or leaves of the folder.
Another object of my invention is the provision of a binder for use in connection with my folder and whereby the sheets to be held by the binder may be held in two groups, either of which may be removed without disturbing the other.
Other objects of my invention will appear and be described in the specification.
The novelty of my invention will be hereinafter more fully set forth and specifically pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view partly broken away of one form of binder folder embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one form of binder which may be employed with either of the forms of folder shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the binder of Fig. 2 before the bending and forming operations have been completed.
The same numerals of reference are used to indicate identical parts in all of the figures.
While I have shown and will describe several forms of 'device embodying my invention, it is obvious that various changes and modifications may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts and I do not limit myself to the precise details of construction or arrangement shown but avail myself of all changes and modifications which may be made within the scope of the appended claim.
1926. Serial No. 107,870.
I o I n q I In practiclng my lnvention I prefer to em-.
ploy a sheet of sufliciently heavy paper or fiber or other similar or suitable material and ,fold this sheet to form a front and back covering, and also to inwardly fold a portion of the sheet to provide a mounting for the binder which is to hold the documents or other material in place within the folder.
By referring to Fig. 1 the sheet is folded to form a front cover 5 and a rear cover 6 and between these two covers, the sheetvis folded to provide an inwardly projecting portion 7 which is perforated to receive the sheet-metal tang or binder.
This binder is made from a blank such as shown in Fig. 3 in which the body portion 11 carries a pair of tangs 12 at each end, the body portion being folded over upon itself on the dotted line 13, and the tangs being bent in opposite directions on the dotted lines '14 thus producing an H-shaped binder of Fig. 2 and it will be readily apparent that if the lower pair of tangs be inserted through the folded portion 7 of Fig. 1, sheets may be carried by these tangs in the same manner as they would be carried by the upper tangs, and in addition a second set of sheets may be mounted upon the upper pair of tangs after which these tangs are bent to hold the sheets, thus providing a folder in which the correspondence or documents may be kept separated while mounted in the same folder.
- In all of the constructions and arrangements shown and described it is to be noticed that none of the ends or other portions of either of the forms of binder shown project through the covers 5 and 6, the result being that folders of this type may be placed among others of a file without any danger of one folder injuring another or catching upon another while being inserted in or removed from the file.
It is also to be noted that the construction and arrangement of the folders shown and described is such that either cover may be opened for inspection of its contents and that the sheets within the folder will lie flat and not be partly bent by the opening of either cover.
Referring again to Fig. 1 it will be apparout that should it be necessary to file a greater number of sheets than the fold 9 will accommodate, the folder itself may be divided along the edge of the inwardly turned edge 7., thus 6 separating the cover 5 from the cover 6 and the sheets may be filed or bound between the two portions, which formerly formed the fold 7, by means of suitable tangs passing through the upper fold, then through the 10 sheets, then through the lower fold and be- "ing bent to retain the parts in position.
It will be seen from the above that I have provided a binder folder which is exceedingly cheap to produce, lends itself to a great va- 5 .riety of uses, efficiently holds its contents, and may be placed with or removed from others in a file without danger of injury to either the folder or its contents.
Having thus fully described my invention,
I claim:
In a binder folder the combination of a cover portion folded back upon itself and then reversely folded to form a tang-carrying portion and a tang comprising a body portion with a pair of tangs at each of its ends one tang at each end being adapted to pass through the tang-carr ing portion of the folder and to also 1101 contents within the 'folder while the other tang at each end of the body portion is adapted to hdld contents in a group separate from those held by the first-mentioned tangs.
