VALUABLE PAPER WALLET Filed April 9, 1930 Patented DecQZfi, 1933, v i V i i Uairso srArss PATENT c rries VALUABLE -PAPER WALLET George Seelman, Jr., Milwaukee, Wis., assignor to George Seelman & Sons 00., Milwaukee, Wis., a corporation of Wisconsin] Application April's, 1930. Serial No. 442,788
2 Claims. (01. 129-41) The invention relates to wallets or holders for As in the device shown and described inUnited valuable papers and the like. I States Patent No. 1,522,146 to Henry Seelman, An object of the invention is to provide a granted January 6, 1925, the strap 13 serves to wallet or holder including means for detachably adjustably draw the flexible flap into the sheath- 5 securing therein a plurality of filing envelopes like cover member and'to retain the cover meme or other folders or sheets, and having an extenbers in closed position. The Wallet of the pression cover which not only permits a variable ent invention, however, differs iromthe. device of number of envelopes to be accommodated within the above-noted patent in several features of the wallet, but also serves as a means for retain construction. hereinafter described.
10 ing the group of envelopes in close relation. Apair of spaced flat parallel flexible thongs 65 Another object of the inventionis to provide or strips 16 are secured attheir opposite ends a, wallet of this character in which a plurality to the inner face of the cover member 10, as by of parallel. flexible thongs are each secured at means of tubular rivets 1'7, one end of each thong their opposite ends to, one or" the cover members being located near the outer edge of the flap 12,
for detachable connection with edge portions of and the otherend of the thong being located 79 a the envelopes, the other cover member serving on the thicker portion of the cover member and to enclose those end portions or" the thongs unnear the flap. The iiap with its attached thongs coupled by the envelopes. is inserted into the entrance slot of the sheath.
The invention further consists in the several The thongs 16 are adapted to receive thereon features hereinafter set forth and more particuthe edge portions of sheets or folders 18 which 75 larly defined by the annexed claims. are here indicated to be envelopes adapted to In the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 is a perreceive valuable papers. For this purpose one spective view of a closed Wallet constructed in edge portion of each envelope is provided with accordance with the invention; spaced thong-receiving open ngs 19, there being Fig. 2 is a side edge view of the closed wallet, slits 20 extending between the openings and the 80 parts being broken away and parts being shown edge or" the envelope to permit the mounting in section, and an extended position oi one of removal of the envelope. The openings 19 and the cover members being shown in dotted lines; slits 20 also pass through a folded or doubled Fig. 3 is an inside view of the wallet as it strip of-iabric 21 which is pasted within the enappears when in open position andwith the velope' along the apertured edge portion thereof. 5 envelopes removed, parts being brokenv away and The apertured edge portion of the envelope is parts being shown in section; thereby made relatively firm so that the open Fig. 4 is a detail plan View of one of the filing ings 19 can be placedrelatively closeto the edge envelopes, and V of the envelope. The edge portions of the en- Fig. 5 is a fragmentary detail-perspective view velope adjacent each slit 26 form narrow resilient 99 of one of the envelopes taken along the line tongues 22 which resist outward movement of 5-5 of Fig. 4. the envelope from its thongs but which canbe In the drawing, the numerals 10 and 11 desig laterally displaced in opposite directions to pernate the cover members of a wallet embodying it the passage of the thong into or out of the 40 the invention. The cover member 19 is proopening 19. The adjacent free ends of each pair vided with a flexible portion at one end forming of tongues 22 are practically in engagement. The a bendable flap 12 of reduced thickness adapted envelopes may beofa type shown in my co-pendto slidably fit within thecover member 11, which ing application for Letters Patent for Filing enlatter member has double walls to form a sheath velopes, Serial No. 442,789, filed April 9, 1930, now,
for this purpose. The sheath has an entrance matured into Patent No. 1,777,452, dated October slot into which the flap is inser ed. A flexible '7, 1930. I
By means of the reenforced resilient tonguesv 22, the envelopes will not become accidentally dislodged from the thongs even though the envelopes are loosely mounted on the thongs, and since the adjacent end portions of each pair or" tongues are in contact or very nearly so, it is pos sible to use thin narrow ribbonlike flexible thongs without danger of accidental separation of the envelopes from the thongs. The tongues 22 and thongs 16 form the sole means resisting outward pull on the envelopes when the wallet is open.
' When the wallet is closed the ends of the thongs secured to the thicker portions of the cover 10 lie parallel to and adjacent the outermost envelope, as seen in Fig. 2, to minimize shifting of the envelopes on the thongs, and when the wallet is opened the envelopes may slide loosely on the thongs and will lie substantially flat when swung in either direction, without need for shifting cover 11 with respect to the cover 10. The
neaop'es loose mounting of each envelope on the thongs facilitates the filing of papers in the envelope and increases the useful size of the envelope.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In combination, a binder including a cover member having a flexible flap, a second cover member forming a sheath adjustably receiving said flap therein, a plurality of parallel. flexible strips secured at their outer ends to said flap and at their inner ends to the inner face of said first named cover member adjacent said flap, said flexible strips being adapted to receive apertured sheets, the outer portions of said strips unoccupied by said sheets being enclosed within said sheath-forming cover member, and the inner portions of said strips lying parallel to and adjacent an outermost when the binder is closed to minimize soiiting or" said sheets, said inner portions of said strips when the binder is open permitting loosening of the sheets therealong and allowing tl 186? toiie substantially flat when swung in e ion.
2. A binde compiising a cover having a flexible back-for sheath presenting a slot, a plurality of parallel flexible s ps secu ed to said first cover at the inner fa e of said nap and transversely of the flexing lines of said iiap and having end portions attached to flap, said strips being 1 adapted to apertured sheets thereon, and said iiap with its esjached strips being insertible into the slot of the cover sheath and being movaoie in said sheath to adjustably expose said flap and strips.
