ed e re-+ Thisinvention relates to .a loose leaf binder, nd more "particularly to a label holder for the It is an object of this invention to provide a label holder that may .be manufactured inexpensivelyand applied to a loose leaf binderwith a minimum of time and labor. Itis a further object of this invention to provide a label holder that villremainin place throughout the life of .1 theibinderjand will not scratch or mar any surifajce with which itmay come in contact. "It is a fiir'tlier object of .this invention to provide a label holder that willenhance the appearance of the'loose leaf binder to' which it is attached. Qtherobjects' of .thisiinvention' will become apparent upon reading the .following description t ken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing inwhich:
Figure lisa fragmentary perspective view of a ldose leaf binder embodying the invention;
" Figure 2 isa cross'section on the line IIII of Figure 1 with conventional parts broken awa ""Figure 3 is a longitudinal section on the line III-III of Figure l;
Figure 4 is aview similar to Figure 1 showing a modifiedembodiment of the invention;
' Figure 5 is a cross section on the line V-V of Figure 4 with conventional parts broken away; and
Figurefi is a longitudinalsection onthe line .VIYVI of Figure 4.
' In the drawing, the reference. numerals 2 and 3 indicatea pair of coversconnectedto aback member 4 by means of hinges 5, 6 of any suitable construction. The back member consists of a backpl'ate 'Tand a hinge plate 8. The back plate 7 has a plurality of tongues 9 struck therefrom and projecting through slots (not shown) in the hinge plate 8. The tongues 9 engage a conventional ring metal 10 to hold the ring metal and the sheets 11 in the binder. The back 7 is provided with a covering 12 of leather or suitable fabric to match the binding on the covers 2 and 3. The edges of the plate 8 are curled to form hinge barrels for the hinges 5 and 6.
The label holder illustrated in Figures 1, 2 and 3 consists of a sheet 13 of celluloid or simi- .-:5 0 lar material having a pair of flanges 14 embracing the edges of the back plate 7. The sheet 13 is preferably of resilient material so that the flanges may be positioned by snapping the flanges over the edge of the back plate. The tongues 9 clamp the back plate 7 and the hinge plate 8 together with holder therebetween.
The sheet 13 is provided with an embossed portion 15 defined by a pairof parallellraised walls'1'6 connected at one end by a raised'wall no 17 and at the other end by a curved slot 18, The slot 18 is shaped so as to provide an integral tab 19 depending between the walls 16 of the embossed portion 15.
Referring to Figure 3, it will be seen thata 55 label 20 inserted through the slot 18 into the space defined by the embossed'portion' 15 will have its top edge lying against the tab 19. The tab 19 may be bent slightly so that it Will p ls's against the label "20 to prevent dislodgment of 7o the label in case the binder is turned upside down. The tab 19 also acts as a guide to facilitate removal of the label 20 from the, label holder. It is obvious that the'tab 19 may beef any desired shape. It is essential, however, in order to attain the full advantages of the inven tion, to have the free end of the tab 19 depend below the upper extremities of the'e rnbossjedportion 15 so that the end of the label 20 is accessible for removal. If the slot 18 is straight'it is generally rather difiicult to remove the label w from the holder;
If desired, a sheet 21 of foil or other thin material bearing a suitable decorative design may be P si on ad c t th ba plate i held in placeby'the' sheet 13 of transparent material. The label 20 is then received betweenthe trans: parent sheet and the decorative sheet." This ar rangement makes it possible a o achieve beautiful and'unusual decorativeefiects. H The binder structure illustrated 1in Figures 4, 5 and 6 is the same asthat previously described except for the construction of the label holder. Accordingly, the binder structure is designated by the same reference characters, and only the label holder structure will be described in detail. a
The modified form of label holder consists of a sheet 22 of any suitable material such as celluloid, impregnated paper, or sheet metal. It is roe preferable to use resilient material for the sheet 22, but many of the advantages of my construction may be attained even with the use of non-resilient material. The sheet 22 is provided with a pair of fianges 22' similar to the flanges v 14 on the sheet 13. If the sheet 22 is formed of resilient material, the label holder may be snapped over the edges of the back plate 7 just as in the case of the label holder shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3. In the case of non-resilient the flanges 14 of th a 1.3
the same purpose as the tab 19.
While I have described two preferred embodi ments of my invention in detail, it wil be understood that the descriptions thereof are illustrative rather than restrictive, as many details may be modified or changed without departing" from the spirit or scope of my invention. .Ac-
