An'object of the present invention resides in the provision of a file which is'self-clea'nin'g.
Another object of the present invention resides V in the provision of a file composed of individual laminae which can easily be individually exchanged. v
A further object of the present invention residesin the provision of a file comprising a twofaced file member and a file member holder permitting convenient exchange of the file member. An object of this invention is to provide a file comprising a two-faced file member anda file member holder permitting exchange of the file member by one single screwing operation.
Another object of this invention is toprovide a file producing powdered file dust and 'no-filings 2 of the customarytype and which automatically removes the file powder so that brushing is not necessary. 7 j
Further and other objects of the present invention will be hereinafter set forth in the accompanying -specification and claims and shown in the drawing which, by way of illustration, shows what we now consider to be a preferred embodiment of our invention.

Like parts are designated by like numerals in all the figures.
Referring more particularly to the drawing:
dividual-larninae. .The steel blades or r'ods I have finely or :coarsely indented" edges according to whether th e-file is used as a smooth file or as a rough file. One =file member may becomposed of a mixture of finely and roughlyindented-blades and can thus be adjusted for any purpose. Distance pieces and --laminae may be tightly held together by providin'g'the bolts 2 in theiorm of F screws carrying a head on oneqs'ide anda'nut on the other side as "shownein Fig. 2. or by'riv'et- .ing the bolts as shown in---Fig's. fl ands." The laminae or steel rodsjof which the file mernb er is made up may also be welded together withdiit departing from the scope of thepresentinverition as long as there is a definite clearance maintained between the individual laminae.
The 'made up file member is placed into a laterally open'holder 4 which' hasan abutment II at one end and an inclined face 12 at the other end; key 5 1s inserted between face l2 and one end of the 'file member and adjustably held in position by screw 6, whereby the file member is forced againstthe abutment I1 and rigidly secured to the holder 4. Handle is attachedho the holder in the customary-manner. if one cutting face of the laminae l is worn dug-sc ew 6 is loosened";'a'nd the -'fi-le membe turned around and again mounted to ithe 'hol'der by reugh'ten ing screw fij -In"the samemanneryone-nn member may be replaced by another. It is obvious that, with the present construction, the face of the file member which is not in operation is well protected. Since holder .5 is open at the sides and the file member is of the same width as the holder, the file is suitable for filing corners.
Instead of using washer-like distance pieces, longitudinal strips 8 of steel extending substantially over the whole length of the laminae may by used as shown in Fig. 3. The width of the strips is smaller than the width of the file laminae leaving a freely projecting part of the laminae at both sides.
The file members may be composed of laminae of different widths and assembled to form a rounded operating surface on one side and a fiat surface on the other side as shown in Fig. 5 or to form rounded surfaces on both sides as shown in Fig. 4. In the latter case, file holder 4' must have a concave face l3, and a turning around of the file member is possible.
The file member may also be longitudinally rounded as shown in Fig. 6, whereby the width in the center of the individual laminae is greater than that at their ends. If both sides of the file member are longitudinally rounded or tapered, the inner face l3 of the file member holder must be shaped accordingly; such a file member can also be easily turned around and be provided with two filing faces, whereby the one not in use is well protected.
The individual laminae may be laterally corrugated as shown in Fig. 7 or laterally serrated as shown in Fig. 8. The distance pieces 3 and 3 are then shaped accordingly as is shown in Figs. 7 and 8.
The spike 9 may also be directly attached to the file member as shown in Figs. 9 and 10. In this case, spike 9 is carried by a transverse part [4 which is riveted between the exterior blades I and 'l" by rivet l0. Blades I and I are then somewhat longer than the rest of laminae I.
The output of a file according to our invention is approximately three times as great as that of a customary file of equal weight, no matter for what kind of material it is used. The filing face of our improved file lasts many times as long as that of customary files. High quality material can be conveniently used for the individual blades or cutting edges thereof, and these can be hardened and rehardened without diificulty. All this constitutes great improvements of our new file construction as compared with conventional files.
The filing face is not filled up by file dust, even when filing soft alloys, bronze, aluminum, lead, tin, or other soft materials; this is because the material is reduced to a fine powder, and the vibration of the individual file blades causes a self cleaning of the file while filing. The distance between the individual blades and the distribution of bolts 2 is of decisive influence on the creation of the vibrations and the self cleaning effect and must be in proportion to the thickness and length of the blades and the purposes for which the file is used.
While we believe the above described embodiments of our invention to be preferred embodiments, we wish it to be understood that we do not desire to be limited to the exact details of design and construction shown and described, for obvi ous modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.
What we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is as follows:
1. In a file, a plurality of individual longitudinal file elements each having a file surface, means rigidly holding said file elements in position parallel to one another for forming a unified, selfcontained, individual file member composed of said elements, for forming a file surface composed of the file surfaces of said individual elements, and for maintaining a predetermined clearance between the file surfaces of said individual elements, and a holder provided with a handle for holding said file member, said holder having a plane abutment at each end,
said file member also having plane ends, one of said abutments contacting one plane end of said file member, and a key contacting the other of said abutments and the other plane end of said member for forcing the first mentioned end of said member to its abutment and for seeming said member to said holder and permitting easy removal of said member from Said holder.
2. In a file, a plurality of individual longitudinal file elements each having at least two file surfaces, means rigidly holding said elements in position parallel to one another for forming a selfcontained, individual, unified file member having at least two file surfaces composed of the I file surfaces of said individual elements and for maintaining a predetermined clearance between the file surfaces of said individual elements forming one file surface, and a longitudinal holder for removably holding said file member, said holder having a longitudinal inside surface and means for removably securing said file member to said holder, whereby one of said composed file surfaces is adjacent to and protected by said inside surface.
3. In a file, a plurality of individual longitudinal file elements of different width each having at least two file surfaces, means rigidly holding said elements in position parallel to one another for forming a selfcontained, individual, unified file member having at least two rounded transverse file surfaces composed of the file surfaces of said individual elements and for maintaining a predetermined clearance between the file surfaces of said individual elements forming one file surface, a longitudinal holder for removably holding said free member, said holder having a longitudinal transversely concave-shaped inside surface and means removably securing said file member to said holder, whereby one of said rounded file surfaces is adjacent to and protected by said transversely concave-shaped inside surface.
