the ready removal of the carbon papers from the record sheets.
This and other objects of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which like reference numerals designate similar parts throughout the several views.
Referring now to the drawing,
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a continuous manifold record packet embodying a preferred form of the invention, the sheets thereof being somewhat exploded or opened out for clearer disclosure;
F.'g. 2 is a perspective view of one of the individual record sets severed from the record supply packet, showing the multiple carbon sheets partially removed as a unit from the record sheets; and
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary perspective view of a modified form of the invention.
The record supply packet shown in the drawing consists of a pile of continuous record sheets 5-5 interleaved with continuous carbon or transfer papers 6-6, which are zigzag folded to form the packet as shown in Fig. 1. The sheets and carbon papers are transversely perforated at their folding lines I and 8 respectively, so that the record packet can be seiLered into individual record sets 9-9 (Fig. 2) after data have been typed thereon.
In order to provide a construction for maintaining alignment and facilitating the quick separation of the carbon papers from the sheets, the upper middle portions of the sheets 5-5 of the individual record sets 9-9 comprising the coinplete manifold record supply packet are provided with removably attached tabs I by cutting the sheets at Il-H to a predetermined depth and scoring or perforating the connecting line 12. The pile of sheets -5 and interleaved carbon papers 6-6 of the manifold are secured together 50 in registered alignment by wire staples 3-l 3- (Cl. zsa-la) bon papers of each individual record set 9 are provided with grip-escaping openings l5.
When an individual record set 9 has passed through the typewriter, billing machine, or the like, and the desired data entered thereon, the 5 particular record set 9 is torn off along the weakened lines of severance 1-8. The record sheets 5-5 and carbon papers 6-6 of each separate record set 9 are held together as a unit by the staple l3, thus expediting further handling and the entering of additional data thereon before the carbon papers are separated from the record sheets. To remove the carbon papers the individual record set 9 is gripped at the tabs 10 by the thumb and finger of one hand and the sheets 5-5 are gripped by the thumb and finger of the other hand at the grip-escaping openings in r the carbon papers 6-6, and by snapping the hands apart the tabs H) are torn along the weakened lines l2 and the multiple carbon papers are quickly and easily separated as a single unit from the original and copy record sheets 5-5. When the next individual record set 9 passes through the typewriting machine, it likewise is torn off along the weakened folding lines 1-8 and since the staple secures the sheets and carbon papers together, the record set may be advantageously routed to various organizations in a business establishment to enter additional data thereon.- The carbons can then be separated from the record sheets by use of the weakened tabs l0 and grip-escaping openings I5 as previously described. v
The lower left hand side of the original or top sheet 5 of each individual record set 9 is provided with a series 7 of designating marks 16 which serve as a guide so that the operator can determine at a glance when the bottom of the sheet is being approached to avoid writing too closely to the bottom edge and to stop typing at the same distance from the bottom of all of the individua. record sets when desirable. Also the carbon papers 6-6 are provided with weakened lines l'l transversely of the middle of each individual record set 9 to expedite the dividing of the used carbonpapers into smaller sheets for continued usein other duplicating work after removal from the record sheets 5-5.
Fig. 3 of the drawing illustrates a modification of the invention in which one corner of each of the record sheets 5-5 of the individual record sets 9 throughout the continuous record supply packet are perforated across at 20 'to provide weakened portions or tabs 2l-2l which are fastened 'to the interleaved carbon papers 6-6 by wire staples 22 or any other suitable securing means; the corners of the interleaved carbon papers opposite thetabs 2l2l of each individual record set 9 being cut away to provide gripescaping openings to facilitate the separation simultaneously of all of the carbon papers from the record sheets in a single drawing movement inthe manner described heretofore for the preferred form of the invention.
The fastening of the sheets 55 to the carbon papers 6-5 in each of the individual record sets 9 throughout the length of the record supply packet by means of the tabs and staples securely retains the carbon papers in exact alignment or registration with the record sheets and thus positively prevents the shifting of the carbon papers and the sheets with relation to each other.
