BINDER FOR PAPERS, 80C.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 234,987, dated November 30, 1880. Application filed April 14, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MOSES KING, of Cambridge, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bindings for Papers, Pamphlets, &c., which improvement is fully .set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to a temporary binding for papers, pamphlets, magazines, &c.; and it consists in fastening, by glue or other suitable means, on the inside of the back, between covers arranged in the common book form, a strip of deal, pasteboai d, or other suitable material, about which string, cord, or wire has been wound, so that papers, &c., may be introduced under the lines of said string, cord, or wire, and thus held, or in fastening strings, cords, or wires between said strip and said back, so that they may be brought over the papers, 850., to hold them in place, and be secured by tying or otherwise joining their ends.

111 the drawings, Figure 1 shows a binding embodying my invention when a string, cord, or wire is wound around the strip placed in the back. Fig. 2 shows said strip having the string, cord, or wire wound around it. Fig. 3 is a side view of the parts in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 shows the strip having strings, cords, or wires in connection therewith, having their ends loose, to be tied or otherwise joined. Fig. 5 is a side view of parts in Fig. 4.

Between the covers A is the back B, all arranged and constructed in the usual manner of book-covers. About a strip, 0, of deal, pasteboard, or other suitable material of the required size and form to lit against the inside of the back B is wound a string, cord, or Wire, so as to leave above it the several lines a, as many as are required. After the string, cord, or wire has been wound around the strip 0 in the direction of its length the whole is fastened against the inside of the back B, as shown in Fig. 1, by glue or other suitable adhesive substance, with or without the aid of rivets or similar fastenings. The ends of the string, cord, or wire may be tied under the strip 0 or simply held by the glue. This construction will leave the several lines a so that the leaves of-the papers, 850., D, may be drawn thereunder and held thereby, as illustrated in Fig.

Sometimes it may be desirable to lay on the back of the strip U several strings, cords, or wires, fastening them to the strip so that the ends will be free, and then fastening the strip in the back by glue or other adhesive substance, with or without the aid of rivets or similar fastenings, in the manner shown in Fig. 1. In this case the lines will be drawn over the papers, 620., and tied or otherwise joined, as illustrated in Figs. 4 and o.

By my invention not only is a neat and secure temporary binding obtained, but also one that may be easily manufactured and with little cost, as will readly appear from the method of constructing the same, as herein described.

I claim as my invention- A binding in which a strip of deal, pasteboard, or other suitable material having one or more strings, cords, or wires wound around it in the direction of its length is fastened on the inside ofthe back, said one or more strings, cords, or wires being bound or clamped between and by said strip and back and secured in position by glue or other suitable adhesive substance, substantially as liereinbefore described.

MOSES KING.
