Description

July 28, 1953' J. SCHWER CLIP BOARD FOR HOLDING WRITING PAPER Filed June 24, 1952 INVENTOR. JoH/v \SCHWE-R. BYQ Z a his raeA/mr Patented July 28, 1953 -UNITED STATES vPATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.
My invention relates to clip boards and the like for holding writing paper, scratch pads, etc., and has for its object the provision of a holder that can conveniently have one corner inserted into the triangular pockets usually employed on desk blotter holders for receiving the corners of desk blotters.
The invention is particularly useful for holding scratch sheets or the like against displacement while writing thereon, when the users other hand is holding a telephone receiver.
As shown in the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 is a fragmentary plan view of a desk blotter holder showing the manner in which my invention may be employed therewith;
Fig. 2 is an edge elevational view of the structure of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a view taken on the line III-III of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the base board or plate portion of my invention.
The holder can conveniently be made of sheet metal or a plastic, and comprises a base plate 6 having lips I at its edges and bendable downwardly for engagement with the board portion 8 of a desk blotter holder, to prevent the clip board from shifting on the blotter holder when the nose portion 9 of the plate 6 is inserted in one of the triangular pockets formed by the usual leather-like pieces It used at the corners of the holder 8 and into which the corners of the blotters are inserted.
Ears I2 are struck up from the plate -6 to serve as bearings for a shaft I3 that also extends through ears I4 struck downwardly from a clamping plate I5. A coil spring I6 surrounds the shaft I3 and has one free end thereof abutting the upper surface of the plate 6, and at its other end, tension against the underface of the clamping plate I5, to thereby exert torsional stress to hold the down-turned edge of the clamping plate in gripping engagement with a sheet of paper or pad II. If the plate '6 is made of metal, it may suitably have a sheet I8 of cloth glued to the undersurface thereof.
The clamping plate I5 has a lever-like extension I9 by which it can be rocked against the tension of the spring I6 to lift the forward or jaw portion of the plate from the sheets II.
It will be seen that by reason of the triangular pocket I and the lips 'I, the plate *6 is held in all directions against shifting. Also, it
- edges of the holder 8 and sliding the plate away from the corner. to omit the lips I.
I claim as my invention:
1. A clip board comprising a base plate, a clamping plate pivotally mounted thereon, on a diagonal axis adjacent to a corner of the base plate, a spring yieldably urging the inner edge of the clamping plate into grippingjengagement with sheets that overlie an inner portion of the base plate, and down-turned lips at the marginal edges of the plate, set inwardly from the said corner, the said outer corner being adapted to be slid into a triangular pocket in a desk blotter holder and the lips engageable with the adjacent edges of said holder, at points removed from the triangular pocket.
2. A clip board comprising a base plate having ears struck upwardly therefrom along a diagonal line set inwardly from a corner of the plate, a shaft supported by said ears, with its axis along said diagonal line, a clamping plate supported by said shaft, a spring; engageable with the base plate and the clamping plate and biased in a direction to efiect gripping engagement between the inner edge of the clamping plate and the adjacent underlying area of the base plate, the said corner being adapted to be slid into a triangular pocket of adesk blotter holder and the said shaft being set inwardly from the diagonal edge of said pocket, so that the outer portion of the clamping plate will be above the pocket can serve as a leverlike extension for opening the inner edge of the clamping plate relative to the base plate.
JOHN SCHWER.
