SUPPORT FOR BILL-FILE HOLDERS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters. Fatent No. 290,497, dated December 18, 1883.
Application filed February 93, 1883. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM II. TUCKER, acitizen of the United States of America, residing at Washington, in the District of 00- lumbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Supports and Guides for Bill-File Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descrip tion of the invention, such as will enable othcrs skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. I
My invention relates to devices for supporting and guiding bill-file holders or other receptacles or devices while they are being pushed into their places, or while being withdrawn and tilted, or while resting without either movement.
In order to properly support hill-file holders such as are commonly in use, I findit is not always necessary that a special case, box, or frame be made in which to manipulate them or in which they may be contained, and it is my object to do away with unnecessary expense in manufacturing cases for holding billfile holders; but when such cases or boxes are desired it is my object to provide simple and cheap supports or guides, which can be readily applied to comparatively cheap cases or boxes, whereby they are readily adapted to holding bill-file holders and at small cost.
'My invention consists in certain supports or guides for holding bill-file holders, as herein after moreparticularly described, and set forth in the claims.
Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of an ordinary case for holding bill-file holders,
showing my supports or guides attached to the sides by means of screws, the upper portion showing a bill-file holder in its place in the case, and the lower portion showing abillfile holder drawn out and tilted to a vertical position. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of Fig. 1 on line as as. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on line 3 y of Fig. 1. Fig. 4t is a view in perspective, showing several of my supports or guides formed integral or in one piece and applied to an ordinary casing. Figs. 5 and6 are views showing my supports or guides formed into bracket-arms. Fig. 7 is a View in perspective, showing my supports or guides formed into bracket-arms and connected with vertical strips i, which are attached to a wall of my supports or guides as I form them for attachment to the inner sides of an ordinary casing or box for holding bill-file holders, it
being understood that these supports or guides in this instance are arranged opposite to each other. Fig. 9 is a vertical sectional view of my supports or guides as applied to an ordinary casing. They are formed with inclined extensions, one of the boxes being in horizontal position within the case and the other being withdrawn and tilted into an inclined position. Fig. 10 is a view in perspective of one of my supports or guides having the upward-inclined extension, and showing hou it may be made double or of metal I shaped in cross-sections, showing also bracket and front strip in dotted lines. Fig. 11 is aperspective View of a metal plate or casting having a side lug which is adapted to be attached to the under side of an ordinary bill-file holder.
In Figs. 1, 2, and 3, A represents the back, and B B the vertical partitions, of an ordinary casing for bill-file holders.
To the sides of the vertical partitions I propose to secure, in any suitable manner, supports or plates 0, such asare shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 8. These are arranged opposite to each other, in order to carry bill-file holders so that they may be pushed in or drawn out, tilted, or removed at pleasure. Each of these supports or guides has a vertical web, and is formed on the upper side with a laterally-projecting flange or rib, d, which rib has an opening or cutaway portion, 1), near the front end. This laterally-projecting flange (Z, I in some cases or instances continue forward, downward, and backward, as shown at d, as in Fig. 8; but it is not always necessary that the part cl should continue throughout the entire length of the support 0, as a short portion, d, as in Figs. 5 and 6, will sometimes answerthe purpose. I generally make of metal, and they should be of such length and strength as to allow the free insertion of the box into its chamber and serve as a proper support for the same. To the front portion of these supports 0, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4i, 7, and 8, I generally secure the transverse L- shaped barf, as indi- These supports or guides IOO 2 sooner cated in Figs. 1, 4, and 7, for additional security and strength, and to keep the supports or guides in proper relative position, also to hold the vertical partitions in proper position.
To the base or bottom board of any ordinary bill-file holder or other box or receptacle I secure the metal parts J, having side lugs, e, which are to engage with any of my supports or guides, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 8 of the drawings. In lieu of these castings J, having side lugs, a single cross-bar with similar end lugs, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 3, may be used to effect the same result. These side lugs, 6, it will be observed, are usually curved downward, or arranged in a different horizontal plane from the part J, so as to make the connection with the sup; ports or guides by dropping automatically through the cutaway portion Z) in plates 0, and passing under flanges d and into the guidepassages of the supports as the box or bill-file holder is being moved horizontally inward.
This makes operative connection between the box and the supports while the box is being moved to and fro, after which the bill-file holdermay be drawn out, and the parts 6, striking against the vertical flange (Z will be prevented from becoming displaced or being drawn out entirely, the upper lateral flange d always serving to prevent the bill-file holder from being displaced as it is being moved backward and forward on the supports or guides. The bill-file holder, when withdrawn and tilted into a vertical position, as shown in Fig. 1, is prevented from displacement, as the lugs 0 rest in theforward ends of the space below flange 01 and against the vertical part 61*.
This construction of my supports or guides performs several important offices, to wit: It retains, guides, supports, regulates, and determines the positions and movements of the bill-file holder. The open spaces or cut-away portions 1) in the flanges (Z permit the removal of the bill-file holder from the supports, for when the parts 6 are caused to register with these cut-away portions b, by slightly raising or lowering the front of the box or bill-file holder the lugs are disengaged, and the box may be withdrawn at will. a In some instances it is desirable to tilt the bill-file holder to an inclined position, as shown by Fig. 9 of the drawings, instead of tilting it into a vertical position, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. Therefore I may form my supports or guides with an upward inclined extension, I, into which lugs or extensions 6, attached to the rear part of the bill-file holder, will enter. In this case the bill-file holder will become tilted by its own weight, and, striking against the horizontal portions of the support or other object, will be held in an inclined position, as shown in Fig. 9 of the drawings.
As a further result of the downward curve of the lugs e, by which they are made to rest in a different horizontal plane from that occupied by the parts J, the front ends of the supports or guides C may be set back from the front or face of a casein such manner as to admit of the finishing transverse angularshaped barf, which may be made of wood or metal or other well-known material,and when the file-holder or other similar object to which bar or plates J are attached is moved forward in the guideways G to the downward end flange, d", the downward-projecting curved lugs e cause the object to which plates or bar J is attached to be carried upward and forward while being drawn out and tilted and while resting in a horizontal position in such a manner as to prevent contact between the transverse angular bar f and the bottom of the object to which parts J are attached, and by this transverse bar f all the parts are concealed from view, thus adding to the finish of the device.
My supports or guides G, as shown in Figs. 5 and 7, are provided with vertical rear plates, 2', and these may be long or short, and are perforated, whereby they may be held by means of screws to a back wall or other object, and thus support the part 0 in a rigid horizontal position. In this instance it will be perceived that no casing is necessary in order to provide means for supporting and conveniently manipulating bill-file holders.
My support or guide in Fig. 6 is intended as one of a series; hence formed with a lip, k, and a plate, 6, so that part can lap over the upper edge of a board or other device, N, and be thereby securely held in position.
My supports or guides shown in Fig. 8 are adapted for application to the sides of any vertical partitions or other side walls or parts, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3 of the drawings, and are perforated, so as to be readily attached by means of screws. In some instances I find it well to use the angular or other shaped strips f for connecting the supports 0 together, so as to make them firm and keep them in position and prevent the lugs on the bill-file holder from becoming cramped.
I may form my supports or guides of cast metal; or they may be stamped out, and, as I said before, the lower lateral flange, (1, may or may not continue the entire length of the supports or guides. WVhere it is continued it gives additional strength.
It is obvious that my supports or guides can be used in connection with other classes of furniture than bill-file holders. They may be applied to library-shelving, alcove-frames, or cases, and serve the same office as herein described in connection with drawers or other receptacles.
I do not desire to limit myself to a particular location of the cut-away portion b as it may be at any part of the flange (Z; but I pre-' fer to locate it over the lower flange, (1, whether that be short or long.
I reserve the right to vary the construction of the parts without departing from the spirit of the invention. I
What I claim is i 1. A support or guide, 0, consisting of a vertical web, horizontal flange d, flange d,
IIO
and vertical flange cl, the flange (1 being out away, as at b, and the flange (1 extending to the rear of out-away portion 12, as set forth.
2. In a case for paper-file holders, the combination of, the support or guide 0, provided Withflange d, with the continued end flange, (Z and the flange d, erttending backward, with suitable bar or plates, J, having ears or lugs 6, attached to a paper-file holder or similar receptaole, as set forth.
3. In combination with a support or guide, 0, formed with guideways, and provided with the forwardly-inclined extension h, suitable plates or bar, J, having lugs 6, attached to a paper-file holder or similar receptacle, as and for the purpose set forth.
4.. In combination with a support or guide, (3, formed with guideways, consisting of parts (1, cl, and d partd being out away, as at Z1, and provided with forwardly-inclined extension h, suitable bar or plates, J, having lugs e, attached to a paper-file holder, as and for the purpose set forth.
5. In a case for bill-file holders, supports 0, provided with flange d, with the continued end flange, (Z and flange (1, extending back ward, with suitable bar or plates, J, having ears or lugs e, attaohed to a paper-file holder or similar receptacle, and transverse or finishing barf, as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
WILLIAM H. TUCKER.
