Definitions

  • This invention relates to a strip storageenvelope and more particularly to an envelope which 1s adapted to slidably receive and store a plurality of film strips so 'that the strips may be selectively advanced from their normal storage position in the envelope to a position where images on the lm strips may be viewed, and thereafter returned to the envelope.
  • the envelope of the present invention is especially useful in receiving and storing strips of microfilm. Indeed, this is the use for which the device was originally intended and for this reason it has been specically illustrated in the drawings and will be described herein as it is adapted for this use. However, it will be apparent from the drawings and from the description which follows, that the strip receiving envelope of the present invention could be used with similar facility and advantages for storing any type of material which is used or usable in strip form.
  • the envelope of the present invention provides an improved means for storing and handling film strips and has certain advantages over the other systems mentioned above.
  • the envelope of the present invention comprises broadly a member having one or more strip receiving channels for selectively receiving one or more film strips respectively therein.
  • the member includes means for engaging each film strip when located in a channel in normal storage position therein, to releasably retain the lm strip in that storage position.
  • Still another aspect of the invention is the providing of second means for engaging the hlm strips when moved to a position remote from their normal storage position in the envelope to thereby prevent the film strip from falling out or completely disengaging from the channel in the envelope. This eliminates the possibility of accidental loss of a film strip during handling of an envelope and prevents an inadvertent removal of a strip during use from its channel in an envelope.
  • the primary object of the present invention is, therefore, to provide an envelope for slidably receiving and for storing one or more strips of material.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide 2 an envelope for slidably receiving and for storing strips in which the strips are releasably retained Within the envelope so that they Will not be inadvertently ⁇ damaged during handling of the envelope.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a device for slidably receiving and for storing one or more strips in which each strip is releasably retained within the envelope when located in a normal storage position therein and is further locked in the envelope so that it cannot be inadvertently disengaged therefrom when moved to a position remote from its normal storage position therein.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an envelope for slidably receiving and storing one or more strips, which is relatively simple to manufacture and to use, which can be formed of relatively inexpensive materials, and which is entirely satisfactory from the standpoint of its normal intended use.
  • FIG. 1 is a top plan view showing the strip receiving envelope of the present invention and broken as indicated to facilitate the illustration thereof;
  • FIG. 3 is a partial section view of the envelope taken along lines 3 3 of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is a section view of the envelope taken along lines 4-4 of FIG. 1 but showing the strip moved from its storage position;
  • the strip receiving envelope of the present invention comprises an upper sheet 11, ⁇ a lower sheet 13, and an intermediate ⁇ sheet 15 which is formed with a plurality of strip receiving channels 17, 19, 21 and 23.
  • Ilhe strip receiving channels are spaced from each other in the intermediate sheet 15 so that the distance between adjacent channels is equal.
  • Each channel is slightly wider than the lateral width of the strip to be received therein and the thickness of the intermediate sheet 15 is slightly greater than the thickness of the strip so that the strip will be guided by the channel, but can slide freely therein.
  • ⁇ a detent ZS is formed in the lower sheet 13 adjacent to the end of each channel 17, 19, 21, andw23.
  • Detent 25 is opstanding from the surface of the lower sheet and has an elevation which is greater thanthe' sheets ofeg..paper, ⁇ ibreboard, plastic, sheet metal or other materialoreonibination thereof, and the detents Z may be formedfby embossing th'elower surface lof the Vsheet 113 or by any other well known method.
  • Apertures 27 vare of a size toppermit the detent 2S to extend therethrough.V The ends of the strips are punched with a hole 29 which, when lthe strip isin its storage position, is aligned with the detents 25,.
  • the strips can be pushed down into the respective channels andnwill snap over the opstanding detent Z5 and into their 'storage position, where the detent extends through the aperture 29V in the strip as shown in FIG. 3;
  • the strip is releaseably held within the channel by the -detent 25.
  • it may be intentionally pulled ol'I" of the detent 25 and thereafter is free to slide in the channel in which it is carried.
  • the end 30 of each strip is provided with a hole 49 which is exposed by the recess 47 when the strip is in its ⁇ storage position in the envelope.
  • the hole 49 is adapted to receive a'pin or catch, not shown, but which is provided in the viewing apparatus with which the ,y envelopes of the present invention .can be used and by means of which movement may be imparted a selected one of the strips.
  • FIG. 5 One means by which this may be accomplished is illustrated in FIG. 5.
  • the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is identical inevery'respect tothe one which has been described above and shown in the other gures of the drawing except that the end 31 of the strip which has the hole 29 formed therein, is folded over to form a section of increased thickness.
  • the hole 29 extends through both possible and will become readily apparent to those skilled in the artrrom the foregoing description.
  • the detents ZSco-uld be arranged to extend from the edge of the channel into a notch formed into the longitudinal edge of the strips.
  • the section of increased thickness in the strips could be providedV by attaching or forming aY flange on the end of the strip.
  • the number and position of the channels -in the envelope can be varied with the requirement ofa particular operation. All of the channels could open on the sameV end of the envelope.
  • the folded lover portion 33 in-each channel could be merely an upstanding lug 4or other stop means for engaging the thickened part of the strips.
  • 'Ihe positioning ape-1'- tures 43 could be notches, detents, ilanges or buttons formed along either the longitudinal or lateral edges of the envelope and adapted to cooperate with the structure of the apparatus with which the envelope is to be used. Since these and lother modifications could be made without departing from the novel concept of the present inventionthe foregoing description is intended to be illustrative only and the scope of the invention is delined in the appended claims.
  • (b) means in said member associated with each channel for selectively locating any given channel a predetermined xed distance from any given reference point.
  • stop means comprisesl an element which protrudes into said channel a distance suicient to engage said enlarged section and 'which overlaps that portion of said member which denes one wall of said channel adjacent to said one lopen end thereof.
  • a ⁇ device for slida-bly receiving and for storing an elongated strip bearing infomation to be viewed and having adjacent to one end thereof an opening which is spaced from the edges of the strip and an enlarged section longitudinally spaced along the strip from said opening, said device comprising:
  • stop means located in said channel adjacent to the 2 ⁇ open end thereof lfor engaging the enlarged section 6 of said strip, upon sliding movement of the strip in the channel ⁇ to a position remote from said storage position and wherein said information is exposed for viewing, to prevent disengagement of the strip .rom said channel.
