ATTORNEYS United States Patent 3,279,474 BINDER FILE AND TAPE FOR THE MANUFAC THEREOF Joseph D. Toman, P.O. Box 433, Ellsworth, Kans.; James L. Quinn, trustee of the estate of said Joseph D. Tomau, bankrupt Original application Oct. 25, 1960, Ser. No. 64,791, now Patent No. 3,212,505, dated Oct. 19, 1965. Divided and this application Oct. 18, 1965, Ser. No. 497,373 2 Claims. (Cl. 129-19) This is a division of application Serial Number 64,791, filed October 25, 1960, now Patent Number 3,212,505.
This invention relates to loose leaf binders and to loose leaf binding tapes.
The present invention relates to that general class of binder employing gummed tabs to which leaves or sheets may be adhesively secured, and it has for its object, first, the provision of a continuous binder strip of paper or textile material having gummed portions which can be partially severed to produce tabs to which leaves or sheets may be adhesively secured, without disturbing the remaining portion of the continuous binder; second, more particularly, a continuous gummed binder strip having successive lines of perforations delineating tabs that may be partially severed to freely project for the adhesive attachment of sheets or leaves without disturbing the remaining portion of the strip; third, a backing or folded cover the portions of which are joined by an inwardly folded leaf-holding means located between the cover portion and the back portion.
The invention relates also to binding hinges of the type adaptable for securing a loose leaf in a book, for securing sheets of music in a folder, or for similar purposes, and the objects of the invention include the provision of a secure form of binding member which may be economically formed of a single piece of material and may be attached with great facility.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following disclosure thereof.
In the drawings:
FIGURE 1 is a plan view showing a form of the mounting tape which may be employed alone or in the construe tion of a binder file; and FIGURE 2 is a sectional view of FIGURE 1.
For a fuller description of various forms of the overall disclosure pertaining to this invention reference should be had to Patent 3,212,505, issued to Joseph D. Tornan on October 19, 1965, the present disclosure having been shown in said patent as one form of the invention.
In the embodiment of the invention shown in FIG- URES 1 and 2, the tape is provided with additional folds in order to accommodate larger filing requirements. Employing a folder of the size just described and sheets of paper of the size just described, this embodiment may be employed to accommodate a greater number of looseleaves, than heretofore. As previously disclosed, the tape in this embodiment is made of paper or suitable textile material in designated lengths or in rolls, the tape extending lengthwise as in FIGURE 1. The tape has on its upper surface marginal edge portions 50 and 51 which are coated with an adhesive or a gum and adapted for attachment to the cover and back portion 11 of a binder. Two ungummed spacing portions 52 and 58 lie inwardly of and adjacent to each of said marginal edge portions 50 and 51. A third ungummed spacing portion 55 includes the median line of the tape and is equally spaced from each of said gummed marginal edge portions 50 and 51. A gummed portion 54 extending throughout 3,279,474 Patented Oct. 18, 1966 the length of the tape lies outwardly of and adjacent to the ungummed spacing portion 55. Another gummed portion 57 lies inwardly of and adjacent to the second ungummed spacing portion 58. Two ungummed portions 53 and 56 extending throughout the length of the tape are provided; one 53 lying inwardly of and adjacent to the first ungummed spacing portion 52; the other 56 lying outwardly of and adjacent to said third ungummed spacing portion 55. The tape is scored and cut at evenly spaced intervals along its length, the cuts being shown at 59, 59, 59, 59. These cuts are made at right angles to the gummed marginal edge portions 50 and 51 and the cuts are confined to the gummed and ungummed portions 54, 57 and 53, 56. FIGURE 2 depicts the manner of using the tape for permanently binding loose-leaves or sheets of material.
It is to be understood that either a glue or a pressure sensitive or other adhesive may be employed in the manufacture of the tapes herein disclosed, the only requirement being that of relatively permanent adhesion to the binder.
As many changes could be made in the above constructions and many apparently widely different embodiments of my invention within the scope of the claims, could be made without departing from the spirit or scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the accompanying specifications and drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
I claim:
1. For use in a binder, a leaf-holding means comprising a strip of tape which is continuous and of paper or textile material and adapted for severance into a strip of suitable length without disturbing the remaining portion of said continuous strip of tape and having on its upper surface marginal edge portions which are gummed and adapted for attachment to the cover and back portion of a binder, two ungummed spacing portions each lying inwardly of and adjacent to each of said marginal edge portions, a third ungummed spacing portion including the median line of said tape and equally spaced from each of said gummed marginal edge portions, two gummed portions extending throughout the length of said tape one lying outwardly of and adjacent to said third ungummed spacing portion, the other lying inwardly of and adjacent to said second ungummed spacing portion, two ungummed portions extending throughout the length of said tape one lying inwardly of and adjacent to said first ungummed spacing portion, the other lying outwardly of and adjacent to said third ungummed spacing portion, said strip of tape being cut at evenly spaced intervals along the length thereof at right angles to said gummed marginal edge portions and said spacing portions and in the region of said gummed and ungummed portions only.
2. A leaf-holding means as claimed in claim 1 in which the severed length of tape is adapted to be folded along each of the longitudinal lines defining the juncture of said gummed and ungummed portions of said tape to form bight portions and in which the cuts at evenly spaced intervals along the length of the tape are in said bight portions.
