(Cl. 282-29) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A form mounting board having an integral clamping assembly for forms on the board and including a hingable element mounting a clamping assembly including `a slide which is engageable with a ratchet pin projecting upwardly from the board.
Snmmary of the invention The present invention relates to mounting boards for forms and the like, and more particularly relates to a mounting board construction for accounting type forms wherein novel clamping means are utilized for holding and accommodating automatically varying thicknesses of forms placed therein.
Generally the mounting board utilized by the present invention includes a plate element adjacent at least one edge of the board, the board comprising a clamp assembly mounted along the one afore-mentioned edge thereof. The novel clamp assembly of the invention comprises a rigid element hingedly secured to the afore-said one edge of the board, extending longitudinally thereof and adapted to overlie a portion of the afore-mentioned plate element. Mounted on lone of the elements is a latch mechanism and mounted on the other of the elements is a ratchet pin, the ratchet pin being aligned with and adapted to be held and engaged by the latch mechanism, the latch comprising a casing and including means to accommodate a slide. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the slide contains a projection which extends exteriorly of the latch casing, the slide including a catch engagable with the ratchet pin so as to prevent relative movement between the elements upon engagement of the catch with the pin. In order to permit the latch mechanism to be in the normally closed or engaging position relative to the pin, biasing means are provided cooperating with the slide and casing and urging the catch into its normal engagement position against the pin.
State of the prior art Mounting boards for accounting forms, sometimes referred to as forms collating boards, are extensively used in connection with accounting systems, for example payroll and disbursement records including shingled checks or voucher stubs. In the exemplified type system, the voucher stubs normally overlie a journal sheet to provide an automatic recording on the journal, of entries made on the shingled stubs. The shingled sheets, stubs or checks, as well as the journal sheets, are typically mounted on the board by a plurality of aligned and spaced studs projecting from and mounted along one edge of the mounting board, and adapted to engage a plurality of correspondingly spaced holes along one marginal portion of the sheets, stubs, etc. Generally some form of clamping means is provided to secure the forms onto the studs.
One of the principal problems associated with the mounting boards as above described lies in the clamping means used to secure the forms on the studs. The problem is that the clamps are not adjustable and consequently are unable to accommodate diierent thicknesses of forms placed beneath them without an excessive or rice i undue pressure as the compilation of forms increases in thickness. In addition, for the most part, existing clamps are diiiicult to set requiring excessive care and attention when inserting or removing forms from a mounting board. The latter deficiency is generally due to the fact that existing clamps are somewhat clumsy and diflicult to operate.
Description of the invention In view of the above it is a principal object of the present invention to provide a novel clamp assembly for use on a mounting board, particularly a board of the type adapted to receive accounting forms.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel clamp assembly for a mounting board of the aforementioned type, where the clamp assembly is adjustable so as to accommodate diierent thicknesses of forms placed on the mounting board.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a clamp assembly which is easy to release and secure to facilitate adding and removing forms from a mounting board of the instant type.
Other objects land a fuller understanding of the invention may be had by referring to the following description and claims taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a typical mounting board for accounting forms and including the novel clamp assembly of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the mounting board shown in FIG. l, with the board open to illustrate the forms held therein;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary plan view of a portion of the mounting board and novel clamp assembly shown in FIGS. l and 2;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line 4 4 of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is an enlarged sectional view taken along line 5-5 of FIG. 3;
FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along line 6-6 of FIG. 5, and as if FIG. 5 were not in section;
FIG. 7 is a view similar to that of FIG. 6 except show- -ing the clamp assembly in another position; and
FIG. 8 is an exploded fragmentary perspective view of the clamp assembly illustrates in FIGS. 1-7.
Referring now to the drawings, and especially FIGS. l and 2 thereof, a mounting board 10 comprises a main board element 12 and a hinged board element 14 hingedly connected along the right hand edge of the main board element 12. A novel clamp assembly 20 extends, in the present instance, along the left edge of the main board element for securing and aligning a plurality of ledger sheets, forms, and the like 16 therein. As illustrated in FIG. 1, in the closed position, the hinged board element 14 overlies the working surface of the main board element 12, and thus the ledger sheets 16, to protect the forms from damage or accidental marking during transport or storage of the board.
In order to provide a smooth writing surface, both the main board element 12 and the hinged board element 14 include a thin metal plate element |13 and 15 respectively having a vinyl backing 17, which backing extends beneath the plates and is of a reduced thickness in the portion intermediate the plates so as to form a exible hinge 18 therebetween.
In accordance with the invention, the clamp assembly 20 is hingedly mounted along one edge of the board, in the present instance the left hand edge 21 of the main board element 12, in order to effect a clamping action upon the ledger sheets or forms 16. To this end the clamp assembly 20 comprises a rigid plate like element 22 which extends longitudinally along the left hand edge 21 of the main board element 12 and is adapted to overlie a portion of the plate element 13. In the present instance the element 22 includes longitudinally aligned and spaced sockets 23 along the marginal edge 21 to cooperate in interdigitated relationship with the like sockets 24 associated at the terminal edge of the plate element 13. As best illustrated in FIG. 3 a pintle or hinge pin 24a connects the element 22 to the plate via the sockets 23 and 24 to permit relative movement between the elements.
In order to permit line contact of 4the element 22 with the forms 16, and as best shown in FIG. 6 the rigid element 22 has -at its opposite marginal edge, and extending longitudinally thereof, a downwardly or inwardly bent portion 25. As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, a plurality of pins 19 project upwardly from the plate element =13 along one marginal portion thereof, the pins being spaced longitudinally so as to cooperate with like spaced apertures extending along the edge of the ledger sheets or forms 16. In addition, the element 22 contains a plurality of spaced apertures 26 registerable with the studs 19 passing through the plate element 13 and projecting upwardly therefrom.
In order to secure the rigid element 22 to the main board element 12 in overlapping clamping relationship, at least one latch mechanism 30 maybe mounted on one of the elements, in the present instance two latch mechanisms are provided adjacent opposite terminal ends of the left hand edge 21. To this end, and as best illustrated in FIGS. 3-8, each latch mechanism 30 comprises a casing 31 having means, in the present instance a pair of laterally spaced longitudinally extending marginal guides 32, to accommodate a slide 33. As illustrated in FIGS. 4, 5, and S, the slide has a projection 34 which extends exteriorly of one end 31a of the casing 31, to which extension is connected a pushbutton 35 which may be attached to the extension 34 by a screw 36 and spaced from the one end 31a.
As illustrated in FIGS. and 8, the casing 31 contains rst and second chambers 36 and 37 respectively, separated by an intermediate upstanding wall 38. As best shown in FIGS. 5, 6, and 8, a ratchet pin 50 having a plurality of radially extending teeth 51 is connected to one of the elements, in the present instance .the plate element 13, and projects upwardly therefrom through an aperture 39 and into the lirst chamber 36 of the casing 31 when the lip of the rigid element 22 is engaging ledger sheets or forms 16. As shown in FIG. 5, the aperture 39 associated with the slide 33 is adapted to align with the rst chamber 36, and contains an inwardly and upwardly bent catch 39a positioned to engage at least Vone of the teeth 51 associated with the ratchet pin 50.
In order to maintain the ratchet pin in engagement with the catch 39a, the slide 33 Contains an upstanding seat element 40, longitudinally spaced from the aperture 39 and positioned to register with the second chamber 37 of Ithe casing 31. Intermediate the seat 40 and the wall 38 biasing means, in the present instance a compression spring 41, is positioned to maintain engagement between the catch 39a and the teeth 51 of the ratchet pin 50.
In operation, assuming the lip 25 is in clamping engagement against the for-ms 16, depressing the pushbutton associated with the extension 34 of the slide 33 permits disengagement of the catch 39a from the ratchet pin and permits opening the element 22 about the hinge. In a like manner, upon the insertion of additional forms or ledger sheets 16 onto the studs 19, the catch will automatically engage another tooth such as the upper tooth of the ratchet pin thus permitting automatic adjustment for additional sheets or forms placed on the board.
In order to rigidize the structure, it has proved helpful to provide a brace 42 underlying the clamping'assembly beneath the plate element 13. (See FIG. 6.) The brace 42 extends preferably along the marginal edge of the clamping assmbly 29 to add support thereto.
In order to facilitate removal of forms from the main board element 12, it has proved helpful to add an additional rigid element 43 underlying -the rigid element 22, cooperating therewith and extending longitudinally of the clamp assembly 20. Referring to FIGS. 3, 6, and 7, the lower element 43 is given a lateral width such as to permit a portion of the forms, along the left hand marginal edge thereof, to overlie the element when the clamp assembly is in its closed position. As illustrated, the lower element also includes a socket 44 littable about the hinge pin 25 and so spaced as to be interdigitated with respect to the sockets 23 of the element 22. The sockets 23 are provided with a longitudinally extending abutment 23a while the sockets 44 are provided with like longitudinally extending abutments 44a, which abutments are circumferentially spaced of the hin-ge pins from the abutments 23a. In addition, the abutments 23a and 44a are in circumferential overlapping relation and therefore, upon moving the element 22 into the open position about the hinge pin 25, the abutments engage causing the forms to be lifted from the studs 19 thus facilitating removal thereof from the main board element 12. (See FIG. 7.)
It should be recognized that While in the preferred embodiment the clamp assembly 20 includes two latchV mechanisms located near the top and bottom of the main board element 12, a single latch mechanism may be utilized in the central portion of the clamp assembly 20. In addition, while the forms discussed herein by way of example contain apertures along the left hand marginal edge, it is a simple matter to place the clamp assembly along the upper portion of the board for clamping of punched or unpunched forms.
Thus the present invention provides a novel clamp assembly for use particularly on a forms mounting board, the clamp assembly being adjustable so as to accommodate different thicknesses of forms placed on the mounting board. As is readily understandable from the foregoing, the clamp assembly of the present invention is easy to release and secure thus facilitating placement and removal of forms onto the mounting board.
Although the invention has been described with a certain degree of particularity, it is understood that the present disclosure has been ymade only by way of example and that numerous changes in the details of construction and the combination and arrangement of parts may be made without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
