' UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN E. SCIIONACKER, OF SPRINGFIELD, OI'IIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE BOOK METAL COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.
SPECIFICATION forming: part of Letters Patent No. 401,909, dated April 23, 1889.
Application filed March 17, 1888. Serial No. 267,550. (Morlel) To all whom it may concern.:
Be it known that I, J oHN E. ScHoNAcKEn, a citizen of the United States, residing at or any other pad.
My invention consists in the various constructions and combinations of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a pad-book embodying Fig. 2 is a partial sectional elevational view of the same, showing the method of attaching the sections in the book so that the same may be readily removed therefrom and new pads added when the blanks or sheetsof which the said pad is composed are exhausted. Fig. 3 is a perspective view in detail showing the manner of attaching the pads to the section-holders. Fig. 4 is a detail view in perspective showing the method of securing the section-holders vand their attached pads. Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation view in detail showing the method of attaching the binding-strips which retain the section-holders. Fig. 6 is an elevation view, partly in section, showing the method of attaching the fastening device to the respective pads. Fig. 7 is a partial longitudinal sectional View of the pad-attaching device and the section-holding device. Fig. Sis a perspective view in detail showing a modified form of case or cover in which the respective parts are retained.
Like parts are indicated by similar letters of reference throughout the several views.
In the said drawings, A represents the respective pads, each of which is made up of any desired number of sheets or blanks, t0 one end of which is attacheda plate, a, preferably of tin or other suitable material, and provided with flexible extensions a', which may be formed-by punching out the material of the strip or be made separate, as desired. Each of the pads is secured to asection-holding device, B, supported in the cover or case O in the manner hereinafter described.
The section-holders B each consists, preferably, of a strip of metal having the edges folded in, as shown in Fig. 3, and provided with openings a2, through which the projecting cleats a are adapted to extend. The respective pads are secured to the holding-sections B by passing the said cleats a through the openings a2 and bending the points down, as shown in Figs. 4 and 7.
The section-holders B are secured in the cover O, preferably by means of parchment strips D, any suitable number of which may be used. rlhese parchment strips D pass through openings b in the folded edges b of l the section-holders B. The cover O is preferably formed of three parts, O, C', and C2, the bottom portion, O2, and the middle portion, O, being connected together at either side by a hinge, C3. These hinges C3 each consists of two metallic sectors, pivoted together at the bottom at the point cand connected together In making up the pad-book the parchmentv binding-strips D are secured to the lower por-A` tion C2 of the cover the side stri s bein0V preferably placed under the metal portion of' one of the hinged sectors, as shown in vFigi 4, the said sectors being secured tothe bottom portion, C2, by rivets, cleats, or in any other suitable manner. The section-holders are then placed on the parchment strips, a flexible cover or fly-leaf, E, being placed between each of the section-holders in the series. When a sufficient number of section-holders are placed in the series to provide for the desired number of pads, an additional fiy-leaf or cover is added, and the parchment strips IOC D passed upward through the same, thence down through said ily-leaf, and, if desired, may be secured in the inner side thereof by a small rivet or pin, d. (Shown in Fig. 5.) The section-holders being placed in position the pads may be secured thereto by passing the projections c in each pad through the section-holders and clinehin g the same, as before described; or, if desired, in the first instance the sectionholders maybe first clinched to the pads and afterward arranged in series in the manner set forth.
In securing the plates a to the pads A, I rst preferably fasten securely to the strip a, by gluing or otherwise, a piece of cloth, a3, and this I glue or paste firmly to the end of the pad A, after which I place a 'binding-strip of cloth or othersuitable material around the plate a and paste the ends securely to the top and bottom of the pad A. r[he fly-leaves or division-strips E, I preferably make double, so that a ily-leaf or cover is formed atthe top and bottom of each pad. These fly-leaves or covers may be made of any suitable flexible material and formed of a single piece or of two pieces connected together at the end by a suitable flexible hinge, through which the parchment strip D is adapted to pass.
In order to prevent the section-holders and their attached pads from falling forward as the pads are reduced in thickness by the removal of sheets or blanks therefrom, I preferably extend the section-holders beyond the sides of the pads suiiieient to permit them to come against the rear edges, f, of the front sector of the hinge C3, as shown in Fig. 7 or, if desired, a separate flange, j", as shown in Fig. 4, may be provided, against which the edges of the sectionholders are adapted to rest, and thus hold the same at all times in alignment with each other. rlhe lower section-holder, being stationary, is )referably provided with a fastening-strip, f'-, at right angles to the main portion, and is riveted or otherwise secured directly to the bottoni C2 of the cover or casing. (See Fig. 2.)
In most eases in binding the detachable pads and section-holders together it will be found sufficient to fasten the end of the binding-parchment D by passing it through the upper cover or ily-leaf, as described, without any other fastening, though any additional fastening may be provided, if desired.
It will be seen that by the construction thus described a pad-book will be formed in which a sheet or blank from any pad may be removed without destroying the sheets in the same or other pads, the pads being connected together through the section-holders by means of the flexible parchment strips, which are independent of the back or cover, and the pad-book may be turned to any position and lie perfectly flat, so that the surface of any pad will be exposed in a convenient position for writing thereon.
Byhaving the detachable connections between the pads and the section-holders any pad may be removed when the blanks or leaves therein'are exhausted, and a new pad inserted without disturbing the other pads ot' the series. By having the removable section-holders as set forth the number of sections forming the pad-book maybe increased or diminished as desired, so that a larger or smaller variety of blanks may be inclosed within the same cover of the book by removing one set of section-holders and inserting another set adapted to hold smaller or larger pads, as the case may be, so that a greater or less number of sections will fill the case or covers.
If desired, the cover C may be rovided with sides e and an end portion, E so that when closed the pads or blanks will be completely inclosed thereby.
It is obvious that various other modifications may be Aemployed in the constructions herein set forth, as will readily suggest themselves to the mind of an ordinary mechanic. I do not, therefore, limit myself tothe constructions herein shown and described; but
I claim as my inventionl. A pad-book composed of a series of section-holders hinged together independently of the case or cover and provided with detachable pads, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination, with the ease or covers, of eXible binding-strips and the removable seetion-holders having the folded edges, as described, and openings through which said binding-strips are adapted to pass, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
3. The combination, in a pad-book, of the removable sectionholders joined together by the flexible strips, and the detachable pads secured to said sectionholders, substantially as set forth.
4. The combination, in a pad-book, of a series of pads each provided with a metallic plate secured to one end thereof and having flexible projecting points or cleats adapted to pass through a section-holding device and be clinched thereto, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
5. The combination, in a padbook, of the sectionholders having the folded edges and arranged in series, of the flexible strips, as described, and the detachable pads, each having the metallic plate and projecting points or cleats, said points or cleats being adapted to pass through openings in said sectionholders and be clinched thereto, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
G. The combination, in a pad-book, with the cover formed of three parts, the bottom and end portions of which are hinged together by pivoted sectors, one of which is provided with a slot-ted opening and the other withastationary pin or stud adapted to move in said slot, of a series of section-holders secured to said cover adapted to turn independent thereof,

and detachable pads connected to said seetion-holders, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
7. The combination ,Withthe section-holders having a metallic plate with proj eetin g iiexible points or cleats, said plate being iirst covered With a strip of cloth glued or otherwise firmly secured to the end of said pad, of a bindingstrip passed around said cloth-covered plate and the ends thereof glued or otherwise seclinched for the purpose of holding said pads in position on said section-holders, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
9. The combination, with a ease or cover, of the series of section-holders and their attached pads, said section-holders being extended beyond the sides of said pads and adapted to rest against a iange or projection to keep the same in line, as set forth.
10. The combination, with the covers of a l book or oase, of a hinge formed of pivoted sectors, one of which is provided with a stud adapted to operate in a slotted opening in the other, substantially as and forthe purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 8th day of March, A D. 1888.
