UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EDIVARD J. HALL AND HARRISON I. NORTON, OF BENNINGTON, VERMONT.
CLASP FOR FILE-BANDS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 405,958, dated June 25, 1889.
Application filed February 20, 1889. Serial No. 800,638. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that we, EDWARD J. HALL and HARRISON I. NORTON, citizens of the United States, residing at Bennington, in the county of Bennington and State of Vermont, have invented new and useful Improvements in Clasps for FileBands, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in confining clasps for file -bands, the object thereof being to render the clasp most easy and quick of operation; and the invention consists in the construction and combination of parts, all substantially as will hereinafter I 5 more fully appear, and be set forth in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the Views.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a file-band embracing a bundle of papers and showing the clasp of this invent-ion as in a confining engagement thereon. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the clasp as detached from the band; and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a clasp of modified construction.
The clasp device of this invention consists in part of two rectangular frames a a, one
above the other. To the one end Z) of each thereof one end of the file-band (Z is connected, and said band thence, from such portion in attachment with the ends I) of said frames, passes around the bundle of papers under the 3 5 front bar 6 of the lowermost frame a, and under and around and over the front bar 2' of the upper frame, and then under said front bar 2 of the lower frame a, but resting on and above the portion of the band first mentioned as passed under said front bar.
By drawing on the free end of the band (1, to shorten the loop surrounding the bundle of papers, the forward bar 6 of the upper frame a is drawn against the adjacent bar of the lower frame a, pressing upon and binding that portion f of the file-band which is between them and confining it against endwise movement, and the closer the band is drawn about the bundle the firmer the said portion of the band will be confined.
The device further consists in a handle or lifter g, applied on or with relation to the upper frame of said clasp, whereby the said frame may be easily raised to separate its forward bar 6 from the adjacent bar on the lower frame a, to loosen the file-band.
In Figs. 1 and 2 the said handle or lifter 9 consists of a short tape or band passed around the side bars of the upper frame, and having its terminal portions h projected at right angles to the plane of the said frame, so as to be readily grasped by the fingers and held together by a metal clip i.
In Fig. 3 the lifter g is shown as formed integrally with the clasp, and all from a single piece of wire. The wire, beginning at one end j, is thence continued in two coils, preferably square, to form the lower and upper frames a a, the terminal portion 1.; of the upper frame-coil thence being passed under a shallow loop 1, intermediate of one side bar of said frame-coil, and thence, by a portion m, crosses to the other side of said upper framecoil, engaging'a shallow loop Z thereof,thenee continuing, preferably rearwardly, beyond the rear bars of the frame-coils and returning to an engagement by an eye a thereof with said cross portion, forming a handlebar p. Said handle-bar p, when projected rearwardly beyond the rear cross-bars of the frames and substantially level with the top of the upper one thereof, may act as a lever to raise the upper wire-formed frame a, the upper and rear cross-bar of the described coils acting as a fulcrum therefor; or, if desired, the said wire-formed handle may be perpendicularly projected from the upper frame and employed as a lifter by a direct draft thereon, as in the device shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
In operation the lifter-handle, in addition to being of great utility in separating the frames for a freedom of passage between them of the file-band, also serves a useful purpose in that after the adjacent front framebars have been separated to loosen the band for its free movement, the loop of said band may be enlarged by grasping said handleto one end of a file-band, of a lifter or handle 10 lifter, and moving the clasp thereby in a diattached to said upper frame, substantially as reetion relatively away from the bight of and for the purpose described.
said band in engagement With the bars e 6 thereof EDWARD J. HALL.
What We claim as our invention is HARRISON I. NORTON. The combination, with a file-band clasp Witnesses:
comprising upper and lower frames at a, CLEMENT W. CONE,'
adapted by their rear portions to be secured JUSTIN KELLOGG.
