'UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EDWARD IMAYNARD, OF WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
PHoToGaAPi-no ALBUM.
Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 13,696, dated August 2, 1864.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDWARD MAYNARD, of the city of Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Photograph-Albums,
which are also applicable to Portfolios, Music-Files, Letter-Files, 8vo.; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, foriniug part of this specification, in which- Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views of my improved album, representing it as partially filled with cards and closed and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the same as it appears when open.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
The chief object of my invention is to affo d a neat, convenient, and cheap substi tute for the modern photograph-albums, which are, for the most part, costly as well as inconveniently bulky.
The case or cover within which I secure the photographcards is very similar to an ordinary book-cover. being composed simply of two stiff leaves, A and B, connected with each other at one edge by the flexible back (l. This case may be covered with morocco,
velvet, or other suitable material which will give a neat finish thereto; but it is to the manner of securing the cards Within this case that my invention particularly relates, and to this end the leaves A and B areperforated each with two eyelet-holes, as indicated at a b and c d, and to the outside of one ot' the leaves, as A, is secured a loop, D, of elastic tape. lne cards intended to be placed within the oase are each perforated at two points, near one edge thereof', these perforzvions being such a distance apart as that they will coincide, as nearly as practicable, with those in the cover at ci b and c d when the cards are placed properly vwithin the cover. Into the loop D is passed a cord, e, Whose ends are provided with suitable tags, and which is of such length as to admit of its extending through the eyelet-holes a and b, the perforations in the cards, the eyelet-holes c and d, and of being tied end to end on the outside of the cover, all as clearly represented in the drawings. In tying together the ends of the cord e care should be taken to draw the cord so tight as t0 extend in a proper degree the elastic loop D. The effect of the constant tension of the elastic loop upon the oord c is such as that the cover adapts itself to the retention in a compact body of whatever number of cards there may be placed therein, its capacity being only limited by the extensibility of the flexible back C. The elastic band E, attached to one of the leaves, as A, forms a suitable self-adjustable clasp for the cover.
It will be observed that an addition to the contents ofthe album may be very readily made, it being only Anecessary to untie the cord, draw its ends through the eyelet-holes c and d, pass them through the perfor-ations in the additional cards or papers, and out again through the eyeletholes c and d, and tie them together as before. With equal ease any portion of the contents may be removed.
Although I have described my improvements as applied to a photograph-album, it is obvious that they may with advantage be applied to the tiling of letters, 85o., and to other analogous purposes.
I am aware that various portfolios, musictiles, &c., have been made wherein papers are secured by means of cords passing througii them, and also that in some instances these portfolios have been m .tde self-adjustable by means of elastic bands to which one end of each tiling string has been attached; but in all cases heretofore these elastic bands or their equivtlents have been secured to the inside ofthe cover, thereby rendering the contents ofthe portfolio liable to injury. I do not therefore claim, broadly, the invention of a photograph album or portfolio made self-adjustable by the combination of tilingstrings and elasticbands; but,
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A selfadjusting photograph-album or p0rtfolo having an elastic stra-p or loop, D, secured upon one leaf thereof, and combined with a retaining cord, c, and other parts of the album or portfolio, substantially in the manner and for the purpose herein set forth.
The foregoing specification signed and witnessed this 16th day of March, A. D. 1864.
ED WARD MAYNARD.
