SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 442,395, dated December 9, 1890.

Application filed March 24, 1890- Serial No. 345,096- (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALvIN LINUS Rmco, of Chicago, Cook county, Illinois, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Sarnple-Books, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Herctofore in the manufacture of samplebooks it has been customary to place the inner edge of each collection or group of leaves between the folds of several thick paper stubs and then sew the same to a strip of canvas or othersnitable material before completing the book by putting on the covers and back. This construction makes it necessary to depend entirely upon the thickness of the stubs for space between the leaves, and, when the book is designed for the display of very thick materials, makes the cost of material. and labor of putting it together a very considerable item.

The object of my invention is to provide a very simple and effective construction for the back of a sample-book, in which, no matter whether for the display of thin or heavy goods, the space for the leaves can be easily gaged and maintained without the use of additional material intervening between the inner edges or bends of each collection or group thereof, substantially as hereinafter fully described, and as illustrated in the drawings, in which- Figure l is a view looking at the bottom edge of my improved book. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a corrugated strip used in the construction of the back. Fig. 3 is a cross-section through a group of the several parts relatively arranged but disconnected. Fig. tis a view of the back of my book with the outer covering of the same removed; and Fig. 5 is a cross-section similar to Fig. 3, showing said parts connected.

Referring to the drawings, A A represent groups of leaves, each group made, preferably,by taking several sheets of paper of a length twice the distance that it is intended the width of the leaves shall be and. then folding it so as to give it the bend a.

B represents a strip of paper or other suitable material of a width corresponding to the width of the back and of a length corresponding to the height of the book. This strip B is provided with lengthwise corrugations, and

is curved laterally slightly, so as to conform to the curvature of the back of said book. To the back of strip B, I paste a strip C, of plain paper, of about the same weight as strip B, and then back strip C with a piece of board I), made of straw, cloth, leather, or wood fiber. To the back of board D, I paste a piece of canvas or leather Z) to make what is known as a flexible back. I then take each group of leaves and place the bend a thereof in the valley between each, or, if desired, every alternate corrugation, and by means of thread or wire stitches sew the same thereto. \Vhen this is done, all that remains to do is to attach the exterior back and covers c of the book in the usual manner.

\Vhat I claim is- 1. In a sample-book, the combination of the groups of leaves A with the corrugated strip B, between the corrugations of which and to the rear bend thereof said leaves are secured, and the back and cover of said book, as set forth.

2. In a sample-book, the combination, with the groups of leaves A, of the corrugated strip 13, between the corrugations of which and to the rear bend thereof said leaves are secured, board D, and theba-ck and cover ofsaidbook, as set forth.

In a sample-book, the combination, with the groups of leaves A, of the corrugated strip B, between the corrugations of which and to the rear bend thereof said leaves are secured, strip C, pasted to the back thereof, and the back and cover of said book, as set forth.

l. In a sample-book, the combination, with the groups of leaves A, of the corrugated strip B, between the corrugations of which and to the rear bend thereof said leaves are secured, strip C, pasted to the back thereof, board D, and the back and cover of said book, as set forth.

5. In a samplabook, the combinatiolnwith the groups of leaves A, of the corrugated strip B, between the corrugations of which and to the rear bend thereof said leaves are secured, strip C, pasted to the back thereof, board D, piece of flexible material I), and the back and cover of said book, as set forth.
