lNITED STATES IVILLIAM L. VOODS, OF WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN PAPER-FILES.
Specification forming part of .Letters Patent No. 46,415, dated February 14, 1865.
To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, WILLIAM L. Woons, of Washington,l District of Columbia, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Paper-Files; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description or the construction and operation ot' the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part ot' this specification.
I construct my paper-tile in its specied t'orm, as shown by Figures 1 and 2, front and back perspective views, of any size to suit the pigeon-hole, box, case, or shelf to receive it. As there may be ditterent-sized pigeon holes in groups used in portable sat'es or cases, and in vaults, shelving, and other repositories for business-papers, the tiles are made to lit compactly their respective pigeonholes or shelves.
The file can be made ot' any suitable size and ot any suitable material used by mechanics who manufacture repositories for business papers, and in form as follows:
The top a., Figs. 1 and 2, may be made onehalt or less the area ot' the bottom b. rlhe sides C are equahand are cutdiagonally from the front edge ot the top to the front edge of the bottom. The le is closed at one end, and on the closed end l is placed the label or tablet e, secured by the cleats ff. The use ot' the tablet or label is to designate the character ot' the contents ot the tile. The rings q g are to be used in drawing the ijle from the pigeon-hole or shelf.
lhe proper position of the lc in the pigeonhole is with the label or closed end out, when it closes up the pigeon-hole in a secure manner, protecting the contents from the ordinary foes of business-papers; but the tile can be reversed at will by the operator.
It' it is desired, the le can be made more secure by attaching the cap-lid h, Fig. 3, which is similar to thelids used in my les patented, respectively, the 9th of June, 1863, and 12th of August, 1862, by a hinge or hinges to the front edge of the top or bottom at 7c or k,- but for les to be used in pigeon-holes, vaults, safes, and other repositories for business-papers closing with doors thel lid IL is an unnecessary complication.
The end d ofthe tile may be perforated with small holes near the bottom and sides, which appliance serves to ventilate the papers every time the tile is opened and closed, and to throw out any dust that may accumulate in the file.
In using the tiles the operator may by a simple movement ot' the left hand draw the tile from the pigeonhole, and with the right hand examine the papers by theirtitles without removing them from the le.
Fig. 5 ot' the drawings is a portable safe or case with different-sized pigeon-holes. Fig. 4 is a section ot' ordinary wooden pigeon-holes, with the tile properly adjusted in one of its compartments.
I am aware that a tile similar to mine was invented by E. D. DODD, and patented January 5, 1850; but in his there are flaps g, I), and z', which are inconvenient and expensive. I entirely dispense with these parts, and by so doing render the tile cheaper and more convenient.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The tile box, Figs. l and 2, in its combination with pigeon-holes or shelves in vaults, safes, and portable cases, substantially as `set forth and described'above.
IVM. L. WOODS.
