ATTACHABLE BLOTTER FOR USE IN BANK-BOOKS, 80G.
SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent No. 472,700, dated April 12, 1892.
Application filed July 23, 1891- Serial No. 400,395. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, CHARLES DAVIS, acitizen of the United States, residing at Easton, in the county of Northampton and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Attachable Blotters for Use in Bank-Books and other Blank Books, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of this invention is to provide a blotter to be attached to a book and be movable from place to place therein, as required. As an example of this object of. the invention reference is made to a bank-book or pass-book or other blank book wherein ensemi-fixed way at the particular page, so as to be always present until the page is filled, thus obviating the necessity of the entryclerk using a separate blotter. Such an attachment, for bank-books especially, is of considerable importance to tellers and others in saving of time and in convenience of handling such books.
The invention consists of a piece of blotting-paper of suitable size, preferably the length and width of the page upon which it is to be used, provided with attached tabs or tongues, which may be made of tough paper, leather, metal, or other flexible substance or material of sufficient stiffness to adapt them to he slipped beneath the leaf between the said leaf and the binding to hold the blotter in place and admit of its ready removal for transfer to another place when desired.
In the accompanying drawings, illustrating my invention, in the two figures of which like parts are similarly designated, Figure l is a perspective view of the blotter, and Fig. 2 is a perspective View of the blotter applied in an open bank-book.
The letter adesignates a piece of ordinary tongues b and adapted for use in abook opening in the direction of its width. If the blotter is to be used in a book opening lengthwise, then the tabs or tongues 12 will be arranged at the end of the blotter. The tabs or tongues b may be made of tough paper, leather, metal, or other flexible material or substance. Any desired number of such tabs or tongues may be applied to the blotter. In the drawings I have shown two tabs or tongues applied to the side of the blotter by adhesion.
Any suitable adhesive substance may be used to affix the tabs or tongues to the blotter, or they may be supplied with self-attaching means, or extraneous fasteners may be employed for effecting their union with the blotter.
The blotter supplied with the tabs or tongues is applied to a bank or other blank book 0 at the desired place by slipping the tabs or tongues beneath the leaf and between it and the next leaf or binding. (See Fig. 2.) In the center of the book or of signatures thereof the tabs or tongues may be slipped under the binding-threads. In any case the blotter is held in place so long as desired, and then may be removed to another page or place. Moreover, the presence of the blotter. in the book serves as a book-marker, tending to open the book to the desired place, and thus saving an entry-clerks or tellers time.
I do not limit my invention to making the blotter of a single sheet, as obviously a number of sheets, and particularly of the thinner variety of blotting-paper, may be used and such sheets and the tongues or tabsbe united by metallic fastenings or adhesive substance or otherwise, as desired or convenient.
W hat I claim is- An attachable blotter for usein bank-books and other blank books, consisting of a suitable. number of sheets or pieces of blottingpaper provided with a suitable number of tabs or tongues attached to the blotting-paper and of sufficiently stiff but flexible and tough material to adapt them to be engaged with the book between its leaves or binding medium to hold the blotter in place and admit of the blotter being transferred from place to place in the book, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 7th day of July, A. D. 1891.
CHARLES DAVIS.
