MEANS FOR ANDMETHOD OF DESIGNATING DOCUMENT-FILES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 485,025, dated October 25, 1892. Application filed November 27, 1891. Serial No. 413,261. (No model.)
be filed so that a ready access can be had to any series of said documents, the files being usually kept for reference in drawers or pigeon-holes; and it has been customary to affix designating-labels on an outer face of one of the pieces of binders board placed on the sides of each package as a protection to the documents and to give stability to the packages; but said labels by being placed on the face of the package become hidden from view when the package is placed, with others, in a drawer or pigeon-hole, and the finding of a required package is often only accomplished with difficulty,even when the documents are classified and arranged alphabetically. This difficulty is increased when by carelessness or design a package is placed in a drawer or pigeon-hole out of its proper order.
I am aware that binders or side pieces have heretofore been used for the purpose of holding packages of documents or other papers by tying said binders or side pieces by means of tape or string to opposite sides of a package. Therefore I do not broadly claim the use of such binders or side pieces for such purposes.
The object of my invention is to afford facilities for discovering at a glance the required package and for detecting a package misplaced from its proper order. This object I attain by the novel method and combinations of parts hereinafter fully specified, and more particularly pointed out in the claims, and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, being herein referred to, form part of this specification.
In said drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of several packages of documents collated in respect to geographical localities and having my designating-clip attached to of a portion of one of said binders boards with a designating-clip attached thereto, and Figs. 3 and 4 are detached perspective views of my designating-clips.
As represented in the drawings, A indicates the packages of documents which are contained between side pieces or binders B, preferably made of binders boards or some other light material that is suliiciently rigid to maintain the documents in a flattened condition and to support the package in an erect position when required. Each of said packages is fastened, as at O, by means of a tape, elastic band, or other suitable means for securing the same in a proper manner.
D indicates my designating-clip, which is attachable to an edge of one of the side pieces B, either a longitudinal edge, as shown in Fig. 1, or a transverse edge, according to circumstances, and said clip may be made of metal or of card-board, to be permanently or detachably attached to said side piece. Said clip consists of panel 1, which is arranged to lie fiatwise on the edge of the side piece B, a pendent lug 2, which bears against one face of said side piece, and a second lug 3, which bears against the opposite face of the side piece B. The panel 1 is adapted to receive a legend of a character that indicates the subject-matter contained in the package, and said legend may be stamped, engraved, printed, or in any other suitable manner applied to said panel.
with one edge of the panel 1, so that the latter will not project beyond the outer face of the binder B to interfere with an adjoining package, and the lug 3 is bent inwardly to ward the lug 2, so that the panel 1 will be offset at that side to overlap the package of documents to which it is attached. By this construction each package is rendered readily removable from the drawer or pigeon-hole without interference with other packages, said panel and lugs being integral.
WVhen the designating-clip D is made of card-board, it may be permanently adhered to 100 The clip D has its pendent lug 2 made flush the side piece BPby applying an adherent material to the lugs 2 and 3 and rubbing said lugs until the adhesion is effected.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- V 1. The method of designating docu mentfiles, which consists in forming the files into packages corresponding to the several subject-matters thereof, labeling the edge of each package, and arranging the packages side by side, so that the labels shall mark the boundaries of the 'respectivepackages, substantially as specified.
2. A device for designating document-files, which consists of a panel arranged to carry a suitable legend, said panel being bent atright angles to itself at one side to form one finger of a clip and at the other sidebent first back upon itself and then outwardly to form a second finger converging toward the. first finger, substantially as described.
3. A device for designating document-files,
V which consists of a panel arranged to carry tion of a supporting-board threforand a clip attached thereto, having its outer finger flush with the board and carrying at right angles to the board a panel arranged to carrya suit able legend and to overlap thepackage and mark the, boundary thereof, substantially as described.
