SAMUEL AXTELL, OF ELKHART, INDIANA.
BLOTTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 487,239, dated December 6, 1892.
Application filed April 6,1892. Serial No. 428,043. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, SAMUEL AXTELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Elkhart, in the county of Elkhart and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Blotters; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to a holder for blotter, sand, and emery paper, and which maybe used as a paper-weight.
The improvement consists of thenovel features and the peculiar construction and combination of the parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and which are shown in the annexed drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of a holder embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is an edge view of one end of the holder, showing the position of the paper when its end is inserted in the clasp prior to bending the paper around the said clasp by dotted lines, the full lines showing the position of the said paper when bent over the clasp and held against the holder. Fig. 3,is an edge view of the opposite end of the holder, showing the manner of fastening the paper at this end by the slide, the operation of the latter being indicated by the dotted lines. Fig. 4 is a modification showing the clasp adjustable to adapt it for different thicknesses of'paper. Fig. 5 shows a further modification of theclasp. Fig. 6 is a detail view of the clip at the side of the holder to support the paper at its edges.
The holder A is provided at one end with a clasp, and at the opposite end with a locking-slide B and on its upper side with handle or knob O. This holder may be formed of any suitable material, Wood being preferred for the sake of cheapness and simplicity. of construction. The under side is flat, thereby the better to adapt the holder to form a paperweight. The clasp is composed of two plates D and E, which are secured to the opposite sides of the holder at the same end. These plates project beyond the end of the holder and have their ends bent in opposite directions and extended sufficiently far to pass by each other without touching, thereby leaving shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 3.
a space a for the insertion of the paper between the bent ends (1 and 6, respectively fixed; but contingencies may arise in which it may be desirable to have them relatively adjustable to vary the space a. Hence the construction shown in Fig. 4, in which the plate D is adjustable on the holder, being provided with slits d, through which pass binding-screw d to hold the plate in the located position. The opposite end of the holder has a projecting lipf, which coacts with the recurved end g of the slide G to clamp the end of the paper after the latter has been attached to and bent around the said clasp. This slide is formed of sheet metal and works in a kerf h, formed in the end of the holder. The edges of the slide are bent up against the edges of the holder to form guides g, which hold the said slide from lateral displacement and give direction to its movements. The recurved end 9 is parallel with the body of the slide and is roughened on its under side to hold the paper from lateral'displacement. The projection 9 to be grasped between the fingers when operating the said slide, is cut from the body of the said slide and turned up about as shown, and works in a recess formed by cutting away that portion of the holder above the said kerf h. The headed fastening 9 passed through slot g in the slide, holds the latter from being pushed out too far and disengaged from the'said holder. The lipf tapers to its outer end, so that the paper may be securely clamped between it and the recurved end g. That portion of the holder above the kerf h is elastic and yields to permit diderent thicknesses of paper being clamped between the lipfand the recurved end g. The paper being out the proper size has one end thrust between the bent ends d and e of the clasp, as shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 2, and is bent around the end 6 beneath the holder, the other end being inserted in the space formed between the recurved end g and the body of the slide, as The slide is then pushed in, bending the paper around the recurved end g and clamping it between the said end and the lipf, as shown by the full lines in Fig. 3 and in Fig. 1.
Fig. 5 shows a form of clasp in which asingle plate is employed, the same being secured ing around and over the end, the holder being cut away to leave a space for the insertion of the papers between the overhanging portion 2' of the plate I and the holder A. The end of the paper is inserted in the said space between the holder and the part 2' and bent substantially as shown in Fig. 5.
In some instances it has been found necessary to support the paper at its edges, and for this purpose clips J are provided and attached to the holder about midway of its ends. The lower end j of the clip J enters a depression formed in the said holder, so as to come flush with the under side thereof, sufficient room being provided between the said portionj and the holder to receive the paper which is bent into the said depression, as shown most clearly in Fig. 6.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. A holder for blotter, sand, and other paper, havinga clasp at one end and having a lip and a slide provided with a recurved end at the opposite end, substantially as and for the purpose described. v
2. A holder for blotter, sand, and other paper, having a clasp at one end and having a tapering lip and a slide provided with a recurved end at the opposite end, substantially as and for the purpose described.
3. A holder for blotter, sand, and other paper, having a clasp at one end and having the other end provided with a projecting lip and with a kerf and having a slide constructed with a recurved end adapted to work in the said kerf, substantially as described.
at. A holder for blotter, sand, and other paper, having a clasp at one end and having the other end provided with a projecting lip and with a'kerf and having the portion oftheholder above the kerf recessed, and a slide working in the said kerf and having a projection to enter the said recess and having its outer end recurved to coact with the said lip, substantially as and for the purpose described.
5. A holder for blotter, sand, and other paper, having a clasp at oneend and having the other end provided with a projecting lip and with a kerf and having the portion of the holder above the kerf elastic, and a slide having a recurved en'd working in the said kerf, substantially as described.
6. A holder for blotter, sand, and other paper, having a clasp at one end and having the other end provided with a projecting lip and with a kerf, and a slide having a recurved end working in the said kerf and having its edges bent to embrace the edges of the holder, substantially as described.
7. The combination,with a paper-holder, of
' a clasp composed of two plates which are secured to the opposite sides of the said holder and which have their ends projected beyond the end of the holder and bentin opposite directions, substantially as shown, for the purpose described.
8. In a blotter, the combination, with the holder adapted to have the paper secured thereto at its ends, of clips secured to the edges of the said holder between the ends thereof and adapted to have their ends extend over the paper for a short distance and come flush with the bottom side of the said holder, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.
SAMUEL AXTELL.
