BLOTTER. (Application med Oct. 10, 1898.)
(No Model.)

BLOTTE'R.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 627,479, dated June 27, 1899.
Application filed October 10, 1898.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FREDERICK O. BUTLER, of Malden, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Blotters, of which the following is a specification. I
This invention has for its object to produce at a relatively small expense a simple, durable,serviceable, and convenient blotter adapted for desk use.
The invention consists of the improvements which Iwill now proceed to describe and claim.
Of the drawings accompanying this specification, Figure 1 represents a View of the blank or strip from which the frame or holding por tion of the blotter is made. Fig. 2 represents a perspective view showing the blank bent into the form of a holder. Fig. 3 represents a perspective view of a blotter embodying my invention. Fig. 4' represents a view similar to Fig. 2, showing means for detachably securing a blotting-pad to the holder. Fig. 5 illustrates a construction which permits the holder to be folded for shipment. Fig. 6 represents the construction shown in Fig. 5 after the completion of the holder.
The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all of the figures.
My improved blotter includes a frame or holder for a blotting-pad a, which frame or holder is constructed from a single strip .9 of flexible material, such as cardboard, the said material being sufficiently thick to afford the desired strength and to give the curved front cl, hereinafter described, a sufficient degree of resilience in order that it may give the pad a a suitable yielding support. The strip 8 is bent along two transverse lines 2 2 near its ends to form a brace 17, projecting inwardly from the back a of the holder. The strip is also bent along two intermediate lines 3 3 to form the ends of the back 0 and of the front or pad support d. It will be seen that when the strip is bent as above described and the two parts of the strip that constitute the back a are secured together by suitable means the holder will have the form shown in Fig. 2, the back being substantially flat, while the front will constitute an arch springing from the ends of the back and having its central portion supported by the brace b. The ends of the two parts constituting the brace 17 may rest $erial No. 693,076. (No model.)
loosely on the inner surface of the front d, said parts being held in contact with each other by their tendency to swing back to their normal positions after they have been bent from the body of the strip.
In Fig. 3 I show as the means for securing together the two parts of the back 0 a paper strip f, which extends across the joint between the two parts of the back and is glued or cemented to the inwardly-turned ends of the pad (1, which ends are in turn preferably glued 4 to the two parts of the back 0.
In Fig. A I show as the means for securing together the two parts of the back 0 a backplate 6 of sheet metal, having cars a e at its ends, which are formed to extend over upon the end surface of the front d. The backplate 0 and its ears 6 are formed to confine the end portions of the pad a against the back 0 and against the end portions of the front (1. The pad in this case will not be glued to the back.
The back-plate e is preferably. removable, so that it can be slid off to permit the removal of the blotting-pad and the application of a fresh one to the holder.
In Fig. 5 I show the pad-holder partially completed and in condition to be compactly folded for shipment by mail or otherwise. In this case one of the parts of the back is provided with a thin paper strip i, aportion t of which is glued to one of the parts of the back, the other portion 25 being left loose and having its inner surface gum med. A holder thus constructed may be completed by bending the parts of the back inwardly and abutting them against each other and then moistening the gummed flap t and securing it to the back, the two parts of the back being then. secured together by the strip 25, as shown in Fig. 6. The blotting-pad may be secured to the holder constructed as shown in Fig. 6 by means of a sheet-metal back-plate e, such as that shown in Fig. i.
The construction last described enables the blotter to be conveniently mailed and set up in use by the recipient.
' It will be seen that the blotter constructed as described is simple and cheap and that the pad is yieldingly supported by the parts of the front which extend between the brace 11 and the ends of the back, the front being suitably crowning to permit the pad to bear properly on the surface to be treated by the blotter.
1. A blotter-holder comprising a back, a brace projecting from the inner surface of the back, an arched front or pad support, connected at its ends to the back, and hearing at its central portion on said brace, said back, brace, and front being made from a single strip of flexible material bent on transverse lines near its ends to form the brace, and on two intermediate transverse lines to form the ends of the back and front, and means for securing together the portions of the strip that compose the back.
2. A blotter comprising a back, an arched front and a brace for the front, projecting from the back, all formed'as described, from a single strip of flexible material, a blottingpad covering the arched front, and bent over onto the back, and a connecting-strip engaged with the end portions of the pad, and extending across the joint between the two parts of the back.
3. A blotter-holder comprising a back, a brace projecting from the inner surface of the 4. A blotter comprising a back, an arched front and a brace for the front, projecting from the back, all formed as described, from a single strip of flexible material, a blottingpad covering the arched front, and bent over onto the back, and a sheet-metal connectingstrip covering the back and having ears atits ends projecting over the end portions of the front.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
FREDERICK C. BUTLER.
