SPECIFICATION foi'ming part of Letters Patent Ne. 658,756, dated October 2, 19o0.
I Application filed February 9, 1900. Serial No. 4,664. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ARTHUR BUCKLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Danville, in the county of Montour and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Temporary Binder, of which the following is aspecification.
This invention relates to files or temporary binders, and is particularly designed for holding newspapers and magazines in public reading-ro0m s, so as to prevent separation of the leaves and to facilitate the handling of a plurality of papers or periodicals held together by a single device. It is, furthermore, designed to facilitate the application and removal of the papers from the binder and to provide means for rendering the device equally as efficient to hold a thick magazine, as well as a comparatively-thin newspaper.
With these and other objects in view the presentinvent-ion consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanyin g drawings,and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that changes in the form, proportion, size, and minor details may be made within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of theadvantages of the invention.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of a file or temporary binder constructed in accordance with the present invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional View illustrating the manner of holding a newspaper. Fig. 3 is a similar view illustrating a thick magazine held by the device.
Corresponding parts in the several figures of the drawings are designated by like characters of reference.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, 1 designates the body of the file or binder, which is preferably formed of a single bar of Wood having one end formed into a handle 2 for the convenient manipulation of the device. Extending longitudinally of the body and terminating at the handle portion thereof is a groove 3, which forms a front longitudinal rib or shoulder 41:, having an inwardly rounded or beveled upper face 5. This groove is located adjacent to the front edge of the body, so as to leave a comparatively-broad and unobstructed rear face 6, which is inclined downwardly and inwardly toward the groove. Extending longitudinally of the groove is a rock-bar 7, which is bent intermediate of its ends into a substantially U- shaped bearing-crank 8, which is hingedly connected to the inclined rear face of the body by means of a staple or other suitable fastening 9. Each end of the rod is bent into a crank-arm 10, which is hingedly connected to the rear inclined face of the body in the manner described for the intermediate crank. The inner end of the rock-bar is formed into an upwardly and rearwardly inclined crankarm or radial finger-piece 11, which is located adjacent to the inner end of the handle, so as to be conveniently operated by the hand which grasps the handle. Although the handle has been shown at one end only of the body, it will of course be understood that the handle may be located at either end or at both ends, as may be found convenient or desirable. In order that the rock-bar may normally lie in the groove, each end of the bar is provided with a coiled spring 13, one end of which is secured to the body of the binder and the opposite end is connected to the bar, so as to urge the latter downwardly into the groove.
In the operation of the device the fingerpiece 11 is operated to elevate the rock-bar out of the groove, after which the upper edge of a newspaper 14 is placed in the groove, as indicated in Fig. 2 of the drawings, and then the finger-piece is released, so that the rockbar may be clamped upon the newspaper by the springs. It will nowbe observed that the paper bends evenly over the rounded or beveled edge of the front shoulder 4, and the spring-actuated clamp member formed by the rock-bar holds the paper against the rear side of the shoulder, as well as against the bottom of the groove, whereby the paper is held at two distinct points and thereby firmly connected to the binder.
It will be observed that by the inclination of the rear upper face of the body of the binder the clamp member is permitted to bind the thinnest paper against the bottom of the groove, and in the event of a thicker magazine the rock-bar is elevated sufiieiently to permit of the insertion of the magazine, which latter is also clamped at two distinct points, as indicated in Fig. 3, in precisely the same manner as described for the thinner newspaper. By reason of this arrangement of parts the device is equally as efficient to hold a single newspaper as well as a plurality thereof or a comparatively-thick magazine and also without straining or otherwise injuring the binder.
What I claim is- 1. A temporary binder comprising a body having one end longitudinally extended to form a handle or grip for convenience in holding the device, a spring-actuated clamp cooperating with and mounted upon the body, and having a longitudinally-disposed rockbar, terminating at one end adjacent to said handle or grip, and extended at an angle to the axis of the rock-bar and movable with the rock-bar, to constitute an upstanding fingerpieee, for pressure by a finger of the hand grasping the handle or grip, to temporarily displace the rock-bar.
2. A temporary binder, comprising a body, having a longitudinal outwardly-directed rib, i and a fiat face, which is inclined inwardly and downwardly toward the rib, and a spring-actuated clamp member mounted upon the inclined face to cooperate with the adjacent side of the rib.
3. A temporary binder, comprising a body, having a longitudinal groove formed therein, a portion of the grooved face of the body be,- ing flat and inclined inwardly and downwardly to the groove, and a spring-actuated clamp member mounted upon the inclined face and extending into the groove to cooperate therewith.
at. A temporary binder, comprising a body, having a handle at one end, a longitudinal groove terminating adjacent to the handle, and forming a front longitudinal rib or shoulder, which is beveled or rounded inwardly and downwardly upon its rear or inner side, and an inwardly and downwardly inclined rear face extending to the rear edge of the groove, and a spring actuated rock bar mounted upon the inclined face of the body, cooperating with the bottom of the groove and the rounded or beveled portion of the rib, and having a finger-piece adjacent to the handle.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
ARTHUR BUCKLER. Witnesses:
WM. G. MAIERS, BENJ. F. REMICK.
