PAPER-FILE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 724,237, dated March 31, 1903. Application filed December 13, 1902. Serial No. 135,036. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it mag concern.-
- Be it known that I, LLOYD W. ARMSTRONG, of Walla Walla, in the county of Walla Walla and State of Washington, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Paper-Files, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is in the nature of a novel paper file or holder for bills, statements, letters, deeds, notices, insurance papers, and other similar documents Where a number of papers are to be temporarily held in a package for selection, distribution, or ready reference.
It consists in a novel construction of foldable cover having various leaf members for inclosing the bills or other papers insuch a way as to permit their headings to be quickly and conveniently exposed and traversed without removing the bills from the holder, as will be hereinafter fully described with reference to the drawings, in which- Figure 1 is aface View of the file or holder entirely opened and displayed flatwise in a single thickness. Figs. 2, 3, 4, and 5 are views showing the successive stages of folding the various members of the file with bills in place, and Fig. 6 is a side view of the file completely folded and with the bills completely inclosed and protected and in condition to be placed in the'pocket or the desk for-reference when desired.
The file or holder ismade in six members, which are cut out, preferably in one piece, from heavy canvas, leather, paper, or any other flexible and foldable material. The members may, however, be separately cut-and united by stitching or otherwise after the manner of constructing pocket-books,and the external edges or contour-lines are reinforced or bound with marginal strips of material to resist wear andadd a certain amount of stiffness to prevent the file or holder from crumpling up.
The numeral 1 is the main base or back of the file or holder, which is an elongated rectangle a little larger than the size of bills to be held.
Numeral 2 is'a flap member equal in width at the bottom to the width of the back 1 and united to the back along its lower and lefthand side edge and adapted to be folded to the right over the lower half of the bills, as in Fig. 2.
Numeral 3 is a flap member joined to'the lower edge of the back member 1 and adapted to fold upwardly over the folded flap 2,.gts seen in Fig. 3.
Numeral 4 represents another side member, which is the same width at the lower half as the back member 1, but at the top is of less width than the back 1, its reduced width being. formed by a slot or indenture 8 cut longitudinally into the member 4 along its edge adjacent to the back member. Joined along the right-hand edge of 4 is the member 5, which is of the same size as the back 1, and joined on the right-hand edge of 5, at the upper half of the same, is the flap 6, having a curved edge. Themembers 4 5 6 (shown in Fig. 3) are next folded to the left over the bills, as in Fig. 4, but do not obscure the headings of the same, for the reason that the slot or indenture 8 forms a window over the same. The members 5 and 6 are then carried under the back 1 and to the right, as in Fig. 5, and then the flap 6 is folded to the'left across the exposed face of the bills and is tucked under and between the folds of the folded parts,'as in Fig. 6, to fully inclose and protect the bills. To expose the face of the bills it is only necessary to withdraw the flap 8o 6 from the position Fig. 6, and the bill-heads are then in full view for examination and selection, as in Fig. 5, and may be quickly run over to withdraw the one desired.
In making my file-holder I would have it understood that I do not confine myself to the exact construction and proportions shown, as
these, will be varied',to suit its application to the various kinds of papers for which it is used.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is T '1. A paper file or holder consisting of a series of flexible members one of which has a slot or indenture 8 formed in it to leave exposed the document-headings, and the adjacent one of which has a terminal flap memher 6 in line with and adapted to be folded over the said slot or indenture to completely inclose the papers substantially as described.
2. A paper file or holder consisting of a series of six foldable flexible members, one of which forms the back, another of which is joined to the side edge of the back, another of which is joined to the bottom edge of the back, and the other three members of which [0 are joined to each other and to the opposite side edgeof the back, the inner member of said three having a slot or indenture, and the outer member being formed. as a flap adapted to fold over and close said slot or indenture substantially as described.
