MANIFOLDING-BLANK. Y

SPEGIFICATION'fOrming part of Letters Patent No. 760,609, dated Ma 24,1904

Application filed as 10.1903.

TO all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, HoRAoE P. B OWN, a citizen' of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the countyof San Francisco and State of California, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in ManifoldingBlanks,

rated or weakened transverselyalongthree lines and folded into four superposed sec'ztions. Two alternate sections are coated with'transfer-material on the same side of thefsheet and are folded toward the intermediate uncoated other coated section. Two ofthe sections are of greater width than the other sections to provide a margin by means of whichseveral of the blanks may be bound into a tablet or pad and to enable these sections when separated to be conveniently'secured in ,a file-holder.

The invention will be more readily underings, in whichs p Figure 1 is av perspectwe view of one of-the folded blankspartly opened .to show the ar-' rangement of the sections- Fig. 2. is aperv spective view of a blank with the sections Fig.

tofoldingit, and Fig. 4 is aplan view of the other side of the unfolded sheet.

The blank consists of a single sheet 1, which is perforated or weakened transversely along three linesr2 3 4 to provide" four sections 5 6 7 8. Two alternate sections, here numbered 5 and 7, are coated on, the same side of the sheet with a hard carbon compound or-other usual transfer material. Section 5is shown as printed on its uncoated face to provide a memorandum shipping-receipt marked Duplicate. That face of section 6 lying between the coated faces of sections 5 and 7 is printed to constitute the original shipping-receipt,

marked Original. The face of section 7 'op-' posite to that which is coated is here shown blank, but may contain any desired printed Serial No. 165,010. No model.)

the. sheet which carries the coatings is printed as a shipping-order and-is marked as such. The sections 5 and 6 are of-somewh'at greater- Width than the sections 7 and 8 to provide binding margins 5 6'. These margins are shown punched or perforated to enable the de:

tached sections to be easily secured in a file-T holder orplaced'ona file-hook without-mu- 'tilation. 2 and 3 by'turning the coated faces of the sections 5 and 7toward the intermediate section 6. :The coated-face of section 5 is shown in Fig. 1 as folded directly upon the printed face of section 6, thus providing the wider V fold, the coated face of section-7 then folded down upon the printed face of section 5, and finally The sheet folded alongthe lines the blank or rear face of section 8 folded upon the uncoated face of section 7. It will be seen that the sheet is thus folded into a double V,

one V foldbeing narrower than andlying upon the other V fold. v v a 4 In Fig. 2 the coated face of section? is shown folded directly upon the printed face of section 6. The blank orrear face ofj'section Sis then. folded down'upon the uncoated face ofv section 7. The coated faceof section 5v is finally folded upon the printed face of section- 8. The appearance of the blank thus folded is precisely similar to that of Fig. 1, except that the narrower V lies within instead of upon the wider V fold. The arrangement shown in Fig. l is preferable, since the shipping-order, section 8, can be easily and quickly raised by a drawing. motion of the left-hand thumb, to permit the introduction of a stopcard or writing-surface.

A number of the folded blanks may be detachably bound together into a tablet or pad by means of the marginal extensions 5 6" This result is preferably effectedby simply gluing a strip of cloth or paper to the edge of the binding margins of the several blanks.

In-using the blanks a stop card or sheet of stiff paper is inserted beneath the blank to be filled out and the desired memorandum is writtenupon the top section. terial on the-back of the coated sections then reproduces the writing on the'face of the duplicate and triplicate sections. The blank IOO may then be detached and the sections torn apart, or it may be retained in place and simply turned back to enable another blank to be filled out.

By the use of this blank two copies with clean or uncoated backs are afforded, while the third copy, having a coated back, may be re tained as a memorandum. The intermediate coated section may be thrown away or utilized as an interleaving carbon-sheet. The carbon coating on the back of two of the sections dispenses with the use of troublesome loose carbon-sheets. The provision of transfer material on one side of the sheet only enables the sheet to be suitably coated by passing it but once through the coating-machine.

I claim-- 1. A manifoldingblank, consisting of a sheet perforated or weakened transversely along three lines to provide four sections, alternate sections coated with transfer material on one face of the sheet and folded toward the intermediate uncoated section so that one" coated section overlies the other coated section, as set forth.

2. A manifolding-blank, consisting of a sheet folded into four superposed sections, two sections having transfer material on their back, and two sections being of greater Width.

than the other sections to provide binding margins, as set forth.

3. A manifoldingblank, consisting of a sheet folded into four superposed sections, two sections having transfer material on their back, and two adjacent sections being of greater width than the other sections to provide a folded binding portion, as set forth.

. 4. A manifolding blank, consisting of a sheet perforated or weakened transversely along three lines to provide four sections, alternate sections coated with transfer material on one face of the sheet and folded toward the intermediate uncoated section so that one coated section overlies the other coated section, and two sections being of greater width than the other sections to' provide binding margins, as set forth.

5. A manifoldingblank, consisting of a sheet perforated or weakened transversely along three lines to provide four sections, alternate sections coated with transfer material on one face of the sheet and folded toward the intermediate uncoated section so that one coated section overlies the other coated section, and two adjacent sections being of greater width than the other sections to provide a folded binding portion, as set forth.

6. A triplicate manifolding-blank, consisting of a sheet perforated or weakened transversely along three lines to provide four sections, the first and third sections coated with transfer material on one face of the sheet, the

licate forms on the coated face of the sheet, as set forth.

7. A manifolding-blank, consisting of a sheet perforated or weakened transversely along three lines to provide four sections, alternate sections being coated with transfer material on one face of the sheet, the coated end section being folded upon the intermediateuncoated section, the intermediate coated section folded upon the coated end section, and the uncoated end section folded back upon the intermediate coated section, the folded blank thus consistingof two V folds, onelying upon the other, as set forth.

8. A manifoldingblank, consisting of a sheet perforated or weakened transversely along three lines to provide four sections, al-

ternate sections being coated with transfer material on one face of the sheet, the coated end section being folded upon the intermediate uncoated section, the intermediate coated section folded upon the coated end section, and the uncoated end section folded back upon the intermediate coated section, the folded blank thus consisting of two V folds, one lying upon the other, and two sections being of greater width than the other sections to provide binding margins, as set forth.

9. A manifolding-blank, consisting of a sheet perforated or weakened transversely along three lines to provide four sections, alternate sections being coated with transfer material on one face of the sheet, the coated end section being folded upon the intermediate uncoated section, the intermediate coated section folded upon the coated end section, and the uncoated end sect-ion folded back upon the intermediate coated section, the folded blank thus consisting of two V folds, one lying upon the other, and two adjacent sections being of greater width than the other sections to provide a folded binding portion, as set forth.

10. A manifolding-blank, consisting of a sheet perforated or weakened transversely along three lines to provide four sections, alternate sections being coated with transfer material on one face of the sheet, the coated end section and the adjacent uncoated section being of greater width than the other two sections to provide a folded binding portion, the

coated end section being folded upon the intermediate uncoated section, the intermediate coated section folded upon the coated end section, and the uncoated end section folded back upon the intermediate coated section, the folded blank thus consisting of two V folds, of different width, the narrower one lying upon the wider one, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
