IMPROVEMENT IN PIN-BOOKS.

To ALL wHou Ir MAY concerns: l

Be it known that I, TRUMAN PIPER, of Birmingham, in the county of New Haven, and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Pin-Book and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connec` tion with the accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to he a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in-

Figure 1, a perspective view of the pin-book closed,

Figure 2 a perspective view open, and in Figures 8, 4, and 5, detached views to illustrate the construction.

This invention relates to an improvement in the 'manner of putting up pins for use, the object being to render the pack more convenient than when put up in papers, in the usual manner; and consists in the arrangement of the pins in rows, parallel to and nearly equidistant from each other, then folding the several rows, so that the heads ineaeh row lie in succession, one slightly above the other, and securing the folds together at the lower or point end, so that each row of pins, with the fold of paper in which they are stuck, forms a leaf in the book, combined with a strip of material whiclrencloses the folds, so as to form a tiy and tuck to protect and secure the folds. i

In order to the clear understanding of my invention, I will proceed to describe the same, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

The pins are arranged and stuck to the paper, A, in rows B, C, D, Sie., in the usual manner, exceptthat the spaces between the rows are of suitable width to admit of folding the paper, as herein represented, the paper being longer than required for the several rows, so as to leave a blank space, E, at one end, and F, at. the other, as seen in g. 4; then the several rows are folded, es seen in tig. 4, so that the heads are uppermost; then, when so folded, and the point ends pressed together, as seen in fig. 5, the blank end E is folded into the last space, G, at the opposite end. After being pasted, so as to adhere thereto and secure each fold, then the blank, I, is pasted and folded, over the last-named fold, so as to cover the points, as seen in fig. 5. Thus each leat` or fold adheres to the back or binding, and is secured in a book-form. Ihen over the whole is placed another fold, I-I, ot`- paper or other flexible material, fastening the said fold to the hach, so as to form a ily in front, as seen in fig. 2, and a broader ily, I, to fold.over the heads, as seen in fig..1, and thus complete the package in a neat and convenient manner.

If, perchance at any time, any one or more of the folds become loosened from the hack, they cannot be displaced, as they may be pressed back into their proper place, and cannot be placed ina wrong posit-ion.

I do not wish `to be understood as broadly claiming the arrangement of pins upon the edge of a leaf` within a book or book-form, as I am aware that such is new new; but

What I do claim, as new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

'Ihe herein-described pin-book, consisting of the continuous strip of paper A, having thereon a succession of rows of pins, and folded, and their point endsv secured in the manner described, und having combined therewith the enclosing cover H and I, substantially as herein set `forth.

' 'IRUMAN PIPER.
