BOOK-MARK.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 14;, 1906.
Application filed July 14, 1902. Serial No. 115,416.
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMEs A. WALSH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Book Marks, of which the following is a specification.
The habit of many people of turning down a corner of the leaf of a book, or of making notations on the pages of abook, or of insert ing scraps of paper or other devices between the leaves in order to mark particular passages, or in order to mark the place where reading has been left off, results in a disfigurement of the book which is decidedly objectionable. On the other hand, it is difficult to charge ones memory with the number of a page to which one desires later to refor; and the object of my invention is there fore to provide a cheap yet efficient marking device which may, if desired, be placed separately on the market, preferably in such form that it may be attached to the inside cover or fly-leaf of a book or may be made as a permanent portion of the book at the time it is constructed.
The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.
Figure 1 is a front elevation showing the counter-disks in position to record page 150. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the counterdisks in position to record page 1795. Fig. 3 is a View showing the provision of a plurality of my improved counters in a single book likely to be used by several readers who may desire to refer to different portions of the book, and Fig. 4c is a partial sectional detail on line 5 5 of Fig. 1.
In the drawings, A indicates a base, preferably brought to a point B, which is adapted to extend beyond the periphery of a disk C,
i which is provided on its face with divisions D, preferably arranged in a circle and preferably one hundred in number, running from zero to ninetynine. Divisions D may be individually or otherwise numberedsay by fivesas indicated in the drawings. A second disk E is of such size as to lie within the circle formed by the divisions D and is provided with a plurality of numbered divisions F, which are intended to indicate hundreds. In the form shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4 disks E and O are pivoted to the base A by means of a common eyelet G, the arrange= ment being such that the base A may be pasted to any desired portion of a book, the several parts being comparatively thin, (pa per, celluloid, or any other material being the material from which the parts are preferably made.) I
As a separate article of manufacture the device will be placed on the market in the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the base A being provided, if desired, with mucilage on the back in order that it may be easily attached within a book.
In operation the reader desiring to make record of a page to which he may refer at a later time turns the disk 0 until the number corresponding to the units of the page lies opposite the pointer B and then turns disk E until the numeral corresponding to the hundreds lies opposite the pointer. When a page is less than hundreds, disk E is turned to zero, and when a hundred or hundreds even disk 0 is turned to zero.
The disks are not easily displaced, so that when once set in a desired position they will remain so long as desired. By arranging the units upon one disk and the hundreds upon another the device may be made quite small, yet of large capacity, so as to be fit to be used in connection with books of any size, and several of the counters may be placed upon a single page or inside cover of a book, as shown in Fig. 3, without inconvenience, thus making it possible for several readers to make simultaneous records of the pages to which they desire later to refer or a single reader to record different pages.
I claim as my invention- A book-mark consisting of a pair of concentric disks one smaller than the other, one bearing unit-indications and the other bearing hundreds-indications, and a base having a portion which extends beyond the periphery of the larger disk to serve as a pointer, means for rotatably supporting the disks upon the base, and an adhesive backing on said base.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal, at Indianapolis, Indiana, this 12th day of July, A. D. 1902.
