JOHN WALKER, OF BRIXTON, LONDON, ENGLAND.
WRITING- AND SKETCHING BLOCK, BLOTTING-PAD, 850.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 2, 1907.
Application filed June 20,1905. Renewed May 23, 1907. Serial No. 375,272.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN WALKER, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Brixton in the county of London, England, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Writing and Sketching Blocks, Blotting-Pads, and the Like, of which the following is specification.
This invention relates to writing and sketching blocks, blotting pads and the like, and has for its object toprovide means for holding the paper or the like in such a manner that individual sheets can be readily detached or a refill inserted when required.
A writing block, blotting pad or the like made in ac cordance with my invention comprises as its essential features a board or other stiff backing and one or more plates adapted to be moved or placed over theedges or corners of the paper or the like and disposed on the board so as to clasp the same to the board in position for convenient use.
Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a plan of one form of block or pad made in accordance with this invention and adapted for use as a blotting pad; Fig. 2 is an end elevation, and Fig. 3 a side elevation thereof; Fig. 4 is an end elevation of a pad showing modified form of longitudinal plate; Fig. 5 is a section of a pad showing another modified form of longitudinal plate;
and Figs. 6 and 7 are plans of modified forms of corner plates. Fig. 8. is an end elevation of a form of the block or pad with the modified form of the longitudinal plate and of the corner plate illustrated by Fig. 1.
a and b are corner plates secured to two corners of a board a and sufficiently raised above the same to permit the corners of the blotting paper d, when placed on the board 0, to pass under the plates a and b and be held thereby. To the other two corners of the board 0 is pivotally mounted a longitudinal plate 6 adapted to cover, in its normal position, the edge of the pad and a strip of paper between the said corners. The plate e is pivoted to the board 0 by pins or screws f passing through ears g projecting downward from the ends of the plate and ears g projecting upward from plates 6 fastened to the under side of the boardat the corners.
When it is desired to remove the upper sheet of the pad the plate e is thrown back so as to uncover the edge of the sheet which can be easily taken away. The longitudinal plate e is then folded over soasto hold the remaining sheets in place.
The plate a may be angled in cross section and provided with spring clips or tongues h h at each end which are adapted to spring over convex projections h h which grip or engage the same and thus hold the weight down on the paper.
In the form shown by Fig. 4 the plate may be hinged at k to a second plate m, the plate m being rigidly secured to the board 0, and the clips or tongues h may be formed to engage with the edges n of the plate m.
In the form shown in Fig. 5 the plate e is troughshaped and is adapted to be slid along the edge of the block so as to grip together the paper and the board.
In some cases the corner plates a and b may be hinged as at o to the board 0 as shown by Figs. 6 and 7 so as to be moved to expose the surface of the paper, and in such cases the horizontal plate e may be fixed, and the hinge 0 may be disposed at right angles to the surface of the paper as shown in Fig. 6, or parallel thereto as shown in Fig. 7, and in some cases a spring or catch 10 may be provided to hold the movable part in position. In some cases rubber pads or feet q may be provided. In some cases thecorner pieces may be dispensed with and the plate disposed on two or more edges of the board, or block. The plate may be conveniently marked or divided into inches or other suitable lengths.
I claim:
1. A writing block, blotting pad or the like comprising a stiff back, right angular plates connected with the rear corners of the back and extended over the pad to hold the corners thereof, a right angular plate hinged at its ends to the front of the back and adapted to be swung over on top of the front edge of the pad, and means for holding said plate when swung over on top of the pad, substantially as specified.
2. In a writing block, blotting pad or the like, a stiff back, right angular plates hinged to the rear corners of the back and adapted to be turned over the corners of the pad to hold the same, a right angular plate hinged at its ends having spring clasps projecting downvwrd from the ends, and convex projections on the edges or the block which engage the spring clasps when the plate is swung over on top of the pad, substantially as specified.
3. In a writing block, blotting pad or the like the combination of a stiff back, right angular plates at the corners of the back which extend over the pad and hold the corners thereof, a right angular plate having ears at its ends, ears on the back to which the ears of the plate are pivoted and means by which said plate is fastened when swung over on top of the pad substantially as specified.
In testimony that I claim the invention above set forth I have affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
JOHN WALKER.
