MANIFOLDING DE VICE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it. known that I, OnAN M. DELESDER- Ninn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dorchester, in the county of Suffolk, State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Manifolding Devices; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to manifolding sales books.

In carrying out my invention, I have in view the provision of' a sales book of' such construction as to avoid or obviate the employment of a metal backing for the pad ot' the book such as is now employed and I attain this result by providing upon the back leaf of the book cover a clamp with which is engaged an ordinary form of writing pad such as is used in the ordinary books of this class, except for the metal backing, and I also provide at one edge of the said back leaf' of the cover of the book, a carbon clamp with which a sheet of carbon paper may be removably engaged.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the sales book embodying my invention, one of the leaves ot' the pad being turned back partly to expose the carbon sheet to view, Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the book, and Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse sectional view through the book, the top cover leaf being omitted. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view through the complete book. Fig. 5 is an end elevation of the book with the cover in open position.

As shown in the drawings, the book embodying my invention comprises a front cover leaf 5, a back cover leaf 6, the said leaves being foldably connected as at 7, and a pad 8 the leaves of which are separate except at their upper edges where they are glued or otherwise secured together.

The pad mentioned above is secured in )lace between the cover leaves of the book y means of a clamp which will now be described and which is located adjacent the point of connection of the two cover leaves with each other. This clamp is in the form of a fixed and a hinged section, the fixed section being indicated by the numeral 9 and Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed. April 29, 1908.

Patented Feb. 9, 1909.

Serial No. 429,998.

fixed section is secured to the back cover leaf 6 and the hinged section being hingedly connected with the upper edge of the upstanding flange 10 of the said fixed section as will now be described.

The hinged section comprises a clamping or body portion 11 and a flange 1Q which is formed at the rear edge of the said clamping portion and is hinged at its lower edge to the upper edge of the flange 10, there being a spring at 13 associated with the hinge and acting to normally swing the hinged section downwardly into clamping engagement at its forward edge with the pad, the said forward edge of the clamping portion 11 being toothed as indicated by the numeral 14 and being also formed with a finger piece l5 by means of which it may be raised to release the pad.

As is customary in books of this class, a carbon sheet is employed in my book and is designed to be placed between the leaves of the pad of the book and this carbon sheet is held securely in the book in position for use by means of a clamp which will now be described. The clamp mentioned above comprises a fixed and a hinged section, the fixed section comprising an attaching portion 16 which is riveted or otherwise secured to the back cover leaf of the book at one edge thereof, preferably the left hand edge and an upstanding flange 17 to the upper edge of which is hinged the hinged section of the clamp, said section being 1n the form of a strip 18 hinged at its upper edge to the upper edge of the upstanding flange 17 as indicated by the numeral 19 and rovided at its lower edge with a substantially right,- angularly turned narrow fiange 20, the function of which will shortly be described.

Springs Q0 are also provided to hold the hinged section 18 in clamping position. The carbon sheet 21 is inserted in the corner of the flange 17 and the portion 16, and is clamped therein by the flange Q0, the hinged section 18 being swung outwardly from the fiange 17 at the time of such insertion by pressure upon a finger piece 22 which is formed integral with the upper edge of the hinged section 18. After placing the carbon sheet in position and also the pad, the body of the sheet is inserted between the upper or top and next to the top sheet of the including an upstanding iange 10 the said l pad and the book is then ready for use.

In a manifolding device, foldable cover` leaves, and a sheet clamp comprisin a base portion secured to the inner face o one of 5 said leaves, an upstanding flange on said base portion, and a spring-pressed clamp member formed of a strip hinged to the flange and having at its free end an inturned flange for clamping the sheet in the corner of the base and the upstanding Harige. 10

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature, in presence of two Witnesses.
