Letters Patent No. 91,570, dated June 22, 1869.
BOOK-COVEAR PROTECTOR.
.. Memo-* The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and `making part ofthe same.
Toll whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALFRED L. SEWELL,'of the city of Chicago, iu thel county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented a certain newv and useful Device for Protecting the Corners of Books during transportation; and I do hereby declare that the following is va full, clear, and exact description'thereof', reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a partof this specication, inV which Figure 1 represents a book, with my device applied;
Figure 2 represents one .foi-m, detached;
Figure 3, another form, detached;
Figure 4, a blank cut for bending into theforms A and B' Figiire 5, a blank cut for forming D and Figure 6, a blank cut for bending into the form shown at 0of fig. 1.
The nature o i' my invention consists in constructing'a small, light, and stiff device to t over the corners of books, to prevent injuring them when transported singly by mail, express, or otherwise, or in small packages.
It usually happens, from the rough handling' thatl books receive, or from heavy weights being placed on them, that the corners of thecovers or'lids are crushed or broken down, so as to be permanently injured. This, sometimes, also happens inl-storage, as vell as in transit, and detracts much fmm the value o f the books'.
My device overcomes these difficulties, by providing a stilf support for the outer edges of the covers,.which shall extend farenough on to the cover of the book to v make the support certain, and, by carrying it around the corners, it also operates as a guard, so that by its application books maybe transported with safety in paper wrappings, which is especially desirable `when sending books b v mail.l
there.
' I first out them out in blanks, as shown at figs. ,4,
5, and 6, and then bend them as indicated by the dot ted lines.
Those shown at A and B,- of iig. 1, are cut as shown at iig. 4, the main' diii'erence between' them being that one is soldered and the other not.
When they are soldered, the wings or braces E may be made of separate pieces if desired; but they will usually be t'o'und suiiicieut to answer the purpose with-- out soldering, when out as shown vat tig. 4. When soldered, this makes the strongest form shown.
A very simple form 'iss'hown at straight piece, with a slit, b, in each side, so that when bent, the inner ends of' the flanges or wings F will cross each other, making it very convenient for soldering, 'if that should be desired.
Another simple iform is shown atD, where the sides are cutout at a, so as to form a mitred joint when bent. l
In use, the blanks may be kept on hand and bent as required for use, or they may be fully completed.
Except in cases of'linely-bonnd books, or when they have a long distance to go, I do not'usually apply my support to the b/acks, as theyare not so much needed The leaves of the book will, to a considerable extent, support the covers, and they are not as liablel to be broken atthat point.
I have found, by experiments, that bound books may be transmitted by mail or otherwise, in paper wrappers, without injury, by the use of these supports.
Having thus fully described my invention,
What I claim, isv v A metallic protector for book-corners, constructed substantially as herein clasping the'opposite corners ofthe book-covers, and
covering the corners of the leaves intervening, and
also for the 'phrpose of being attached and removed when desired, as set forth.
' ALFRED L. SEWELL.
