To all whom it mag/concern:

='Be 'tknovvn that I, EDwjaRiTKmeY :Boufrnn, l residing .at Niagara Falls, in thecbunty of TNiagar-a and State f-AN-eW- ork, have in vented. certain newfiand useful Improvements 1 jManifolding-Pads, of which the ,t'ollowv ing [1s a full, "clear, and exact description,

Among the aims ofjthis invention is the provision of va padyhaving all of the ad- Aside from this infvanta geons features of those of the socalled continuoustype, and in which, by reason of additional,alid'co acting elements, the above ,andother defects are done away with.

Referring now to Fig. lqof the accompanying drawnig, there is shown at l a back ,having nounted thereon continuous strip 2 folfded in alternately opposite directions in such manner vasto superpose the several individual leaf portions 3-and 4;, These leaf portions, which, as is indicated in the drawjlligyform .a series of pairs of alternate origirial and duplicate leaves and 4, are held in position by means of st pl fifi, one leg (5 of each lot ,which passes through the several ,fupperi'olds of thefpad, as best indicated at 7 iII Fig Z of the drawing. The ends of the staplesare headed over, as shown at 8, and

thus-form retaining elements'to hold the pad proper position during its use.

'ilhe'reis preferably provided at the upper lend of the pad a wooden block 9, which is secnrjedtc he back 1, and through which the :1egsl0 oithe staples pass. By reasonof .this construction there isprovided a light,

"cheap and rigid abutment to which the pad ,properis anchored by the staples.

' :A sheet oftransfer paper-11 is secured in positionito rest. between the original and dufplicate learfportions, as indicated in Fig. l, "anda cover or hinder 12 preferably passes .abodtthe entire pad, although the same is readi'ly susceptible of being removably held inacover of a more durable character.

The inethod or use of the above described embodiment of this invention is substantially as follows: Assuming thatit be desired to make an entryj the uppermostleaf duplicate leaf. Thebriginal is then drawn downwardly or in a direction away from the portion '3 is normally-f n position as lndiblock and the staples 5, which have merely a tenuous hold upon the upper fold, tear through the same, leaving slight notches 13,

as in Fig. 3. This permits the uppermost original with its corresponding duplicate, and'also the second original, to be drawn from beneath the transfer sheet, and the used original and duplicate are then detached from the next unused original leaf portion, the paper being weakened as along the lines 14. The used original may then be separated from the used duplicate, the mateamong others present. l

-As many changes could be made in the above construction and many apparently Widely different embodiments of this invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the 'above description or shown in'the accompanying drawings shall.

. be interpreted as illustrative and not in a.

limiting sense.

It is also to be understood that the Ianguage used in the following claims is in tended to cover all of the generic and spe-E cific features of the invention herein de-' scribed and all statements of the scope of ,the invention which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is u 1. In a device of the-class described, in

combination, a rigid member, a pad comprising a plurality of superposed leaf port ons,

'one end of said pad ly ng in juxtaposition with one side of said rigid member, and fastening means comprising spaced members,,one ofsaid members passing through saidglea'f portions at one end thereof and the other of said members being secured to said rigid member.

2. In a device of the class described, in combination, a rigid member, a plurality of superposed leaf portions connected end to end in a continuous strip to form a pad, one end of said pad abutting against said member, and fastening means comprising spaced members, one of said members passing through said leaf portions at one end thereof and the other of said members being secured to said rigid member.

3. In a device of the class described, in combination, a rigid block, a plurality of leaf portions connected end to end in a continuous strip and folded into superposed relation, and a pair of staples, one of the legs of each of which passes through a plurality of said leaf portions at one end thereof, and the other leg of each of which passes into said block.

4. In a device of'the class described, in

combination, a. back, a rigid block secured thereto, a plurality of leaf portions connected end to end in a continuous strip and folded into superposed relation and resting upon said back, and means passing through a plurality of sald leaf portions at one end "thereof and through said block and said "back. andholding said leaf portions upon said back and adjacent said block. I

5. In a device of the class described, in

combination. a back. a wooden block secured thereto, a plurality of leaf portions connected end to end in a continuous strip and folded into superposed relation and resting upon said back, and a pair of staples. one of the legs of each of which'passes through -said'block and said back, and the other leg .of each of which passes through a plurality of leaf portions at one end thereof and through said back, said staples having their ends bent over uponthe rear of the surface of said back.

'6. In a device of the class described, in combination, a back, a wooden block secured thereto, a plurality of leaf portions connected end to end in a continuous strip and folded into superposed relation and resting upon said back, a pair of staples, one of the legs of which passes'through said block and said back, and the other leg of which passes through a plurality of leaf portions at one end thereof and through said back, said staples having their ends bent over upon the rear of the surface of said back, and a transfer sheet mounted adjacent said block and adapted to rest between successive pairs of said leaf portions. Y

7. In a device of the class described, in

combination, a rigid block, a plurality of leaf portions connected end to end in a continuous strip and folded-into superposed relation, and a staple, one of the legs of which passes through said leaf portions at oneend thereof and the other leg of which passes into said block.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature, in the presence of twowitnesses.
