COMBINATION BULER AND BLOTTER-HOLDER.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Apr. 26, 1910.
Application med July 7, 1909. Serial No. 506,402.
To all whom it concern? Be it known that I, WALTER E. J AoKso I a citizen of the United" States, residing at Lincoln, in theIcounty of Lancaster and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination Rulers and Blotter Holders, of which the following is a specification.
' The'present invention relates to a combination blotter holder and ruler adapted to "be attached to a finger of' the left, hand of the user whereby to be ready for. use at all tunes, and which in its manner of being held affords comparatively no inconvenience.
The further purpose of the deviceis to produce the same from a single sheet of stamped material whereby the cost of the quired to strike balances, etc., and for those 7 manufacture is such that the articles may be sold at a very low price and yet give a reasonable profit to the producer.
The invention is designed .with especial reference forthe use of bookkeepers and other accountants who are constantly rewho are frequently calledupon to sign bills or letters, and it-is further adapted to permit the-turning of, ages or papers by. other fingers of the ban to which it is attached.
' The invention is shown in its preferred embodiment in the accompanying drawing wherein,
' Figure 1. illustrates the blank sheet from which the article is produced. Fig. 2. illustrates the-finished article in perspective, and Fig. 3. is an end view thereof. Referring to the drawing in further detail and wherein like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures shown, A refers to a blank sheet of suitable metal or other material which is of.
precisely the outline shown in Fig. 1. Said plate is unched within the, mar in thereof to provi e two pairs of opposite y disposed ears-B and C res ectivel which ears are bent upwardly an .inwar' 1y into the shape shown in Fig. 2, thus constitutm the means by which the device is to be hel on the fin g'er of the user.
The 0 poslte'side edges and E are bent .un er and "upon themselves to provide a pair of engaging devices F and G,
: which serve as the means for retaining a blotter therein in a. manner that will. be
, readily obvious. The side portion E is bent vice to its slightly upward along the line H the purpose whereof being to provide ar'uling edge that will give the desirable bearing surface for a encil and likewise permit the use of an or inary pen for rulin The peculiar manner of bending the si e portionE is further serviceable in that it affords an additional' retaining means for the blotter.
That corner of the plate designatedby the letter is cut away in order that the device may have no obstruction to its convenient manipulation.
. When in use -the piece is adapted to be kept permanently on a finger of 'the left hand, said fin er entering between the retaining pieces and the end thereof slightly protruding through the-members C as shown 'by the lines in dash in Fig. 2, and in this position the upturned edge E of the device is at all times in a position to be conveniently presented for ruling.-
strument in. certain particular details, I
.do not vwish myselfunderstood as being limited to the precise structure shown but changes therein as will better adapt the deurpose, limiting myself only to such detalls as may be disclosed in the prior art to which the present invention pertains. v
lVhat I claim as new is:
A combination blotter holder and ruler comprising a substantially rectangular metal plate having a pair of opposed portions struck up therefrom and designed to provide a resilient holding means to'be engaged by a finger of the hand, one side portion of said plate being folded upon itself and upwardly to provide a ruling edge, the op osite'side portion of the p ate eing also i olded upon itself and providing with the folded portion of the ruling edge ameans for holding a blotter, and the inner corner of disposed. i
run
freedom of movemento'f the thumb of the hand. v
