MUSIC BINDER AND CARRIER.

Application fixed February 4,1909. serial No. 476,051.

a music binder and carrier in which a number of sheets of music maybe bound togetherpin position for use and which will serve as a carrier for the music.

A further object is to 'provide a device'of this character which will besimple in form and durable in construction, and which when in use as a carrier may be rolled into'small compass.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists ofcertain novel features of construction', combination and arrangements of parts, as will be more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the accompanying dra-wings:-

Figure l is` a plan view of the device opened out and showing the manner in which the sheets o f music are bound therein; Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view of the same on the line 2 2 of Fig. l; Fig. 3 is a plan View of the device when in use as a carrier; Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view of the same.

,Fig. v5 is a detail 'perspective view of one of the music 1 sheet fasteningl devices.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, Fig. l denotes a binder or carrier which consists of two cover sections, 2 and 3 formedof a suitable material, which is flexi-` ble or capable of being rolled. The cover sections, 2 and 3' are loosely connected at one edge to a binding strip, 4, formed of stift' material of any suitable width. On the inner side of the binding strip 4is'secured a series of binding loops, 5, which are, in the form of elongated, or elliptical shaped rings.

The binding loops, 5, are arranged at sultablev intervals along the inner side of the binding strip, 4,' and arel disposed trans-v versely to or across the same. The outer portion of the' binding loops, 5, are split or divided to permit the insertion of the'leaf. and cover 'fastening devices, 6. v h The fastening devicesl for the muslo sheet and covers of the carrier 'are preferabl in the form of wire rings. The rings, 6, w ich secure the covers 2 and 3 to the binding loops are provided with extended diverging ends which are inserted between the materials of which the cover sections are formed, thereby securely fastening the rin s to the edges of said cover sections. The astening rings, 6, by means of which the leaves o r sheets o provided with extended ends which are bent to engage flexible connecting-tabs, 7, which are adapted to be pasted or otherwise secured to the music sheets as shown. The fastening rings, 6, of the cover sections and the sheets of music are enga d with the bindrioni FRANCIS H. DUESLER, OF SCHllhllGIADY,A NEW YORK.

f music are secured to the binding loops are ing loops by inserting said rings between'.

the divided ends of the loops as shown whereby the cover sections 2 and 3 and the sheets of music may be caused to lie upon either side of the binding strip 4. When the cover sect- ions 2 and 3 and the sheets of music are thus secured to the binding loops said cover sections may be opened out in the form of a book cover and the sheets of music turned in one direction or the other over said binding loops until the desired sheets of music are found. `When in an open position asl above described the holder or carrier and the leaves therein may be readily supported upona piano or other suitable instrument or on a music' stand.

7hen the device is used as a carrier, the cover section 2 is shifted over the. hooks 5 to lie parallel with the section 3 and then sections 2 and 3 together with the music leaves between the same are rolled together and secured in rolled position by suitable fastening straps, 8. The fastening straps, 8, are secured at one end to the outer side of the section, 3, and are provided at their free ends with the resilient socket fastening members which are adapted'to be engaged with lfastening studs, 9,l secured to the outer side of the binding strip, as shown. On the outer with whicli'the sockets on the free .ends of the strapsare engaged when the carrier 1s being shown'in'the preferred form of a .fiat

strap which is riveted or otherwise rio'idlysecuredat one end to the outer side of the binding strip 'and is slidably engaged at its `in use, for holding-music in book form. 4On vthe outer side` of the binding strip, 1s also secured a suitable handle 12, said handle invention will be readily understood withoiit'leqniring a more 'extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may lbe resorted to Without departing from the principle or sacrilicing any of the advantages of the invention, as deined in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:-

l. A music binder and carrier comprising arbinding strip, hinge members on said strip, cover sections mounted to swing on said hinge members to either side of the binding strip, binding straps on one of said sect-ions,

and means on the strip coasting with the straps to secure the parts in rolled position.

A music binder and carrier comprising a binding strip, loops extending from one sidet-o the other of said strip, cover sections hinged to said loops and adapted to lie, one

on each side, in book forni or both on one side, binding straps on one of said sections, and means on the strip co-acting vvit-h the straps to secure the parts in rolled position.

3. A music binder and carrier comprising a binding strip, binding loops connected to said strip and extending transversely there across, rollable cover sections hinged to said loops, means to secure lsheets to said loops,"

said cover Sections adapted to fold over onv either side of said binding strip,`binding straps on one of said sections, and nie'ans'on the strip conc-ting with the straps to secure the parts in rolled position.
