CLARENCE D. GRAVES, OF CLARKSVILLE, TENNESSEE.
TEMPORARY BINDER.
To all whom Lt may concern:
Be it known that l, CLARENCE D. GRAVES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Clarksville, in the county of Montgomery and State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in rfemporary Binders, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
rlhis invention relates to improvements in temporary binders for filing letter sheets or various papers which it is desired to arrange in adphabetical order for ready reference.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a very simple device of the above character which is extremely efficient and convenient in use and one which is also highly durable and may be manufactured at a low cost. 4
A further object is to provide a temporary binder whereby papers may be filed away for reference and quickly inserted or removed from the binder.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure 1 is a top plan view of a temporary binder constructed in accordance with my invention; showing the same open; Fig. 2 is a section taken on the line 2--2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 1 is a detail perspective view of the front and back connecting strip.
Referring more particularly to the drawing 5 and 6 indicate respectively the front and back covers of the binder which are preferablv formed of board and have their opposed longitudinal edges beveled as shown at 7. Between the front and back covers of the binder, a connecting strip 8 is arranged. This connecting strip has a convex outer surface 9 and ,a coneaved inner surface 10. Each end of the connecting strip is also longitudinally concaved a' shown at 11 whereby the thickness of the ends of the strip is considerably reduced. Each of the longitudinal edges of the strip 8 is also beveled or inclined, as shown at 12, outwardly or toward the adjacent beveled edges 7 of the covers 5 and 6. These longitudinal edges of the strip 8 are also slightly convexed. A substantially V- Speceaton of Letters Patent.

serial no. 558,858.
shaped groove is thus formed between the edges of said strip and the covers 5 and 6 so as to permit the free hinge movement of said covers upon the edges of the connecting' strip S. A suitable binding cloth 18 is glued or otherwise secured upon the surfaces of the covers and the strip 8 and securely binds or connects the same together. By reducing the thickness of the ends of the strip 8, this binding cloth may be secured thereon without interfering with the closing movement of the covers.
To the inner conca-ved surface of the connecting strip 8 and upon each side of its longitudinal center, a sheetholding member 111 is secured. Each of these members consists of a wire rectangular loop of slightly less length than the width of said strip. The ends of this loop are bent at right angles and securely fixed in the wooden connecting strip 8. rlhe letter sheets S each has secured to one of its edges and adjacent to its ends a suitable clip or fastener 15 which. is adapted to be engaged or attached to the wire loops 14. These letter sheets are arranged between the front and back covers of the binder in alphabetical order, and suitable index sheets may also be provided so that any particular letter may be readily found and if desired removed from the binder.
lt will be noted that the binder as above described presents the appearance of a bound volume and the arrangement of the sheets in the binder and the means for indexing the same may be greatly varied to suit the desires of the individual user. By the use of the device letters and papers relating to different subjects may be readily classified and secured in proper order between the front and back covers of the binder so that they may be easily and quickly detached when desired for use.
From the foregoing' it is believed that the construction and operation of the invention may be readily understood without necessitating any further description. @wing to the fact that the material of which the binder is constructed may be obtained at a low cost and the front and back and the connecting strip may be readily assembled and secured together, it will be obvious that the entire device may be manufactured at a comparatively low cost. lt i, also extremely durable and of great convenience in practical use.
lVliile have shown and described the preferred embodiment of the invention, it will be understood that various minor modications may be resorted to without departing from the essential feature or sacrin'cing any of the advantages thereof.
Having thus described the invention what is claimed is A device of the character described comprising a front and back cover, a connecting strip arranged between said covers, the covers being movable upon the longitudinal edges of the strip, said strip having a conveX outer face and a concaved inner face, the ends of said strip being longitudinally concaved and reduced in thickness, a suitable binding material secured upon and uniting said covers and strip, and a wire sheet holding loop extending transversely upon the strip at each side of its longitudinal center, said loop being of rectangular form and extending between the covers, the extremities et' the loop being bent at right angles and secured in said strip.
In testimony whereof hereunto alhx my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
