MANIFOLDING SALES BOOK.
APPLlCATiON FILED JUNE 25. 3917.
Patented Nov. 12, 1918.
GEORGE H. BAUGHMAN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
MANIFOLDING SALES-BOOK.
Application filed June 25, 1917.
To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, GEORGE H. BAUGH- MAN a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Manifolding Sales-Books, of which the following is a specification.
My present invention relates to manifolding sales-books and more particularly to that type known commercially as duplica tion sales-books wherein an original and a duplicate ticket is made and the saletabulated upon a record card that forms a part of the pad of tickets.
The object of my invention is the provision of suitable means for securing a salespad to the covers of the book consisting of a clamp of novel construction that is adapted to firmly grasp and hold the pad engaged thereby and at the same time permit its ready removal from the clamp. It has been found that the clamps and other devices employed for removably securing the pads within the book covers will, owing to frequent use of the book, wear away and damage the cover members and it is therefore a further object of my invention to construct a book of this type that will overcome this inherent objection.
Other objects comprise the provision of a sales book that is neat in appearance, effective and dependable in its operation, strong and durable in construction and economical to manufacture and I prefer to accomplish the divers objects of my invention by substantially the means hereinafter fully described. Reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings that form a part of this specification, wherein,
Figure l is a fragmentary perspective view of a duplicating sales book made in accordance with my invention, the same being shown in opened position to illustrate the construction and arrangement of the parts thereof.
Fig. 2 is a fragmental top plan of the clamp and adjacent end of the sales book.
Fig. 3 is a transverse section thereof taken on line 33, Fig. 2, looking with the arrows.
In the drawings I have employed similar characters to designate the same parts throughout the several views, and by reference to Fig. 1 it will be observed the binder for the manifolding pad and record card Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 12, 1918.
Serial No. 176,783.
preferably comprises a front cover 5 and a back cover 6, that are made of rectangular shaped pieces of relatively stiff material, such as binder board, and are flexibly connected along adjacent end edges by a Web 7 in order to readily permit the same to hinge whenever the book is opened or closed in the usual manner.
A duplicating pad is removably secured upon the back cover by a suitable clamp to be hereinafter described, said pad consisting of a plurality of superimposed leaves 8, each folded upon itself so that the under portion of each leaf extends beyond the adjacent edge of the upper portion of said leaf whereby a binding strip is provided through which staples 9, stitching, or other'means are passed for the purpose of securing the leaves together in the form of a pad. Commercially this top member of each leaf is designated as the original sales ticket while the other member provides a duplicate sales ticket and in order to transfer the entry from the original to the duplicate ticket a sheet of manifolding or carbonized paper 10 is bound upon the top of the pad so that it may be readily inserted between the two members of each leaf prior to the entry of a sales record thereon.
Bound into this pad preferably upon the bottom thereof is a sheet of tag-board or other substantial paper that is longer than twice the length of the pad. This record strip is folded upon itself intermediate its ends so that the upper portion thereof forms a back 11, for the pad of tickets, while the lower portion is printed or ruled to provide a record card 12 whereon condensed entries may be made of the amount of the individual sales recorded upon the corresponding tickets that have been removed from the pad. The edge of the back 11 opposite the fold is secured to the bottom of the pad by the same means that bind the leaves together and the folded edge of the back and record card extends beyond the folded lower edges of the leaves of the pad in order that the same may be removably held by a suitable clamp. It will be seen the record card 12 is hidden from view below the pad but is readly accessible by simply lifting the bound edge of the pad and laying it flat upon the counter or table when the entry is made thereon.
This clamp above alluded to consists of a piece of metal 18 bent longitudinally, U-shaped in cross-section and has one of its parallel members riveted or otherwise rigidly secured to the lower edge portion of the back cover 6 of the binder. Suitable projections such as impaling pins 14, 14 project upward from the lower member of this metal strip so that they may be inserted through the folded extended portion of the back of the pad. The upper member of this plate has its end portions provided with knuckles 15 15, into which the ends of a suitable swinging clamping member, such as a bail, 16 are inserted. I prefer to construct the bail shown of a piece of wire or the like having its ends bent backwardly as shown so that said ends may be inserted into the outer ends of the knuckles 15 but this however is not essential and the clamping member may comprise other equivalent structures without departing from the principle involved. After the back of the pad has been engaged or impaled upon the pins 14 the bail, which has been previously raised to permit the insertion of the pad back, is lowered upon the latter immediately back of the pins and further pressure upon the bail will force the same securely down upon the pad back and prevent its accidental removal from the clamp. A suitable concave recess 17 is made in the upper member of the metal strip to facilitate the releasing or raising of the bail 16 whenever it is desired to remove or insert a pad, and I also prefer to extend the metal of the strip forwardly upon each side thereof as shown at 18 in the drawings, in order to permit the central portion of the bail to be snapped or sprung over the same when being moved to a lowered or clamping position.
I have illustrated and described herein a single form of my invention which it will be obvious may be modified without materially departing from the principles involved, the drawings being in a sense merely diagrammatic. For example in lieu of impaling pins 14 small teats or embossments may be made in the metal strip of the clamp so that the bail will press the pad back down at the rear of said embossments. All such changes are understood as contemplated within the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim as new is 1. A clamp for sales-book pads consisting of a metal plate of substantially Ll-section, an upstanding element formed upon the lower member of said plate upon which a portion of a pad is disposed, and a bail carried by the upper member of said plate and adapted to be moved past said upstanding element to cooperate with said pad portion.
A sales book comprising flexibly connected covers, a pad of leaves and a clamp for removably securing said pad to one of said covers consisting of a plate of ll-shaped cross section secured adjacent one edge of one of said covers, and provided with knuckles, impaling pins projecting upwardly from the lower member of said plate, a bail carried by said knuckles and adapted to cooperate with said pins, and an extension on the upper member of said plate projecting into the path of movement of said bail and past which said bail is adapted to be moved whereby the bail is adapted to cooperate with said pins.
3. A clamp for sales-book pads comprising a suitable plate provided with a plurality of pins adapted to receive a portion of the pad, a bail pivotally mounted on said plate and movable to cooperate with said pins, and an extension projecting from said plate into the path of said bail past which said bail is adapted to be moved whereby the latter is adapted to cooperate with said pins.
4. A clamp for sales-book pads and the like comprising a suitable plate having a portion extended above the same and provided with knuckles, upstanding members on the lower portion of said plate, and a bail carried by said knuckles a portion whereof is adapted to be moved below and into substantially vertical alinement with said knuckles whereby leaves are adapted to be clamped between said bail and plate and impaled upon. said upstanding members.
Signed at Chicago, county of Cook, and tate of Illinois, this 22d day of June 1917.
GEORGE H. BAUGHMAN.
