POSTING STAND.
Applicationfiled September 25, 1922. Serial No. 590,226.
To all whom it may'concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES R; HADLEY,
a citizen of the United-States, residing at Los Angeles, in thecounty of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new anduseful Posting Stand, of which the following is a specification:
This invention relates to posting stands of the type employed in machine book keeping, and is more especially adapted for use in posting alphabetically.
An object of the invention is to*provide a stan'dof this type thatwill function to produce the desired results in a manner that will"facilitate thevar-ious operations so as to expedite the posting of accounts.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention Fig;- 1 is a perspectiveview of a postingstand embodying the vention.
Fig; 2" is a plan view of the stand shown provisions of this inin Fig. 1:, the movable guide being in closed covers to show the interlocking therebe-.
tween; the guides being shown in cross section; a i V Fig. 5is an enlarged plan= section of the lock for the movable-guide with the guide in closed positionctherein;
Fig. dis a' detailt partly ilr section, showing the adjustment feature of the guides.
A suitable frame; indicated: at lO, is provide'd, and mounted on'oppositesides of the frame are standards 11. Fastened at their opposite ends to the ends of the frame 10 are" spaced parallel W-shaped members 12 positioned along opposite sides of the frame. Intermediate their ends the members 1 2 are secured to the standards 11. the intermediate portions :of the members 12 is an inverted V-shapedf member. 13. The
The leaves 16 of the binder may be positioned adjacent either of the covers 141, 15
with their side margins flush, or said leaves may be offset in a manner well understood 1n accountancy; Vhen the leaves 16 are in register, as shown 1n Figure 1, one edge of the pack of leaves engages a guide 17, the
intermediate portion of which is of inverted V-shape to correspond in angularity with the support member 13. p
Theend portions 1801 the guide 17 are bent at right angles from the intermediate portion of said guide and are inserted in a a sleeve or tubular way 19. The end portlons 18 are provided with notches 20 and, adapted to selectively engage said notches according to the adjustment of the guide 17 there are screws 21 which are threaded through the frame 10 and project through the walls of the sleeves so as to hold the guide in the adjusted position. The ends of the sleeves 19 engage holes 22 in the frame .10 and are headed over, as indicated at 23, on the outer face of the frame so as to secure said sleeves inplace. c Slidably engaging the other ends of the sleeves 19 are adjustable members 24, which are provided with notches 25 that are adapted to be selectively engaged by screws 26" threaded through the frame 10 and prooted at 27 to the opposite ends of a movable guide 28, said guide being approximately inverted v shaped so as to conform in angularity with the member 13. The guides 17, 28 are in parallelisnrand are in the iorm o1 rods One of the members terminates at its outer end in. a fork or lip-turned channeled portion 29, the vertical channel being indicated at30. \Vhen the guide 28 is in closed'position, as in Figure 1, a vertical portion 31 ofsaid guide engages the channel 30.
Oppositeportions of the wall of the channel 30 are perforated as indicated at32, to accommodate locking means inthelfo'rm of 152111 detents 33, the inner'ends of the perforations being of less diameter than the balls 85 jecting through the walls of the sleeves. The outer ends of the members 24' are pivso that the balls cannot roll into the channel. The fork 29 is provided in its outer face with a semi-circular groove 84, and engaging said groove is a U-shaped spring having outwardly curved portions 36 engaging the outer faces of the balls 33, said balls being of greater diameter than the thickness of the wall of the fork 29 so that one side of each ball will engage the guide 28 while the other side engages the spring. The spring 35 thus tends to yieldingly hold the balls 33 inwardly so that when the guide 28 is in closed position, as in Figure 5, said guide cannot be opened without the appli- "ation of sufficient force to expand the spring 36.
It will be clear from the foregoing that both guides 17, 28 are movable toward and from the binder because of the provision of the sleeves 19; that the guide 28 is also movable because of it being hingedly connected with the frame; that the screws 21 hold the guides in different positions of adjustment; that the guide 28 is releasably held in binderengaging position by the locking elements 33 and springs 35; and that the guides are angled to parallel the intermediate portion of the support.
The binder covers 14:, 15, may be of any suitable construction excepting that the longitudinal edges thereof are provided with notches 37 which are engaged by the guides 17, 28 when the covers are in correct posting position on the stand, as in Figure 1. In the instance shown the covers 141, 15 are each constructed in two sections hinged together at 38 in a manner well understood in the art pertaining to loose leaf binders, and the notches are in the shorter sections 39 adjacent the longer sections t0 so that the guides will support the longer sections and prevent the shorter sections from crowding the leaves 16 out of place.
In practice, the binder covers being in closed position, and it being desired to place the binder on the stand, the guide 28 will be thrown into the broken line position indicated at a. in Figure 2 and the binder will be placed on the support- 12 with the cover member 13 in the position shown in Figure 1. Then the guide 28 will be swung to the closed position. \Vhen said guide 28 is closed, both it and the guide 17 should be in engagement with the notches 37 of thebinder covers, and by properly adjusting the guides in the sleeves 19 such result can be readily achieved. Then the binder. posts 11, well known in the art pertaining to binders. will be released and the binder cover 15 will be shifted along the guides 17, 28 to the position shown in Figure 1.
Then the posting operations will be performed in a manner well understood in accountancy and, if desired, the leaves that have been posted may be offset so as to engage the guide 28. The guide 28 thus aligns the offset leaves the same as the guide 17 aligns those leaves that are not offset. After the posting operations are completed, the binder may be closed and detached from the stand by a reversal of the operations above described, so that the offset arrangement of the leaves can be retained as long as desired.
It will now be understood that by the construction described above the binder is securely attached to the stand when the guide 28 is closed, making it impossible to accidentally knock the binder covers and leaves off of the stand. Correct posting and locking positions of the binder covers are assured because of said covers sliding into the different positions along the guide.
I claim:
1. In a posting stand, the combination of a base, means on the base to support loose leaves edgewise thereon, and means mounted on the base to support the upper section of the hingedly connected sections of a binder cover edgewise above said means to prevent folding of said sections at the hinge.
2. In a posting stand, the combination of a base, a support mounted on the base to receive a loose leaf binder, a guide connected with one side of the base, members mounted in the base to shift laterally with respect thereto, an inverted substantially V-shaped guide pivoted at its ends to said shiftable members, means to hold the shiftablc members in different positions of: adjustment, and. means to releasably hold the pivoted guide in position to engage a binder placed on the stand.
3. In a posting stand, the combination of a base, leaf-supporting means on the base, members adjustably connected with the base, a movable guide at one side of the leaf-sup porting means hinged at its opposite ends to the respective adjustable members, and means to releasably hold the guide in position to be engaged by leaves on the leafsupporting means.
4. In a posting stand, the combination ofv a base, a support mounted on the base to ]'c eeive a loose leaf binder, members mounted in the base to shift laterally with respect thereto. a guide pivoted at its ends to said shiftable members, means to hold the shift able members in different positions of adjustment, and means to releasably hold the pivoted guide in position to engage a binder placed on the stand.
Signed at Los Angeles, California, this 11th day of September, 1922.
CHARLES R. HADLEY.
