UNITED STATES CLARENCE I-I. LA SELLE, 0F WABASH, INDIANA.
POSTING TRAY.
Application filed February 12, 1923. Serial No. 618,626.
To (ZZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, CLARENCE H. LA SELLE, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of lVabash, State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Posting Trays, the principles of which are set forth in the following specification and ac-. companying drawing, which disclose the form of the invention which I now'consider to be the best of the variousuforms in which the principlesof the invention may be embodied.
This invention relates to posting trays. Such trays are now used in banks and similar institutions for posting checks and deposits. The posting is usually done by means of a ledger posting machine which is apt to jar or vibrate the table or stand on which it is placed. The device of this in vention is primarily intended for use with such a machine in order that the posting may be done quickly, accurately and co nveniently by the clerk or operator.
In posting, the checks and deposit slips are kept separate, preferably in a tray having means for holding the checks before posting and a separate means for holding the slips before posting. Such devices also have separate places for holding the checks and slips after the posting.
Applicant however does not claim; as his invention such tray broadly, but only the specific arrangements and construction of compartments for holding the slips and checks not only before but after posting whereby increased speed of operation, accuracy and ease of manipulation is obtained.
The object of the invention is to provide an improved tray'whereby the posting may be conveniently done with increased accuracy and speed.
Another object of the invention is to provide a compact tray while increasing the usefulness of the. tray as a labor and time saving device.
In the drawing: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device, and
Fig. 2 is a sectional view thereof on the line 22 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows.
The tray illustrated as one embodiment of the invention comprises a check receiving or holding compartment 1 (the checks being indicated at 2 in broken lines). The compartment 1 is at the front of the tray 011 the left hand side and holds the checks before being posted.
' By front is meant the side of the tray shown at'the front in the drawing or the side which the operator faces when using" ly in the rear of compartment 1 on the left hand side'of the tray. This compartment receives the checks after they are posted.
The compartments 1 and 3 should be of suflicient size to hold and comfortably fit checks of all sizes (even the largest) with the long dimensions of the checks arranged from left to right, so that the checks in compartment 1 may be easily read without difficulty.
At the right of the compartments land 3 v are the deposit slip compartments 4 and. 5. The inner compartment 4 which is next to the check compartments receives or holds the slips before posting and after posting such slips are then placed by theoperator in compartment 5 which is the outside one.
The compartments at andb are arranged laterally of the check compartments instead of in front of or't-o the rear of the latter. That is the front and rear edges 6- and 7 of the compartments 4 and 5 coincide with parallel straight lines defining the front and rear edges of the check compartments and of the tray.
This arrangement not only permits unobstructed access to both the front check compartment 1, and slip compartment 4 but also provides a more compact device, a more attractive device and one which may be manufactured at less cost. This arrangement as hereinafter more fully described, 7
by reading them as in the case of the slips in compartment 4.
The front end 9 of compartment 4 is entirely open or unobstructed so that the slips therein may be easily removed one at a time when posted. Likewise the front of the compartment 1 is cut away or unobstructed to allow the easy and quick removal of the checks one at a time as they are posted. The points at which access may be iad to compartments 1 and 4 are open and unobstructed. The points are at the front along the line 6 where the papers may be easily reached by the operator and may be easily picked up. The compartments 1 and 4 are so positioned that one does not interfere with the easy removal of papers from the other, yet allowing the ready checking of the papers therein, and removal to their respective compartments after posting of either checks or deposit slips, without same becoming intermingled. The tray of the present invention may be manufactured of anysuitable material such as wood or metal and in any suitable way. The several compartments however are formed or defined by vertical partitions or walls mounted on or rising from a suitable base or bottom 10.
The base 10 is rectangular in shape with its long dimension extending from left to right.
The compartments 1 and 3 are formed or defined by the partitions or walls 11-12- 1314l5.
The partitions 11 and 12 are arranged transversely of the base 10, extending from front to rear, the partition 11 extending along the left hand edge of the base and partition 12 being spaced inwardly therefrom to form with it the common parallel lateral walls of both compartments 1 and The partition 13 extending along the rear edge of the base 10 forms the back of compartment 3.
Separating the front and rear compartments is the partition or wall 14, arranged parallel with the back 13 and about midway between the front and rear. The partition 14 is really in two parts, providing an opening 16 between them, although it may be considered a single partition with an opening 16 in it. As illustrated in Fig. 2 the bottom of compartment 3 has a floor 17 which is elevated at its front end 18 above the level of the floor 10 of compartment 1. From the front 18 the floor 17 gently slopes downwardly towards the rear. The floor or bottom 17 however immediately behind the opening 16 is recessed or cut away (indicated at 19) providing with the opening 16 means whereby a stack of checks in the rear compartment 3 may be grasped by the fingers and thumb and conveniently lifted out, the inclination of the floor 17 facilitating this removal. The walls 11, 12, 13 and 14 forming compartment 3 are of sufficient height to form a relatively deep pocket capable of holding a large number of checks, without allowing them to jar out or to become mixed with the checks in the front compartment.
The partition or wall 15 arranged parallel with the walls 13 and 14 and extending along the front edge 6 of the base 10 completes the compartment 1. The left hand portion 20 of this partition is of considerable height to etliciently retain a large number of checks in the pocket 1. Near the center of the partition its height is substantially nil forming an opening 21 through which the fingers maybe inserted to remove the checks one by one as they are posted.
To wards the right and near compartment 4 the portion 22 of the partition 15 is out very low, as is also the right hand wall 23 of compartment 1, constituting the forward continuation of partition 12. The lowness of the walls 22 23 permits the ready inspection of the checks and slips in compartments 1 and 4 irrespective as to where in front of the device the operator stands. The names and amounts on both the checks and deposit slips are directly under the eye of the operator so that they can be easily checked at a glance from left to right or right to left.
The wall 1223 is common to the check compartments 1 and 8 and slip compartment 4. The wall 23 forms a complete barrier between compartments 1 and 4 keeping the papers therein separate. By complete is meant sufficiently complete to so maintain the checks and deposit slips separated.
The opposite lateral wall of the compartment 4 comprises a vertical partition 24 which extends transversely of the base 10 from front to rear between the edges 6 and 7. This also forms the inner lateral wall of compartment 5 for posted slips, the opposite wall of compartment 5 comprising a transversely extending vertical partition 25 arranged on the right hand edge of base 10 between the front and rear edges 6 and 7. The rear ends of compartments 4 and 5 are closed by a. vertical wall 26 extending along the rear edge 7. Since the number of slips handled is always less than the number of checks the con'ipartments 4 and 5 need not be as deep as the check compartments.
As previously stated the front of compartment 4 is unobstructed, not only to al low the slips just posted to be removed one at a time but also to allow their ready inspect-ion. At the rear of compartment 4 is a block like holder 27 for pins and clips.
The front of compartment 5 however is obstructed by a partition 28 to retain the posted slips in place and prevent them from blowing out or becoming mixed with the sllps remaining to be posted. The center of the barrier 28 has an opening or recess 29 and the bottom of the compartment 5 has a hole 30 therethrough wherebythe stack of slips may be lifted out by inserting a finger upwardly through the hole and grasping the stack through opening 29.
In the use of the tray described the checks and slips to be posted are placed face up in the compartments 1 and 4 respectively. The operator stands in front of the tray where he can check at a glance the checks and deposit slips and then operate the postin machine with his right hand. As each check is posted he lifts each out and turns it over into the compartment?) at the rear.
The slips likewise after posting are drawn out of compartment 4 and placed face down in compartment 5. The tray of this inven tion is especially adapted and arranged to allow the. operator to conveniently and speedily handle the checks and slips with the left hand while operating the machine with the right. When the posting is com pleted or the compartments 3 or 5 filled the papers therein may be removed as a pack,
these compartments being especially cone structed to hold securely a'large number of checks and slips and being provided with themeans above described'to permit their ready removal.
My improved tray is very compact and convenient, the compartments being so arranged that it is easy. to transfer checks or deposit slips from one compartment to another after posting. The tray can be used with all types of checks and deposit slips. It does not matter whether the name on the deposit slip is at the top or bottom.
The partitions are so arranged and constructed that neither the checks nor deposit slips can become disarranged. by the vibration. of the posting machine either before or after posting. At the same time the compartments are so constructed as to allow the quick removal of the papers as they are checked and posted, whether removed one at a time or as a. pile or pack. The arrange n'ient of compartments is such that, while the compartments 1 and 4 are adjacentfto each other to permit a quick inspection or reading of the checks and deposit slips to check them, the compartments 3 and 5 into whichthe posted papers are placed are widely separated to prevent the mixing of posted checks and slips with'unposted papersvand these last are constructed with deep partitions to insure this condition. The several compartments are distinctly separated from each other, even the compartment 1 is separated from compartment 4 by the partition or wall 23.
