GEORGE w. MOGILL, or RIVERDALE, NEW YORK.
PAPER-FASTENER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 406,759, dated July 9, 1889.
Application filed December 6, 1888. Serial No. 292,796. (No model.)
To M6 whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE W. McG-ILL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Riverdale, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Paper-Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has for its object to provide a novel adhesive paper-fastener made of binders cloth, linen, cotton, tough paper, linen or cotton backed paper, or other textile material or flexible fabric, which can be accurately applied with ease and facility for binding or fastening together sheets of paper and similar material. This object I accomplish in the manner and by the means hereinafter described and claimed, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, illustrating my invention, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation showing the fastener applied to secure together several sheets of paper; Fig. 2, a 'rear View of the same; Fig. 3, a sectional'view on the line x on, Fig. 1; Fig. 4, av detail plan view looking at the front of the fastener; Fig. 5, a similar view looking at the rear or adhesive side thereof; Fig. 6, a sectional view on the line yy, Fig. 4; Figs. 7, 8, 9, and 10, detail plan views showing modifications in the form of the fastener.
In order to enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will now describe the same in detail, referring to the drawings, where- The numeral 1 indicates the flat head of the fastener, from the lower edge of which extends the limb, leg, or tongue 2, the opposite fiat side surfaces of which are parallel, or substantially so, with the flat side surfaces of the head. The edges 3 of the tongue, Figs. 1 to 5 and Figs. 8 and 9, are at right angles to the lower horizontal edge 4 of the flat head, and the head may be furnished with a single tongue, as in Figs. 1 to i, or more than one tongue, as in Figs. 8 and 9. The head is preferably rectilinear, but may be circular, as in Figs. 7 and 10, and in both constructions the head is wider than the tongue.
The fastener is provided on one surface with a continuous layer of suitable adhesive material 5, which, when moistened, will adhere to the papers or other material to be bound or secured together.
The fastener is made of a flexible fabricsuch as biuders cloth, linen, cotton, tough paper, or linen or cotton backed paper-and in practice, to bind or secure papers or other articles together, the latter are furnished with a sl0t,near the top or side margin, of a length sufficient to receive the tongue,which is passed through the slot until stopped by the lower edges 4 of the head coming in contact with the papers to be secured. The adhesive coating-on the hat head is then moistened and cemented down upon the front or upper sheet of paper, and likewise the adhesive coating on the projecting end of the tongue is moistened and cemented down upon the rear or lower sheet of paper.
In binding or securing together legal and other documents it is very desirable to provide a neat and attractive finish to the fastening when celnentedin place, and in order;
transversely across the'adhesive side of thetongue at the point Where the tongue joins the lower edge of the fiat head. This depression is preferably formed during the process of manufacture, and is locatedon the tongue beneath the straight edges 3, so as to constitute in effect a joint between the head and tongue.
If the fastener comprises two prongs the head may terminate in line with the outer edges of the tongues, as in Fig.8, or such head mayproj ect laterally beyond such outer edges, as in Fig. 9, both prongs having a depression to form a score 6, as before explained. I may furnish both sides of the fastener with an adhesive coating, so that after the sheets of paper or other material are bound or secured together a cover can be attached by moistening the external coating and cementing the cover thereto. The external surfaces of the fiat heads may be ornamented by embossing, printing, gilding, or otherwise.
For the purposes of my invention it is important that the opposite flat sides or surfaces of the adhesive tongue be in the same or suit stantially the same plane as the opposite fiat sides or surfaces of the head, and that the depression or score extend across the. tongue parallel to a line taken longitudinally or hori- 5 zontally through the center of the head, so Fthat the depression or score forms the joining hinge-like connection of the tongue to the lower edge of the head in such manner that when the tongue is inserted into the slit provided for its reception in the papers to be secured, and is pushed through until the head only projects at the front, the depression or score will be in a position at the outer edge of the slit to enable the head to be correctly and convenientlyturned down and cemented, thereby enablingthe heads of all the fasteners of one pattern to be secured, so that they will extend the same distance along the front sheet of the papers to be fastened together.
of the scored or depressed tonguein the same or substantially the same plane as the opposite surfaces of the head the slit to receive the tongue is made to extend in the same di- 2 5 rection as the length of the head, and hence when a series of papers are connected bythe.
' ing-head, the limbs being depressed at points remote from the head to form projections in such manner that when the limbs are bent down toward each other the proj ectionsformed by the depressions prevent those portions of the limbs on which they are located from reaching the surface of the paper, and will cause the pointed extremities to be depressed. Such fastener, however, is an entirely different articlefrom mine, and, moreover, the depressions are for a purpose entirely distinct I from and cannot perform the office of the depressions arranged as in my invention.
By the arrangement of the opposite surfaces Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- As an improved. article of manufacture, the adhesive paper-fastenerherein described, c0nsisting of a piece of flexible fabric having an adhesive surface and formed with aflat head and tongue in substantiallythe same plane, and the tongue provided with a transverse "depression, forming its joining hinge-like connection with the lower edge of the head to facilitate the turning down and cementing of the latter, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
GEORGE W. MCGILL.
