JAMES MURRAY, OF HILLSBOROUGH, OHIO.
PAPER-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 496,090, dated April 25, 1893.
Application filed August 25 1892.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES MURRAY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hillsborough,in the county of Highland and State of Ohio, haveinvented a new and useful Copy or Manuscript Holder, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in copy or manuscript holders and has for its object to provide simple and convenient means for supporting copy or manuscript upon a suitable table, desk, or on a book in which the same is being transcribed, and in the latter instance acting as a weight to hold the leaves of the book in position, and with this object in view the invention consists of the construction and arrangement of the parts as will be more fully hereinafter described and claimed.
In the'drawingsw-Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved device shown as holding copies or manuscript in proper position. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section of the device. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the copy holding roller disconnected.
Similar numerals of reference are employed to indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
Referring to the drawings the numeral 1 designates a weighted base from which rise standards 2 at opposite ends, having secured thereto on one side of the same a cylinder 3 with an opening 4 extending throughout the length of the same. Said cylinder 3 is open at opposite ends and therein is rotatably and removably fitted a roller 5, having turn knobs or wheels 6, projecting from opposite ends thereof and beyond the ends of the said cylinder 3. Between the opposite ends of the roller and the turn knobs or wheels, a space 7 is formed which will be more fully hereinafter referred to. The said roller is formed with a longitudinally extending slot 8, and is cut away at the opposite ends adjacent to said slot as at 9. Pivotally connected adjacent to one of the ends of the roller and extending into the aforesaid slot is a clamping bar 10, which has the upper edge thereof bent at a right angle or approximately so as at 11, which is adapted to fit into a cut away or grooved portion 12 in the roller adjacent to the slot thereof. The free end of the said Serial 110,444,072. (No model.)
Secured to the uprights 2 is a cross bar 14 t0 the ends of which is pivotally connected or hinged a yoke 15 whose side arms fit in the recesses or spaces 7, between the turn knobs or wheels 6, in the adjacent end of the roller to hold the latter in proper position and on the said yoke is adj ustably mounted a slide 16 which is adapted to be employed to indicate or direct the attention of the copyist to the line to be copied and in very fine writing or printing the said slide may be used to cover all of such matter except that desired to be copied at the time. WVhen the manuscript is copied as it is rolled up, it is passed back under the cylinder so as to be out of the way and is gradually rolled up and thus drawn in.
The entire device is very useful and convenient for all kinds of copying and where the copy is to be transcribed into a book the base 1 comes very successfully into play as a weight to hold the leaves of the book as well as the book itself in proper position and also to conveniently locate the copy.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is 1. In a copy or manuscript holder, the combination of a cylinder having an opening therein and a rotatable and removable roller mounted in said cylinder and having a clamping bar pivotally connected thereto, substantially as described.
2. In a copy or manuscript holder, the cone bination of a base having standards rising from the outer ends thereof, a cylinder se- ICO and in connection therewith, substantially as.
described.
3. In a copy or manuscript holder, the comblnation of a base havingv uprights at opposite ends thereof, a cylinder secured to said upright and having open ends at the front side, a roller removably and rotatably mounted in said cylinder and having a longitudinal slot therein and end turn-buttons orwheels, a clampingbar pivotally connected" to one end of said roller adapted to engage the'said slot thereof and having the upper end: bent as set forth, and .a tongue adjacent to the end of the roller opposite to that to which the clamping bar is pivoted and adapted to engage the free end of said clamping bar, substantially as described.
4. In a copy or manuscript holder, the combination' with-a rotatable roller having turnknobs or wheels spaced apart from the ends thereof, and a yoke having a slide thereon and pivotally mounted in position and adapted to have the ends thereof engage the spaces between the turn knobs or wheels and the adjacent ends of the rollers, substantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses. 7
