FILE FOR HOLDING PAPERS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 578,918, dated March 16, 1897.
Application filed August '7, 1896. $erial No. 602,017. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE O. FARBER, a citizen of the United States, residing at ()conto, in the county of Oconto and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Files for Holding Papers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in files for holding papers, and it is especially adapted for use as a railroad freight-tariff file, having for its object, among others, to provide a simple and cheap construction by which the tariffs or other blanks or papers may be conveniently held and transferred when desired. Any desired number of the clips or files may be used in a cabinet and the clips numbered and the same numbers placed on the cabinet opposite the place where the clip is to be received, so that when more than one is removed from the cabinet at a time they can all be replaced in the cabinet in their proper positions. Opposite each clip in the cabinet may be placed a small card-holder for a card on which may be placed the numbers inclusive of the tariffs bound in that clip, these cards to be removed and new ones inserted when the tariffs on, any clip are changed; but as the novelty in the present invention resides solely in the construction of the clip or file the cabinet and its other accessories do not need illustration.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear, and the novel features thereof will be specifically defined by the appended claims.
The invention in this instance resides in the peculiar combinations and the construction, arrangement, and adaptation of parts, all as more fully hereinafter described, shown in the drawings, and then particularly pointed out in the claims.
The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this specification, and in which--- Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved file. Fig. 2 is a plan with the papers removed. Fig. 3 is a view showing the wires inserted in the hollow posts. Fig. 4 is a view showing the posts tilted back. Fig. 5 is a side elevation.
Like letters of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views.
Referring now to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a base piece or board which may be of any desired size. Along one edge thereof extends the rod B, which is mounted to rock in the staples or other analogous means 0, the rod being seated in a recess D in the board. The ends of the rod are turned at right angles to their length, as seen at d, and are arranged in the lateral grooves c of the board. To these lateral portions of the rod are secured the hollow posts E, the upper ends of which are preferably sharpened, as shown, so as to more readily pierce the paper. The hollow posts are connected near their lower ends by the wire or rod F, as shown, to strengthen them and hold them in their parallel relation.
G is a clip or binder formed of a single piece of wire having its ends extended in opposite directions toward each other and held in the longitudinal recess of the board A by staples or the like 11, so that the clip may rock. From these ends the Wire is bent laterally, as shown at h, and thence outward, as seen at h, so that the connecting portion I will extend parallel with the edge of the board.
J is a wire having its ends bent at right angles to its length to form the portions j.
The operation will be apparent. The tariffs or other papers are placed over the hollow posts and the clip-turned so that its longitudinal port-ion will engage over the upper ends of the hollow posts and bear upon the uppermost sheet. \Vhen it is desiredto remove a sheet or place another on the posts, the clip is removed from the sheets and turned to one side out of the way, as will be readily understood. When it is desired to remove all or anyof the sheets from one file to another or to any desired place, all that it is necessary to do is to insert the legs of the wire J in the hollow posts and move the sheets upward on the same, where they may be held in their regular order so they may be moved without disturbing their order. The hollow posts with all the tarilfs thereon can be tilted back,
as indicated, so that the papers may be more readily gotten at and any desired number transferred onto the legs of the wire J.
Modifications in detail may be resorted to Without departing from the spirit of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.
What is claimed as new is 1. The combination with the base and the hollow posts mounted thereon to rock, of .the pivotally-mounted clip adapted to engage over the upper ends of said post, as set forth.
2. The combination with the base with its groove, of the rod mounted in said groove to rock, the hollow posts carried by the ends of said rod, and the piv0tally-mounted clip ing witnesses.
