BERRY A. BAXTER, OF MANSFIELD, OHIO METALLIC VTELESQOEPING:ACCOUNT-BOOK HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 645,846, dated March 20, 1900.
Application filed August 14:, 1899.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, BERRY A. BAXTER, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Mansfield, Richland county, and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metallic Telescoping Account-Book Holders, of which'the following is a specification.
This invention pertains to new and useful improvements in a metallic holding device for holding account-books, the purpose and object of which are, first, to'provide a suitable device for holding said account-books when in use, in conjunction with an inclining standard or support, the holding device being so constructed that when placed upon this inclining standard it automatically assumes a position corresponding with the standard upon which it rests, thereby making it possi ble to use account-books of uniform size and making it also possible to read printed matter upon the upper portion of said accountbooks, all of which is accomplished by means of the novel construction and adjustable latticed chain; second, by means of said adjustable latticed chain to admit of the holding device being removed from said standard and closed compactly and in a perpendicular'position, thereby making it convenient to be placed in a safe, vault, or other suitable place of safety when not in use without the removal of the account-books, and, third,.to provide said metallic holding device with a lock to hold it either in a perpendicular or an upright position, the purpose of which being to lock it in such position when not in use. Said device possesses the advantages of durability, simplicity, efficiency, and convenience. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side view showing the device open. Fig. 2 is a side view showing the device closed. Fig. 3 is a sectional end view showing the locking means. Fig. 4 is a side view showing the partition-plates tilted to an angle of forty-five degrees. Fig. 5 shows the construction of the rivets used to connect the adjustable latticed chain. Fig. 6 is an enlarged end view of one of thepartition-plates. Fig. 7 is a section of the adjustable latticed chain. Fig. 8 is a detail side and top view of the locker. Fig. 9 is a perspective view show- Serial No. 727,124. (No model.)
ing the holding device mounted on the standard. Fig. 10 is a plan view of the round bar T. Fig. 11 is a plan view of the flat bar U, and Fig. 12 is an edge view of the portion L, shown in Fig. 6.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, the letter A shows a locking-stop.
The letter B designates a locking-lever, it being j ournaled in a sleeve or bearing 0 upon the side of the.tube D and held in position by the locking-stop. The entire end of said looking device is bent at right angles to the upper or handle end and is adapted to lock the holding device is a vertical or upright position when the locking-lever B is placed in a vertical position, as shown in side view in Fig. 8. Said inner end of said [locking-lever B is then in the notch or recess of the adjustable notched bar E, (see Fig. 8,) a notch being cut in tube D to admit of the inner end of the locking-lever to unlock said holding device when the lever is placed in a position parallel with partition L, where it is held by its own tension against button R.
Letter D designates a flat tube with rounded edges, through which the adjustable notched bar E passes, and is secured or supported by a cross-bar passing through a circular hole in the end of said tube D. (Not shown in the drawings.) The adjustable notched bar E telescopes with said tube D, (see Fig. 8,) thereby providing a support for said tube D. The adj ustable notched bar E is provided with a series of notches, the purpose of which is to lock said holding device at any point of its adjustment. Said adjustable notched bar E is securely fastened to the end partition-plate by 'a cross-bar K, passing through the circular hole in the end of said adjustable notched bar E, and is supported by being telescoped in tube D.
The letter F designates the inner half of the bottom of said holding device, having its side turned up and fitted to the outer half H of the said bottom, the purpose of which is to telescope said bottom to provide for the adjustment. Said inner half F is bent at one end, making the outer half rest against the end partition-plate, (see Fig. 3,) holding said device in a vertical position with the aid of the locking device heretofore referred to. The outer half H is provided with a circular ICO hole, (not shownin the drawings,) the purpose of which is to receive a pin Y on the standard, (shown in Fig. 9,) the effect of which is to permit the holding device to attain an angle of forty-five degrees by reason of its construction, as above referred to.
The letter U designates a Hat bar which is turned on both ends to form bearings, (see Fig. 11,) said bearings passing through circular holes in the end links of a double adj ustable latticed chain, more fully described hereinafter. Washers provided with square holes are placed on the turned ends of the said bar,the ends of which are then riveted to retain said washers in place and forming a shoulder for the side of the links to Work against, at the same time permitting the links to Work freely on the ends of said bars.
The letter J designates two hooks which are used in connection with the circular hole in the outer half H of the bottom above referred to to sustain said'holding device in position on the standard, said hooks overlapping the end of the said standard at letter X,
The letter L designates the partition-plate, the construction of which is shown in Fig. 6 and the purpose of which is to provide a receptacle for said account-books. These plates are bent at their upper and lower edges around the fiat bars U, and the turned bearings on the ends of the latter turn in the latticed chain.
The letterP refers to a handle which is used to open and close said holding device and is fastened to the end partition-plates, as shown in Fig. 3.
The letter S (shown in Fig. 3) designates the end View of the handle, which is riveted to the rear and forward end partition-plates,
.the purpose of which is to handle the holding device conveniently, and is so constructed as to project over the end of said account-books,
thereby permitting a number of said holding devices to be placed on top of each other without interfering with said account-books.
The letter T on Fig. 3 designates a round bar turned on both ends to constitute bearings to connect with the adjustable latticed chain, said bars T being fastened to the outer ends of the bottom. The lower portion of the rear and forward end partition-plates is cut away to permit the passage of said bearings, and the ends of said partition-plates are fitted around said bars on each end, which, in connection with the said bearings, form a hinge. The circular holes V are for the purpose of allowing the passage of the tube D and the adjustable notched bar E. When said holding device is at an angle of fortylive degrees, said tube D and adjustable notched bar Erest against the upper portion of said circular holes, sustaining the holding device in said position.
Fig. 5 shows a rivet which is used alternately with said fiat bars U, thus forming an adjustable latticed chain. The holes in said links are not placed in alinement (see Fig. 7) with each other on the links. The holes through which the rivets and said turned ends of said flat bar U pass are placed at right angles with each other, the effect of which is to give to the links of said chain an upward and reciprocating motion without aifecting the position of the partition-plates.
The letter W on Fig. 7 refers to an extension of the ends of said links, the purpose of which is to make the ends of said links overlap each other, thereby removing any possibility of undue friction in opening and closing said holding device.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a metallic adjustable holding device, the combination of a series of partition-plates, bars with ends turned to form bearings and connected to both the top and bottom of said partitionplates, an adjustable latticed chain, the ends of the links of said chain constructed to overlap each other and pivotally connected together and having holes placed at an angle therein, certain of said holes connecting the chain with the turned ends of the bars.
