vPEFiIODIGAL-FILE.-
SPECIFICATION forming.' part of Letters Patent No. 708,169, dated September 2, 1902. i Application led J'uly 5, 1901. Serial No. 67,147. (No model) To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, CoRYDoN L. vPRINDLE, a citizen of the United States, residingatEvanston, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Periodical-Files, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to improvements in devices for tiling periodicals and similar articles for temporary or permanent preservation, the object being to produce a lile which shall combine the -features of being completely adequate to the purpose, easily used, and of sightly and pleasing appearance.
In the accompanying drawings, by which my invention is illustrated, Figure lis apartial perspective view of the file in an open position; Fig. 2, a View of the peculiar needle used in my invention with the binding-cord attached, illustratingV the method of' adjusting the needle immovably upon the cord. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the locking device to be described, together with a view of the corresponding cordattachment on the opposite side. Fig. 4 is a view of the tilingeyelet used in my invention, Fig. 5 illustrating the manner of applying to said eyelet the filing-stiletto shown in Fig. 7. 4 Fig. 6 illustrates the method of filing dierent articles, and Fig. 8 shows a convenient combination of the filing-stiletto with a metallic papercutter. *j
In my invention the covers of the file ct a, Fig. l, are made'in the usual manner of bookcovers, with aiiexible back b. To the inner lower edges of the covers are flexibly attached, respectively, the front and back bindingstrips c and d, as shown, saidstrips being usually made of press-board about one-half of an inch in width and nearly the lengthof the covers and being covered to correspond with the nish of the lile. To the front binding-strip the fixed. ends of the binding-cord e e are attached, the cord engaging the articles filed and being attached to the opposite binding-strip d by means of the retaininglocks ff, Fig. l. (More fully shown in Fig. 3.) The binding-cord may be conveniently and tastefully attached to the front binding-strip by means of a suitable Hat metallic shankbutton, to which the cord is fastened and passed through the eyeleted perforations g' g. To the binding-cord is loosely attached the peculiarly-formed needle 7L. The eye of said needle extends longitudinally from the center of the head t to a notched opening in the side which forms the recessed shoulder The knot which terminates the cord being drawn vagainst the shoulderj prevents the Unthreading of the needle. Also the knot being covered in the recess does not interfere with the insertion of the needle and cord through an eyelet or unnecessarily enlarge or mutilate a perforation made by the needle. The needle has also an inwardly-diminishing diagonal slot It in the side, between the shoulder and the point, into which the cord is drawn to prevent its slipping or becoming loose.
In operation the needle and cord having been inserted through the eyelets or perforations of the articles being filed and the cord drawn taut, the needle is slipped down the projecting length of the cord closely against thelasttile,and the cord, wound partly around the needle, is then drawn tightly into the slot, as shown in Fig. 2.
The retaining clasp or lockff, Fig. l, in section in'Fig.VV 3, attached to the back strip d, consists of the inner plate l, flxedly attached by the rivets p q, having a perforation 'm directly opposite the corresponding attachment ofthe cord on the front strip to permit the passage of theneedle and cord, the pocket/rg, for inclosing the'needle, and the cap o, which is pivotally-adjustable on the rivet q. With the cap o turned to the side to uncover the pocket n, as shown by oat the bottom of Fig. l, the needle, made fast to the cord inl the manner described, is inserted through'the opening m and pressed down into the pocket, when the cap is closed over it and holds it iirmly in place, the needle and cord being concealed from View, as shown by o at the top of Fig. l. -v
Periodicals and similar articles to be filed are attached to the cord by means of a tilingeyelet, which is made preferably of wirerin the form shown in Fig'. et. The eye r of the eyelet, formed, as shown, by a projecting semicircular curvature of the wire between the extremities, is adaptedto be inserted outwardly through a fold to engage the bindingcord, as shown by l and 2, Fig. 6. In the case of pamphlets, &c., of medium thickness one eyelet at each end will be sutcient, inserted as shown by 2, Fig. 6; but magazines of the usual thickness should be supplied with two eyelets at each end, inserted through the folds near the front and back, as shown by l, Fig. 6. Obviouslyletters and loose sheets can be readily led by inserting the needle and cord directly through them at a suitable distance from the edge, as shown by 3, Fig. 6, and pictures and other articles that would be injured by perforation can be attached to the bindingcord by means of eyelets in common use in the manner shown by 4, Fig. 6. It beinginconvenient and sometimesimpraeticable to insert the filing-eyelets without the aid of an instrument adapted to the purpose, I have devised a filing-stiletto for such use, which is shown in Fig. 7. The filing-stiletto consists of a pointed metallic blade or stem with a suitable handle, which is provided adjacently to its perforating-pointt with a shoulder u, adapted to engage the eyelet in the lnanner shown in Fig. 5 and carry the projecting eye c through the perforation in the fold made in advance of it by the point of the stiletto. The shoulder u is conformed to the eye and grooved in order to secu rely hold the eyelet. The filing-stiletto may be conveniently combined with a metallic paper-cutter, as shown in Fig. 8.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In abindingor tilingmechanisma needle with the eye extending longitudinally from the head to a notched opening in the side, said openin g forming a recessed shoulder to retain the knotted end of the binding-cord, in combination with the cord e, stays c and d and locking device f, substantially as described.
2. In a bindingor tiling mechanism aneedle having adjacent to the eye an inwardly-diminishing slot in the side, said slot being adapted to have the binding-cord drawn securely therein, in combination with the locking device f, cord e and stays c and dfsubstantially as described.
3. In a binding or filing mechanism the locking device f, consisting of a 'fixed inner plate Z having an aperture m for the insertion of the needle, a pocket n to inclose the needle, and a movable cap 0 to confine and conceal the needle, in combination with the stays c and d, and the needle h and cord e, said needle being,r adapted to the adjustment of the cord immovably thereon, substantially as described.
4. In a binding or ling mechanism the combination of the eyelets r s, adapted to be inserted through the folds of a signature and engage the binding-cord, the cord e and stays c and d, with the needle h and lock f, said needle and lock cooperating to secure to the stay d the free end of the binding-cord, substantially as described.
