SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 768,948, dated August 30, 1904.

Application filed June 15, 1903- Serial No. 161,524. (No model.)

To (ZZZ whom it incty concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY H. NORRINGTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at West Bay City, county of Bay, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Manifolding-Books, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

My invention has for its object certain new and useful improvements in a manifoldingbook or analogous device; and it consists of the construction hereinafter described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a view in perspective illustrating my invention. Fig. 2'is a View in elevation, showing one of the pages folded over a carbon-sheet. Fig. 3 is a similar View showing two pages folded over the carbon-sheet. Fig. 4 is a detail view of one face of one of the pages of the book. Fig. 5 is a View in perspective, showing two pages of the book loosely folded in position for use.

The object of my invention is to provide a manifolding-book or sales order-book or a book for analogous purposes employing a double-faced carbon-sheet whereby manifold copies of an order or receipt or analogous matter may be made.

For certain purposes, as in shipping railway freight, for example, it is desirable to have a receipt or bill to follow the goods or.

rated lines, one section or page of each leaf being permanently bound to constitute a book, the bound pages or sections all being retained in permanent engagement with the cover portion after all the other sections or pages have been removed. so that the bound sections or pages can readily be kept in permanent form for reference.

I carry out my invention as follows:

In the drawings, CZ represents a completed book, said book comprising a base or cover portion 6 and a plurality of leaves 0. Each of the leaves is formed with outside or lateral sections (Z, 0, and f, all of the sections or pages (Z, and with folding sections being bound as at the upper edge of said sections (Z in any suitable manner as, for example, by staples Whereby the sections (Z are permanently bound upon the cover or base 5. I do not limit myself to any particular way of binding the sections (Z together upon the base or cover portion. The page or section f is at the opposite end of the leaf from the page (Z. The intervening page 6 constitutes the original or the section upon which the original copy is to be made. The sections (Z 0 are formed with perforations therebetween, as indicated on the lines it h. The pages 6 f are formed with intervening perforations, (indicated on the line 2' A double-faced carbon-sheet is indicated at f, the same being secured at one end thereof in any suitable manner in the book, as upon the lower cover portion 6, as shown, or it might be secured to one of the leaves of the book. The carbon-sheet is of a length suificient to normally extend over the sections or pages (Z a. When the carbon-sheet is so in place upon the pages (Z 0, the page f is folded over thereupon on the perforated line 71 2',

after which the pages (2 f are further folded over upon the page (Z upon the perforated lines h it. The book is then ready to receive the matter. It will be seen that the lower surface of the page a is thus uppermost to receive the original impression or writing upon its under surface, which has now been folded over to bring the lower face of the page uppermost. It will be obvious that duplicate carbon impressions are at the same time with the original impressions made upon the pages (Z f. The pages 0 fare then unfolded, permitting the ready removal of the page f by tearing it ofi along the line i z'. By throwing back the carbon-paper the page 0 may readily be separated from the page (Z along the line h it. The page (Z, which has just re ceived an impression, is then thrown back or folded over along its bound edge, permitting the carbon-paper to be replaced over the underlying pages (Z a ready for an additional record to be made. It will be obvious that the pages (Z are never removed from the book.

The binding of the pages or sections (Z along the upper edge thereof renders it desirable to make the pages a f shorter than the pages (if that is, the pages (Z project at their upper ends upward and beyond the upper edges of the pages a f. This greatly facilitates manipulation of the carbon-sheet.

Any suitable printed matter may of course be printed upon the pages (Z, a, and f, the page (2 bearing the printed matter on the reverse side from the printed matter upon the pages (Z The separated pages and f may readily be utilized as above described or in any desired manner, while upon the bound pages (Z a permanent record is made for safe keeping. When all of the sections or pages 6 and f of a given book have been separated from the pages (1, the lower cover or base por tion Z) may be readily cut off on a line corresponding to the perforated lines 71/ h.

I do not limit myself to binding the carbonsheet in a book, as a loose carbon-sheetmight be utilized; but it is obviously of advantage to have the carbon-sheet permanently attached to the book in any suitable manner.

hat I claim as my invention is Amanifolding-book of the nature described formed of a plurality of leaves, each leaf divided into a permanent section and a plurality of folding sections by weakened lines, the per manent sections of the leaves being bound together at their upper edges, the folding sections of each leaf arranged to fold over the permanent section, the outer lateral edges of the permanent sections being free for the insertion of a carbon-sheet therebetween.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.

HENRY H. NORRINGTON.
