PAPE'R CLIP OR FASTENER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented April 27, 1909.
Application filed June 12, 1908 Serial No. 438,192.-
nection with the accompanying drawing,
' the fastener or clip ismade.
which forms a part of the same.
' This invention relates to paper eli s or fasteners which may be used to detac iably secure several sheets of paper together or it may be used as a reinforcement-and lock for the loose leaves of a loose leaf binder.
In the accompanying drawing showing illustrative embodiments of this invention and in which the same reference numerals refer to similar parts in the several figures, Figure 1 is a plan view of a blank from which Fig. 2 iso. plan view of the fastener showing it connecting several sheets of paper together. Fig. 3 is a vertical cross section on the line 33 of Fig. 2. Fig. is a plan view of the fastener or clip applied to a loose leaf of a binder and adapte to act as a lock to hold thesheet to the pillar or post of the binder which is shown in cross section. Fig. 5 is a section on line 5-5 of Fig.4, the pillar or post of the binder being omitted. Fig. 6 is a plan view of a modified form of clip or fastener applied to a loose leaf of a binder. Fig. 7 is a vertical cross section on line 77 of Fig. 6.
In the illustrative embodiments of this invention shown in the drawing 1 is the blank from which the clip or fastener is made and 18 preferably formed of thin sheet metal. The/body portion of the blank consists of a split ring 2 having arms 3 and 4. I prefera ly form one or more teeth on the blank by punching down a portion of the blank form ng teeth 5, 5, three such teeth being shown in Fig. 2, one in the split ring portion 2 and one ineach of the arms 3 and 4.
In fastening sheets of paper 30 together by means of my clip or fastener I bend the ends 6 of arm 4 and end 7 of arm 3 back upon the arms, the sheets of paper being held between the arms 3 and 4 and their turned under portions 7 and 6. To more securely hold the papers together the teeth 5 are used, though these may be omitted as shown in Figsffi and 7. The sheets of paper 30 may be disconnected from each other and from the fastener by merely bending the ends 6 and'7, which will immediately loosen the sheets of paper, and if teeth are used will permit the sheets being readily disconnected from them. The clip or fastener may be again used to fasten the same or other sheets together. My clip is also adapted as a reinforcement and lock for the leaves of a loose leaf binder. In Fig. 4 I have shown a loose leaf 8 having a filing slot 9 for the reception of the ordinary pillar or post 10 of a loose leaf binder upon which the caves are mounted. The clip may be either used simply as a reinforcement for the walls of the slot or I may preferably arrange them so that in addition to performing this function, they securely lock the sheet to the pillar or post preventing accidental or surreptitious removal of the,loose leaves from the binder.
To have the clip merely strengthen the walls of theslot it may be placed over the loose leaf 8 so that the opening 11 of the ring .2 will register with the filing slot 12 in the loose leaf 8, the arms 3 and 4 lying parallel with the walls of the slot 9, Fig. 4. The clip may be fastened in this position by bending under the ends 6 and 7 so as to firmly grip the sheet 8. I preferably, however, form short teeth 13, 13, by striking down a p or tion of the clip and form these teeth of just sufllcient length to preferably puncture merely one sheet of the binder. To permit the clip to also perform the function of locking the sheet to the post 10 and hence in the binder, I may draw or bend the arms 3 and4 toward each other, Fig. 4, so that they partially close the slot 9 and prevent the withdrawal of the sheet from the binder by preventing movement of the pillar or post 10 down the slot 9. The clip may be applied to the loose leaf 8 leaving one of the arms, for example, arm 4, free so that when the post 10 is forced through the slot 9 it will cause the arm 4 to give when it may be afterward fastened to the leaf to partially close the slot 9 and 'thereby prevent the withdrawal of the sheet from the binder. In some cases I may fasten both arms 3 and 4 to the sheet 8 and bend one of the arms down and the other up so as to permit the insertion of the pillar or post 10 in the slot 1.2, subsequently bringing the arms 3 and 4 into substantially the same horizontal plane.
Instead of using teeth. I may simply rely upon the friction or grip of the ends 6 and 7 when'they are bent back upon the arms 4 and 3 respectively. In Figs. 6 and 7 the clip l is so secured to a sheet of a loose leaf ledger, the arms 3 and 4 beiziijguslhown in a position to partially close the g. slot 9 preventing the withdrawal of a loose leaf so equipped from the binder.
in a loose leaf binder having leaves provided with my fastener or clip it will be impossible to tamper with an account by with- ,drawing surreptitiously one or more of the leaves without leaving evidence in the binder of such withdrawal. I
Having thus described this invention in connection with the several illustrative embodiments thereof to the details of which I do not desire to be limited, what is claimed as new and what it is desired to secure by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims.
1. A lock for a sheet of a loose leaf binder comprising a clip having a split ring portion, arms extending out from the split rmg, the ends of the arms being adapted to be bent back on themselves to securely hold the clip to the loose leaf.
2. A lock for a sheet of a loose leaf binder comprising a clip having a split ring portion, spaced arms extending out from the split ring portion, teeth carried by the arms and split ring portion, the ends of the arms being adapted to be bent back on themselves and the two arms the sheet of a loose leaf binder to partially being adapted to be secured to a close the ordinary filing slot in the leaf after the leaf has been inserted in the binder.
3. The combination with a loose leaf binder sheet having the ordinary filing slots, of a clip having a split ring portion and spaced arms, the o enings in the cli adapted to register with t e slots in the-sheet, and means for securing the arms to the sheet so that they partially close one of the filing slots and revent the withdrawal of the sheet from the inder Without leaving evidence in the binder of its removal.-
4. The combination with a loose leaf binder sheet having the ordinary filing slot of a metal clip having asplit ring portion,
arms extending from the split ring portion, the openings in the clip registering with the slots in the sheet, punched teeth in the-ring and arm to secure the clip to the sheet, the
ends of the arms being adapted to be bent I V back on themselves to assist in securing the clip to the sheet, and one or both of said arms being adapted to be adjusted after the insertion of the sheet in the binder to partially close one of the filing slots and prevent the surreptitious removal of the sheet from the binders JENNINGS SCOTT MCCOMB.
