DANIEL TAYLOR, OF DUNEDIN, NEW ZEALAND.
BINDING-FILE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application led April 14, 1910. Serial No. 555,536.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, DANIEL TAYLOR, a subject of Great Britain, residing at Imperial Buildings, corner of High and Dowling streets, Dunedin, in the Dominion of New Zealand, have invented new and useful Improvements in Binding-Files, of which the following is a specilication.
This invention relates to binding files designed principally for the purpose of enabling users to add to or extract from the same without damaging the sheets.
The object of the invention is to provide means for binding any description of document in double leaf, music, newspapers and the like, and to provide a holder to which the said documents, music or newspapers may be transferred for permanent binding.
The leading features of the invention, are 1. The introduction of cutter blades for the purpose of piercing the folded edge of the documents and for guiding the -entrance of the looped portion of the ratchet rack through the slits in the documents made by the cutter blades. 2. The construction of the ratchet rack the particular shape'of the teeth thereon, being such that the binding wires are permitted to move along the rack in one direction only.
The invention consists of these features and the combination and arrangement of parts as set fort-h in the specification with reference to the drawings hereinafter described.
In the drawings Figure l is a pictorial sketch of the invention illustrating the use of the hinged clips to retain the binding wires. Fig. 2 is an end view of the invention illustrating another form of the binder showing the keepers or ratchet rack, and magazine for binding wires. Fig. 3 is a plan view of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is an end view of the invention illustrating its use as a newspaper file. Fig. 5 is al perspective sketch illustrating the first step in the process of binding. A folder or double sheet is indicated at A to more clearly show the method of cutting the slits. Fig. 6 is a perspective sketch illustrating the second ste in the process, in which figure one hal of the double sheet indicated at A in Fig. 5, is turned over to illustrate the method of inserting the binding wires, and to show the looped ends of the ratchet racks which are seen protruding through the slits in the sheet out by the blades as indicated in Fig. 5. Fig. 7 is a sketch illustrating the completion of the process of filing. Figs. 8 and 9 are sketches illustrating other methods of retaining the ends of the binding wires, in which figures the blades are omitted. Fig. 10 is an enlarged sectional elevation showing part of the back of the file, the strip 8, the keeper 4 and cutter 7 and the position of a double leaf document when pressed down on the cutter blade to produce the slit. Fig. 1l is a view showing all the parts illustrated in Fig. 10, the position of the double leaf document being altered to indicate the manner of inserting thewire 10 and to illustrate the use of the loop portion 24 of the keepers. Fig. l2 is a view showing all the parts illustrated in Figs. 10 and ll, the position of the double leaf document is altered to the position occupied when the process of filing is complete. f
Referring to the numerals on the drawings, 1 and 2 represent outer covers made of any material suitable for the outside cover of a book to which is attached a strip of wood 3 or any other suitable material, this strip extends to nearly the full length of the cover and is for the purpose of providing a rigid back for the tile. There are a series of keepers or ratchet racks 4l, 5 and 6 secured to the back or strip 3 and a corresponding number of cutter blades 7, 8 and 9, the blades being also fixed to the back or strip 3, and set directly in line with the said keepers but in a lower plane the use of which will be hereinafter more fully described.
The manner of lixing the keepers and the blades is more clearly shown in Figs. 10, l1 and 12. The ends 4A and 24A of the keepers project into the strip 3, supporting the said keepers in the position illustrated. The blades are secured by projecting a portion 7A thereof into the strip 3. Means are provided for the purpose of retaining the ends of wires 10 which are for the purpose of binding filed documents to the back or strip 3. A magazine is provided for storing the said wires, for which purpose a Patented Oct. 25, 1910.`
groove 11 is formed in the back or strip 3. The groove projects nearly the full length of the strip and is provided with a suitable cover 12.
Referring again to the means of retaining the ends of the binder wires 10, there are three different methods illustrated. In Fig. 1 pivoted clips 13 and 14 are shown which consist of a hinged portion 15 a plain strap 1G embracing the back or strip 3, the said strap terminating in a downward projecting part 17 the said projecting part being fashioned to form a finger grip and adapted to clasp the bevel edge 13 of the back or strip 3. In Fig. 8 a groove 19 is shown cut in the back or strip at an angle to the surface thereof, and sloping outward. In this case the binding operatic-n is performed in the same manner as indicated in Figs. 5, 6, 7 and 10, 11 and 12. Then the document is in the position shown in Figs. 7 and 12 the ends of the wire are sprung into the groove 19 the amount of opening of the groove being equal to the gage of the wire used. For the same purpose pockets 29 may be used as illustrated in Fig. 9 the manner of fixing the ends of the wire is same as described above.
To more clearly demonstrate the operation of filing and with reference to Figs. 5, 6, 7 and 10, 11 and 12, A represents an ordinary folder or double sheet. The folded edge 20 of the folder A is placed against the edge 18 of the strip 3 and pressed down on the cutters, this operation forms slits 22 in the edge 20 of the folder. The upper leaf 23 of the folder A is then turned partially over the strip 3 to the position shown in Fig. 6. This action causes the looped portion 24 of the ratchet racks et, 5 and 6 to engage the slits 22 and project therethrough to the inside of the folder. The object of the looped portion 24 is to enable the wire 10 to be more easily threaded. A binding wire 10 is then threaded through the said projecting loops engaging the whole series and securely binding the folder to the back or strip 3 of the file. The folder A is then closed, the sheet 2G meeting the sheet 23 in the position of the said sheet 23 illustrated in Fig. G. The folder is then drawn across the face 27 of the strip 3 to the position indicated in Fig. 7, and the ends of the wire fixed, the formation of the teeth 28 of the ratchet rack permitting such movement in the direction indicated but preventing a reverse movement. Thus the folder cannot be removed without withdrawing the binding wire or destroying the folder. It is obvious that any document or any folder containing more than one document may be removed at pleasure without disturbing other filed matter.
Having described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
