Abstract: 1,128,620. Manifolding devices M.GLANTZ. 22 Feb., 1968, No. 7706/66. Heading. B6A. A manifolding device for book-keeping, and especially for use in a typewriter, comprises the combination of a holder 10 or backing member, and record sheets 18 which are releasably secured to the holder by means of lugs 16 on the ends of the sheets engaging slots 14 in the edges of the holder. The holder 10 may be of strong paper or plastics material and has folded edge margins 12 provided with equi-spaced apertures 14 in the folded edges, and the sheets 18, denoted A-D, have projections 16 at each end to engage in the apertures, which projections may be integral with the sheets or may be of strong paper or plastics material secured to the sheets. The apertures and projections are arranged in positions to suit the spacings of the entry lines 26 on the record sheets, and vertical alignment of the sheets is assisted by positioning guides 22 on the margins 12. The sheets may be of the kind which do not require carbon papers for duplicating. In modifications, the holder 10 is not folded over at the sides, and the sides may be notched (40, Fig. 8), or have a series of cut-out tongues (46, Fig. 9), or may be slit (32, Fig. 6), or perforated (38, Fig. 7). Where slots (40) are provided, a tongue (42) on the sheet 18 engages a slot and is then bent around the edge of the holder; in the case of tongues (46) on the holder 10, tabs (44) on the sheet 18 engage in the openings forming the tongues; where slits (32) are formed, a separate strip (30) is threaded through the slits to provide a series of loops (34) to receive projections 16 on the sheet 18: and a wire or thread (36) is threaded through the perforations (38) to form spaced openings (34) to receive the projections 16. An auxiliary holder (50, Figs. 10-15), may be releasably attached over the holder 10 to locate additional sheets or cheques (58) over the record sheets 18, and comprises a skeleton frame having one or more vertical limbs 54 provided with a series of inclined slots (56) to receive the corners of the sheets (58). In another form (Figs. 16 and 17), the auxiliary holder (72) is a flat sheet provided with several vertical series of inclined slots (56) to receive the corners of sheets or cheques (58). A modified main holder (100, Figs. 19-23), made of plastics material has cuts therein to provide pairs of transversely spaced projections in the form of clips (102) just below mid-way thereof to engage notches (108) in the main record sheets (106), and similar clips (104) near the top of the holder to engage notches (110) in carbon sheets (112). Further diagonal cuts in the holder provide clips (118) for additional sheets or cheques. The holder (100) is a long sheet which can be folded on itself to provide an upper flap (116) which will cover the various clips for smooth insertion in a typewriter, and the lower end of the folded flap has a series of slits (120) forming loops (122) through which is threaded a strip (124) bearing column headings to aid writing or typing on the record sheets. In a further device, the holder (100a, Figs. 24-26), is provided with a fold-over flap (116a), has a row of struck-out clips (102a) at one edge, and each of the record sheets (106a) has threaded through slits therein, a plastics &c. strip (108a) having a notch (108b) at its end for engagement with a clip (102a). The holder also has folded flanges (12a, 12b) for enclosing the sides of the record sheets, and positioning guides 114a for those sheets. Further modifications (Figs. 27-29, Figs. 30-32, and Figs. 34-37) of the last device are concerned with variations of means for attaching the strip (108a) to the holder. Another holder (100d, Fig. 39) has a central vertical row of struck-out clips (102d), for engagement in notches (108d<SP>1</SP>) on the top edge of a record sheet (106d), and a series of horizontal struck-out clips (102e) for support of a record sheet . A similar holder (100f, Figs. 43) and (100g, Fig. 44) has modified clips (16c or 102g) thereon for engaging record sheets.
