Title: Improvements in or relating to filing and reference devices
IPC: A47B63/02
Filed: 1922-09-09
Abstract: 212,586. Bloxam, A. G., (Costmeter Co.). Sept. 9, 1922. Pivoted-leaf files; fold-engaging files; boxes and cabinets; racks.-A filing and reference device comprises a box or container and a number of separate leaf or card holders adapted to be inserted in the container and withdrawn therefrom to a position of use, each card holder being formed in two parts hinged together and having secured thereto a series of cards in overlapping relation. Each part of a leaf-holder 100, Fig. 8, consists of a sheet-metal plate turned up at one edge to form a groove 105 and turned up at the opposite edge to form hinge complements 106, Fig. 11, and a groove 107. The cards or leaves are attached to flexible wire members 130 by their edges or by the wire being threaded through a fold in the leaves. The ends of the members 130 are provided with rollers 131 engaging the grooves 105, 107 and spacing the leaves so that a margin of each can be seen and each leaf can be turned over to expose its opposite face. On the bottom member 130, a metal plate 144 is attached which serves as a coverplate and also as a supporting surface when it is desired to write on the underside of the adjacent leaves. Two bars 141, 142, adapted to fit in the grooves 105, 107 and connected by a flexible wire 143, retain the members 130 in the grooves. A doubled strip 152 of transparent material, reinforced at the fold by a strip of metal 155, is attached to the lower edges of the parts of each leaf holder so that an index slip 154 may be inserted. The holders 100 are inserted in separate compartments in the box 20 formed by an internal framework consisting of a series of oblique bars 50 and horizontal guides 52, Figs. 1 and 7, spaced apart on the bolts 51, 70 attached to the box. The upper ends of the bars 50 are connected to a tie bolt 29 which is supported by horizontal rods 24, 25 attached near the front of the box. Each leaf-holder is inserted in one of the compartments so formed and its hinged rod 108 is provided with a hook 110 at one end which engages a shoulder 111 on the guide 52 so that the holder is not completely dissociated from its compartment but can be opened for reference. The horizontal rods 24, 25 serve as guides for the door 22 of the box, the back having flanges 31, 32 which prevent its complete withdrawal but allow it to tilt down and be locked in the closed position.

Title: Improvements in or relating to closures or stopper caps for use on bottles, or other containers
IPC: B65D41/04
Filed: 1925-10-05
Abstract: 265,265. British Sure Seal Co., Ltd., and Huxley, J. H. Oct. 5, 1925. Sealing devices for stoppers and other closures.-In a bottle or other container, two or more tongues on either the container or its closure are bent over the closure e or container to secure the closure in the sealing position, one or more cams or inclined planes being provided on either the closure or the container to force out one or more or all of the tongues on relative movement between the closure and the container and thus leave the closure free for removal from the container. The cap 1 is formed with depending tongues 2 and the container 3 with a. flange 4 the undersurface of which is undulated. The tongues are bent beneath the flange at its recessed portions 5 so that if subsequently the cap is rotated relatively to the container, the raised portions 6 will unload the tongues and permit removal of the cap. In a modification the undulations are formed on the vertical face of the flange 4. The cap may be secured by a single tongue 2, Fig. 6, and a wide tongue 7, the flange of the container being provided with one recessed portion only. In other forms, the tongues are formed on a flanged metal ring which holds down a stopper comprising a disc of glass, porcelain or composite material. The inclined planes may be constituted by interrupted or continuous threads on the container, the cap being provided with projections or threads to cooperate therewith. Fig. 24 shows a screwed annulus 20<a> sealed by tongues 2 and formed with an inner flange 24 adapted to retain the disc closure 25 of a milk bottle. The flange of the cap may be milled to facilitate rotation thereof. In another form the tongues are made somewhat resilient and constitute holding means which adapt the cap to be used to re-seal the container. The tongues may be formed on the container. As shown in Fig. 7, the tongues 2a on the container are bent over the stopper which rests on a flange 11 formed in the container. A knob 9 or other device facilitates rotation of the stopper to bring cams 6<a> beneath the tongues to release the. stopper. The container may have one narrow and one wide tongue only equivalent to the tongue 2, 7, Fig. 6, on the closure.
