Flexible-band files; fastenings.-In loose-leaf ledgers comprising a ratchet-wheel and pawl for restraining the rotation of a spindle by which tapes are wound up to draw together a pair of clamping-bars, improved means are provided for withdrawing the pawl and retaining it thus withdrawn. The end plate o of one of the clamping-bars is provided with a key-receiving aperture p having two side enlargements q, r, and on the inside of the plate o is fixed a catchplate s having a similarly shaped key-aperture and also a notch t. The key, Fig. 7, is provided with a finger k, a lug n, and an internal spring m. To operate the binder, assuming it to be wound up, the key is passed through the aperture p on to the shaped spindle-end a so that the lug n passes through the enlargement q. When the lug n is inside, clear of the plate s, the key can be turned till the lug n snaps into the notch t under the influence of the spring m. During this movement the finger k actuates an arm i on the spring-controlled pawl g, and raises and holds the pawl from the ratchetwheel f, so that the tapes can be unwound. To re-wind the tapes, the key is pressed in to release the lug n and turned to allow the lug to return outside through the enlargement r, in which position the key can be rotated to wind up the tapes without the finger k contacting with the arm i.

Abstract: 12,726. Scott, R. W. May 31. Stockings and socks; undergarments; combinations.-A turned welt in which the reverse side shows to the front, as shown in Fig. 1, is made upon a plain web, such as a stocking, undergarment sleeve, &c., by retiring the loops knitted upon alternate needles during the initial course by means of the web-holders s, which have bevelled front edges, as shown in Fig. 2. Alternate web-holders are retired after the initial course is knitted, and then advanced so that the loops upon alternate needles get below, as shown in Fig. 5. Knitting then proceeds upon all the needles, but the loops originally on the alternate needles are not freed until the welt is finished, and when finally cast off serve to attach the welt to the web. By retiring half the web-holders in one course and the remainder in the next course, a welt is obtained which is secured at each wale to the web. If the stocking &c. is commenced at the toe, an additional piece of fabric is made after completion of the welt, to prevent unravelling of the welt. A welt may be knitted on half the needles, the other half being retired after completing the initial course until the welt is finished.
