Title: Improvements in or relating to Loose-leaf Account and other Books.
Inventor: BALMFORD JOHN ALFRED
IPC: B42F13/00
Filed: 1909-02-19
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 4079. Balmford, J. A. Feb. 19. Post files; leaves; covers; locking-followers.- Loose-leaf account or other books are arranged to receive any number of leaves up to a predetermined number, the leaves being numbered and removable at will, and a separate record thereof being kept. The leaves a, Fig. 18, may be formed with recesses b at the top left-hand corner, and with projections c at the bottom corner, or vice versa. Holes d with slits e extending horizontally or vertically or in both directions enable the leaves to be filed, and projections along the left-hand edge may be folded over and gummed down or otherwise secured over the slits in order to prevent removal of the leaves from the filing-pins. The projections c may be similarly folded and secured over the adjacent slits, and, in this event, the projections c and the recesses b may be formed at opposite ends on alternate leaves. The holder for the leaves comprises covers f, h of cardboard &c., covered if desired with cloth, leather, &c. secured to metal plates i, j, which are screwed to a back y of wood &c., and to which are fastened two or more straight or curved filing-pins m, n. One or more removable pins o are provided with screw-threaded heads to engage holes in the plate i. These pins pass through holes in the leaves that are not provided with entrance slits. One or more racks r, secured to the back g, are adapted to be engaged by projections t on a follower-bar s, which is provided with slots constructed as shown in Fig. 9, engaging the pins m, n, and with one or more holes v to receive the pins o. The leaves may be numbered in duplicate, Fig. 18, so that, when a leaf is removed from the holder, its number is removed with the locking-portion c and may be preserved in a book &c. Holes d<1> in the leaves are for subsequent binding, but they may have entrance slits for use with fixed pins m, n, or be used for additional removable pins o. When the holder is first used, a small number of leaves may be inserted therein, and individual leaves that are to record no further transactions may be removed when desired, their numbers being preserved in a book &c. At the end of a fixed number of years, the remainder of the leaves are removed whether they are full or not, and the details of outstanding transactions are entered upon fresh leaves. By this means, the accounts of any year are limited to certain leaves, the numbers of which are known. By comparing the leaves in the holder with the record kept of the leaves as they are used, missing leaves may be traced. After a fixed term, the removed leaves may be stitched together to form a permanent book. In a ledger, the accounts may be arranged like a dictionary as regards the names of customers and towns.

Abstract: 4231. Kreyssig, A. Feb. 20. Couplings, automatic. - An automatic coupling for vehicles comprises two interlocking hook-shaped members which are locked together by embracing-frames when coupling takes place. The usual draw-bar a has a casing b with sectorlike slots c through which passes loosely a pin d rigidly secured to a bar c. The bar e has a ball f mounted on it, which fits into a socket g in the casing b and forms a ball-and-socket joint. The casing is funnel-shaped at h to allow freedom of movement to the bar e, which is centralized by a spring r fitting into a cap q; this cap is concaved and fits over the convex end of the casing. The front end of the spring abuts against the coupling-head i, which is shaped as shown in Fig. 7, with a projection n and a pyramidical end n. Guiding-surfaces l are also provided. The engaging coupling- members are symmetrical, and, when coupling takes place, the members i are locked together by frames 3 with bevelled surfaces 8, which bear upon the bevelled portions p of the member i. The frames 3 are carried by levers 1 pivoted on the pins d and they are held raised before coupling, by counterweighted levers t, pivoted to the members i, upon which rest projections 4 on the frame 3. When the coupling-heads come together, the points n disengage the levers t from the projections 4, and the frames 3 then fall and lock the coupling. The levers 1 are held in position by catches z on bell-crank levers x, y mounted on pins carried by links fixed to the pins d. To uncouple, the catch z is disengaged and the lever 1 is depressed, so that a projection 5 on the frame 3 enters between the coupling-heads, whereupon the vehicles may be separated.
