A New or Improved Device for Binding or Holding Together Sheets
of Music and the like.
I, THEODORE WRIGHT 26 Westminster Bridge Rd. London Gentleman do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascentained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to a new or improved device for binding or holding
together sheets of music and the like, and consists of a socket or clip piece which is
passed through the leaves or sheets of music to be bound or held together, a rod
or wire being passed through said socket pieces or clips for the pur-
pose of holding or binding the sheets or leaves together. The sockets
or clip pieces are carried upon strips or bars and these strips or bars may
be attached to each other as required by means of a rod or wire passing through
eyelets attached to the strips or bars carrying the sockets or clips. By this
arrangement the number of sheets or leaves bound or held together may be varied
[Price 8d l

page_text: as required. Suitable strengthening pieces may be employed to prevent the tear-
ing of the leaves or sheets.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will now refer to the
annexed drawings, in which:-
Figure 1. is an end view shewing the binding rod and clipping piece.
Figure 2. clevation of same.
a are the rods which carry the clipping piece b. These rods are connected
together by means of the wire or piece c which is passed through the apertures d
in the clipping piece b. The projecting part e upon the clipping piece 6 is passed
through the sheets or leaves to be bound and the wire fis passed through the
apertures g as shewn. It will be seen that various sheets of music or other written
or printed matter may be bound together, upon the rod a. The rods may then be
readily connected or disconnected from each other through the medium of the
wire or piece c. If desired, the parts of the sheets through which the projecting
part e passes may be strengthened by means of strips or pieces of material which
may be attached to same by any convenient ceinent. If desired, instead of
employing apertures upon the projecting parte I may employ forked or slotted
openings so that the wire which maintains the sheets in position may be pressed
into same instead of being passed through apertures.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. One or more bars or rods carrying clipping or attachment pieces to which
the sheets of music or the like are attached by means of a wire passing through
apertures inside clipping or attachment pieces, these attachment pieces being
connected together by means of a wire or a rod.
