Improvements in Registers and Holders for Manuscripts, Music and
the like, also applicable for Use as Directories.
I, LEOFOLD GILLRATII, of 28, Lütticherstrasse, Cologne, Germany, Merchant,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a new or improved construction of registers for
manuscripts, music and the like and has for its chief object certain improve-
ments in the construction of the register as well as in the mode of indexing
the same.
In the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 is a front view of the register, Fig. 2
is an upper view of the same, Fig. 3 is an upper view of a modification of the
construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
The register consists of a piece of paste-board, folded together in zig-zag form.
As may be seen from the drawing a great many compartments are thereby
formed which are open alternately from the right or the left hand side of the
register.
As may be seen in Fig. 2 the upper side of the register is adapted to take up
the index of the register. At the same height to which the line for taking up tho
contents of a compartment is drawn, a flap of a tongue is fixed to the edge
of the paste-board separating this compartment from the following one. To
facilitate the finding of the particular tongue or flap, arrows may be drawn
pointing to the said tongue or flap which serves for opening its respective com-
partment.
Instead of writing the contents of the respective compartments on the lines
or arrows mentioned above small cut-outs may be provided, behind which small
slips of paper bearing the respective remarks may be placed.
When using the register as a directory for a city or a district, a map of this
city or district may be provided on the outside of the register as shown in Fig. 3
of the drawing. The different parts of the city or district as well as the flaps
of the respective compartments, are in this case provided with numbers or charac-
ters so that after finding the number or character of this district, the compart-
ment containing the particulars relating to this district can be found imme-
diately.

I, LEOPOLD GILLRATHI, of 28, Lütticherstrasse, Cologne, Germany, Merchant,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
This invention relates to a new or improved construction of registers for
manuscripts, music and the like and has for its chief object certain improve-
ments in the construction of the register as well as in the mode of indoxing
the same.
In the drawing, accompanying the Provisional Specification, Fig. 1 is a front
view of the register, Fig. 2 is an upper view of the same, Fig. 3 is an upper
view of a modification of the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
As
The registor consists of a paste-board a folded together in zig-zag form.
may be seen from the drawing a great many compartments are formed hereby
which are open alternately from the right or the left hand side of the register.
As may be seen in Fig. 2 the upper side of the register is adapted to take
up the index of the register. This index is divided by a vertical line in two
columns, tho left hand column serves for taking up the contents of the compart-
ments open on the left hand side, the right hand column of those open on the right
hand side. In each of these vertical columus so many horizontal lines are drawn as
there are compartments open on the respective side, each of these lines being
adapted to take up the nomination of the contents of one compartment. Now
the edges formed by folding the paste-board in zig-zag form are each provided
with a flap or tongue b, so that there is a flap for each compartment. These
Haps are each arranged in the prolongation of the line which serves for taking
up the contents of the compartments to which the respective flap belongs, so that
after finding the nomination of the contents of a compartment in the index, the
respective compartment can be found immediately by its flap being situated in
the prolongation of the line upon which the nomination of the contents is
written.
To facilitate the finding of the particular tongue or flap arrows may be
drawn pointing to the tongue or flap which serves for opening the respective
compartment.
Instead of writing the contents of the respective compartments on the lines
or arrows mentioned above, the paste-board forming the upper cover may be
provided with a small cut-out for each compartment after the manner of photo-
graphic albums, so that small cards bearing the nominations of the contents
of the compartments may be shifted behind these cut-outs.
When using the register as a directory for a city or a district, a map of this
city or district may be provided on the out-side of the register as shown in
Fig. 3 of the drawing. The different parts of the city or district as well as the
flaps of the respective compartments are in this case provided with numbers or
characters so that after finding the number of character of this district the com-
partment containing the scriptures relating to this district can be found imme.
diately.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what
I claim is:

page_text: paste-board folded together in zig-zag form with an index provided on the cover
of the register, said iudex being divided in two vertical columns the left hand
column being adapted to take up the contents of the compartments open on the
left hand side, the right hand column of those open on the right hand side, and
Haps secured to the edges formed by folding the paste-board mentioned above, as
and for the purpose set forth.
2. In registers for manuscripts, music and the like, as claimed in Claim 1,
the arrangement of arrows in the index, each of which arrows points to one of
the flaps and is adapted to take up the nomination of the contents of that com-
partment, which is marked by the respective flap.
Dated this 8th day of August 1000.
