Paper File.
I, HENRY IGEL Engraver of 21 Blyth Street Newcastle-upon-Tyne County
of Northumberland do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention consists of a "file" for the filing or stringing of papers thus as to
enable each or any sheet to be removed without detaching the others, at the same
time securely guarding the falling off of any sheet & closing securely without
springs, screws, or any easy disaranged parts. I perform same in the following
manner
I bend a metalic tube pointed at one extremity into a segment of a circle and fix
same to a back inserting into it the blunt end of a steel or other metalic wire
previously curved to the same radious as the inside of the tube, near the centre
upon this wire is a projection so as to prevent it entering more than the required
distance; this wire is pointed at one end and an eye is cut when intended for
stringing papers. To close the "file" the pointed end of the wire is brought
forward by pulling on the said projection it enters the tube closing into the form
of a ring. To open, it is only necessary to press back upon the projection when
the wire slides into the other end of the tube leaving a small opening under the
point of the wire.
