Book Maker do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My Invention has for its object a spring tube binder for books sections or other
papers whereby I am enable to insert papers sections &c. with facility and can
withdraw them with equal facility.
On carrying on my Invention I adopt mainly the following arrangements (taking
as example a pocket book or portfolio.
To the inside of the back of the pocket book or portfolio I fix a tube or tubes at
any required distance apart or any length the tube or tubes may be required the tube
or tubes are securaly fixed in the back of the book or portfolio so as to make the
tube or tubes stationary the tube or tubes can be made of any metle or other material
can be used but must be kept quite straight to prevent the action getting out of
order to the inside of the tube or tubes I use a spiral spring or elastic to the ends
of the spiral spring or elastic inserted in the inside of the tube or tubes to which I
attacli peicies of wire bent over the tube or tubes and crooked up each end each end
of the tube or tubes being sufficiently closed up at the ends so as to prevent the
spring or elastic showing when pulled out the wires used. are free to move each end
of the tube or tubes and are made any required length so as to prevent the books
sections or papers moving out of position when in the case or portfolio the wires are
drawn out with thumb and finger when filling the pocket book or portfolio the books
sections or papers can be withdrawn by pulling one end of the book or section
and will release itself from the other end without removing the wire with thumb
and finger. Tubes can be made seperate or together so as to prevent weight in
small cases.

HARRY ROME STUTCHBURY 307 Southampton Street Peckham Road S.E. 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 :-
My Invention has for its object a spring tube binder for books sections or other
papers whereby I am enable to insert papers sections &c. with facility and can with-
draw them with equal facility on carrying on my Invention I adopt mainly the
following arrangement (taking as example a pocket book or portfolio.
To the inside of the back of the pocket book or portfolio I fix a tube or tubes at
any required distance apart or any length the tube or tubes may be required the
tube or tubes are securely fixed in the back of the book or portfolio so as to make
the tube or tubes stationary the tube or tubes can be made of any metal or other
material can be used but must be kept quite straight to prevent the action getting
out of order to the inside of the tube or tubes I use a spiral spring or elastic to the
ends of the spiral spring or elastic inserted in the inside of the tube or tubes to
which I attach peices of wire bent over the tube or tubes and crooked up each end
each end of the tube or tubes being sufficiently closed up at the ends so as to prevent
the spring or elastic showing when pulled out the wires used are free to move each
end of the tube or tubes and are made any required length so as to prevent the

books sections or papers can be withdrawn by pulling one end of the book or section
and will release itself from the other end without removing the wire tubes can be
made seperate or together so as to prevent weight in small cases.
On carrying on my Invention I adopt mainly the following arrangement taking as
example a pocket book or portfolio.
To the inside of the back of the pocket book or portfolio I fix a tube or tubes at
any required distance apart or any length the tube or tubes may be required for
additional strength in portfolioes I use a wood back or other material strong enough
to allow the tubes to be inserted by cutting grooves in the wood or other material
used for strength in the back of portfolioes this additional strength will only be
required when the rods run the whole. length of the portfolioes the grooves are cut
sufficiently deep allowing the tubes to lay quite flat therein to the inside of the tube
I place a spiral spring securely fixed at one end the other end being quite free I
insert a steel rod to the free end securely fasened to the end of spring the steel rod
is bent over sufficient distance to allow it to be withdrawn so as to insert the papers.
with ease the other end of the tube is bent up sufficient distance so as to form a
round portion to receive the rod and securely fasten when papers are placed in in.
addition to the end of the rod attached to the spiral spring inside the tube
I form a kind of hinge joint by cutting a small slot in one peice of the rod and
flatning out the bent end of the rod I insert the flatened portion into the slot drilling.
a small hole and riviting through so as to form the hinge joint so that when large
papers are to be inserted the rod can be thrown right back.

be inserted.
