PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Paper Files or Holders.
1, FRANCIS HENRY KNIGHTS, 60 South Street, Reading, Berks, Dresscutter,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in files or holders for holding papers or
letters and principally for holding cut paper for memorandum in offices, paper for
wrapping parcels in shops, toilet paper in lavatories and like purposes.
In constructing my improved paper holder I take a straight sheet of brass, zinc,
tin, or other suitable material preferably about 4 inches long and one inch wide.
At one end I stamp out a hole A. for the purpose of hanging the holder on a wall,
or fastening to the counter in shops, or other suitable place. I attach at the other
end a hook shaped pin B. with which to hold the paper. I then cut or stamp a
strip C. as shewn in Figure 1. which strip is bent into the shape or configuration
shewn in Figure 2. so that the pin B. when filled with paper may be held in the
slot D. The holder is then attached to the wall or counter by means of the hole A.
and the paper pulled off as required. I do not limit myself to the exact form of
holder shewn in the drawings herewith.
