We, WILLIAM EDWARD COLEMAN of 27 Lothair Road Finsbury Park Middlesex
Manufacturing Stationer and FREDERICK GEORGE FENDER of "Whyteleaf"
Rydevale Road Balham Surrey Commercial Traveller do hereby declare the nature of
the said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following specification:-
This Invention has for its object an improvement in cases for duplicate and other
manifold copy books, books generally and the like whereby the duplicate copy
book is firmly secured to the cover or case in a simple and effective manner.
To a cover or case is fixed a strip of metal or other suitable material generally at
ends and extending from top to bottom or along top or bottom of said cover or case,
at a part between, a portion of the strip is indented, or a piece hinged on or
otherwise affixed so forming a resisting and engaging part to anything passed between
strip and cover. The part passed between is preferably the back cover of a book

page_text: having at suitable position a piece cut out allowing of the engaging lip or hinge to
pass through.
To take book out the lip or hinge is lifted out of cut in cover of book which thus
allows of its being withdrawn by sliding out.
In order that our invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect we have appended hereto a sheet of drawings in which
Figure 1. is a perspective view of a case or cover and the duplicate copy book
secured therein.
Figure 2. is an enlarged sectional view of part of the retaining strip, case and back
cover of duplicate copy book and
Figure 3. is a plan of the same.
In all the figures like parts are indicated by similar letters of reference.
According to our invention we attach in any suitable manner to the case or cover A
of a duplicate or other copy book, a, a strip, b, of metal or other springy material
extending from top to bottom of the back cover, c, of such case or cover A.
At or near the centre of the strip, b, is stamped or otherwise formed therein an
indentation, d, for the purpose hereinafter described. The outer cover or case, A,
has a recess, e, formed therein to receive the indented part, d, of the strip, b. The
back cover, a', of the duplicate or other manifold copy book, a, has a hole or
perforation, f, crescent shape in form cut therein, which when the cover a¹ of the
copy book, a, is passed between the strip, b, and the back or outer cover, c, the lip
formed by the indentation, d, in the strip 1 springs therein and thus prevents the
copy book from being withdrawn.
It will be understood that more than one indentation such as d may be employed
and that the shape of such indentation may be of other design than that shown.
B, is the carbon sheet fixed to the back cover, c, of the case A.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is.
1. In cases for duplicate and other manifold copy books books generally and the
like of the metallic or other strip having one or more indentations formed therein
substantially as herein described and shown in the accompanying drawings.
2. In cases for duplicate and other manifold copy books books generally and the
like of the metallic strip, b, having one or more indentations such as, d,
formed therein to engage in one or more perforations in the outer cover of the
duplicate or other manifold copy book books generally and the like substantially as
herein described and shown in the accompanying drawings.
3. In cases for duplicate and other inanifold copy books books generally and the
like substantially as herein shown and described.
