Year: 1884

page_text: I, ALEXANDER SLADE of 169 Great Portland Street in the County of Middlesex,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN RECEPTACLES FOR HOLDING AND SECURING PERIODICALS AND PAPERS, to be as
follows:
This Invention relates to a combination of devices for the better securing of
periodicals, papers and such like. The improvements consist of a sliding or
extensible back, by which means few or many papers may be held in a receptacle
like a book cover or portfolio, the back being arranged to slide and overlap one of
the covers, preferably over the inside of the cover, so that the back can be secured
to the exact width desired; combined with this improved back and secured on
cords are a series of thin metal blades which serve to hold in position the papers
over and between which they are passed-the cords or equivalents being secured
temporarily or permanently in any convenient manner to the covers of the receptacle
or portfolio The sliding back is secured by a strap and buckle arrangement inside
the cover The accompanying Drawing illustrates a convenient mode of performing
the improvements Fig. 1 is a plan view of receptacle open flat-Fig. 2 an end or

blades are strung, said cords being secured at each end, one end being temporarily
secured by plates E-F strap for adjusting width of back-G sliding back-H slide
board under which the back slides-K cover. In some cases indexed sheets or
tickets may be affixed to the blades C, so that papers filed and secured by them
may be thus indexed.

This Invention relates to a combination of devices for the better securing of
periodicals, papers and such like. The improvements consist of a sliding or
extensible back, by which means few or many papers may be held in a receptacle
like a book cover or portfolio, the back being arranged to slide and overlap one of
the covers, preferably over the inside of the cover, so that the back can be secured
to the exact width desired, combined with this improved back and secured on
cords are a series of thin metal blades which serve to hold in position the papers
over and between which they are passed-the cords or equivalents being secured
temporarily or permanently in any convenient manner to the covers of the receptacle
or portfolio.
The sliding back is secured by a strap and buckle arrangement inside the
cover.
The accompanying Drawing illustrates a convenient mode of performing the
improvements.
Fig. 1 is a plan view of receptacle open flat. Fig. 2 an end or top view. Fig. 3
end or side view. Fig. 4 end view of portfolio closed and without metal blades.
Fig. 5 metal blade side and edge view. A are periodicals or papers. C metal
blades, D cords on which said blades are strung, said cords being secured at each
end, one end being temporarily secured by plates E; F strap for adjusting width
of back; G sliding back; H slide board or guide piece under which the back slides;
K cover.
In some cases indexed sheets or tickets may be affixed to the blades C,
so that papers filed and secured by them may be thus indexed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
1. The extensible back to the receptacle arranged to slide and overlap so that
said back can be secured to the desired width substantially in the manner and for
the purposes set forth.
2. The cord and blades for holding and indexing papers in position in the said
receptacle, or in similar receptacles generally, substantially in the manner and for
the purposes set forth.
