Improvements in or relating to Newspaper and other Files,
Portfolios, and the like.
I, ADOLPH PROSPER EGGIS, of Fribourg, in the Republic of Switzerland,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This improved file or portfolio enables one to collect or file newspapers,
periodicals, reviews, and other matter, at their receipt, so as to keep them
together for reading, or subsequent reference and prevent their being mislaid or
deteriorated.
J
Their being secured in this improved binding case or portfolio does not spoil
the papers at all, so that they can afterwards be given to the bookbinder to be
bound in book form.
The improved clássing binding case comprises the following parts viz.
a. A wrapper formed of two covers of cardboard wood or equivalent joined by a
back of wood leather or other material. In the inner part of said wrapper åre
fixed strings or equivalent which can pass through holes in the back in order
to be made fast around the necks of the studs projecting from the outer sides
of the covers, and
b. Wires provided with bends loops or equivalent.
!
j
In using this improved portfolio one opens the paper or review to be inserted
and perforates it at the back fold by means of a blade provided with points.
Then the bends or loops of one of the wires are introduced in the slits.
This being performed, one passes the strings through the loops which project
through the back of the paper, and through the holes in the back of the file and
then winds said strings around the studs.
+ }
The paper is then 'secured in the wrapper and others may be secured very
rapidly in the same way.
·
The wrapper not being provided at the back with rigid connections is free' to
extend as the number of reviews or papers increases.

Improvements in or relating to Newspaper and other Files,
Portfolios, and the like.
I, ADOLPH PROSPER EGGIS, of Fribourg, in the Republic of Switzerland,
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:-
This improved file or portfolio enables one to collect or file newspapers,
periodicals reviews, and other matter at their receipt, so as to keep them together
for reading or subsequent reference, and prevent their being mislaid or
deteriorated.
Their being secured in this improved binding case or portfolio does not spoil
the papers at all, so that they can afterwards be given to the bookbinder to be
bound in book formi.
The improved classing binding-case comprises the following parts viz.—
a. A wrapper formed of two covers D of cardboard wood or equivalent joined
by a back of wood, leather or other material. In the inner part of said wrapper
(Figure 2) are fixed strings or equivalent d which can pass through holes e in the
back in order to be made fast around the necks of the studs f(Fig. 3) projecting
from the outer sides of the covers, and
b. Wires g provided with bends, loops or equivalent,g' (Figure 1).
In using this improved portfolio one opens the paper or review to be inserted
and perforates it at the back fold as at P by means of a blade provided with
points. Then the bends or loops.g' of one of the wires are introduced in the
slits p.
The strings dare then passed through the loops g¹ which project through the
back of the paper, and through the holes e.in the back of the file and the strings
being afterwards wound around the studs f.
The paper is then secured in the wrapper and others may be secured very
rapidly in the same way.
The wrapper not being provided at the back with rigid connections is free to
extend as the number of reviews or papers increases.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is ;-
An improved portfolio binding-case or file characterized by the combination
with two covers D joined by a back and strings.deach fixed, at one end to one of
the covers of wires such as 9 provided with bends loops.or eyelets such as g¹ for
the strings the other cover carrying studs such as for securing the free end
of the strings substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying
