PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to Copy Books, Exercise Books, and
the like.
I REGINALD GILL of 2 Wavertree House, Loat's Road, Clapham, London, S.W.
Publisher, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:
Copy books, exercise books, and other books intended mainly for educational
uses, are, in accordance with my improvements, produced as follows:-The top
of each of the leaves of the book has a perforated head line or space of suitable
depth on this space would be set out say letters, characters, drawings, sketches
or writing to be copied or sums to be calculated on the portion of each sheet
below the perforations; thus providing for the ready detaching of the two
portions of each sheet. The front cover of the book would be of limp, pliable,
paper or other suitable pliable, limp material. The cover at back of the book
would be of some suitable stiff, even surfaced material-such as " strawboard,"
or cardboard for instance-to serve as a tablet upon which, as a firm surface,
the leaves of the book would rest and so facilitate the operation of writing, or
working upon the leaves. The third element of novelty in my invention consists
in attaching to the end edge of the stiff backing or cover aforesaid, a flap piece
of unsized paper to be utilised for blotting up or drying ink writing, drawing
or ciphering on every or any page of the book; thus, when said blotting flap
is not required, it would be folded down upon the inside face of the stiff back
cover, and when it is to be used, would be opened outwards from the attached
end, and then be introduced between any of the leaves of the book, and used
as blotting paper.
Deted this 25th day of February 1895.
