PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Frames for Holding Paper Stencils when Printing
from the same.
I, WALTER BINNS, of 34, Snow Hill, in the City of London, Manager, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:.
The invention relates to improvements in frames for holding paper stencils when
printing from the same.
Heretofore the upper or removable frame for holding the stencil securely on the
hinged frame, when made to be used with the cyclostyle or like stencil, has not been
well adapted to be used with a type-writer stencil, as the latter, on account of the
extra sheet or sheets of paper used, was frequently torn in fixing the same in the
frame.
Now my invention relates to improvements whereby the frame is equally well
adapted for use with both kinds of stencil.
For this purpose, instead of employing a single stud or screw on the upper or
removable frame to act with each hook pivoted on the hinged frame, I employ a
double set of studs or screws in combination with the said hooks, one set of said
studs or screws being placed at a short distance from the other set, and the one
set slightly higher than the other. Thus, by turning the upper or removable
frame round, either set of studs or pins can be brought into position to act with the
hooks, and thus either slightly more or less space allowed to suit the stencil used.
I also prefer to reverse the positions of the tongues and grooves ordinarily used
in connection with the upper or removable frame and the hinged frame.
Dated this 13th day of April 1897.

Improvements in Frames for Holding Paper Stencils when Printing

I, WALTER BINNS, of 34, Snow Hill, in the City of London, Manager, 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:

well adapted to be used with a type-writer stencil, as the latter, on account of the
extra sheet or sheets of paper used, was frequently torn in fixing the same in the
frame.
Now my invention relates to improvements whereby the frame is equally well
adapted for use with both kinds of stencil.
I will describe my invention with the aid of the accompanying drawings in
which Fig. 1 is a plan, Fig. 2 an edge view of the non-hinged side and Fig. 3 a
cross section of my improved paper stencil holding frame.
According to my invention instead of employing a single stud or screw on the
upper or removable frame d to act with each hook pivoted on the hinged frame c
I employ a double set of studs or screws a, a¹ on the sides and ends thereof in
combination with the said hooks bone set of said studs or screws a being placed at
a short distance from the other set a¹, and the one set a slightly higher than the other
set a. Thus, by turning the upper or removable frame d round end for end, either
set of studs or pins a, al can be brought into position to act with the hooks b and thus
either slightly more or less space allowed to suit the stencil used. I also prefer to
reverse the positions of the tongues e and grooves f ordinarily used in connection
with the upper or removable frame and the hinged frame, the tongues e being fixed
to the lower or hinged frame c and the grooves f being formed in the upper remov-
able frame d.
、་
The writing and printing board or bed 9 and its carrying frame g¹ are of usual
construction.
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. In frames for holding paper stencils when printing from the same the com-
bination therewith of a removable frame having two sets of studs or pins on its
sides and ends, one set being slightly higher than the other, to act in combination
with hooks on the hinged franie, substantially as herein set forth, and as illus-
trated in the accompanying drawings.
2. In frames for holding paper stencils when printing from the same the combina-
tion with the bed or board, of a hinged frame having hooks at its sides and ends,
and tongues on its upper surface and a removable frame having two sets of studs
or pins, one set being slightly above the other, to act in combination with the hooks,
and grooves on its underside to act in combination with the said tongues, sub-
stantially as herein set forth and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
