Improvements in or connected with Holders for Notice Cards,
Tablets, Index Leaves of Paper Filing Cases, and the like.
I GEORG PINTUS of 7 Adlerstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany,
Proprietor of Printing Works, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
:-
This invention relates to holders for notice cards, tablets, index leaves of paper
filing cases, and for other articles which require to be held together in such a
manner that they can be readily detached when so desired.
The holder consists of a strip of sheet metal upon which are rigidly secured two..
or more U shaped bows; arranged one above the other transversely across the
sheet metal strip.
The notice cards, tablets, index leaves of paper filing cases, or other articles to
be secured by the holder hereinbefore described are provided with bayonet slots in
their inner edges corresponding in number and position with the number and
position of U shaped bows on the metal strip of the holder. These bayonet slots
are slipped over the U shaped bows and the notice cards, index leaves &c. are thus
secured.
The Ushaped form of the bow has the advantage of enabling the separate
sheets, leaves, cards &c., to be easily and conveniently turned over after the manner
of the leaves of a book.

Improvements in or connected with Holders for Notice Cards,
Tablets, Index Leaves of Paper Filing Cases, and the like.
1 GEORG PINTUS of Adler Strasse 7, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany,
Printing Works Proprietor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to holders for notice cards, tablets, index leaves of paper
filing cases and for other articles which require to be held together in such a
manner that they can be readily detached when so desired.
The holder consists of a strip of sheet metal, wood or other firm material upon
which are rigidly secured two or more U shaped bows; arranged one above the
other transversely across the sheet metal strip or other firm material.
The notice cards, tablets, index leaves of paper filing cases, or other articles to
be secured by the holder hereinbefore described are provided with bayonet slots in
their inner edges corresponding in number and position with the number and position
of U shaped bows on the metal or other strip of the holder. These bayonet slots
are slipped over the U shaped bows and the notice cards, index leaves &c. are thus
secured.
The Ushaped form of the bow has the advantage of enabling the separate
sheets, leaves, cards &c. to be easily and conveniently turned over after the manner
of the leaves of a book.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 is an elevation shewing an index leaf or tablet h secured on the

page_text: U shaped bows 6 by means of the bayonet slots.c. a is a metal, wood, or other
backing to which the U. shaped bows b are rigidly secured.
Figure 1 is a plan of Figure 1, and.
Figure 2 shews the device in perspective with a number of leaves or tablets h
and partially opened out. To remove the leaves h they are raised or drawn
longitudinally until the bows b are in the lower or horizontal parts c' of the bayonet
slots c, when the leaves h can be drawn off sideways.
For use on writing desks, bureaux etc., the article described above has been
modified by using a pillar, consisting of the metal foot e and a vertical pole d. Two
stars formed by two strips of tin bent to a rectangular shape and attached to the
pole, d keep two ellipses g, in which the register leaves h are hung, and by which
they are guided (see Figure 3).
"
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
1. A holder for notice cards, tablets, index leaves of paper filing cases and the
like, consisting of a backing having two or more U shaped bows secured thereto,
in combination with cards, tablets etc., having bayonet slots which can be passed
over the Ushaped bows and the cards, tablets &c., thus temporarily secured to the
backing substantially as and for the purpose herein before described and illustrated..
2. The modified form of holder for use on writing desks &c. described with
reference to Figure 3 of the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 16th day of May 1893.
