I, HUGO LOEWENBACH, residing at No. 2824 Wells Street, in the city of Milwaukee,
county of Milwaukee, and State of Wisconsin, United States of America, Printer, do
hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:--
3
The invention relates to Receipt and Record Books, such as are used by merchants,
manufacturers, and others in shipping freight and express matter, and consists
primarily of a series of blank leaves of thin paper extending the entire width of the
hook, having between them one or more other blank leaves of similar material of less
width than the first named leaves.
The widest leaves in the book are divided vertically, near the end where they are
bound or stitched together, by a row of indentations or perforations, so as to leave a
narrow stub when one of these wide leaves has been removed. The narrower leaves
are stitched or secured permanently to the book, and when the book is to be used a
sheet of carbon transfer paper is placed between one of these wide detachable leaves
and the adjacent narrow permanent leaf and the upper leaf written upon (as by a lead
pencil) when the matter thus written will be instantly copied by the carbon sheet on
the leaf below, and then the detachable leaf can be torn out leaving the other leaf,
similarly marked, permanently in place.
For a duplicate book, I alternate the wide detachable and the narrow permanent
leaves, but I may make a triplicate book by putting two detachable leaves between
each two of the permanent leaves.
The great advantage of having the detachable leaves wider than the permanent
leaves lies in the fact that as the said former leaves are torn out, the leaves left will be
of uniform width and of less width than such removed leaves were, and hence, the
moment the book is opened or taken for use, the first or top wide leaf that shows
beyond the edge of the narrow leaves will be the first one to use, and thus a saving of
time is effected which otherwise would be consumed in hunting through the book to
find where the unused leaves began.

page_text: I, HUGO LOEWENBACH, residing at No. 2824 Wells Street, in the city of Milwaukee,
county of Milwaukee, and State of Wisconsin, United States of America,. Printer, 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 :-
The invention relates to Receipt and Record Books such as are used by merchants,
manufacturers, and others in shipping freight and express matter, and consists primarily
of a series of blank leaves of thin paper extending the entire width of the book, having
between them one or more other blank leaves of similar material of less width than
the first named leaves, and adapted to be used with sheets of carbon transfer paper, all
as will be bereinafter described with reference to the accompanying drawings and
subsequently claimed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of one form of my present invention, which I term a
duplicate book.
-
Figure 2 is a like view of another form of my said invention, which I term a
triplicate book.
Figure 3 is a like view, illustrating another form of my said invention showing
another style of triplicate book.
Figure 4 is another view of the form of book shown in Figure 3, illustrating the
said style of book ready for use.
All of the figures of the drawings represent books from which the detachable leaves
have been partly removed, and hence show only the narrow permanent- leaves at the
left hand side.
In all the styles or forms of books illustrated by me, a certain number of the leaves
are originally of substantially the entire width of the book covers A A, but said widest
leaves near the end where they are bound or stitched together are divided vertically
by a row of indentations or perforations, a, so as to leave a narrow stub, b; when one
of these wide detachable leaves has been removed. The narrower, leaves are stitched
or bound permanently together, and to the stubs of the detachable leaves, and in the
use of the book sheets or pieces of carbon transfer paper are interposed between the
upper leaf or portion of leaf to be written upon, and the leaf or leaves below that are
designed to receive carbon-transfers of such writing, so that the entries are made at
ד זי

page_text: one time on all the leaves desired, after which the detachable leaf or leaves thus written
on, may be torn out, leaving the entry on the permanent leaf for future reference.
As I have illustrated several forms of my said invention, I will first describe the
styles of books shown in Figures 1 and 2.
In the form of my device shown in Figure 1 these detachable wide leaves, C, are
alternated with narrower leaves, B, permanently bound into the book and not
detachable.
In the form of device shown in Figure 2 a similar arrangement exists, except that between
the first permanent narrow leaf B and first wide detachable leaf C there is interposed a
narrow detachable leaf, I), with a vertical row of perforations, c, dividing the main or
detachable portion of said leaf D from its stub d, which latter is permanently bound
into the book like the stub b of the wide detachable leaf and the permanent leaf B,
and this arrangement is continued throughout the entire book, and, besides this, some
portion of the edge or one of the corners of the leaf B is cut out or off, as shown at e,
so that a portion of each leaf D will be exposed when the corresponding leaf B is flat
thereon, and this exposed portion (marked f) may have, if preferred, any suitable
inscription (such as "Tear out") printed thereon, and a like inscription may, if desired,
be printed at any suitable place (as at the point marked g) on the leaf C. The upper
portion of every leaf, above the line h, may be printed appropriately to order with the
name and address of the user, while below this line the items or other matter.may be
written, (on the permanent leaf B.) and if the carbon transfer sheet or sheets E be in
place then a duplicate (or triplicate) of this writing will appear upon the sheet C, or
the sheets D and C, (according to which book is used,) and these leaves may be torn
out for obvious purposes.
In Figures 3 and 41 show, as stated, another form of my triplicate book. In this
form the detachable leaves Care, as before, of practically the same width as the book-
covers A A, but as the said covers, in this form, are much wider than in the forms
shown in Figures 1 and 2, the result is that said detachable leaves are practically
double the width of the permanent leaves B, and instead of using extra and narrow
detachable leaves D, to form a triplicate book (as in Figure 2) I divide the wide
detachable leaves into two nearly equal sections, by an additional vertical line of per-
forations, or indentations, a', marking the outer or right hand portion of said divided
wide detachable leaf C. Figure 3 clearly shows the construction of this form of my
triplicate book, and Figure 4 illustrates its method of use. A carbon-transfer paper
sheet E is placed over the section marked C, in Figure 3, and the right-hand leaf B,
Figure 3, smoothed down over that, and another carbon-paper sheet E, placed over
said leaf B, and then the upper section C', shown in Figure 3, is turned over to the
left, as shown in Figure 4, and on this surface (which is properly ruled, as shown)
the entries are made, and then the sections C and C are removed, leaving the just
described leaf B, with the (carbon) entries thereon, and the stub c of the leaf C C¹
just detached, in the book. Instead of using the two described pieces of carbon
transfer paper. E E, I may employ one piece, of double width, suitably folded.
The great advantage of having the detachable leaves wider than the permanent
leaves lies in the fact that as the said former leaves are torn out, the leaves left will be
of uniform width and of less width than such removed leaves were, and hence, the
moment the book is opened or taken for use, the first or top wide leaf that shows
beyond the edge of the narrow leaves will be the first one to use, and thus a saving of
time is effected which otherwise would be consumed in hunting through the book to
find where the unused leaves began.
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 carbon copying receipt and record book consisting of a series of blank leaves
of thin paper extending the entire width of the book, having between them one or
more other blank leaves of similar material of less width than the first named

page_text: 2. In a carbon copying receipt and record book, the combination of series of
permanent and detachable leaves bound together, each of the former having a portion
of. its edge cut off or out, so as to expose part of the leaf below.
3. A record and receipt book consisting of alternate permanent and detachable
leaves, the latter being of greater width than the former, and provided with a vertical
line of perforations adjacent to the stub of each detachable leaf, which latter are
adapted to be folded over the permanent leaves and interposed pieces of carbon-transfer
paper, for the purpose of making manifold entries at one and the same time..
