8 Claims.
This invention relates to improved binder and mounting structure for catalogues, directories, loose leaves, or the like, the invention covering particularly improved binder units and improved means adaptable for securing together the component parts of the binder units and also for detachably securing the binder units to a mounting board or panel.
An important object of the invention is `to pro- 10 vide binder units composed of similar halves of sheet metal provided with means for receiving and binding catalogues, loose leaves, or the like, with the halves at their ends having registering perforations for receiving individual spring clips l5 for detachably securing the halves together.
A further object vis to provide a mounting in the form of a board or panel, preferably of sheet metal, having rows of perforations for registering with the perforations in the binder units and through which perforations Vthe clips may be extended so that the clips may serve also to detachably secure the binder units to the mounting.
A further object is to provide improved clips,
Y preferably formed of spring wire, with a tongue thereon for insertion through the binder unit perforations for securing the binder component parts together when the binder is removed from the mounting, or to be extended through the mounting perforations or apertures for detachably securing the binder units with their contents to the mounting boards.
The various features of the invention are incorporated in the structure disclosed on the drawing, in which drawing:
Figure l is a plan View of the mounting structure with a number of binder units mounted thereon; Y c Y Figure 2 is an enlarged section on plane II-II of Figure 1;
40 Figure 3 is an enlarged section on plane III- III of Figure-l;
Figure 4 is aplan view of the spring clip;
Figure 5 is a. side view of the spring clip;
Figure 6 is a section on plane VI-VI of Figure 4: y
Figure 7 is an enlarged longitudinal section of a binder unit lshowing how the parts thereof are secured together by the clips; and
Figure `8 is an enlarged section showing the and I2 respectively. The panel has a longitudinal row of perforations or apertures I3 adjacent to its upper margin and a similar row of apertures Ill along its lower margin, the openings in the upper and lower rows being in transverse alignment.
Vends 2| extending a distance beyond the oppo- The binder units shown comprise each substantially similar halves preferably of sheet metal, each half comprising a side strip or wall I5 and a flange or base IG extending at right angles on the lower edge thereof, and the ang- 5 ing may be continuous or provided only along the end portions of the side walls. The side walls are provided with posts Il for receiving the perforations of catalogues, loose leaves or the like when the unit halves are assembled with 10 their anging ends in overlapping engagement.
The flanging near the end of each side wall has perforations I8 and I9 respectively, and when the iiangings of two side walls are overlapped, these apertures at the ends of the unit will be 15 in registration, and the longitudinal distance between the apertures at the ends of the unit is equal to the distance between the aperture rows i3 and lll of the mounting panel It.
As a simple, effective, and eflicient means for 20 detachably securing the halves of a unit in binding relationship, I have provided individual clips C, each of which may be bent up from a single length of spring wire. As shown, the clip comprises an oblong or rectangular body 2B formed from the intermediate portion of a length of wire, the end portion of the wire length forming a tongue 2l extending from one end wall of the body 2G longitudinally of the body and with the site end of the body. Near the end of the body from which the tongue part extends, the body and the tongue part is deiiected downwardly as indicated at 22 to form theinclined endsI 23 which serve as a nger hold to assist in apply- 3- ing or withdrawing the clip. Between the delected portion 22 and the end of the tongue, the tongue is deflected downwardly a distance below the plane of the body part 2l) as indicated at 24, the tongue end 2i normally engaging the 40 under side of the adjacent body end wall 2Q and being inclined downwardly therefrom.
After a number of catalogues, loose leaves or the like, which are to be bound, have been received on the .posts Il of a binder unit, the 4 hanging apertures I8 and i9 at the upper and lower ends of the unit are in registration and clips are inserted in these registering apertures to detachably secure the binder halves together. As shown by dotted lines in Figure '7, the pro- 50 jecting end 2| of the clip tongue is inserted through the registering apertures while the clip is slightly inclined, and then longitudinal pressure is applied to the clip with the result that the end of the tongue beyond the deflection 2t 55 will be spring pressed against the under side ofV the unit and the body 20 will be spring pressed fiat against the inner side of the overlapping flanging of the unit, and the unit halves are thus detachably locked together, as shown by the full 60 lines in Figure 7. To remove the clips, the thumb or finger is applied under the deflected end 23 of the clip body, and a combined upward lift and outward pull on the clip will readily withdraw the clip from the aperture.
As clearly shown by Figures l, 3, and 8, the clips also function to secure the binder units to the mounting panel IG. After loading of a binder unit, it is placed transversely on the panel with its upper and lower registering flange perforations I8 and I9 respectively coinciding with a set of upper and lower apertures I3 and I4 in the panel and then the spring clips are inserted through the registering apertures with the tongues thereof spring pressed against the under side of the panel and the body thereof spring pressed against the binder unit so that the units will be detachably secured to the panel. The panel may be of a length for receiving any desired number of binder units, the panel perforations being properly spaced longitudinally so that there will be plenty of clearance between the units. When additional material is to be added to any of the binders, the binder can be readily removed by withdrawing the spring clips, and the binder can be as readily reapplied to the mounting panel.
Being of comparatively light sheet metal, the panel with the binder unit thereon may be readily carried about from place to place, or the panel may be supported or secured to form the top of a supporting stand or cabinet, and may be secured either in horizontal position or in inclined position, the inclined longitudinal flanges I adapting the panel for such inclined position.
I have shown a practical and eincient embodiment of the features of my invention, but I do not desire to be limited to the exact structure and arrangement shown as changes and modifications are possible which would still come within the scope of the invention.
