MANIFOLDING SALES-BOOK.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed November 17, 1911. Serial No. 660/79 2.

Patented Nov. 5, 1912.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, ALTEa GRn1c," a citizen of the United States, residing at Nlagara Falls, in the county of Niagara and State 'of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Manifolding Sales ing sales book of the above character in Books, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptiomsuch as will enable others'skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

. This invention relates to manifolding sales books.

One of the objects of thg present invention is to provide a simple and practical sales book. I

Another object is to provide a manifolding sales book of the above character which will be easy to manipulate and inexpensive to manufacture. t

A further object is to provide a manifoldwhich the entire transaction will be'completely duplicated at all times.

Other objects will be in part obvious and in part pointed out hereinafter.

The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combinations ofelements and arrangements of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth, and-the sec of the application of which will be indicated in the following claims.

The accompanying drawin longitudinal sectional view of one of the various possible embodiments of this invention. 1

Similar reference characters referto similar parts throughout the different views of the drawing. j

Referring to this drawing in detail, a cover com risin a front and back 1 and 2. respective y, inc oses the sales book, and is preferably made in one piece bound with the leaves of thepad by means of staples 3.

The pad inclosed within the cover is comosed of a plurality of sets of original and uplicate leaves 4 and 5, respectively, ar ranged in continuous fold or zigzag form. The leaves are perforated along both ends 6 as well as the bound side 7 as indicatedby" the dotted lines which permit the leaves to.

be separated from each other and from ,th'

pad. The leaves are also ruled and spiced- .shows in Figural a perspective view an In Fig. 2 a

in any desired manner, according to the particular use to which the book is to be put.

Interposed between the back 2 of the cover and the bottom leaf of the pad and preferthick cardboard 8 which provides a stifiening member to preventthe booli'from becomin bent-and worn. This member also provi es a means of attachment for a carbon sheet 9 the end of which is pasted along the upper end edge 10 thereof. This carbon sheet is folded upwardly over one end of the pad, and then inserted between the leaves of the top set of original and duplicate leaves. By positioning and attaching the carbon sheet in this manner instead'of bindably bound therewith is a sheet of relatively ing it with the leaves and cover at the side of the pad, or ifthe pad is bound at-th'e end to the binding thereof, it is thereby positively prevented from gradually creeping away from the side or bottom edge, as the case may be, as the pad becomes more and more reduced in thickness, It will be readily seen for example that if the carbon sheet is bound to the sideedge of the pad by means of a staple 3, when the lower sets of leaves are being used, the outer side or free edge of the carbon sheet will be drawn in,

due to the drop from the top of the binding ing drawing, the transaction is recorded on original leaf 4 and the data transcribed through the carbon sheet.9 to the duplicate leaf 5. The original leaf 4, is by the previous transaction oron inserting the carbon sheet, torn down the side line 7 By grasping the top of this leaf 4 and pulling it up- Wardly and rarivardly the duplicate leaf 5 I is toriililon'githa dptted side line 7 thus auto'maticall "removing the carbon shoot 9 and than moving the. leaf forwardl the ne t original leaf 4 is torn down the si e line. The set" of original andflduplicate leaves are then severed and separated from each other along the bottom perforated lines (3, the carbon sheet laid over the next duplicatc leaf, and the new original leaf turned back into operative position as shown. The book is then ready for the second operation. As these operations are repeated, the pad 'will become thinner or more reduced in thickness and-the carbon sheet will accordingly become relatively longer so as 'to fully and completely cover the duplicate leaf at all times instead of .becoming relatively shorter under circumstances above explained.

It is thus seen that this invention provides a practicahdurable, and inexpensive manifolding sales book, possessing and accomplishing, among others, all of the objects and advantages above set forth. 7 As many changes could be made in the above construction and many apparently widely tion could be made without departing from the scope thereof, itis intended that all matter containedin the above description or shown in the accompanying drawing shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Having described my invention, What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A sales book combining a pad formed by a continuously folded sheet of original and duplicate leaves, and a carbon sheet having one end secured beneath the under side of said pad and adapted to be folded upwardly over an edge to lie between an original leaf and a duplicate leaf whereby a creeping of the carbon sheet to uncover a portion of a duplicate leaf as the pad becomes reduced in thickness is positively prevented.

2. A sales book combining a pad comprising a continuously folded sheet forming a plurality of sets of original and duplicate different embodiments of this invenleaves bound together along one side edge, a stiffening member connected with said pad and positioned therebeneath, and a carbon sheet attached to said member and folded upwardly over another edge and adapted to lie between the leaves of the top set of original and duplicate'leaves whereby a creepber and folded upwardly over the end edge of said pad and adapted to lie between the leaves of the top set of original and duplicate leaves whereby a creeping of the carbon sheet to uncover a portion of a duplicate leaf as the pad becomes reduced in thickness is positively prevented.

4. A sales book combining a pad comprising a. plurality of sets of original and duplicate leaves arranged in zigzag form bound together along. a side edge, a stiifening memberbound with said leaves and positioned beneath the pad, :1. carbon sheet attached at one end to said member and folded upwardly over the end edge of said pad and adapted to lie between-the leaves of the top set of original and duplicate leaves whereby a creeping of the carbon sheet to uncover a portion of a duplicate leaf as the pad becomes reduced in thickness is positively pre vented, and a cover for said book inclosing said parts bound together with the leaves of said pad.

In testimony whereof I-afii x my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
