"Filed July 21, 1932 Ijnuenfor ARL awso Patented July 11, 1933 UNITED STATES "rice PATEN MANIFOLDING SALES BOOK Application filed zrul ai, 1932. Serial No. 623,775.

This invention includes subject matter divided out of my co-pending application.

filed October 6th, 1930 under Serial No.

486,533 and has for its object the provision of 5 a manifolding sales book of simple, easily handled construction in which at least one carbon leaf isprovided for each original record leaf and in which a record of each original istransferred to the back of a carbonleaf which normally will be retained in the book for reference.

I attain my object by means of a construction which may be briefly described as follows: A triplicate record leaf and an original record leaf are formed by folding a sheet of paper so that the original leaf overlies the triplicate which is formed with a projecting stub. series of these record units are bound in superimposed form to a suitable cover by means of the stubs. Also, separately bound to the cover in superimposed form are a series of carbon leaves which are carbonized on the under surface only and are in number p one more than the number of original record leaves in the book.

so positioned that pairs of them may be readily positioned between the uppermost original and the triplicate to which it is'attached, so that a record made on the'original 9 is transferred by the underlying carbon'leaf to the back of the lowermost carbon leaf to form a duplicate record and by the lowermost carbon leaf to the triplicate record leaf. The

- r pad of record leaves is so supported that used carbon leaves may be turned in under it to remain 1n the book as a permanent reference.

The invention is hereina-fter more specifically described and is illustrated in the ac-- companying drawing in which Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a book constructed in accordance with my invention ready for use in making the first entry; I

Fig. 2 a perspective view of the cover; and Fig. 3 a perspective view showing the 45 method of disposing of used carbon-record leaves.

In the drawing like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures.

r Y Referrmg to the drawing, 1 1s a back These carbon leaves are formed of ordinary cover stock. To one end of this back is connected, preferably integrally, aflap 2 and to its'other end a cover leaf 3.

To the free end ofthe flap 2 is secured, preferably by stapling, a pad of superimposed record units. Each unit comprises a stub 1 bound to the flap, a triplicate record leaf 5 integral with the stub and an original record leaf integral with the triplicate and folded thereover. V

These record leaves are of what is known in the trade as clean leaves, that is their backs are not carbonized and they therefore do not serve as transfer leaves. V 65 To the back 1 is also secured a pad of carbon leaves 7 in such a position that they may be turned in successively to a position between original and triplicate record sheets.

Preferably the pad of carbon, leaves is secured by stapling to the, back close to the stubs 4 and so that they Willithrow in over said stubs into co-operative relationship with the record sheet-s. 7

Each carbon leaf is carbonied onone side only so that a record may be transferred to its back by an overlying carbon leaf, while it in turn transfers to an underlyingleaf.

The full advantage of my invention is obtained by employing one more carbon leaf than the number of original record leaves.

V The mode of operation is as follows:

' The cover leaf 3 and the carbon leaves 7 are thrown back as shown in Fig. 1. The first original record leaf is raised and the uppermost two carbon leaves turned in under it.

The desired entry is then made on the original and transferred by the upper carbon leaf to the back of the under carbon leaf and by the latter to the underlying triplicate leaf. 'The original and triplicate are then torn out and the pad of record leaves swung up, following which the carbon leaf bearing the record on its back is dropped beneath the flap carrying the pad The second original in the pad of record sheets is then lifted and the carbon leaf. which previously was used to effect the transfer of the record to the carbon leaf which has been turned under til ' that I have devised a manifolding book which n. all

the pad, is then dropped on top of the second triplicate record leaf and another transfer leaf is brought forward and dropped on top of the first. The second original record leaf is then dropped on top of the carbon leaves, when the book is ready for the record- :erves to receive a transferred record on its j ack and to transfer a record to the underlying triplicate record leaf.

The process is kept up until all the record leaves have been used.. It will then be. fe-und that all thecarbon leaves, save the last, bear a record and have been turned under lhe iap 2 now carryingonly the stubs of the triplicate record leaves. :To fa'ciiitalfetlie operation of the triplicate record sheets from the stubs theusual lines of weakness S "will be employed. Lines of weakness 9 Will also be employed to facilitate the separation of the triplicates and originals.

From the above description it will be seen will provide an original and two transfer records of every transaction and hat 'vrith only the addition of one carbon sheet to the numberrequired for a duplicate book eniploying a carbon sheet in each manifohii unit. I The originals and triplicates will, of course, be numbered serially and the carbon at s similarly numbered, with the exceg ti most When the book is closed. 7

The carbon leaves may be provided with uncarbonized end margins 10 to facilitate clean handling. 7
