Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 19,1907.

Original application filed February 13. 1907. Serial -No. 357.180- Divided and this application filed May 31. 1907- Serial No. 376.640.

To all whom it may-concern:

. Be it known that I, PERRY A. MoOAsKEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Alliance, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Manifoldin Bill Pads or Books; and I do declare the fo lowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to manifolding ads or books and it has reference particular y to manifolding pads'of bill blanks or slips that are designed to be used in credit-accounting systems, the resent inventiomhavlng been .divided out o the application filed February 13, 1907, Serial No. 357,180.

The object of the invention is to provide an improved manifolding pad or book includin improved forms and arrangement of the bi blanks to the end that bills may be made up expeditiouslyin triplicate and that a clean copy of the bill may be furnished to the customer, While at the same time enabling the merchant to use bill blanks with carbon on their backs for transferring purposes, a further object of the invention being to provide a manifolding pad hav ng bill blanks so arranged as to permit of bemg rapidly and attractively printed and assembled for binding purppses.

With the above-mentioned and minor objects in view, the invention consists in a manifolding bill pad constructed and arranged in an improved manner as hereinafter particularly described and referred to in the accompanying claims. I

Referring to the drawings Figure 1 1s a perspective view of one of the improved pads with portions of a set of the blll blanks se arated and turned up at corners thereof; ig. 2, a perspective view of a sheet of bill blanks showing the manner of folding the sheet, the fronts'of the blanks being exposed to view;

a erspective view of the sheet as when bein fo ded, showing the backs of the bill bla Fig. 4, a plan view of the sheet con taining a set ofbill blanks unfolded, the fronts of two blanks andthe back of one blank being exposed to view; and, Fig. 5, is a plan view of the sheet of blanks showing the reverse side thereof, the front of one blank and the carbonized backs of the other two blanks being shown.

Similar reference characters in the various figures of the drawings designate like parts or features of the invention.

A pad or book ma contain any suitable number of sets of bill blanks, there being three blanks comprised in each set. Each set of three blanks, when ready to be bound in the pad or book is comprised of a single sheet of pa er adapted to be folded and bound togetlier as a pad A on a back board B, which preferably has laps C and D at the binding end of the ad, and staples E are preferably emplo ed whereby the stubs F, with which each s eet is provided, are bound together on the back-board. A bill blank G is connected to the stub F of a sheet at the weakened line G, the blank having a suitable printed headin H on one side thereof near the weakened ine, such side being intended to be written upon, and having suitable bill ruling I, including a footing line J on the face thereof, the line J being at or near the foot end of the blank. A bill blank K is connected to the blank G at a weakened line K, and it has a head H, the'ruling I and footing line J on the op osite side of the sheet from that on which tlie heading is printed on the blank G, the back or reverse side of the blank K usually having an advertisement L thereon, this blank. being designed to be given to the customer. A third bill blank M is connected to the blank K at a weakened line M, and it has a head H and ruling I J on the same side of the sheet that the heading and ruling of the blank G is on. The back of the blank G has a coatin of carbon N thereon, and the back of the b ank M has a coating of carbon 0 thereon. The sheet is folded before being bound, on the lines K and M with the front face of the blank M under the carbon N of the blank G, the extremity P of the sheet being brought to the line K, and thus the front face of the blank K will be under and next to the carbon 0 of the blank M, so that the headings of all of the bill blanks will be adjacent to the stub F, and the bill rulings on the blanks therefor will be n register, the bill blanks being all equal in size.

In practical use a suitable stop card will be placed beneath the bill blank K of a set and then the bill may be made up on the top or face side of the blll blank G, thewriting 0 erations producing transfer co ies of the bi on the upper or face sides of t e bill blanks M and K. The bills on the blanks M and K may then be detached at the broken lines K and M, and the clean bill should be given to the customer while the other one may be.

filed for future reference, and the third co y or the original on the bill blank G may be etached from the stub F and used for auditing purposes, or it maybe left in the pad .attached to its stub temporarily and'detached at some suitable time.

i one end portion of 'the sheet with the heading thereof towards the op osite end of the sheet, and the other blank laeing on the opposite end portion of the sheet, the sheet havmg weakened lines above the first-mentioned blank and also aboveand below the second mentioned blank, and .a stub connected to thesecond mentioned blank at the weakened line that is at the top thereof, said sheet having on the reverse side on the middle portion thereof a bill heading and ruling to form a bill blank, and transfer substance on the end portions thereof, the heading bein adjacent to said first mentiOne'd weakened ine.

2. A bill pad comprising sheets of bill blanks, each sheet having a stub at one end thereof, a weakened line at an end of the.

stub, a bill section connected-at one! end thereof to the stub at the weakened line and having a weakened line at the opposite end thereof, the section having on one side thereof a bill heading and ruling and on the other side thereof a coating-of transfer substance, the heading being adjacent to the weakened line of the stub,-a second bill section conneoted 'at one end thereof to the first-men tioned section at the weakened line thereof and having a weakened line at the o posite end thereof, said second bill section aving on the side thereof that is reverse to the side that has the first-mentioned bill heading and ruling also a bill heading and ruling, the heading being adj a'oentto the weakened line that is at said 0 posite end of said second section, and a third bill section connected at one end thereof to said second section at the In testimony whereof, I affix my signature in resence of two witnesses, on the 27th day of ay, 1907. 5
