TEMPO RARY BINDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 227,715, dated May is, 1880,

I Application filed December 10, 1879.

To all whom tt may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM H. BAILEY, of the city and county of Providence, and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Temporary Binders, and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention has reference to improvements in binders in which letters or other papers can be secured togummed strips; and it consists in a detachable back, flexible inside covers, and index-sheets bound together and temporarily placed within a strong outside cover, to which they are secured and held until the binder is filled, when they can be readily removed and a new set inserted, all of which will be more fully set forth hereinafter.

Figure l is a view of the back and covers ready to receive the inserted binder. The staple by means of which it is secured is shown above the back. Fig. 2 is a view showing the binder ready.to be inserted in the outside covers; and Fig. 3 shows the binder with the index-sheets secured within the flexible inside covers, one of which is removed so as to dis another metal plate, secured at the end of the back opposite to the end on which the plate 0 is secured. The plate d is provided with the lip e, which enters either into the slit 0 in the block of gummed stubs ot' the removable binder G, as shown in Fig. 2, or in front of the projecting end of the block of gummed stubs, as shown in Fig. 3. v

f is the back of the removable binder, consistin g of a number of narrow strips of paper or other suitable material, one side of which is gummed, so that letters or other sheets of paper can .be ,readily secured by simply wetting the gummed side of one. of these strips. These gummed strips are bound together so as to form ablock of gummed stubs, and are provided with a stout sheet to form the covers, and with an alphabetical register. The cut 0 is now made in one end-of the block of gummed stubs; or the portion of the strips f in front of the lip, 0 may be cut away, as in Fig. 3, so that the rear portion will enter beh nd the lip c and the other end pass uncompleted book, with its index and covering sheets, can be removed and stored away, forming a complete book, in which any paper can be readily found if properly indexed. A new binder is now inserted into the outside covers and the process repeated.

Books provided with either the slit 6 or the projection at the back may be inserted in of the binder Gr, consisting of covering-sheets and index-leaves bound together with the block of gummed stubs f and the staple c substantially as and for the purpose described.
