swung into the open position indicated in Fig.
2, under which condition the papers may be
inserted or removed, after which the binder-
rod 7 is forced in toward the standard and
5 the upper end 8 is pushed through the perfo-
ration 14 of the standard, thence through the
eye 6 of the spring 3, when the nut 15 is again
applied and the binder-rod thereby locked in
position for holding the papers in the file, as
o0 shown in Fig. 2. Any number of papers may
be inserted in the file and the ends of the
binder-rod may be prolonged as much as de-
sired in order to admit a great number of pa-
pers. Since the binder-rod extends along the
15 fold usually formed down the center of width
of the paper, it will hold them firmly in place
on account of the extended surface of the pa-
per with which it comes in contact.
Having thus described my improvements in
20o newspaper-files, what I claim as myinvention,
and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination, with a standard formed
at or near its upper and lower ends, respect-
ively, with a suitable perforation extending
25 through the same from the back to the frontthereof, of springs arranged upon the back
of the standard, one near each end thereof
and each formed at its free end with an eye
registeringwith said respective perforations of
the standard, and a binder-rod disposed upon 3o
the side of the standard opposite that upon
which the springs are located and having its
ends extended or bent inwardly, with the lower
end thereof passing loosely through the per-
foration near the lower end of the standard 35
and connected loosely with the eye of the lower
spring,the upper endof said binder-rod passing
loosely through the perforation near the up-
per end of the standard and also through the
eye of the upper spring and providedat such 40
end with a thumb nut or cap for releasably
securing the end of said rod to the spring,
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set
my hand, this 9th day of January, 1892, in the 45
presence of the two subscribing witnesses.
