HAMILTON SAYERS BANE, OF NEW ULVI, TEXAS.
STATIONERY FILING-CASE.
953,189. Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Mar. 29, 1910.
Application filed September 19, 1908. Serial No. 453,799.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HAMILTON SAYERS
BANE, a citizen of the United States, resid-
ing at New Ulm, in the county of Austin
5 and State of Texas, have invented certain
new and useful Improvements in Stationery
Filing-Cases, of which the following is a
specification.
My invention relates to new and useful
10 improvements in a stationery filing case.
The object of my invention is to provide
a filing case for stationery which will by its
simple arrangement facilitate the handling
of stationery, and is especially adapted for
15 offices and stores.
Finally the object of my invention is to
provide a device of the character described
that will be strong, durable, efficient and
simple in construction, and also one in which
20 the working parts will not be liable to get
out of working order.
With the above and other objects in view,
my invention has particular relation to cer-
tain novel features of construction and oper-
25 ation, an example of which is described in
the following specification and illustrated
in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the filinga
case closed, and showing especially the back
30 of the said case and an arrangement to open
the different sections, and Fig. 2 is a per-
spective view of the filing case with its sec-
tions open showing the different sections
open in different positions in book form.
35 In the drawings in Fig. 1, 1 and 6 are the
outside sections of the filing case. 2, 3 and
4 are the inside sections of said case, al-
though there is no limited number of sec-
tions. The different sections are hinged to-
40 gether with the hinges 5.
In Fig. 2, 1 is the outside section of the
case open, the same having any convenient
stationery holders 8 on the interior thereof.
2, 3, and 4 are the inside sections shown openin book form. 6 is one of the outside sec- 45
tions of the case. 9 is one of the inside sec-
tions showing the outside strip cut away at
a-a to show that the stationery 10 may
be filed on both sides of the section by hav-
ing a panel 7 in the center which will- form 50
the wall for both sides on which the station-
ery 10 may be suspended.
It will be readily understood from the
foregoing description that the invention is
not limited to any particular number or size 55
of the sections, any number of sections re-
quired for the purposes attending the par-
ticular use of the device being provided. A
meritorious feature resides in the fact that
both sides of the intermediate sections and 60
the insides of the back and front sections all
serve alike in holding the stationery.
What I claim, is:
A stationery filing case of the character
described comprising a pair of like hollow 65
rectangular outer cover members provided
with a continuous inwardly directed flange,
a plurality of intermediate members of the
same size as the cover members provided
with a continuous surrounding marginal 70
portion and an intermediate web or parti-
tion constituting receiving spaces on both
sides of each of said members, hinges con-
necting adjoining flanges of all of the sec-
tions whereby they may be closed to consti- 75
tute a book-like structure having flush mar-
gins with the - interior spaces confined
throughout the extent of the device, and
fastening clips for securing the stationery
on the inner surfaces of tTe walls of the 80
device.
In testimony whereof I have signed my
name to this specification in the presence of
two subscribing witnesses.
HAMILTON SAYERS BANE.

Mrs. H. S. BANE,
