Bevit known that I,-D-ANIEL G. Born, a residing "at Wills Point, in theWcounty of Van Zandt and State of Texas, have invented "certain new and useful, Improvements in Paper- Files, of which the following is a specification. 1

My invention relates't'o'a' new and useful paper file, and relates more particularly to that class of paper files which are formed of a wire provided with a pointed extremity,

be impaled;

upon which the papers may It is the object of my invention to provide a paper file so constructed that any one of a collection of papers held by the file maybe removed without necessitatingthe removal of any other of the papers from the file.

Another object of the invention is to provide a paper file of the character described, the sharp point of which will be normally so guarded as to eliminate any possibility of accidental damage or injury being done by said point.

A still further object of the invention is file that may be mounted upon a wall or the side of a desk and adapted to swing about a vertical axis passing through its points of attachment to such sup port, thus adapting it when swung adjacent to the supporting surface out of the way. j I

Finally the object of my invention is to provide a device of the character described, that will be strong, durable, simple andefli cient and comparatively easy to construct.

With these view, my invention has relation to certain novel features of the construction and use, an example of which is described in the following specification, and is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein: Figure l is a perspective view showing my paper file with its parts occupying their normal relation to each other. I perspective view showing the paper file ad'- j usted in the position which it occupies when or removed view of the said extremities. Fig. at is a detail sectional view, the section being taken upon the line w-w of Fig. 1.

,In the drawing, like reference characters are employed to designate similar parts in all the figures. v My p. per file is formed of a single piece of-stifi' resilient wire bentgto produceportions which are respectively designated the numerals 1, 2,3,4 and-5.

The portion 1 is verticallyfdisposed and pivotally mounted uponia suitablevertical' surface by means of a pair ofbrackets 5 Thesebrackets are formed of a single piece o fmateriahasuitably drilled for-the recepparallel slits, the. divided portions being expanded in alternatelyopposite directions to formjournals for the file wire. The portions 2 and 3 respectively extend integrally from the upper andlower extremities of the portion 1, their directions being convergent. It is preferred to incline the member 3 upat a somewhat more oblique angle than that at which the member 2 is inclined downwardly, the purpose I ment beingto cause the files to hang with their lower edges, forming an incline so as to facilitate inspection of desired. Ata distance from the member 1, the portions 2 and 3 are respectively turned downwardly and upwardly as indicated by the numerals 4; and 5 the portion 4 having formed inits extremity a conical socket 6 adapted to receive the conically pointed extremity of the member'5.

so sprung'that when the parts 4jand 5 are of this arrangesaid files when t1onof screw or other fastening means, and 1 are divided, fora portion of their length, by

not held in alinement through the engagement of their extremities,

said parts tend'to assume a slightly spaced relation as is shown in Fig. 2, the extremity beingat a somewhat lower level than the extremity of the part 5. I

of the" part 4 then Obviously when thepaper file is adjusted i in the position illustrated in Fig. 2, papers maybe very readily impaled upon the point 7, and slipped down upon the member 3, which has a sulficient length to hold quite a large number of papers.

When the device is not being handled, the

inter-fitting extremities of the parts 4 andg5 are maintained inengagement as illustrated in Fig. 1, the maintenance of this engagement serving notonly-to retain the papers securely upon the portion 3 .of the file, but

further serving to prevent the sharp oint 7 from accomplishing damage.

l/Vhen it is desired to remove any certain paper Without disturbing the relation of the other papers upon the file, those papers which lie in front of the desired paper are cent to the vertical surface which forms a support for the file. p

The invention is presented as includingall such modifications and changes as properly any accidental in ury or The fileis then adjusted to the po-" 2 and the desired come within the scope of the following claim; p

What I claim is:

In a file of the character described, the combination with suitable journaling means, of the file formed of a single piece of wire, comprising a base portion adapted to be journaled in said .journaling means, a file holding portion angularly disposed with regardto said base portion, an angularly disposed pointed end on said file holding portion, an upper portion, and an angularly disposed socketed portion carried by said upper portion.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to :this specification in the vpresence of two subscribing witnesses.
