Patented Oct. 18, 1932 PATENT OFFEOE ROBERT S. YOUNG, OF NEW BRIGHTON, NEW YORK SLIP HOLDING DEVICE Application filed March 28,

This invention relates to slip-holding devices such as are shown and described in my copending application for patent filed the 20th day of January, 1930, and bearing the Serial No. 422,210, now'matured into Patent Additional to the objects mentioned in said copending application one important object of the present invention is to provide a novel general construction of such slip-holding devices.

A second important object of the invention is to provide a novel form of base for properly positioning the slips for convenience in handling.

A third important object of the invention is to provide novel means for holding the slips adjacent their ends so that the slips will slide easily from engagement with the holding means at one end and will not accidentally slide from engagement with the other holding means.

A fourth important object of the invention is to provide a novel arrangement for retaining slips in turned position after the operator has turned them back upon completion of his work on the slips.

WVith the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in general of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically claimed.-

In the accompanying drawing like characters of reference indicate the parts in the several views, and

Figure 1 is a top plan View of the device. Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the device.

Figure 3 is a bottom plan View of the invention.

Figure 4 is a detail section on the line 4-4: of Figure 2.

The body of the device is preferably cast or molded of suitable material such as aluminum, bakelite or the like and comprises a base of elongated form of suitable dimensions to support the size and character of slip used, it being readily understood that a device of this kind will have a different size 1930. Serial No. 439,831.

and proportion of base if it is to be used for stock slips from the side and proportions used for bank checks or slips for other purposes, such as weight slips, time slips and the like. Side flanges 11 depend from this base so as to provide a suitable fiat support for the base and other side flanges 12 project upwardly from the base and increase in length from front to rear where they merge into comparatively high side walls 13 which have their rear ends connected by a back wall 14. Lugs 15 are formed beneath the forward portion of the base 10 and serve for attachment of a long leaf spring 16 by which the device may be clipped to a table or shaft.

Bearings 17 and 17 are formed on the under side of the base 10 at each side of its longitudinal center and these bearings extend from points close to one side of wall 11 transversely of the base and terminate in spaced relation to the remaining wall 11. Extending through. the base from points adjacent the bearings and running along the side wall adj acent said bearings are slots 18 and 18. Shafts 19 and 19 are j ournalled in these bearings and are provided with arms 20 and 20 extending through the slots toward adjacent ends respective of the body. These arms carry at their free ends transverse extensions 21 and 21, of which 21 has its extremity bent down as at 22, a suitable opening 23 being provided in the base to accominodate this bent down portion when the device is empty. At the other ends of the shafts are respective rock arms or cranks 24: S

and 24: and it is to be especially noted that the crank to the rear of the deviceis of greater crank length than that on the front shaft. A spring 25 connects these cranks and the arrangement of the cranks, with one longer than the other, is such that the rear cross piece 21 is urged towards the base with greater force than the front cross pieces 21 and 21. Moreover there is fitted on the rear cross piece a friction element here shown as a section of rubber tubing 26.

A yoke 27 has its arm straddling the rear end of the body and turned in to fit in opening 28 so that the yoke may be positioned in the operative position shown in full lines in Figure 2 or may be folded into dotted line position for storage.

In using the device, assuming the operator to be right handed, the holder is clipped by x the spring 16 to a table or the like with the front end to the right. The cross pieces 21 and 21' are then raised and a package P of the slips to be inspected and recorded is placed beneath these cross pieces with the J butts of the strips in the-pocket formed by the walls 13 and 14:, and the cross pieces released. The rubber sleeve grips the buttportions of the slips so that they will not accidentally slip out during manipulation. At the other cross piece or grip 21 the ends of the strips are held lightly so that, by placing the'left hand with the fingers extending over the raised central portion of the pack, the left thumb may be used to turn the strips back one by one, the fingers being used to hold the turned strips until several have been accumulated, whereupon they may be tucked through the yoke and will be there held.

There has thus been provided a simple and eflicient device of the kind described and for the purpose specified.

It is obvious that minor changes may be made in the form and construction of the invention without departing from the material principles thereof. It is not, therefore, desired to confine the invention to the exact form herein shown and described, but it is desired to include all such as come within the scope of the following claims.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is

1. A slip holder including an elongated base bowed upwardly from end to end and provided at one end with an upstanding wall, spring actuated clips at respective ends of said base, one of said clips being urged'toward the base with greater force than the'second clip, and means on the first clip resisting slipping of paper slips from beneath said first clip.

2. A slip holder including an elongated base, shafts journalled below said base and having rock arms at corresponding ends, the rock arm on the first shaft having greater radial length than the second rock arm, an arm projecting from the first shaft at one side of the base and extending toward one end of the base, a clipping end projecting from said arm transverse the base, a second arm projecting from the second shaft towards the other end of the base, a clipping end projecting from the second arm across the base, and a tension spring connecting the end ofthe rock arms.

3. A slip holder including an elongated base bowed upwardly from end to end, upstanding end and side walls at one end of said base forming a slip end receiving pocket, spring actuated clips at respective ends of said base, one of said clips being urged toward the base with greater force than the second clip, and a slip receiving loop at one end of said base.
