SCORE BOOK PROTECTOR AND HOLDER Filed Nov. 15, 1955 A Horn e1 Patented July 13, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE SCORE BOOK PROTECTOR AND HOLDER John 0. Redlind, Schofield Barracks, Territory of Hawaii This invention relates to a score book holder and protector, which is mainly designed for holding score books used in target practice but which, i

.of course, can be used for holding other kinds of books. 1 The general object of the invention is to pro vide a metal plate forming a rest for the book and having a rolled portion at one end for receiving 7 the rolled part formed by turning over the leaves,

or some of the leaves, at the upper end of the book and a channel part for receiving the lower end of the book.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the. accompanying drawing wherein like characters denotes like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and l in which:--

Figure 1 is a top plan view of the device. Figure 2 is an edge view thereof showing a book therein in dotted lines.

Figure 3 is a section on the line 3--3 of Figure. 1. 7

As shown in this drawing the device comprises i a plate I having one end rolled upwardly as shown at 2 with the end of the rolled part spaced from this folding of the leaves located in the part 2.

One side edge of the central part of the plate I is extended and this extended portion rolled to provide the pencil holder 4.

As it will be understood individual score keep- 5 ing books are given military men during target practice and the men must keep the books close to them in order to keep the target scores. Usually the books must be placed on the ground so that they become damp or otherwise damaged, 10 but with this device the book being placed therein the device protects the book from the moisture from the ground and holds it in proper shape both when the book is in closed position and when it is in partly open position as shown 15 in Figure 2 in dotted lines.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be 20 made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

What is claimed is:-

A book holder of the class described comprising a rectangular-shaped plate having a roll at one end thereof, the roll portion having its free end disposed in spaced relation to the adjacent surface of the plate whereby upon the placing of the 30 book upon the plate, a portion of the cover and the used portion of the book may be confined within said roll with the free end portion of the used portion of the book disposed between the back portion of the book and the upper surface of the plate, the other end of said plate being bent upwardly defining a channel for the reception of the other end of the book.
