MINIATURE BOOK NOVELTY Filed June 10, 1931 ATTORNEYS Patented Dec. 29, 1931 PATEN CE VNATHANIALIM. xrnsrrnnn, or :cos enemas; CALIFORNIA .MI IA'rURn BOOK NOVELTY Application filed June 10,
This invention relates to a miniature metal book which may be of such size as to serve for an ornament and Worn as a trinket, locket or charm. j
Theobjects of this invention are to provide a miniature bookhaving any or all of the fol lowing features: Abo'dy serving as a back and loose metal leaves'which may readily be inserted and removed and suitable for placing sentiments on the leaves or for holding pictures or photographs; a miniature book which has a case serving -to simulate a book cover and a leaf holder arranged to be removed and replaced in the case as a unit. In addition to the broader featureof this invention, there are details of structure contributingto simplicity, ease of assembly and disassembly-and compactness.
These objects together with other objects and corresponding accomplishments are obtained by means of the embodiment of my invention illustrated in the "accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the cover case; Fig. 2 isa section through the assembled miniaturebook as seen on the line'22 of Fig.3; Fig. 3 is a section'as seen on the line 33 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a section through the leafholder on an enlarged scale and as seen on the line 4l4 of Fig; 2; Fig. 5 is aperspec tive view of theholder and a leaf in disassembled positions; and Fig. 6 is a fragmental section through the binder and'back in assembled position.
Referring with more particularityto the drawings,- the cover case is shown as comprising-a roundback 10 providing a cover for reception of the leaf holder. Cover end walls 11 close the cover and are provided with 'alined apertures 12 for receiving a binding rod. Hinged to the back 10 are cover faces.
13. The structure is preferably made of metal and forms a box like case which may be opened and closed and held closed by any su1table clasp, not shown.
A leaf holder comprises a rib 14 having side flaps 14a which are bent toward one another forming a split sleeve. At the ends of rib 1 1 are end walls 15 corresponding in shape to cover end walls 11. The end walls 1931. Serial 1%. 543,253.
have apertures 16 registering with the bore of the sleeve. The holder is arranged to fit snugly in the cover with the apertures in the cover case and bolder registering. The inner faces of'the walls 15 have-parallel grooves 17 1 opening through the edge and at their inner ends having cavities 18' forming sockets. The cover and holder are held in assembled relation by a binding rod 19.
Leaves 20 are preferably made of sheet 7 metal which is resilient and capable ofbeing engraved so that they may be marked with suitable sentiments, names,- or like indicia. They may be made of precious metal or covered with a stratum of precious metal as de sired. At the back of the leaves are outstan d ing triangular nibs 21 adapted to be seated in the sockets 18 and so spaced that .when seated they are pivotally held in position in the holder. Such spacing will require flexure of the end walls 15 for insertion of the nibs in the sockets. In order to insert a leaf, the nibs 21 are positioned in grooves 17 leading to the sockets 18. The end Walls 15 may be flexed away from each other due to the resiliency of the metal of which they are formed permitting insertion of the nibs without bending of the leaves. A leaf after insertion in grooves is then pushed toward thesockets and when the nibs reach the latter they will spring into the sockets. Thus, leaves may be removed or inserted. V
' Obviously, leavesmay be inserted and re moved with the holder in place in the cover or the holder may be removed from the cover as foundconvenient and advisable. No skill is' required in assembly or disassembling. The'book is of miniature size and may be] made of precious metals or platedivith the latter. It then serves as a trinket,charm, or locket, to be Worn as a piece of jewelry. Although the leaves are shown adapted to receive 'engraving, they'may be arranged to serve as frames or backings for insertions.
