The object of myinvention is to provide device for binding samples, pamphlets, newspapers, &c., togetherina neat and convenient form for handling.

The construction of my invention is eX- plained by reference t0 the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l represents aperspective view, and Fig. 2 a cross-section.

`Like parts are represented by the same reference-letters in both views.

A and Bare clasps, between which the samples or pamphlets are inserted.

C C C are screws upon which the papers are fastened, said screws being pointed and inserted through the samples.

I) D D are hand-nuts by which the clasps A and B are drawn firmly together upon the samples.

The lower ends of screws C are rigidly attached to clasp B, while their upper ends pro 3 5 j ect through holes inclasp A. The edges E E of the clasps A B overlap each other slightly,

and are held in contact by screws F F F. The clasps thus united protect the margin of the samples and form aneat and substantial bind- Be it known that I, CALVIN J AcKsoN, a citiing, by which thesamples are retained in contact and conveniently handled. The screws F lare respectively provided with nuts G G G,

which nuts are rigidly fastened to the interior clasp, B. The upper clasp, A, is provided with slots H H H for the reception of the outward ends of the screws F, whereby said-clasps may be separated from each other to conform to the thickness of the samples secured between them. The front edges, I I, of the clasps converge toward each other, whereby they impinge more iirmly upon the samples. The rear ends of the clasps are curved outward from eachother, as shown, Aforming semicircle recesses J J, which permits the rear edges to overlap each other and the liat parallel sur faces to approach each other, whereby asmall las well as a large number of samples may be screws C and F and nuts D and G, `as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
