Aug. 24, 1948. BIAGI 2,447,996
MONEY GLI P Filed March 25, 1946 INVENTOR. L eon Jiiz'a'gz ATTORNEYS.
Patented Aug. 24, 1948 -Leon J. Biagi, Rumford, 3.1,, asslgnor to Swank,
1 Inc., acorporation pt Delaware Application'liiarch25,1946,SerialNmfidfiJbS 3 Claims. (01. 24-81) This invention relates to a money clip, more particularly for paper money or bills.
It has been the practice heretofore to provide some sort of a resilient clip to hold a plurality of bills or paper money together as a single unit. Such clip provides but one pocket and no means of separating bills of different denominations can therefore be made.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide a money clip which will have a plurality of pockets so that bills or paper money may be held in difierent divisions, such for instance, as different denominational divisions or divisions as to value of the money.
Another object of this invention is to provide a money clip which may be of relatively simple construction and one which may be manufactured inexpensively.
Another object of this invention is to provide a money clip which will be compact and one which will be light in weight.
Another object of this invention is to provide a money clip which will have the appearance of being made from wire of such construction that the same may be of ornamental appearance.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the money clip looking at one side thereof;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the money clip looking at the other side thereof;
Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing the side of the money clip up as shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is a top plan view of a sheet of stock blanked out in the form from which th money clip is bent.
In proceeding with this invention, I provide a center jaw of the clip with which other jaws cooperate, one jaw being cooperable with one side of the center jaw and another jaw being cooperable with the other side of the center jaw, by which arrangement two separate pockets are provided for the retention of bills or paper money in separated relation.
With reference to the drawings, particularly Fig. 4, I have illustrated a blank designated generally III which consists of a center portion designated generally I comprising two strips of stock l2 and i3 in spaced relation, these strips being joined at their end as at [4 while at their opposite end they are bent outwardly in a right angular relation as at l5 and i6 and then again bent to provide portions i1 and [8 extending substantially parallel with the center portion H. These arms l1 anad 18 are joined by a bridge portion I9 at their ends so that in effect I provide a single piece of stock which may be either bent up from wire with the ends abutted and soldered at any point along the length or the stock may be cut out from a, solid sheet with no seam.
This blank as shown in Fig. 4 is bent substantially midway between its ends so as to provide a center or common jaw designated 20 (Fig. 3) and a resilient jaw 2| on one side of the center jaw, and a resilient jaw 23 on the other side.
I provide the jaw 2| by folding the bars I! and 18 as at 22 in one direction while a jaw 23 is provided on the other side of the center or common jaw 20 by a bending of the bars I! and I3 as at 24 in the opposite direction. The end of the jaw 2| is flared outwardly as at 28 and the end of the jaw 23 is flared outwardly as at 29 for the easier sliding of the bills or paper money into position, an entrance mouth being provided thereby. Thus, by two bendings at substantially the center line of the blank 10 shown in Fig. 4, one in one direction and the other in the other direction, I provide two pockets, one for the reception of paper bills or money 25 on one side of the center jaw and the other providing a pocket for the reception of other paper bills or money 26 on the other side of the center law, these bills being kept separate from each other by reason of this relationship.
In order to connect the bars I! and I8, plate 21 may be secured across these bars as shown by the dotted line in Fig. 4 or in the full line in Figs. 1, 2 and 3.
By this arrangement a very simple form of clip is provided which will function for the separation of different denominations of money as desired.
I claim:
1. A money clip comprising a common jaw having tour laterally spaced longitudinally extending wire members, a resilient jaw on one side thereof comprising two of said wire members folded upon themselves at one end of the common law, and a resilient jaw on the other side thereof comprising the other two wire members folded in the other direction upon themselves, at the same end of the common jaw, both of said jaws extending substantially the full length of said common jaw and providing entrance mouths racing in the same direction.
2. A money clip as in claim 1 wherein the outside thereofcomprisingthe outsidetwowlremembers folded in the other direction upon them-- selves, at the same end of the common jaw, both of said jaws extending substantially the full length of said common jaw and providing-en trance mouths facing in the same direction, and a bar secured to and bridgingthespace-between of the middle two members. i LEON REFERENCES CITED The" following references are of record in the file or'this'patent: Y
