Abstract

A check locator for a peg-board type bookkeeping system which includes a baseboard, a row of upstanding pegs adjacent but spaced from and parallel to one edge of the baseboard, and a horizontally lined, vertically columnized journal sheet on the baseboard, such sheet having a row of perforations through which the row of pegs projects in sheet-positioning relation; the check locator comprising a slide embracing and manually movable along such edge of the baseboard, and a check-positioning member mounted in connection with the slide and overhanging the journal sheet so that--by slide motion--a check can be disposed in a selected position with a line thereof registering with a predetermined line of the journal sheet; the check being carbonized on the back whereby data written on said line of the check is carbon-copied onto such line of the journal sheet.

Claims6

Dependent claims

A device--for locating a check in superposed, selectively positionally disposed relation to a lined, normally stationary bookkeeping sheet of a bookkeeping system which embodies a baseboard, and means for holding a bookkeeping sheet normally stationary on said baseboard--including a slide embracing and movable along one edge of the baseboard, a check-positioning member, means on said member for supporting checks with major portions of said checks overlying the bookkeeping sheet, and means mounting the check-positioning member in connection with the slide and projecting over the bookkeeping sheet so that by slide motion said check-positioning member can be disposed to position a check, of data-transfer type, with a predetermined line thereof in register with a selected line of the bookkeeping sheet;

characterized by said mounting means including a plate, a hinge between said slide and said plate which permits of arcuate swinging of the check-positioning member upwardly from the bookkeeping sheet, said plate extending inwardly from the slide to normally overlie said baseboard, and a base tongue and slot connection inwardly of and separate from the hinge between said plate and said check positioning member which permits of independent, vertical floating motion of said check-positioning member substantially parallel to said baseboard.
