Typewriter copy holder

Claim 1

A holding device for firmly holding flexible, yieldable information carriers such as paper; soft and solid backed yieldable information carriers such as books, magazines and tablets in a correct straight forward readable position, eliminating light glare, comprising: a first, upright, outer, taller, metal frame of generally U-shaped configuration having a topmost connecting portion and a downwardly projecting leg extending from each opposite end of said connecting portion, each said legs being provided with identical inward and then outward bends adjacent said connecting portion, said legs then extending generally parallel to each other downwardly to their free ends, said connecting portion being provided with a short oblong metal surface fastened to the connecting portion at the center thereof, a second, upright, metal frame of generally U-shaped configuration, said second frame being shorter and narrower than said first metal frame so as to fit within said first frame, the legs of said second frame adjacent the connecting portion thereof being provided with an outward bend corresponding to said outward bend of the legs of said first frame, the portion of said second frame adjacent its upmost connecting portion being provided with a rearwardly protruding bend so that said second frame connecting portion lies in a plane rearwardly of the plane of said first metal frame, while the legs of the second frame beyond the said outward bend are parallel to and generally in the plane of the first frame legs, the free ends of the legs of both said first and second frames being provided with a substantially right angle bend out of the plane of the first frame so as to enable the free ends to rest on a support surface and maintain the remainder of said frame in substantially upright position, and wherein said holding device becomes operational by combining the above mentioned elements, the second said shorter metal frame is set inside first said taller metal frame; by fastening two metal rods across the backs of said frames, leaving a narrow width between said frames, both said frames thus become a common frame allowing the first said frame to remain rigid; the identical inward and outward angle bends on two opposite sides near the top of first said frame serves as stable backing for different sizes and types of yieldable information carriers, the second said frame is allowed to be moved freely back and forth serving as a movable holder and pressure retaining device for the soft and solid backed yieldable information carriers when backings of said carriers are slid between first and second said frames; the one piece plastic magnet holder with handle, a magnetic tape surface fastened to holder serves as a securing device for clamping the flexible, yieldable information carriers in a freely supported reading position when fastened to said short oblong metal surface, the bent free ends of the legs of said first and second frames serve for firm stabilization and proper reading angle alignment of said holding device, eliminating light glare on yieldable information carriers when said holding device is placed under most business machines from the rear.
