UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HOLDER FOR COINS ANDv ARTICLES.
David V. Stroop, Glenbrook, Conn.
Application June 6, 1946, Serial. No. 674,841
1 Claim.
invention. relates to. holding devices. for coins an t r ar ar icles,
To. the numismatist and to the philatelist it is amatter of consequence that coins, stamps, and the like be separately retained, convenient for viewing. In the case of certain articles of numisinatic valueit isparticularly desirable that these articles lac-handled infreuuently,preferably never, Previous holding devices have failed to meet or haveen y partially met these r q ir m nt Itis, accordingly, an. object, of my invention to provide-an mproved means for re aini g coins. stamps, and similar articles of value.
Anoth r b ec s to provide a, r iner whi w l permit the fi ctiv h din o m l a t in full view for obverse and reverse inspection, and n ch a the same t w l ot expose thes articles to handling- A further object is to provide a holder of the character indicated having improved means for inserting and for removing small articles.
Other objects and various further features of novelty and invention will be specifically pointed out or will become apparent to those skilled in the art from a reading of the following specification inconjunction with the'drawings, in which:
Fig. l is perspective view of a retainer according' to the invention;
Big, 2 is a partially broken-away plan view of a modified retainer; and
Fig. 3 is a partially broken-away plan view of an alternative arrangement.
' Broadly speaking, my invention contemplates the use of a framing device having window openings, and coins, stamps. or; other small articles are held in these windows by means of and betweentwo layers of transparent material formed as. by, a fQld of a single piece of the material. In the formsto be specifically described, the frame bordering .each window opening is open along preferably one side to permit the ready insertion and removal of. these articles into. and from the Window space.
Referringto the embodimentillustrated inFig. 1, one form of my improved retainer comprises a frame 5 having a plurality of coin-receiving window openings 6, 1, and 8. Frame 5 may be formed from two frame members 9, ill punched with openings which, when in register, define the window openings 6, I, and 8. Cardboard, or other similar stiffi pliable material, may be employed for the frame members 9, Iii, and these members may be secured as by adhesive tape ll along opposite outer edges of the frame 5 for a purpose which will later be clear, Additional securin means which may include staples 12 are driven through the frame members 9 and It] at points intermediate the window openings 6, 1, and 8 and near the outer frame edge not covered by the tape it. Further staples l3, between and at the bottom of the windows may serve a purpose which will later be clear.
I t.w,ill be clear that with the structure described I have provided a device having in effect a plurality of slots along the untaped edge of frame 5 (near the window openings) and that each of thesev slots is somewhat wider than the window openin which it accommodates. According to a feature of the invention, a simple holder of transparent material is receivable in any of these slots. In the form shown, this transparent holder comprises a single piece [4 of preferably pliable transparent material, such as cellophane, folded in half along the edge 15 to form an envelopeor sandwich having two layers l6 and H.
In practice a coin or other small article I8 is first placed between layers l6 and I1, and the folded edge L5 inserted into the slot accommodating one of the window openings 6. The trans.- parent holder I l, being wider than the window opening 6, finds lateral support in the grooves alongside opening 6 as it is drawn further into the window opening 6. The stifily pliable nature of. frame members 9 and Ill permits the entrance slot to, bulge slightly as the coin I8 enters and as it passes through the slot; but once the coin is held within the window opening 6, it will be clear that this property of the frame members tends to resist outward displacement or loss of the coin through the slot, In the case of the window opening 1, a coin I9 is shown in its fully received and retained position, and in the case of window opening 8, a stamp 2;! is similarly shown. The staples l3 will be, seen to provide stops against which. the coin holders may abut.
Itv will be clear that the described device, including its unique manner of, supporting small articles of value, permits close d'etailed inspection of both obverse and reverse sides. If necessary, the articles mayv be easily removed separately; and, no matter how frequently inspected; they may be fully protected against soiling due to frequent handling.
op nings 28, 29, 3D. .ploved to secure both frame members 9 and ID 28; 29, 30. :form the unused, portion of the retainer of Fig. 3, staples 32 are driven into the frame memtur of the retainer of Fig. 1, the two frame members 9 and 10, and sta les l2 and I3 will be recognized. However. instead of utilizing tape to bind outer edges of the frame members together, a layer of paper 2| or other similar materi l covers t e too face of the retainer and is fold d over opposit sides thereof as at 22 and 23 to perform the f nction of the tape. In the form shown, the frame members 9 and III are held to et er at the lower longitudinal side of the retainer by means of ribbons of paper 24 wra ed throu h a window opening, over. and around the lower edge of the retainer and back to the window o ening, whereby the frame members 9 and ID are securely held together both along the lower edge 25 of the retainer and along the lower window opening edges 26 as will be clear.
It will be appreciated that the device thus far'described for Fig. 2 provides essentially the .same features as that of Fig. 1. except that grooves are not available to receive the transpar nt coin holders l4 along the lower edge 26 of the window openings. Thus, the lower edge 26 s rves as a, stop against which the coin holders M abut when coins or other articles of value are inserted.
- According to an alternative arrangement illustrated in Fig. 3, the transparent holder means is not removable from the frame member constituting the main body of the retainer: rather. a singlefolded piece of preferably pliable transparent material 21 extends longitudinally of the retainer to span at one time a plurality of window Staples 3| may be emand the transparent hold r material together;
at the same time, staples 3| serve to define the slots or pockets through which coins may be introduced into the various window openings. As
in the case of the other forms which have been described, staples 3| are preferably driven at points spaced from side edges of the openings To secure the lower, and in this bers 9 and Ill near the lower corners thereof.
To permit the ready introduction of a coin 33 or other article of value into a window opening '28, the single piece of transparent material 21 is preferably folded along a line slightly displaced from its midsection. In this way, it will be clear that the outer edges 34-35 of the two coin-holding layers thereby formed will extend different distances. Preferably both of these edges are so formed as to extend slightly beyond the upper orcoin-receiving edge of the retainer. It will beclear that the described arrangement of edges 34 and 35 of the transparent holding means per- .mits ready location of the coin-receiving slots for any of the window openings 28, 29, and 30.
In the forms described, I have shown coin or stamp retainers having essentially the same outer dimensions but different arrangements of viewa ing and retaining windows. This consistency in outer dimensions is preferred in some applications in which it may b desirable to file great numbers of retainers and in which these retainers are to be subjected to different uses-for example, in the display of related groups of coins or of unusually shaped articles. In any case, it will be understood that my invention is not limited to the specific configurations shown.
It is clear that I have provided an extremely simpl means for the holding, storage, and protection of articles of numismatic and philatelic value. All the arrangements shown permit of ready obverse and reverse inspection, and the structures lend themselves to easy fabrication in quantities.
Although I have described my invention with particular reference to the forms shown, it will b understood that modifications may be made within the scope of the claims which follow.
I claim:
In a holder of the character indicated, a frame comprising two side sheets of stifily pliable material in face to face relationship and having registering window openings therein, said sheets being secured together, adjacent edges of said side sheets at one sid of said window openings being free of each other at the marginal edges of said side sheets to permit springing apart when an article to be housed is forced between the said marginal edges and into said window openings, and transparent sheet material covering each of said window openings at the inner side thereof to confine an article therein, the free edge of the transparent sheet material covering at least one of said openings being extended beyond the adjacent marginal edge of at least one of said side sheets to facilitate the insertion of an article between said transparent sheets and said side sheets, said two side sheets being spaced apart adjacent said window openings by the double thickness of said transparent sheet material only, an article housed as aforesaid being held against falling out between said marginal edges by those edges of the side sheets defining that side of a window opening adjacent said marginal edges, when said side sheets spring together after passage of an article between them and into a window.
