Definitions

  • This invention relates to articles of stationery and particularly but not exclusively to postcards and index cards.
  • an article of stationery comprises: a rectangular card which has its two sides prepared in a desired manner and has one edge portion prepared to receive and to have attached permanently thereto an edge portion of a photograph so that the photograph and the card form a unit and so that the area of the card other than the edge portion is available for use as desired.
  • photograph is meant to cover photographic images and similar items as for example printed or lithographed images or matter, and therefore the term “photograph” should not be regarded as strictly limiting.
  • the card can provide a light-weight but strong postcard which may be sent by post in the normal manner, or an index card which may be filed to display conveniently the photograph.
  • the rectangular card may appropriately be substantially half the size of a postcard and may thus be termed a "part-postcard", although it may in itself fall within or outside the regulation size for a' postcard.
  • the edge portion of the card has a layer of adhesive which is capable of forming a permanent bond with the photograph and which is normally covered with a removable protective layer, the protective layer being removed in use so as to expose the adhesive and allow the 5 edge of the photograph to be attached thereto.
  • the adhesive layer may be constituted by double sided adhesive tape attached to the edge portion by one adhesive side, the other adhesive side retaining the protective layer until the card is required for use.
  • the invention provides a combination of a rectangular card and a photograph; the card having its two sides prepared in a desired manner, and either the card or the photograph or both being prepared so that the card and the photograph can be permanently attached 5 .to each other along one edge portion of each to form a unit which may be used as a postcard or as an indexing card.
  • Figure 2 is a side elevation of the card of Figure
  • Figures 3 and 4 show the two sides of a perforated 5 sheet from which a number of cards may be detached.
  • an article of stationery in the form of a card 1 is prepared on both sides in a desired manner and has adjacent one edge a strip of double sided adhesiye tape 2 which is stuck by one G side to the card and is suitable to receive a photograph or similar item 3.
  • the outer side of the adhesive tape 2 is covered with a removable protective layer 4.
  • the protective layer 4 is removed from the adhesive tape 2 and a photograph 3 is attached to the card 1 by pressing the 5 photograph 3 into engagement with the adhesive tape 2.
  • the card and photograph 3 then together form a unitary object which may be transmitted through normal mail services and treated as a normal postcard, or used as an indexing card in a filing system.
  • the structure of the resulting "postcard" 5 is strong and durable and has a single thickness except for the overlapping portion where the part-postcard 1 and the photograph 3 are attached to one another.
  • a layer of adhesive giving a permanent bond may replace the strip of double sided adhesive tape in Figure 2. In that case a protective layer is again applied to the adhesive.
  • the card 1 may be made of cardboard, plasticised card, or similar suitable material.
  • the card may be prepared with areas for displaying advertising matter as • desired.
  • the adhesive tape 2 is suitable for securely and permanently retaining the photograph 3 which may have a plasticised backing.
  • the adhesive tape 2 may be replaced by, for example, a series of spaced areas of adhesive capable of giving a permanent bond with a photograph; each area may have a separate protective layer or a single protective layer may be applied to the entire edge portion to overlie all the adhesive areas.
  • double sided tape or adhesive layer could be fixed to the photograph initially and the part-postcard attached thereto.
  • the cards 1 may be prepared in sheets as shown in Figures 3 and 4, each sheet comprising a number of pairs of cards la and lb separated by lines of perforations 10 enabling individual cards to be removed as required.
  • a strip 11 of double sided adhesive tape having a protective layer similar to that of ⁇ Figures 1 and 2 is applied centrally over the full length of the sheet; the width of the strip 11 is double that required for a single card.
  • the sheet is then perforated, a central line of perforations 10a extending through both the strip and the sheet so that on separation of the cards la and lb along the line 10a each card has its own adhesive strip.
  • the cards la, lb are so printed that the adhesive strip is in each case on the same, right hand side, edge of the card.
  • the sheet includes marginal mounting portions 12 at each side edge, those portions having enlarged perforations 13 and being defined by lengthwise lines of perforations 14.
  • the appropriate terminal portion 12 is discarded, but if a card or sheet is to be filed with an attached photograph or photographs, the marginal portion 12 may be retained, the perforations 13 • .
  • the cards could also be used individually as indexing cards, carrying, for example photographs of items for sale or records of stages of progress of a desired project.
  • the cards will be particularly useful to surveyors for recording properties held, and doctors for recording progress of their patients.
  • the double sided strip 11 of Figure 3 may of course be replaced by a layer of adhesive applied to the sheet and covered by a protective layer.
