Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed. November 15, 1911.

Patented June 4, 1912.

Serial No. 660,462.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CLAUDE S. J. RUssELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Watertown, in the county of Jefferson and tate of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Coin and Bill Carriers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in removed for providing a pocket for contain ing paper money. And a further object is to provide a cheap and serviceable money carrier which is made from a single piece of material, and may be used repeatedly without injuring or wearing out.

The various features and parts of the invention will be understood from the detailed description which follows, and by reference to the accompanying drawing which forms a part of the specification, and in which Figure 1-, is a plan view of a blank from which the carrier is made. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the carrier; showing the detachable coin-holder formed out of a portion of the blank. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the device partially folded; showing the coin-holder in place ready to be closed up for mailing. Fig. 4 is a similar plan view; showing the coin-holder removed, and a piece of paper money inserted in its place. view; showing the device folded up ready for mailing. Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view substantially on line 66 of Fig. 5. Figs. 7 and 8 are perspective views respectively of the body and detachable coin-holder.

Similar characters of reference are ,assigned to corresponding parts throughout the several views.

In the drawing, my improved coin and bill mailer comprises an elongated part, consisting of a central body portion 2, having integral foldable guide-flaps 3', arranged at its opposite sides, and having integral foldable end portions 4 and 5. The mailer or carrier is preferably made out of a single sheet or piece of tough and pliable cardfolded without fracturing.

ect is to provide a mailing Fig. 5 is a board, which is capable of being bent and The device is preferably first stamped or cut out in the form shown in Fig- 1, after which the end portion 4 is perforated, for providing a seriesof circular openings or sockets 6, 6, to

receive coins of different sizes. The neXt step is to stamp or cut out a rectangular section 7, which embraces all of the coin perforations 6, so as to render the coin-holder 7 detachable or removable, for providing a correspondingly shaped recess or cavity 8, into which-a bill or piece of paper money, as 9, may be inserted and carried. The next step in the making up of the carrier is to fold the end portion 4 upon the body 2, and

the next step is to fold the guide-flaps 3 inwardly upon the side edges of the part 4. To hold the parts in place the flaps 3 may be stitched or sewed to the body portion 2,

as shown-at 10 in Figs. 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, or

the guide-flaps 3, as well as, the part 4, may be secured to each other, and also to the body 2, by pasting or gluing in the usual manner. After the device is folded up in the manner last described, the coin-holder 7 may be wholly or partially filled with coins, and then inserted .in the recess or opening 8, after which the integral cover 5 may be folded longitudinally upon the parts 2 and 4, and its free end inserted beneath the free edges of the guide-flaps 3, for closing up the carrier, as shown in Fig. 5, for concealing, as well as, for preventing the coin-holder 7 from becoming displaced or lost.

To send paper money by mail, when it is not convenient or desirable to obtain money orders or to use checks, the coin-holder 7 may be removed from the carrier (see Figs. 7 and 8) and a bill (9) may be folded to suitable size for inserting in the recess or pocket 8 (see Fig. 4). The cover 5 may then be inserted under the guide-flaps, (see Fig.

5) and the paper money or bill will be se-' shown and described my improved mailer is capable of being used repeatedly and notwear out, and by its use either coins or paper money may be safely carried through the mails without danger of detection or loss. 7

It is obvious that the carriers may be made of any suitable material, such as paper, card-board or metal and that some changes or modifications may be made in the device, within the scope defined by the appended claims, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Having thus described my. invention, what I claim is new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A coin and bill mailer, comprising a central body portion having its side edges formed into flaps capable of being folded inwardly upon said body, and having an integral end portion adapted to be folded upon said body and to be held rigidly in place by said flaps, thevcentral part of said end portion cut-away to form a recess or pocket to receive a piece of paper money, the opposite end of said body having an integral cover adapted to be folded upon said body and said end portion, the side edges of said Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents.

"cover detachably engaging portions of said flaps for holding the cover in place.

2. A coin and bill mailer, comprising a main body having an integral end portion adapted to be folded upon said body, said body having flexible flaps arranged on its opposite sides adapted to be folded inwardly upon said end portion, the portions of said flaps adjacent the line of folding pasted to said end flap for permanently connecting said parts, the remaining portions of said flaps constituting free edges, said end portion having an oblong opening forming a recess or pocket to receive a piece of paper money, the opposite end of said body comprising a flexible cover adapted to be folded upon said end portion, the lateral edges of said cover adapted to slidably engage the free edges of said flaps for detachably holding said. cover in place.

In testimony whereof I ,aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
