UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
OSCAR OEHRING, OF EISLEBEN, GERMANY.
MANUFACTURE OF POSTAGE-STAMPS IN STRIPS.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, OSCAR OEHRING, en-
gineer. residing at Markt 23, Eisleben, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Manufacture of Postage-Stamps in Strips, of which the following is a specification. This invention relates to postage and other stamps for use in vending machines, and has for its object to furnish stamps in continuous strips and wound in rolls for use with such machines, such rolls being free from the several disadvantages attending stamp rolls formed by pasting a number of short strips together which require an unnecessary amount of tedious troublesome work and furthermore such jointed strips frequently interfere with the feed and cause irregularities in the paying out of the stamps.
In the accompanying; drawing,Figure 1 is a face view of a portion of a strip containing a single row of stamps running longitudinally of the strip, and provided with side laps or margins. Fig. 2 is a similar view'of a portion of a strip illustrating a double row of stamps. Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. l with numbers consecutively arranged on one of the side laps.
In carrying out the invention the stamps are printed on a continuous strip of paper a in a single longitudinal row as in Figs. 1 and 3 or in two or more rows as in Fig. 2. In each instance the stamps are separated longitudinally from one another by transverse rows of perforations e and from the edges of the strips by longitudinal perforations 7) thereby forming a side lap or margin on each edge of the strip by means of which margins said strips are fed through the printing machines, and all danger of smear- Specification of Letters Patent.

ing the freshly applied ink by feeding rolls is avoided. Because of the side laps or margins c the side teeth of the stamps are formed in full which could not be done if the side laps or waste laps, as they may be termed, were not present, as the teeth would have to be especially cut in the edges of the stamps. The side laps 0 are also convenient and useful for numbering the stamps as shown in Fig. 3, the numbers running consecutively 0n the strip from end to end thereof. It is only necessary therefore for the proper person to glance at the marginal numbers to determine how many stamps have been used and how many remain on the roll. The perforations may be applied to the strip before printing the stamps thereon, but it is preferred to first print the stamps and then perforate them.
hat I claim is A continuous strip or Web of material having on one side a plurality of equally spaced impressions, a longitudinal row of perforations running the length of the strip or web between each lateral edge of the strip and the adjacent edge of the row of impressions, a row of transverse perforations between each impression extending only to the longitudinal rows of perforations, whereby an unbroken margin or lap is formed on each side of the strip, and a series of consecutively arranged numerals on one of said laps, one numeral being placed in line with each impression.
In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
OSCAR OEHRING.
