Description

UNITED STATES PATENT V OFFICE JOHN Gr. ROGERS, OF VAN BUREN COUNTY, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR T0 HMSELF AND JAMES C. CRANDALL.
IMPROVEMENT IN STAMP-HOLDERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 118,488, dated August 29, 1871.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN G. ROGERS, of Van Buren county and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stamp- Holders, of which the following is a specification:
The object of my invention is to provide a safe and convenient holder for postage and revenuestamps.
In the accompanying drawing making a part of this specification, Figure l is a perspective outline view of a device embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal view through the diameter. Fig. 3 is an end view of the interior, showing the coiled position of the stamp.
The different parts of the drawing are referred to by letters and similar parts by similar letters, in which drawing A is a cylindrical box, formed by coiling a thin piece of sheet metal so as'to form an open tube with the ends of the sheet overlapping. O 0 represent the heads of the tube. One of these heads, (3, is firmly attached to the tube, but the other, C, is made detachable by means of the hooks d, which are attached to this head, and engage with the eyes in the tube.
To put on and take ofi' this head the tube should be pressed, so as to elongate the end in the direction of the eyes sufiiciently to admit the hook, when on being relieved it will spring back to its normal position, thus holding the head sufficiently secure.
The object in making this head detachable is for the convenience of putting in the stamps. These should be obtained in long strips, and coiled, as seen at a in Fig. 3, with the loose end proj ectin gthrough between the overlappin g sides of the tube or box A. A small staple, D, is passed through the outer lap of thetube A, and fastened to the inner lap A. Now, it will be seen that a slight pressure on the staple D will widen the space in which the projecting end of the stamp is held, andthis will allow the stamp to be drawn out freely. When said staple is not pressed the stamp should be held sufficiently tight by the tube to keep it in proper position. This can be done by coiling the tube sufliciently close at the point of overlapping.
Having thus fully described my invention, I claim A stamp-holder, constructed as described, provided with the staple D, passing through the outer case A and attached to the inner flexible jaw A, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
JOHN G. ROGERS.
