IMPRINT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
. Patented Jan. 29, 1918.
Application filed June 15, 1917. Serial I\To. 174,848.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHRISTOPHER PEEL, a.
citizen of the United States, and a resident of Coscob, county of Fairfield, andState of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Imprints, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to printed matter used for circulatory or advertising purposes, etc., as for bank notes or other currency, postage and other stamps, labels, tickets and so forth which it is desirable to have readable alike from all positions and points of view,my object being to render the imprint identically the same in appearance whether viewed from top, bottom, front, back or sides, and to so blend the unitary duplex design employed that it cannot be segregated or subdivided into individual, complete, component parts, which might be used for fraudulent purposes. That is to say that while the imprinted matter is duplex in character it is also unitary in design in that one part cannot be detached from the other without rendering the segregation obvious.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1, is a face new of an imprinted sheet illustrating the essential features of my invention as applied to a bank or similar note,it being understood that I do not limit my invention to such use;
Fig. 2, is a like view of the other face of the imprinted sheet shown in Fig. 1.
By reference to the drawings it will be seen that each portion of the imprint on either side of the medial dotted line a-a, although inverted with relation to the other is essentially the same when viewed from either the top or the bottom of the sheet, so that the make up and design of the imprint is unitary as well as duplex in character. Nevertheless, should the sheet be severed along the medial line aa, the act would destroy the integrity of the design and render the segregation obvious, because the rosettes b, b, and scroll-work c, 0, would thereby be rendered incomplete. Thus one duplication blends into the other in such manner that they are interdependent and of no practical value if separated.
Of course other figures and outlines might be substituted for the rosettes b, and scrolls c, in a similar manner with like result, so that I do not limit myself in this respect, the essential feature being the blendin of the inverted duplex portions of the imprint the one into the other in such manner that the "unitary design thus created is not strictly bigoods and packages so as to afford the same appearance and information irrespective of which end or side the package may be presented to view.
Furthermore it may be said that the topand bottom of the design are eliminated, because the design presents the same appearance viewed from either edge; and when both faces of the sheet are so imprinted, as
for currency etc., in like manner the terms back and front may be eliminated because both faces of the sheet present identically the same appearance.
As a result, when my method of imprint is used for circulating notes, etc., the latter are always right side and face up, and need no re-arranging, being always readable for the full face value whichever side of the sheet is presented to View. Obviously this effects a great saving in time and labor on the part of tellers, cashiers and others han dling bank notes and securities.
As applied to postage, revenue and other stamps, and to labels and pasters generally, it obviates the possibility of reversing in position, and the inconvenience or confusion resulting therefrom.
By the term unitary duplex design or imprint as herein used I mean, and limit myself to, a unitary design in whichparallel duplex fac-similes are united medially base to base, i. e.,with what may be designated as the bottom of each fac-simile abutting and joining that of the other, in contradistinction to mere end to end duplication of the same printed matter asset forth in Letters Patent No. 477,038, of June 14, 1892.
What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,
A. currcy note comprising a sheet of g meshes suitable material having both sides thereof imprinted alike With identically the same duplex unitary design extending the full length of the note and consisting each of parallel facsimiles inverted with relation to each other and blending into and united medially base to base with like means partly on each side of the longitudinal medial line throughout the length of the note and mergie ing into each other whereby both faces of the note present the same appearance from any point of wow, renderlng 1t unnecessary to turn the note either transversely orlongitudinally in order to read or arrange the same.
