v Application led January 11, 1922, Serial No. $248,439.
To all whom z't may concern.'
Be it known that I, lEDWARD P. Smmrox, a citizen of the United States, residing at Knoxville, in the county of Knox, State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination Mailing Forms, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the figures of reference marked thereonj.
This invention relates to paper blanks, such as letters and cards adapted to receive writing or printed indicia for mailing purposes, and with particular reference to mailing cards especially adapted for advertising purposes and the like.
One of the objects of this invention is to provide a paper blank adapted to receive indicia such as a letter or mailing card which combines all the features of the present type of letter or lcard and the advertising advantages of an envelope stulier, pamphlet, booklet, leaflet or return postal card or coupon.
Another Y, feature ofv this invention vresidesin providing al postal card with 'an integral portion foldable along the edge line of the card so as to overlap into the body of the card to forma booklet or leaflet adapted to receive advertising .matten or adapted to carry additional sheets or leaflets for the purpose desired.
Still another object of this invention resides in providing a mailing card with a distinctive portion of desired shape or color, which distinctive portion is .formed with an extension integral with the body of the card, the extension folding` along the edge of the card and into the body of the card whereby to form a folder corresponding in shape and distinctive appearance with the distinctive portion sothat the mailing card tppears to carry a separate booklet or .leaf- Still another object of this invention resides in providing the above construction with an additional extension `folding along the edge of the card into the folder or leaflet and adapted to be used as a return mailing` card.
hese and other ob]ects will in part be obvious and will in part be hereinafter more fully disclosed. i
In the drawings which show lby way of illustration one embodiment of the inven- Figure 1 is a when closed;
Fig. 2 is a section therethrough, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the card when completely opened.
Referring more particularly to the accompanying drawings, the invention While perspective view of the card equally adapted to be incorporated in the standard form of letter sheet, is herein shown in connection with a mailing card. This card comprises a single blank of suitable letter paper or paper stock, such as bristol, cover stock, enamel paper or bond paper 1, preferably lfoldable along one o r more lines such as along the central line 2 to form -a foldable card or lthe like in a compact mailing size as shown in Fig. 1L The upper portlon of the blank shown in Fig. 3 is adapted to be used for the of the cafrd. This vface is shown as at 3 in Fig. 1. The obverse face of the card 1 as shown in Fig. Sis adapted to be used as a letter, for advertising purposes, printed or written matter, any purpose. lin the present instance, the blank is shown as adapted for suitable advertising matter of firms sendingI out the blank. This card 1 is provided at any desired portion, and in the present instance, the lower left-hand portion of the card is selected asan illustration, with a distinctive portion'or isolated portion 4 which is provided with an extension 5 of suitable length so as to provide the desired number of folds integral or of one piece therewith. Preferably this extension 5 folds along' the edge line 6 the card so as to form a lealiet or folder. The portion l is given different distinctive appearances by being tinted, or by different color, or is isolated from the main body of thecard 1 by ruled lines or by spaces, orin fact, in any manner. `So also this distinctive portion 4 may assume any shape, this latter being particularly desirable where the advertisement pertains to the shape of any commodity, such as a bottle of liquor to be advertised, a phonograph or what not. In this case, the extension 5 is preferably of the same shape and size. lt will be noted that this extension 5 when it folds over address.
of the card into the body ofvASSIIGNOR 0F (INE-HALF T0 or for any or in fact, forv on to or. within the marginal lines of the portion' 4 forms a complete cover so that the portions 4 and 5 together with the reverse side of the portion 5 form, in fact, a distinct booklet or leaflet, which, while being integral or of the same piece with the blank l, yet appears to have a separate identity.
These portions 4 and 5 are adapted for any type of advertising purpose, and to this end, may be printed, lithographed, colored, and may contain indicia or any matter desired. The reverse side of the extension 5 kmay also be correspondingly used stead of using a separate number of leaves,
a single sheet or sheets may be used which are adapted to carry samples of the commodity to be advertised. The extensions 4 and 5 may also'be used as a catalogue or price list of the commodity to be advertised.
In case it beI desired to incorporate a return post-card, with the card 1, the body ofthe card 1 is provided with an integral or same-piece extension of suitable size and shape for this purpose. Preferably, the lower left-hand or isolated portion of the card is provided with the integral extension 9 foldable along the bottom marginal line 10 of the card. This extension 9 is preferably of size and shape to fold backwardly into the distinctive or isolated portion 4 of the card so as to be covered and held in position when the extension 5 is also folded into the body of the card. And the two extensions 5 and 9 are in turn held in overlapping'` position between the main folds of the blank formed by the fold line 2. This extension 9 is provided with suitable matter as in the case of ordinary return post cards or coupons. From the foregoing description it is manifestA that this isolated stuii'er, and return card and coupon. One of the main advantages being that the booklet, catalogue, or price list carried by the post card will not become detached or lost when it is read b thereceiver.
In certain aspects of the invention it is desirable to perforate the line or division separating the letterhead from the envelope Stuiier portions 4 and 5 of the extension so that if desirable the folder or envelope stufier may be bodil detached from the letterhead proper for ling purposes.
Obviously, many variations of the embodiment illustrated are within the contemplation of the invention, and it is not desired to restrict the invention to the precise form illustrated or described, except in so far as it is limited by the scope of the appended claims.A
