JAMES M. KEEP, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN STAMP-HOLDERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 155,312, dated September 22, 1874; application filed. February 19, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES M. KEEP, of New York city, in the county of New York and in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stamp-Holders; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing making a partof this specification, in which is shown, in perspective, a book containing leaves of my prepared paper for the reception of adhesive stamps.
A source of much annoyance and loss to individuals arises from the tendency of adhesive stamps to adhere to each other, or to contiguous articles, when carried about the person, as the mueilage upon the backs of said stamps readily absorbs moisture from perspiration or the air.
To remedy this objection is the design of my invention, which consists in a stamp-holder composed of paper coated with a non-adhesive preparation, which is indissoluble in water, substantially as and for the purpose hereinafter specified.
In the use of my invention various forms of holder may be employed, but as the principle involved is the .same in each it will only be necessary to illustrate one of the same.
In the annexed drawing, A represents an ordinary memorandum-book, having the whole or a portion only of its leaves B coated exteriorly with a preparation composed of paraffine, wax, or stearine, combined with mineral or earthy material, the relative proportions of said parts being varied in accordance with the absorbent qualities of the paper. The surface of the paper thus coated is rendered water-proof, so that adhesive preparations which are soluble in water cannot be made to adhere thereto, but at the same time said paper is not in any degree oily, nor will it soil articles placed in contact therewith.
It, now, postage or other adhesive stamps are placed between sheets of the prepared. paper, no degree of dampness will cause them to adhere thereto, and they may be as freely removedtherefrom as though composed of plain unadhesive paper.
For ordinary purposes it will be necessary .to employ but two or more sheets of the prepared paper, which may be fastened into a memorandum-book, porte-monnaie, &c.
Having thus fully set forth the nature and merits of my invention, what I claim is- As a new article of manufacture, a stampholder composed of paper coated with a nonadhesive preparation which is indissoluble in water, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 16th day of February, 1874.
J. M. KEEP.
