COMBINATION :P os'r CARD AND LETTER.

I Application fiiea December 26, 1925. Serial No. 77,798,

My invention relates to a new and useful improvement in a combination post card. and

,letter and has for its object the pro-vision of a post card combined with a sheet of writing paper so that the user will have the convenience of the post card for correspondence and the capacity of a. letter size for wr1t1ng upon.

Another object of the invention is the pro vision of a cardboard back with a flexible sheet or number of sheets attached to the address side so that a large amount of correprinting a picture or the like thereon.

Another object ofthe invention is the pro vision of a flexible sheet attached to a stiff back member which serves as a post card, the flexible sheet having afiixing means so that it, when used as a correspondence sheet maybe folded upon the card to conceal the correspondence and attached in this concealing po sition.

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood from a reference to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification and in which Fig. 1 is a plan View of one form of the invention.

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary plan view of another form of the invention.

Fig. 8 is a plan View of the invention.

Fig. 4 is a plan View of another form of the invention.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary elevat-ional view of another form of the invention. 1

Fig. 6 is a sectional view taken on substantially line 6-6 of Fig. 2.

In the form shown in Fig. 1 I have pro vided a stiff cardboard portion 7 which may be used in the customary manner of postal cardsone-half of the one side being used for the address and the other half being used for correspondence, the reverse side carrying apicture of local interest of theplace from which mailed. Connected along its edge to the division line on the post card is a sheet of paper 9 which is positioned overa second I of the sheet 9 being used for correspondence and both sidesof the sheet lO-so that considerable correspondence maybe written upon the sheets and concealed by the sheet 9'-or coverflap. As shown in Fig. 1 the sheet 9 is provided with a short tongue which projects from the edge thereof and which may be glued to the card portion 7this tongue 11 being gummed if desired.

- In the form shown in Fig. 2 a similar strue ture is arrangedthe card 7 having the ad dress portion 8 and provided with theflexible writing sheets 9 and 10the,sheet 9 having the tongue 11 projecting therefrom. This structure is the same as shown in Fig. l excepting that the flexible writing sheets are connected along their edges along the uPbel edges of the card 7 1n the formsho'wn in Fig. 3 is connected by means of wi'res'17 and 18 pro jected therethrough and doubled over upon a' sheet of writing paper which is formed larger wardly upon itself on the lines 12 and 14 and again upon itself on the line 15. The flap 19 is provided with the tongue 19 which may be secured to the post card 16 by means'of wire clips such as the wire clips 17 or 18 or which may be guinmed or pasted to the post card. This structure and arrangement provides a greater capacity than the other forms illustrated and possesses in addition thereto all. of the advantages and features heretofore pointed out.

In this structure the address would be written on theback of the flap 19.

The reverse side of the post card could be utilized tocarry the picture or illustration previously, mentioned.

In the form shown in Fig. 4 the card 25 carries on one side the flexible writing sheet 20 which has the portions 22 and. 24 projecting outwardly from the upper and lower edges of the card 25. This writing sheet comprise'these portions serving to carry the correspondence as stated. Inuse after the correspondence is written upon the sheet the portion24 is folded upon the card 25 or fupon the portion 20 and the the card 16 A thatthe flapmay be of various designs for V special seasonal eee'asions. The flap 9", is

alsoprovided with the securing tongue 11". It will be noted from Fig. 6 that the flap 11" is doubled upon itself so tllmtithedonbiedmaimng portion o the tongue 11 sothat a neat opening of the device may be effected. In this way a mutilation of the sheet 9 upon 15 avoided and the 'efli'cien'cy the device con-' sid erably increased.

7 These remarks apply to the tongues 11, 23, 11 and 19. j l a h y In this way I have provided a post card having the features pointed out and providgreater capacity for correspondence,

h'e variation in structure is one which is such that little additional-cost of manufacture is met and the convenience consic'lerable.

. While 1 have illustratedand described the preferred form of structure, I do not Wish to limit myself to the precieedetaiis of structure shown, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come Within the scope of tlamiappended claim.

Having thus described my invention What I claim asn'e'w and desire to secure by Letters Patent is;

A "combine-turn card and letter of the class described,"comprising: a post card por;
