V`My invention relates to improvements in insurance policyforins wherein as'heetfoldj able along a transverse centerline .and iinfront and back portions of the policyandV Y held attached to said front and backportions:

`unt-il the policy is to befilled out.

The primary object of my invention is to I provide lan improved insurance policy form.

Anotherobject is to` provide, an improved forrn-wherein triplicate v.sheets are .formed vrfrom a single sheet as parts of an insurance` policy, saidsheets being folded into-accurate-V .lledout y n Y A furtherobject-is to-provide anV improved form which will facilitatel printing and numbering of policies and which will-insure conformity-as to the numbering of thetriplicate sheets of the policy. VAnother object is to provide-an improved policy which will facilitate thegathering of the Vprinted sheets, and which will insure against the loss or inisplacingof any of the sheets` of; al ;po licy.{ j Y v A still 'further object is to provide animproved policy which will facilitate the insertion of carbon paper and the lillingout of the policy and the daily report and agents i record sheets forming a part thereof.

'i The policy and the sheets 3 and 4 are all numbered to correspondgiandpas i-t is essen,-l tial thatfan accurate record be kept of all policies, it isfhiglily important that the nurnbering ,of the.'sheets eonitornes and that all u jsheetsare present when fthe poflicylis'flilledA out:` lVhe-re'the slieets'arej printed separate ly; as in they common-practice heretofore, the .printed sheetslniust-bekgathered andstuled.

If one sheet f is gathered 5 incorrectly,V as by i tu lce

`entryspa'ces;` and aj lateral extensiony `formed v and all lthe sheets areheld inattachnaent with eachother so that a' siinpl'e folding process takes thefplace of f the usual Ygathering and stu'hng ot'tl'iesheetsf,` and no mi's'talpe'can possibly be made# FurthermoreL-the sheets'are held together so that-no sheet can b e lost.

Vhen the policy isfolded-to nornial relation* as "shown iin Figa, 3 of the drawings, Vthe sheets Sand 4are bound together along their V upper edges Within the fold of the'body' of the policy, and `at the's'anietimeVthe sheets vare held attached to the back of the policy. This insures that the fornis printed upon theface of thepolicy Aandupon-'sheets and 4 will be heldin accurately registered relation.

The ends efthe yface portieril 1 ran'dsheet 3 are free so? that sheets of carbonfpaper maybef inserted between the sheets Without separating -anyof the slieet'sgalong tht perforated lines of fold, therebyfacilitating the inserting of'canbon paperV and permitting theforms Yto be filled out in.theftriplicate-atfone operation.;
