IMPROVEMENT IN COIN-HOLDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 189,939, dated April 24, 1877 application filed September 19, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY G. HUESTED, of Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Coin-Holders; and 1 do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The object of my invention is to improve coin-holders, as will be understood from the following description:

In the annexed drawings I have represented a coin-holder, which is composed of one piece of paper or other suitable material formed of two semi-cylinders united by a hinge or crease, and constructed with a lap-joint held together by lips a passing through slots at. Other suitable means may be employed for holding the said lap-joint securely. Sometimes this lapjoint may be permanently secured by any suitable cement. One end of this holder, represented by Figure l, is constructed as represented by Fig. 2-that is to say, I form two semicircular portions, 0 e, an intermediate circular portion, f, and lips g g. In practice I shall apply mucilage' to the intermediate flap so that when the parts a e g g are brought together over the end of the envelope, and the mucilage on -the flap f moistened, the whole can be readily sealed over the end of the envelope. The opposite end of the envelope may be constructed substantially as above'described. The envelope of Figs. 1 and 2 is constructed with short slots a and intermediate connections I).

Fig. 3 shows two semi-cylinders. closed at both ends, and united by a flexible flap, h.

I propose to indicate on the exterior of each envelope the denomination and amount of the coin which such envelope is designed to contain.

The advantage of this arrangement of slots is that the entire contents of each envelope are exposed to view at a glance without haviug to turn the envelope; and, while this is the case, the intermediate connections hold the coin safely.

What I claim as new is- 1. The coin-holder herein described, composed of two semi-cylinders jointed together and constructed with oblong slots arranged alternately in two rows, with intermediate connections between the slots, as shown.

2. The coin-holder, having at each end a circular closing flap, f, in combination with the semicircular flaps e e and the intermediate portions 9 g, as shown and described.

111 testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HENRY G. HUESTED.
