J. THORNTON. Button-Gard.
Patented May 27, 1879 "if FFI JOHN THORNTON, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN BUTTON-CARDS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 215,992, dated May 27, 1879; application filed February 21, 1879.
To all whom it may concern: 1
Be it known that I, JOHN THORNTON, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Button-Cards, of which the following is a specification.
My invention consists of the combination of a strip of card board having retaining-lips with a series of button-cards, each of the latter being provided with enveloping-flaps, by means of which a store-keeper, before he dolivers a card to a purchaser, can readily convert the same into a neat and compact package without resorting to separate wrappers.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1. is a view of part of a strip with a number of cards of buttons'thereon; Fig. 2, a transverse section of Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a rear view, in perspective, of a card of buttons with envelopingfiaps; Fig. 4, a face view, in perspective, of the button-card with the flaps extended; and Fig. 5, a view of the card of buttons inclosed in its enveloping-flaps.
A is a card, to which the buttons (a dozen in the present instance) are secured in the usual manner. To the back of this card are secured enveloping-flaps a a a a, one of which is gummed on the edge 1), as shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
1n the strip B of card-board, near each edge of the same, are made a series of semicircular incisions, forming lips f, which are bent to overlap the ends of the button-cards and retain them in place.
When the button-cards are applied to the strip B the flaps a are folded against the back of each card, as shown in Fig. 3, so that said card presents the same appearance as an ordinary card of buttons. 7
ufactured and before the incisions have been made .therein or strips of fabric may be pasted upon the face or back of the strip to re-enforce the lips.
I do not desire to claim, broadly, the strip B, with its slits; nor do I desire to claim, separately considered, a card to which foldingflaps are secured; but
I claim as my invention The combination of a strip, B, having lips f, with a series of button-cards, A, each card having flaps a a a, which can be folded beneath the card when the latter is attached to the strip, so as to expose the buttons, or can be used as a wrapper when the card is detached, all as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
J N O. THORNTON.
Witnesses WM. J. COOPER, HARRY SMITH.
