Application January 15, 1942, Serial No. 426,867
3 Claims.
This invention relates to an improvement in cover mountings.
This device is for use in connection with philatelic covers, and also for removably mounting post-cards, photographs, documents, etc.
It is important to philatelists that the backs of covers be visible as well as the fronts, so that the postal-markings on the backs, which are often of great importance to the stamp-collector, may be seen, and so that the condition of the backs of the covers and also any notes or memoranda either as to the price or history of the covers, may be readily visible.
The present methods of mounting have many disadvantages. For instance, in one commercial type, it is necessary to remove the cover from the mounting in order to show the back, the corners of the covers become dogeared, the art corners quite commonly used frequently become loosened and fall off, and it is difiicult to mount the covers and line them up properly in the first place.
In another type, the mounting is done by ordinary stamp hinges, which are too flimsy. The
hinges come 01f, and also leave marks on the covers.
In still another type, transparent pockets are used. These tear very easily, the covers do not stay in position, and sometimes fall off, and the vision is not clear. Furthermore, this type of mounting is very expensive.
In still another form of mounting, the covers must always be removed in order to examine the back and the corners of the cover, and the page in the album frequently becomes worn and damaged.
My present invention may be fitted on to proctically any size cover simply by sliding and adjusting the top corners and pockets. When the gummed back of the mounting is attached to the page, it holds the cover, regardless of size, firmly in place, and at the sam time permits almost complete visibility of the back as well as the front by simply lifting the cover and swinging it on its hinge. For even greater visibility, the holders may be made of transparent material. If the holders are gummed with peelable gum, such as is used on stamp hinges, they may also be removed from the page, and the page used over again, which cannot be done with any other type of mounting.
In my improved corner mounting, the covers may be easily removed from, and/or inserted in the corner pockets.
The principal feature of my mounting lies in corner-pockets adjustably or slidably connected together in connection with a hinging feature, which permits the device, with the cover held therein, to be turned so that the back of the cover may be exposed as well as the front, without removing the cover from the mounting.
This invention would seem to be a particularly desirable feature in making collections of picture postal-cards, so that the message could be seen and read without removing the card from the holder.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate an envelope hinged in position on a backing such as a page of a stampalbum, Fig. 1 showing the cover turned up to expose the back or flap side, and Fig. 2 showing the envelope turned down with the face exposed.
Fig. 3 is a detail in perspective showing the left-hand mounting;
Fig. 4 is a view in perspective of an upper corner pocket adapted to slide and be adjustable on the mounting shown in Fig. 3;
Figs. 5 and 8 illustrate blanks from which the two parts of the mounting are formed; and Figs. 6 and 7 illustrate the right and left mountings before their lower ends, cut from the blank shown in Fig. 5, are folded in shape to form the lower pockets of the mounting;
Figs. 9 and 10 represent the blank shown in Fig. 8 severed through the dotted line to form the adjustable upper pockets, one of which is i1- lustrated in Fig. 4
Fig. 11 shows a liner; and
Fig. 12 is an edge view looking toward the left-hand edge of the mounting and envelope as illustrated in Fig. 2.
E represents an envelope or cover.
The right and left hand mountings are substantially alike, except that their lower ends are folded oppositely. Therefore, the following is a detail description of the blank from which the left-hand mounting is formed. Referring to Fig. '7, the numeral l represents the blank from which one member of the left-hand mounting is formed. The dotted lines 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 preferably divide the lower portion of the blank into three rectangular sections 1, 8 and 9, and two triangular corner sections I 0 and II. These may be conveniently folded in the following way: The sections 1, 8 and ID are folded back on the dotted line 3, so that section 8 falls back of section 9, and section l0 back of section II, and section 1 back of the lower end of the blank I, and section 1 is adapted to be glued to the latter.
Sections 8 and. 9 are then folded over the section I along the dotted line 4, and then the sections 8, 9, l and II, which are now superposed upon one another are folded upwardly along the dotted line 5 and glued in place, thus forming the pocket [2 shown in Fig. 3, which is adapted to receive the left hand lower corner of the cover, such as an envelope, card, photograph, or other article to be held by the mountings, as shown in dotted lines at the upper left-hand corner of Fig. l, and in full lines at the lower left-hand corner of Fig. 2.
The left hand adjustable pocket shown in Fig. 4 is formed from the blank shown in Fig. 9, which may be divided into four rectangular sections 13, M, l5 and I5, and two triangular sections I! and I8 by the intervening dotted lines 19, 20, 2|, 22 and 23. In order to form the pocket, this blank should be folded along the .central dotted line 2 I, so that the corresponding sections l5, l6 and I8 are superposed upon sections [4, 1-3 and fl, respectively. .Sections 13 and it are then folded back alongthe dotted lines i9 and 23, and then turned on the dotted lines 20 and 22,, and the section it is then'glued tothe section l5,thus forming a sleeve 24 to receive the long upper-end of the member l of the mounting, whereby the two parts are slidably and adjustably connected together, and also forming apocket 25 adapted to receive the upper left-hand corner of the cover, card, or other article to be held.
In placing the card or envelope, their cover corners are placed in the right and left pockets corresponding to that indicated by the numeral 12 in Fig. 2, and then the upper pockets 25 are slid along the member i until they are pro-perly adjusted thereon to fit the upper left :hand corners of the cover or card, and then the extended gummed ends 26 of members -i are bent over back, as shown in full lines in Fig. 1 .and dotted lines in Fig. 2 and moistened and made to adhere to the page or sheet 21 on which the device is to be mounted, thereby locking the'slidable pockets 25 in position to hold the article snugly and to form a hinge to facilitate the turning of the mounting either upor down as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2.
A liner L, such as shown in Fig. 11, of thin paper or other flexible material may be inserted between the mounting thus formed and the article held therein as viewed in Fig. ,12 in order to keep the .gummed surface of the holder away from the surface of the cover so that there would be no possibility of its adhering in'hot o r damp weather. Thisliner maybe eithercutoff ,or-fo'lded under when the cover is .mounted. :Such a liner may be used or not, accordinglyas required.
While I have shown and described in detail a means and method of forming the pockets l2 and 25 and the sleeve 24, I am aware that these might be differently formed since this is by no means the only way to form these parts. It is a simple means and method, however, and illustrates one possible way of accomplishing the purposes, and, therefore, I do not wish to be confined to this specific construction. The main idea to be kept in mind is that the parts forming the mounting are slidably connected together to provide for a proper placement of the pockets to conform to the Width of and fit the cover to be held, and to provide a hinge whereby both sides of the cover may be easily exposed to view.
Another advantage of the manner of folding these corners as I have worked it out is that there is-no joined surface on the inside of the pocket to come loose or catch the corner of the cover. In other words, by the special method of folding hereinbefore described, there is an entirely smooth surface inside the .pocket.
I claim:
1. An article of the character described comprising two members, one .at least in .the form of a strip which has a pocket thereon, the ,other member in the form of a pocket, said pockets adapted to receive corners of the article to be held therebetween, one of these members slidably connected to the strip, the strip having an extension adapted to be made to adhere to the page or sheet .to which the article is to be attached and to form a hinge whereby the article to be held may be exposed oneither side by swinging it on the hinge.
2. An article of the character described comprising a strip and pockets adapted to receive corners of the article to be held, one of the pockets secured to the stripandtheother pocket adjustably connected with the strip for adjustment to .the size of said article, the strip having an extension for attachment to a support, the extension having the double function of forming .a hinge and .of holding the adjustable pocket in placeagainstthe article held between the pockets.
3. An article of the character described including a strip,.an end of which is to be secured to a supporting sheet, and the remaining portion hinged thereto, and two pockets connected with this remaining portionof the strip,.one :pocket fixed on thestrip and the other adjustable-on thestrip .and in which pockets the article to be held is adapted to be detachably inserted.
