UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JAMES N. ORABB, OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.
COIN-CARRIER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 618,497, dated. January 31, 1899.
Application filed Tune 14, 1898. Serial No. 683 ,425. (N0 model.)
T0 on whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JAMES N. CRABB, of Indianapolis, county of Marion, and State of Indiana, have invented a certain new and useful Coin-Carrier; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,,clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which like figures refer to like parts.
The purpose of this invention is to make a superior coin-carrier that will safely hold the coin during its transmission and which will be very economic to make.
One advantage resulting from this invention, aside from those just stated, is the large amount of advertising-space on the carrier, which gives to the thing as a whole much more Value than if it were limited to just the space on the card containing the coin. v
The full nature of this invention will be understood from the accompanying drawings and the description and claims following.
In the drawings, Figure I is a plan of the inside of the coin carrier when unfolded. Fig. II is a plan of the device when folded. Fig. III is a cross-section of the same when folded.
I take a sheet made of cardboard or similar stiif material and fold it into three parts substantially equal. One of the sections thus formed I call the body 1 of the coin-carrier, and the others are flaps 2 and 3. It is immaterial which of the sections is used as the body portion. In the drawings I show one of the end sections so used. In said bodysection I place along both of its edges a series of coin-slots in pairs. Each pair consists of the slot 4, so out, whether straight or preferably curved, as shown, that it will receive and hold an edge of the coin. For this purpose the distance from one end of the slot to the other on a straight line must be less than the greatest diameter of the coin, so that the coin cannot slip through it. It is preferable that such slot be curved, as shown, so as to form a tongue that extends toward the flap or nearest the edge of the body of the card containing the slot. This slot is placed also at such a distance from the edge of the body of the card that when a coin is placed in it the opposite edge of said coin will be held down by the flap that envelops the edge of the body of the card opposite the slot referred to, as is shown in the drawings. In this way the coin can have no movement in any direction. It cannot be moved laterally because of the ends of the slot preventing. It cannot be moved in the other direction because of the slot and also the flap; butthe preferable arrangement consists in placing a second slot 5 about midway between the slot 4 and the edge of the card or the flap sufficiently long that the coin may be inserted through it. This slot likewise is curved, preferably,an'd toward the other slot, although this ,is not absolutely required. Between these two slots, therefore, a band is left, as shown, that extends over the coin when it is slipped through the two slots from the direction of the flap, as shown by the arrow. This band has for its chief function the prevention of lateral movement of the coin. This is a precaution in addition to what was mentioned in the preceding paragraph for accomplishing this re sult. It holds the coin much more firmly in place, and when the fiap is turned down over the coin it is clear that the coin can have no movement whatever in any direction. There is a series of these pairs of slots along each edge of the main card, and each of such edges is enveloped by a flap when the device is folded. The length of the slots is varied to form receptacles for the various coins.
A great advantage of this construction is that the whole device can be made by one stroke of the die or cutting device, so that the cost of its manufacture is reduced as low as is possible. Nothing is to be pasted either at the time of manufacture or at the time of use as a coin-carrier.
Another advantage is that the two surfaces of both flaps, as well as the surface of the card containing the slots, may be used for advertising purposes and said cards be sent by manufacturers and others to their customers throughout the country for use as coin-carriers and also as means of advertising.
Another advantage is that the coin-carrier can be used over and over again without changing it in any part, as no part is to be fastened or injured at any time. For this reason one card may go on a great number of missions as a carrier, and thus multiply its usefulness.
' sis i9"? the coin to receive and hold the edge of the coin and a companion slot greater than the diameter of the coin between the first slot and the edge of the card through which the coin can be inserted, and flaps for enveloping both edges of the card.
In witness whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature in the presence of the Witnesses herein named.
