SPEQIFZCATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 633,360, dated September 19, 1899. Application filed February 26, 1897. serial No, 625,167. No model.)
To (LZZ whom it 71mg concern.-
Be it known that I, JEFFREY '1. Frances, a, citizen of the United States, residing at Anderson, in the county of Madison, in the State 5 of Indiana, have invented a certain new and useful Photograph-Protector, of which the ollowing is a description, reference being had t the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification. My novel photograph-protector is a device intended more particularly for usein mailing photographs, and is adapted to protect them from damage in-the mails, each protector being adapted to receive either a single photograph or several together. Its novelty will be hereinafter set for-t-l1,aml particularly point-ed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device in. open po- :1. corresponding view 'of it closed, and Fig. 3 an enlarged cross-section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.
The same letters of reference are used to represent corresponding parts in the several views.
Various means and devices have been heretofore employed to protect photographs from damage in transmission through the mails, the most common means being simply two 0 pieces, of cardboard of approximately the size of the photograph and between which the latter is placed and 'held by the wrapper or envelop in which the parts are placed to be mailed. This means has not been entirely satisfactory, but open to various objections, among others the liability of the photograph to slipout endwise from between the two cardboards in event the latter were placed for mailing in an envelop opening at the end, as
40 do the common form of photograph-envelops, the fact that unless the cardboards were quite thick, weight, they would not suilicicntly protect the photograph, and, finally, the inconvenience of handling the two separate boards and property holding them in position relatively to the photographs.
I have produced a novel holder and-pro tcctor which overcomes the above and other objections to the devices heretofore employed,
which is convenient to handle, furnishes coml I s plete protection for the photograph, and is of very lightweight, and consequently requ ircs asmall amount of postage. Itconsists of a sheet of double-faced corrugated paper of the usual character of suitable length and width to form when creased transversely at its middle two backs orcovers A B, hinged together at their adjacent ends, as seen in Fig. l, and adapted to be folded together upon each other and inclose between them a photograph, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
In order that proper space may be left between the two covers when folded together to receive between them more than one photograph, ifdesired, without-springing the covers apart at their free outer ends opposite their hingedconnection, the sheet of corrugated paper from which they are formed is preferably provided at its middle with two distinct 7o oppositely-extendingtransverse creases a and b, formed by breaking down and compressing the upper surface of the sheet of corrugated paper by means of a die or other implement of suitable width to properly separate the two creases a 7), formed at its opposite edges, there being thus formed a narrow transverse strip or back 0, interposed between the covers Add, and to the opposite edges of which said covers are hinged along the creases a b. This provision of the two creases (0b and the intermediate narrow end piece or back 0 serves to properly separate the covers A and l; at their hinged ends to accommodate the photograph or photographs to be placed between them.
It will be seen by referring to Fig. 2 that when the protector is folded the creases a. and I) extend outwardly in opposite directions from the space between the two covers, thus forming an expansible hinge, and that the 9 hinge can expand a distance equal to the com- 1 bincd depth of the creases, and that the strip and consequently of considerable c duos not-expainl, and therefore can be made of suiiicient thickness to prevent anyliability of breaking when any numberofphotographs are packed in the protector.
- When a photograph is placed between the covers and the latter closed upon it, as in Figs. 2 and i, and the device then inserted open ,cnd first into the ordinary photo- 1 graph-envelop opening at one end, the photogrrph cannot possiblypscape from lhQG-Lk,
vclop without removal of the protector, since the hinged end of. the latter is adjacent the open end of the envelop, and therefore prevents the escape of the photograph, while the closed opposite end of the envelop prevents the escape of the photograph in the opposite direction, and by simply tucking in the flap of the envelop over the hinged protector between the latter and the adjacent side of the envelop the protector may be held within the envelop with sufficient security for transmission through the mails without the necessity for either sealing or tying the envelop.
' The corrugated paper-is formed of three sheets of comparatively thin straw-paper, the two facing sheets and the interposed corrugated sheet, so that while it is quite light it is of great rigidity and firmness in proportion to its weight, and the protector formed from it in the manner above described serves to efficien tly guard the incloscd photograph from damage either in the cancelingot the postagestamps or in transmission in the mails, while it isat the same time cheap to manufacture and convenient to handle.
Having thus fully described my invention, I claim As a new article of manufacture, it photograplrprotectorconsisting of the two cover portions A and B, consisting of a single sheet of double-faced corrugated paper provided at its middle with two transverse oppositely-extending creases a and b and a strip 0 interposed between the creases, the creases and strip forming an expansible hinge for the cover portions, substantially as described.
