SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 642,272, dated January 30, 1900.
' Application filed March 14, 1399. Serial No. 709,042. (No model.)
To (LZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ERNEST TISSOT, aeitizen of the Republic of France, residing at 21 Rue du Quatre Septeinbre, Paris, France, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Letter-Cards and Telegraph-Cards, of which the following is a specification.
The letter-cards and telegraph-cards at present employed are formed of a rectangular sheet of paper a. This rectangle is provided with perforations c, which form an internal rectangle conforming to the outer rectangle. There is thus formed around the place reserved for the correspondence a frame or portion which may be easily and evenly detached. The upper strips d of the frame or outer margin are guinined and adhere to the lower strips 6 when the card is folded along the crease b in order to close the letter. The drawback of such letter-cards consists in that they are difficult to copy in a letter-copying book, as the gum causes the strips d to adhere to the damp sheet. In order to avoid this drawback, I have designed the improved letter-card which forms the object of the pres ent invention and which is shown in the accompanying drawings.
The gummed half of the card has provided around each strip cl an ungummed strip at (Z (1 Figure 1, which may be folded down over the corresponding strip d, as shown in Fig. 2, and thus form a protective flap or cover for the gum While the letter is being press-copied. When the copy has been taken, the strips (1 (Z2 d are folded back into the position shown in Fig. 1, the letter is then closed, and the strips (1 (Z (Z torn off along the perforations 0.
It is needless to state that there would as a matter of fact be no inconvenience in leaving the strips on the letter-card, which can be opened in the usual manner.
I declare that what I claim is- A letter-card comprising the sheet having the flaps or margins on one part extending beyond the margins or edges of the other part with the gummed surface extending around the inner edge of the flaps or margins, to be covered by the said flaps or margins while the letter is being press-copied, said flaps being detachable to be torn off when the letter is sealed substantially as described.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
ERNEST TISSOT.
