Serial No. 13,985. No m del-1 To (ZZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that l, GEORGE IllENoKEL,a citizen of the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton, in the State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful. Improvement in Advertising Pouches or Pockets, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to an improvement in pouches or pockets more especially adapted for the reception of cigars and the like and is principally designed for use as an advertising medium, for which purpose it must be inexpensive in construction. I therefore profor to construct the pouch or pocket of paper, though of course it maybe made of any desirable material.

The object of the invention is v to produce an advertising device in which a portion or all of the advertising matter or information may be partially or entirely concealed from. view, but which will by reason of itspeculiar character attract the attention of the investigator and direct his attention to the matter or'information desired to be conveyed to him, and the construction and peculiarities-of the pouch or pocket will be more fully hereinafter set forth.

In. the drawings which form a part of my specification, Figure l is a perspective view ofmy improved pouch or pocket. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of same, taken on the line 2 2 of] Fig. I. Fig. 3 is a similar view with the slide pulled out. Fig. 4 is a front View of my improved pouch, which for the purpose of illustration is provided with a portion of a figure, while the slide is provided with another figure, a portion of which ,registers with the portion on the pouch. Fig. 5 is a similar view with the slide slightly pulled out.

7 nor,

lone portion of the sheet forming one of the faces is cut or made shorter than the other and the extending portion a of the other, Figs. 2 and 3, secured to the opposite face A by glue or other suitable adhesive substance and preferably on the inside of the pouch or pocket, thus leaving a smooth and unbroken surface. v

I provide the pouch with a slide 0, which slides down in between and is held in place by the bellowsfolds a, as can clearly be seen in Fig. 1. In order that this'slide C may be readily grasped when it is desired to withdraw it, I prefer to make it extend slightly beyond the topof the pouch, as shown. in

Figs. 1', 2, and 4, though of course there are other ways in which the same result may be attained. To prevent the slide Obeing entirely withdrawn from the pouch or pocket, and thus apt to' become lost and destroy the essential characteristic of my vinvention, I provide the slide 0 with a substantially-perpendicular flange d on the side of the slide 0 which is adjacent the face of the pouch or pocket.

down into the pocket, thus reinforcing the top, and the folded-in portion 6 on the face adjacent the flange side of the slide permitted to extend slightly away from. the wall or side of the pocket, so that when the slide is pulled out the flange d on the slide 0 will engage with the turned-in portion e, and thus prevent the entire withdrawal of the slide.

Instead of having the entire top of the pouch overlap, as shown and described, the top portion adjacent the slidemay simply be provided with a strip so arranged as to engage with the flange onthe slide and prevent the with- 'drawal.

The purposeof my invention is to use the pouch or pocket as an advertising medium. The face of the pocket may have any suitable inscription or picture complete in itself, and the slide 0 also be provided with any desirable picture or inscription, or the respective pictures or inscriptions on the pouch and slide may be fragmentary and incomplete in themselves, or the design on the pouch be incompletc-and the slide portion'of which will be exposed when the side, or, as illustrated in Figs, 2 and 3, the

slide is in its normal position, and this exprovided with a design, a

The top of the pouch or pocket may be folded posed portion register with the fragmentary design on the pocket-Pas, forinstance, I have shown in Figs; 4 and 5-and the nature of the inscription or picture be such as to arouse the curiosity of the observer, and thus induce him to withdraw the slide, thereby bringing to is inserted, as shown in Fig. 4, shows the girl in full attire, but upon withdrawing the slide 0, as shown in Fig. 5, the figure is shown dcollet. It will of course be understood that any desi-rable inscription or design may be provided inentary part of the advertising matter vie on the pouch, and the matter maybe arranged in a different manner from that shown and I do not limit myself to the exact representation or manner of arranging same, as illus-j instead in the drawings; but

What I doclaim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. An advertising device consisting of a collapsible pouch or pocket, and a removable slide arranged to pass between and held in place by the folds and wall of the pocket, said removable slide adapted to contain advertising matter, so arranged as to have a fragble when the slide is in its normal position, substantially as shown and for the purpose described.

2. An advertising device consisting ofa rectangular paper pouch or pocket arranged to collapse and havin a fragmentary design on its face, a removab e slide arranged to pass between and be held in place by the folds and one of the walls of the pocket said slide adapted to contain any suitable design, the slide when in its normal position arranged to partially protrude from said pocket, and the imprint on the pocketand' said slide when in its normal position, producinga design of a certain configuration which is altered upon the withdrawal of said slide, substantially as shown and for the purpose described.

3. In an advertising device, a rectangular pouch or pocket arranged to collapse and havinga fragmentary design on its face, said pocket reinforced at its inner upper edge by an overlapping portion of the walls, in com bination with a removable slide adapted to contain any suitable design, and provided with a substantially-perpendicular flange on its lower end, said slideheld in place by and arranged to slide between the. folds of the pocket and its side wall; the flange on said slide being intermediate the slide and wall and engaging with the overlapping strip at the pocket top when the slide is withdrawn; the slide with a portion of :its design normally extending slightly beyond the pocket top, the portion of the imprint thus exposed and the fragmentary design on said pocket conjointly producing a'coinplete design of one configuration, and the withdrawal of the slide producing another, substantially as and in the manner described.

- 4. Inan advertising device, a rectangular pouch or pocket, having a fragmentary de sign on its face, said pocket provided on its inside upper edge with a flange or rim, in combination with a removable slide adapted to contain any suitable design, of means intermediate the lower end of said slide and the pocket-Wall to engage with said top rim to prevent the entire withdrawal of said slide,

' the slide and a portion of its design normally extending beyond the pocket top, the exposed portion of said slide design and the fragmentary design of'the pocket conjointly producing a complete design of one configuration, the withdrawal of the slide auother,substantially as and in the manner described.

5. An advertising-pouch comprising a removable slide, with means intermediate the top of the pouch and the lower end of said slide to prevent its entire withdrawal, the pouch and slide rovided with any suitable design, and'the s ide normally extending beyond the pouch top; the fragmentary deeigggisa thus exposed to view conjointly prodneinga complete design of one configuration, which is altered upon the withdrawal of the slide,

substantially as shown and in the manner specified.
