UNITED STATES PATENT QEEIGE.
GEORGE W. SCHWEER-, OF VINDSOR, MISSOURI.
COMBINED sTAM-P, STATIONERY, AND CASH BOX.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 727,211, dated May 5, 1903.
, Application filed January 5, 1903 T0 ail whom it may concern:
Beit known that I, GEORGE W. SCHWEER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Windsor, in the county of Henry and State of Missouri, have invented a new and usefulCombined Stamp, Stationery, and Cash Box, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a combined stamp, stationery, and cash box particularly adapt ed for the use of letter-carriers in the delivcry and collection of maillin the rural freedelivery districts, and has for its object to provide a simple inexpensive device of this character wherein the stamps, envelops, &c., may be compactly and conveniently arranged in several compartments for distribution, the whole being so arranged and constructed as to enable the carriers to quickly obtain access to the several compartments and transport the box from place to place without disarranging the contents. I
A further object of the invention is'to provide the box with a novel form of stamp-book and holder for the same, the stamps being arranged between the oiled leaves of the book and retained within the holders in such a manner as to effectually prevent their accident-a1 displacement and enable the carriers toselect one or more stamps of any desired denomination without disarranging the rest. 7
The invention consists in the constructio and novel combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claimshereto appended.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the box constructed in accordance with my invention, the lid being open, showing the several compartments. Fig. 2 is a 1on gitudinal section. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the stamp-book. o
Similar numerals of reference indicate cor responding partsin all the figures of the drawlugs.
1 designates the body of the box,formed of sheet metal or other suitable material, open at the top and-at one end, and consists of-the side pieces 2, an end ,piece 3, and bottornft. A cover 5, having a depending end portion 6, is pivoted to the bottom 4 by means of a pin 7. The cover 5 isprovided with a flange 8, which rests when the lid is closed on the over- Serial No. 137,830. (No model.)
hanging flange 9, formed on the end and sides of the box. Ajtransversely-disposed partition 10 is arranged within the box, dividing the body thereof into two compartments 11 and 12, the compartment 11 being used as a moneys-receptacle. Withinthecompartment 12 is a hinged tray 13, pivoted between the side Walls 2 of the box by means of pins 14. The tray 13 is provided with a horizontallydisposed partition 15, defining a pairof pockets or compartments 16 and 17, adapted to receive envelops, postal cards, &c.,'and'the front edges of these pockets or com partmentsrecede one from the other to permit the carriers to more readily grasp the cards or other articles and facilitate their removal;
Pivoted to the top 18 of the tray 13 and at the rear end thereof is. a tray orholder 19,, one end thereof being bent inwardly and downwardly to form a clamp 20, which engages the cover of a stamp-book 21 and by means of which the book-is removably secured within the holder 19. The stamp-book 21 rests between the upwardly ext-ending flanges or sides 22 of the, holder 19, which prevents lateral displacement of the book, and the holder 19 is also provided witharecessed portion 23, which permits the book to be grasped and re- -moved from the holder when desired.
The pivoted tray 13 and hinged holder 19 are arranged within the compartment 12 in such a manner as to allow them to be swung upwardly either independently or together, the combined height of the trayand holder being approximately equal to the depth of the box, so that when said tray and holder are folded within the compartment 12 the top of the holder 12 will lie below-the topi; of the box,,thereb.y permitting the-cover 5 to be closed, forming a substantially rectangular I box sde lr re 1E12 J e1 drawlngs. A v
The stamp-book 21 consists of a number of leaves of oiled or otherwise specially-prepared paper 24, between which are placed sheets of stamps, and arranged at' predetermined intervals between the oiledlea'ves 24 are division-plates 25, formedof'pape'r or other suitable material, which divide the book into several sections, each section being designed to receive a particular denomination of stamps. The stamp-book is preferably formed of sufficient size to accommodate sheets of stamps of twenty-five or more, and these sheets are preferably arranged between the oiled leaves in the order of greatest demand, each denomination of stamp being separated from the rest by one of the divi sion-plates 25-for instance, stamps of the two-cent denomination being interposed be-- tween the first few oiled leaves and then a division-plate inserted, then one-cent stamps and a division-plate, and so on, each denomination being arranged in a predetercompartment, if desired, the two compartments being independently hinged.
From the foregoing description it will be seen I'have produced a simple inexpensive combination-box, the relative disposition of the parts being such as to permit the several compartments to be swung outwardly, exposing their contents, and compactly folded wit'hinithe .body of the box, so that the box canoe transported from place to place as the occasionrequires.
- Various changes in form, proportions, and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim -is- 1. 111 a receptacle, the combination with a body portion, of a cover, a pivoted com partment disposed within the body portion and having a plurality of pockets, the front edges of which recede one from the other and a stamp-book holder hinged to the pivoted compartment.
2. In a receptacle, the combination with a body portion, of a cover, a plurality of independently-hinged compartments disposed within the body portion, and clamping means for removably securing a book in one of the compartments.
' 3. In a receptacle, the combination with a body portion, of a hinged cover, a plurality of outwardly-swinging pivoted compartments disposed within the body portion, one of said compartments forming a holder adapted to receive a stamp-book, and means for removably securing the book within the holder.
t. In a receptacle, the combination with a body portion, of a pivoted cover, a plurality of outwardly swinging pivoted compartments disposed within the body portion, one of said compartments having its rear end portion bent inwardly and downwardly to 7 form a clamp for a removable stamp-book.
5. In a receptacle, the combination with a body portion, of a pivoted cover, an outwardly-swinging compartment pivoted between the side walls of the body portion, said compartment being provided with a series of pockets, the front edges of which recede one from the other, and a stamp-book holder hinged to the compartment, said holder and compartment being adapted to be swung outwardly either independently or together.
6. In a receptacle, the combination with a body portion of a cover, a pl'urality of independentlyoutwardly swingingcompartments pivoted within the body portion, one of said compartments being provided with an overhanging, clamping member adapted to removably secure a book within the compartment.
7. In a receptacle, the combination with a body portion, of a pivoted cover, a pair of independently outwardly swinging compartments pivoted within the body portion, the lower compartment being provided with a horizontally-disposed partition defining a series of pockets the front edges of which recede one from the other and the upper compartment being formed with upwardlyextending side flanges and an inwardly and downwardly extending end portion forming a book-holding clamp.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
GEORGE W. SGHWEER.
