POSTAL MONEY-CARRIER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 754,218, dated March 8, 1904.
Application filed April 11, 1903.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM G. HOUGH, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Jacobs Creek, in the county of Westmoreland and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Postal Money-Carriers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in postal money-carriers; and the object of the invention is to construct a postal-carrier by means of which moneys may be transmitted safely through the mails without danger of the coin becoming detached from the carrier.
In the transmission of moneys, such as small fractional currency, through the mails it is considerable trouble to forward the same in an envelop, as it always necessitates the wrapping of the coin or other packing of the same in such a manner as to prevent danger of the coin Working through the envelop. My invention aims to dispense with this trouble and annoyance and provide means for transmitting the coin by postal money-carrier.
Briefly described, the invention comprises a postal money-carrier with a patch secured thereto in suitable manneras,for instance,by pasting-the patch being pasted to the carrier along the lower end or edge and along the two side edges of the said patch, the top or edge thereof being left unsecured, whereby to form a pocket between the carrier and the patch, into which the coin is inserted. The carrier is suitably inscribed to warn the postal employees as to the contents of the packet. After the coin is inserted into this pocket it is retained by means of a stamp placed on the carrier. I
In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and where- Serial in). 152,146. (No model.)
in like numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views,in which- Figure 1 is a plan view. Fig. 2 is a rear plan. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional View.
To put my invention into practice, I may employ an unstamped postal carrier 1 of the ordinary form or I may employ a card of heavier material than that generally used. On the address side of this card I place, near the right-hand end thereof, a patch 2, which I secure preferably by pasting along the lower end or edge and also along the two side edges, leaving the upper edge or end unattached to the card. This patch is made of suitable material and forms a pocket 8, into which a coin 4 is adapted to be inserted. After the coin has been inserted into position it is held secure by securing the upper or top end of the patch by means of the stamp 5, which is affiXed in such position that it will partially engage the postal card and partially engage the patch, as seen in the drawings. If desired,I may employ an adhesive substance on the inner face of the patch at the upper end thereof and after inserting the coin into position in the pocket between the patch and the carrier dampen the adhesive substance at the upper end of the patch and seal the same to the carrier. ith this construction, however, I preferably also apply the stamp in the manner shown, whereby to afford double security for holding the coin in the pocket. The coin being wedged firmly between the patch and the carrier, it is securely held and may be safely transmitted through the mails without danger of the same becoming displaced.
The card on the address side thereof is suitably inscrihed to warn the postal employees as to the character of the pocket contents, which may be effected by employing the words Postal Money-Carrier, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings.
While I have described the invention in detail, it Will be evident that slight changes may ing portion, so as to be sealed by the stamp be made Without departing from the general When the latter is properly positioned on said spirit of the invention. stamp-receiving portion.
Having fully described my invention, what In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in 5 c1aim as new, and desire to secure by Letters the presence of tWo Witnesses.
atent, is i A postal money-carrier comprising a card, WILLIAM HOUGH' having a stamp-receiving portion, a pocket Witnesses: formed on said card having its upper end MORGAN MAGKINNEY, IO open and extending onto said stamp-receive WILLIAM HEPLER.
