FOLDING POST-CARD.
Specification of Letters Patent.
PatentedFeb'. 2c, 1907'.
Application filedNovember 28, 1906. Serial No. 345,460-
.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FREDERICK U. SEEGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Somerville, in the county of MiddleseX and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Folding Post- Cards, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to provide a folding postal card particularly adapted for a picture postcard, the same being formed of one sheet of paper and so constructed as to be adapted for folding so as to protect the pictures printed thereon and yet when sealed, as hereinafter described, the inner faces of said folded portions will be open to inspection, so that it will not be necessary A to pay letter-postage for the same.
The invention consists in a postca'rd consisting of a single sheet of paper'or card board formed and constructed as described in the following specification and particularly as pointed out in the claims thereof.
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 isa plan view of my improved post-card, showing the same open. Figs. 2 and 3 show the same partly folded. Fig. 4 shows the card entirely folded with the exception that the gummed portions of the tongues are not fastened to the back of the card. Fig. 5 is aplan of the back of the cardafter the same has been folded and sealed. Fig. 6 is a plan of the back of the card after the same has been folded and the flaps inserted into the slits.
Like numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
In the drawings, 5 is a sheet of paper formed of an I-shaped piece, consisting of a body portion 6 and two end portions 7 and 8. Two tongues 9 9 project longitudinally of the sheet 5 from said end portion 7. The tongues 9 9 are scored transversely thereof along the lines 10 10. The paper is scored also along the lines 11 11 at the base of said tongues and in alinement with the outer edge of the end 7. Said card is also scored transversely thereof along the lines 12 and 13, said lines being located at opposite ends, respectively, of the body portion 6. The tongues 9 9 terminate in flaps 15 15, said flaps being provided, respectively, with notches 14 14 and being gumrned upon their under surfaces, by means of which the card may be sealed, if desired, as hereinafter described.
Pictures may be printed upon both faces of the tongues 9 9, the end portion 7, the body portion 6, and upon one face of the-end portion 8 ,the other face of said end portion 8 being used to address the card, the face for addressing said card being that viewed in Fig. 1. It will be noted that thetongues 9 9 are separated from each other by a space 16 substan-- tially equal in width to that of the body portion 6 and also that said tongues are of sub' stantially the same width as the spaces-17 17 upon opposite sides, respectively, of the body portion 6. The length of the body portion 6 is equal to the depth of each ofthe end portions 7 and 8, and the tongues 9 9 between-the lines 10 and 11 are of the same length as the depth ofthe end portions 7 and 8 and the length of the body portion 6. The end portion 8 is provided with two slits 18 18 near one edgethereof, each of said slits 18 18, re-' spectively, .at opposite ends-thereof, meeting two very short slits 19 19 said slits 19 19 being inclined at an angle to said slit 18, said slits 18 18 being adapted to receive the flaps 15 15, respectively. In folding the card the tongues 9 9 are first folded forwardon the lines 11 11, as'illustrated in Fig. 2. The body portion 6 is then folded backwardly on the line 12, as illustrated in'Fig. 3, bringing the end portion 8 above the rest of the card. The end portion 8 is then folded forwardly on the line 13, as shown in Fig. 4. Thefiaps 15 15' l are then folded on the lines 10 10 and may be 1 attached to the end portion 8 either by the gum on said flaps, or, if desired, said flaps may beinserted in the slits 18 18, respectively, the notches 14 14 acting to lock said flaps in place. It will thus be seen that the card, as hereinbefore specifically described, is capable of having pictures printed thereon and of being' folded and secured or sealed in such a manner that said pictures will be open to inspection, while the different folds of the card remain folded, as described.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire byLetters Patent to secure,
1. A post-card comprising an I-shaped iece of paper with two tongues projecting ongitudinally from one end thereof.
2. A post-card comprising an I-shaped piece of paper with two tongues projecting longitudinally from one end theeof, said tongues being separated from each other by a space substantially equal in width to that of the body portion of said I-shaped piece.
3. A post-card comprising an I-shaped piece of paper with two tongues projecting longitudinally from one end thereof, said l the space therebetween and to the width of tongues being of substantially the same width as the spaces upon opposite sides, respectively, of the body portion of said I-shaped piece.
4. A post-card comprising an I-shaped piece of paper with two tongues projecting ongitudinally from one end thereof, said tongues being gummed upon their ends and adapted to be attached thereby to the opposite end of said I-shaped piece to that end from which they project.
5. A post-card comprising an I-shaped piece of paper with two tongues projecting longitudinally from one end thereof, said tongues being separated from each other by a space substantially equal in width to that of the body portion of said I-shaped piece, the length of said body portion being equal to the depth of each of the end portions of said I-shaped piece.
6. A post-card comprising an Lshaped piece of paper with two tongues projecting longitudinally from one end thereof, said tongues being separated from each other'by a space substantially equal in width to that of the body portion of said Lshaped piece, the length of said body portion being equal to the depth of each of theend portions of said I-shaped piece, said tongues being of greater length than said body portion.
7. A post-eard comprising an I-shaped piece of paper with two tongues projectin longitudinally from one end thereof, said tongues being substantially equal in width to the space therebetwen and to the width of the body portion of said Lshaped piece.
8. A post-card comprising an I-shaped piece of pa er with two tongues projecting ongitudina ly from one end thereof, said tongues being substantially equal in width to the body portion of said I-shaped piece, the length of said body portion being substantially equal to the depth of the end portions of said I-shaped piece.
9. A post-card comprising an I-shaped piece of paper with two tongues projecting longitudinally from one end thereof, said tongues being substantially equal in Width to the space therebetween and to the width of the body portion of said .'[-shaped piece, the length of said body portion being substantially equal to the depth of the end portions of said I-shaped piece and the length of said tongues being greater than the length of said body portion.
10. A post-card comprising an I-shaped piece of paper with two tongues projecting longitudinally from one end thereof, each of said tongues being provided, respectively, near the free end thereof, with a notch in one of its longitudinal edges, said paper being also provided with two slits adapted to receive the free ends of said tongues, respectively. is

A post-card comprising an I-shaped piece of paper with two tongues projectin longitudinally from one end thereof, said tongues terminating in flaps, each of said flaps being provided, respectively, with a notch in one edge thereof, said paper being also provided with two slits adapted to receive said flaps, respectively.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing wit- DQSSGS.
