Specification of'LettersPatent.

Patented Nov. 17, 1908.

Application filed October 21, 1905. Serial No. 283,860.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, -WILLIAM C. J ONES, a citizen of the United States, residing at 1&7 Eldert street, Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have inventaccompanying drawing. v

This invention refers to envelops, and more particularly relates to that class of envelops having an auxiliary pocket associated therewith.

i The purpose of the present invention is to provide the envelop proper with an improved pocket for the the like.

' Heretofore it has been suggested to employ apcoin ocketindependent of. and distinct from t e envelop properwith means for securing the pocket to the envelop. It

integral with theenvelop blank by making extensions on certain of its flaps, but this has proven expensive, and results in an envelop 'bulksome in appearance and having bulging parts adjacent the pocket.

The present invention is therefore designed to improve such constructions by providing in a much simpler and efiective construction, an envelop having anauxiliary pocket sealed from view, and with this in mind, more specifically, the invention contemplates the utilization of an envelop of ordinary construction, whereby two flaps thereof, preferably the end sections, constitute, of themselves, respectively, the front and back of the auxiliary pocket.

The invention further contemplates an improved: closing flap for the auxiliary cket, and means whereby the closing flap or .the envelop' proper, when sealed, constitutes also the sealing medium for the pocket.

flap. a

Other improyements in the details of construction-and arrangement of parts will be more particularly referred to in the detailed description followin which should be read in connection witht e accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, and wherein a preferable embodiment of the invention is disclosed for thepurpose of illustration.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a view of the 'blank from which the envelop and pocket are formed, Fig. 2 is .a 'view of the blank with the ends folded and sealed to formthe reception of a coin or the closin auxiliary pocket, Fig. 3- is a view of the completed envelop ready for use, and Fig. 4 is a sectional View showing the completed envelop sealed, with a coin in the auxiliary pocket.

Referring. more particularly to the drawings, wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the blank from which the envelop is formed com rises a back or body portion A, end flaps l3 and C, and top and bottom flaps D and' E respectively. The end flaps B and C are formed to extend'when in folded position, to a point considerably beyond the center of the back A and are sealed at F, along'the edges only of the overlapping ends thereof, the top of the respective ends bein unattached, whereby isformed an opening into the auxiliary pocket formed by the overlappin portions of said end sections. The bottoms o the end sections B and Care preferably curved at b, 0, so that when sealed, a pocket substantially the configuration of a circular coin is formed, it being understood that the size of the pocket may vary according to that of the .coin desired to be used, and it is also to be borne in mind that when desired, this auxiliary pocket may be utilized for carrying articles other than coins, in which event the size and shape thereof may be altered. I

The tops of the end sections are cut away, as usual, for aiding insertion into the envelop proper, and the overlapping end section, in thisinstance C is further cut away centrally of the pocket at C foraiding access into said pocket, while the underlying flap-B is provided with an upward extension .at-B, the same toconstitute a closing flap for the coin ocket.

The bottom flap E is cut away at E 1 similar to, and slightly larger than the closing'flap B, for the reception of the latter, wherebyv the said closing flap and bottom flapiwill constitute substantially a continuous surface, with the outer surface of the flap B exposed for sealing, as hereinafter more particularly pointed out. The top flap D 15 of a width proportionate to the cut away portions'at the,,top of the end flaps, and has sealing'material' D applied theretoto a depth sufiicientto extend over flap B when the flaps are in closed position, it thus being seen that the sealing of the flap D to close the envelop proper simultaneously seals the flap B of the pocket.

, envelop is ready forguse.

The blank being formed as described, and

the end flaps folded and sealed along the, line suggested, the bottom flap is next folded and sealed in the ordinary manner and the In use, the envelop spaceis used as customary, the coin 1s inserted into the pocket, and the closing flap B folded over the opening thereof into the recess formed by the cut away portion of the bottom flap E, after which the top flap D is folded to seal the envelop and pocket back by the back A and fiap 'E respectively extending over the front and back of .the'

pocket.

Having thus described my-invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is v 1. In' an envelop the combination of a body portion end flaps arranged upon opposite sides of the body part to fold over the body portion and overlap one another andsealing material applied between the overlapped portions of the ends to form a coin receptacle between the said-fia s centrally of the envelop, a bottom fiapsea ed to the end flaps and means for closing the vcoiui pocket at its opening to prevent tampering with its contents.

2. An envelop comprisin a body portion and oppositely disposed aps on the respectiveends of the body portion folded thereover to constitute. the envelo' proper,

and said end flaps being of a lengt to overlap and sealed to one another at said overlapped portions to form a coin pocket intermediate said overlapped portions and substantially' centrally o the envelop, the said pocket being open at its top, and top and bottom flaps arranged to fold over said end bottom flaps for closing the opening of the coin receptacle.

3. An envelop comprising a bodyportion,

end flaps arranged to overlapand sealed to one another at a point intermediate the sides of the envelop to form opposite surfaces-of a pocket having an opening, a closing flap on one of the ends for saideopening, and top and bottom flaps for the envelop.

4. An envelop comprising a body portion, end flaps'arranged to overlap and be sealed to one another to form therebetween a pocket having an opening, a closing .fiap on one of the ends for said opening, a top .flap, and a bottom flap having a cut away portion for the reception of said closing flap.

5. An envelop comprising a body portion,

end flaps arranged to overlap when in folded position, and said end flaps being sealed to one another to form therebetween a pocket having an opening, a closing flap on one of the ends for said opening, a bottom flap, and

a top flap having sealing material thereon adapted, when the top is closed, to extend over the closing flap of the pocket, whereby both the envelop and pocket are sealed.

6. An envelop comprising a body portion, end flaps arranged to overlap when in folded position, means for securing the flaps together to form therebetween an open pocket, a flap on one of the ends for closing the pocket opening, a bottom flap having a cut away portion for the reception of said closing flap and a top flap having sealing material thereon adapted, when the. envelop is closed, to extend over the closing flap of the pocket, whereby both the e'nvelop'and pocket are sealed by saidtop flap. I In testimony whereof'I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses. v WILLIAM C. JONES. Witnesses:
