POSTAL-CARD SHIELD 0R COVER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 4, 1910,
Application led April 2, 1909. Serial N o. 487,392.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that LIRA T. Doxsnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bay Shore, in the county of Suffolk and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Postal-Card Shields o'r Covers, of which ,the following is a specification. v
Thisy invention relates to a postal card shield or cover, adapted for use in connection with ordinary postal cards or souvenir and tinseled postal cards to cover and protect the same from wear or from becoming soiled `orv injured, while at the same time forming a supplemental larger area of writin space. A
The object of the invention is to provide andefiective cover or a simple, inexpensive shield of this character which will expose sheet to afford a the front of the card and conceal and protect the back and corner edges thereof, which is adapted to form a letter sheet to increase the writing surface of the missive, and which is also adapted to permit of the ready insertion and removal of the card.
In the accompanying drawing illustrating the intientiom-- igure l is a face view of a postal card having'my improved cover or shield applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a rear'view of the cover or'shield. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the blank from which said cover or shield is made.
Referring to the drawing l designates apostal card of the type commonly in use, and 2 the improved cover or shield. The cover or shield comprises an oblong rectangular sheet or body portion 3, of paper or other suitable material, which is co-extensive in size or substantially so with the card l. The. body portion 3 is 'ada ted to bear `card without against and cover the back of t ie card 1, and is left plain so that either one or both of its surfaces may be employed as writing surfaceson which V`a letter, address or reeting may be written. :The cover or shiel is provided upon its front face with corner pockets 4 extending obliquely across the same. In the production of the cover, which is made from the form of blank shown in Fig. i
flaps 5 which are folded over upon the front of the body 3 on the dotted lines 6 and are y formed at their outer edges with tabs 7 having their inner faces gummed, which tabs are folded over the longitudinal edges of the body 3 and down uponthe back of the same and fastened by their gummed faces to said body.
It will be understood from the foregoing description that the card 1 may be inserted into the pockets 4 by springing or slippingl each end in turn into the respective pockets at each end of the cover, whereupon the back of the card will be shielded by the. cover and the corners thereof inclosed and protected, while the face of the caid will be exposed for the observation of the affixed stamp and address. this structure of the cover leaves the intermediate portions of both the end and longitudinal side edges of the card exposed so that they may be gripped to facilitate -the insertion and removal of the card.
As before stated, one purpose and advantage of the cover or shield resides in its adaptation for use as a letter sheet, having opposite'surfaces which may be written upon to increase the writing area of the missive. Souvenir postal cards of the kind now in common use leavevery little space for a message, and the object of my invention is to provide a cover which will not only protect the rear face of the card, as well as the corners of the card, but will also allow a letter or message of some length to be sent with the -the payment of additional postage.
It will be shield will protect the rear faces of picture postals and other ornamental postals, such as those having a tinseled surface, by which highly ornamented `cards may be sent through the mail without liability of becoming soiled or injured. freely slippedy out of the cover without w1' drawing it therefrom, it is freely accessible to the postal authorities for inspection.
As the card may be 3, the pockets 4 are formed by triangular It will also be seen that' understood that the cover or or bowed Having thus described the invention what tabs folded over the4 longitudinal edges of 10 is claimed as new is Y the body and' gummed to the rear face A cover for postal cards comprising a recthereof.l l' tangular body having triangular flaps In testimony,whereof I aix my signature .15 formed on the end edges of the body -adjaf in presence of two witnesses.
Acent-. the corners thereof and folded over IRA T. DOXSE. up'n the front face of the body and forming Witnesses: correspondingly shaped pockets, said'laps Y DAVID MURPHY,
being provided at their outer-edges with EARLE GIBSON.
