T6 all whom. 'it may conccrn: g g, v
13e it known'that I, GEouou'H. Sommo, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of New York, borougltof Manhattan,=in the county and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Return Mailing-Cards,of which the following is a specification. l t
The invention relates to folded postal cards having a section arranged to be torn off and remailed.
The object of the invention is to provide a card in `which the address, read through an opening or window in one flap or section, servesas a signature for Ithe reply flap or section and in which samples or other inserted matter may be sent; .and which will forma convenient envelop for the preservation and identification of the samples or other insert after the reply flap has been removed. A
The invention consists in certain novel features and arrangements by which the above objects are attained,
to be hereinafter described.
The accompanying drawings form a part of this specification and show an approved form of the invention.
Figure lis a perspective view of the card in the un- .folded condition. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the card partly folded. Fig. 3 is a view of the obverse or address face of the card, in the folded condition, ready for mailing. Fig. 4 is a correspondingviewof the reverse face. Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section on theline 5--5 in Fig. 3. Fig. 6 is a view of the re-mailing address face of the reply flap, removed from the card. Fig. 7 is -a face view of the remaining portions of the card folded to preserve the inclosed insert or samples.
Similar letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the figures.
A is a card having an opening a therein and having two wings or flaps Al A? attached to its ends, thus forming three portions Al A A2 joined at the ends and creased along the lines of junction to fold one upon the other. The line a1 is preferably perforated or weakened to permit the ap A2, serving as the reply section, to be easily detached. At the outer end of the section Al the mate rial of the card is folded upon itself and stitched or gummed along the interior ofthe fold, leaving the margin free to serve as a tuck A3 beneath which the folded aps A A2 are received to hold the whole against unfold ing in transmission. Along the line azis secured' the insert-.in the form of leaves or otherwise, and which may vbe understood for the purposes of thisdescription to be several leaves'or samples of silk fabric M .stitched or otherwise fastened.
The portion A or address section, in which is the aperture a, has on its outer face a place for the postage stamp and may `carry the words Reply Mailingvcard and This side 'for address only. The reply section or flap A2 carries on its inner face the name and place of Specification of Letters Patent. Appleman sied January 11,1907. serai no. a51,7'74.
Patented Oct. 8', 1907.
the addressee which may also servel as a signature to the,
reply and which is so placed relatively to the opening a as to be easily read therethrough when the card is folded; the outer face, shown in Fig. 6, carries a place for a return stamp and the address of the original sender printed thereon. On the outer face of the section A' or communication flap, on which is the tuck A, maybe written or printed any desired matter referring to the inclosed samples or other communication, and its inner face maybe used for the same purpose or advertising matter, or a sample may be gummed thereon.
In folding the card the reply flap A2 is folded upon the address ap A and these again folded upon the communication flap Al and the bight or fold engaged be-l neath the tuck A3, the card is then, or previously, stamped and is ready for transmission through the mail. When received by the addressee a reply may be made by detaching the reply flap A2 bearing on its outer face the address of the sender, and remailing it, the original address on the inner face serving as a signature toy any communication written above it. The address flap may then be folded down upon the flap Al and secured beneath the tuck, thus `inclosing the samples M for future use but permitting the outer leaf thereof to be seen through the opening a. This outer leaf may bear words-or marks seen through such opening, by which the contents may be easily identified without further examination. l
Modifications may be made in the forms, proportions and arrangement of the parts. The tuck may be replaced by any suitable fastening conforming to the postal rules. There may be advertising matter printed upon the several faces other than those serving as address faces. The insert may be widely varied. It may be a folder bearing views or advertising matter, or a blank or printed booklet, or a sample of any suitable description gummed or otherwise attached.
